What's on your mind?

If I put a bunch of my older work (say 20-50 pieces of music in multiple genres) up for use, royalty free, no charge, would anyone find it useful here? I don't want to bother if nobody will find it useful because it would take me a while to organise the thread and tracks.

Stuff like this(click) and this(click).

That would be VERY helpful, Renny-kun! Your music is always great, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to use your great music

(WITH crediting, of course <3 )

By the way, I played both of those songs at the same time, and for some reason they mesh well at certain points. Trippy

Oh! And this is what's on my mind:

I'd use it =)
I know of the quality of 99% of your music; it'd find a home in a project for sure =D

So, here's what's on my mind.... it's sort of a dark and twisted road, so here goes.


Recently I began working on two other projects in addition to my 'Heroes of Roguehaven' and realizd that all three of them sort of have a purpose in one goal. It got me thinking... really...

Even though I already tried to get things started for DaVinci, I felt it was time to actively pursue a new version of DaVinci Spritesets, based off of the highly posed and used Half-Kaiser sized sprites. I feel that as long as my base centers around a 32 tile system, I should be fine with a three-tile or taller sprite, as long as I am assured that I can use my paperdolling on the sprite effectively. This way, should I need to (or if others want to) make smaller versions for game,s its much easier and cripser to take largers sprites and condense them than to take smaller ones and make them bigger.

Then of course, there's my baby Shakespeare Envision, which I feel will allow for the array and scripting of tons of names for actors, NPCs and more, and with all that, I could develop portions of my game utilizing these scripts for all sorts of NPC populations in and around the game. These NPCs might not necessarily be the big ones of the storyline, but with a nice Event Spawner, these events could carry on lives of their own within the game, populating maps with side quests and more! These quests could very well be unique to the each game, so I'm definitely seeing the benefit in that, in the uniqueness alone.

And of course my big game itself, Heroes of Roguehaven. WOW what a roller coaster it's been. First I was using this engine, then that engine, then I wanted this resolution, then I wanted it 3d and then, and then, and then... while I'm still working on some tilesetting, I feel that a majority of my woodland tileset is done, and if I wanted to condense some things down to about 15 good skills to work with, maybe 100 base items, and some nice skills, I could have a workable intro / tech demo by April. With that being said, and with premium spritesets coming out on the market more and more, I thought maybe I should start crafting my own, just to undercut the competition.

Which brings me back to all three projects. I decided I would put all three projects on point, spearheading the launch of Jay Ray Games on the web. Someone told me I should pursue getting my name out there, so I did, both for my local graphic design company, as well as for my game hobby, in hopes of well, providing resources freely, as well as making a few bucks hre and there for premium items. I think it's horrible to charge $20 dollars for 2d sprites, even if the models themselves DO cost hundreds of dollars on most major websites, and NOT allow people to frankensprite those smae sprites, so I want to start my own version of the HKCP style project online...

Using the new DaVinci Template as a resource, I plan to have a forum, somewhat like save-point, specifically for things like the spritesheets, particle animations, GUI plates, designer blocks for menu systems, menu backgrounds, Battle backgrounds and more, all with the idea of pre-rendered digital art as its focus, some for free, and some for a few bucks here and there... again, nothing major as far as cost.

I have went ahead and reserved my business name(s) in this state, looking forward to my DBA going through fairly soon, and looking to the horizon.

i got a call back for an audition i had yesterday. maybe for acting, maybe for writing, i'm not sure. it's for a sketch comedy series filming outside Milwaukee.

this is what i read, two bits i had on my notepad on my phone i put together with some older openers that were open mic good:

Content Hidden

sorry i don't have anything memorized, i was up late last night watching park city's favorite public access show: extreme invasion home edition. plus, i took a dayquil AND a nyquil this morning, so my cold doesn't know WHAT time it is.

i have what's known as restless brain sydrome. i'll give you an example -

why do we have shirtsleeves and pantlegs instead of shirtarms and pantsleeves?

why do we put shirts in dressers, dresses in closets, and get dressed in bathrooms where we take showers when we put clothes in closets to keep them dry and so we dont have to fold them even though nobody folds anything in their dresser anyway so what difference does it make? i dont have time for this,

i got important shit to do goddamnit! im launching an all out scientifically designed, multinationally coordenated effort, specifically tasked with the aim of discovering exactly what happens to the lightbulb in my refrigerator when the door's closed.

im convinced the power company might be up to something.

most people would just simply place a camcorder in the cheese crisper next to the powdered rhinocerous testicles, and close the door, bingo problem solved, we can all go back to watching the dog lick his nutsack, but hey, im not most people.

my plan involves 2 geese, 5 wooden nickles, and a 9-iron. you see wooden nickles scare the shit out of geese, so one'll beat the other to death with the golf club, bust the lightbulb on the backswing, and get electrocuted, cooking it perfectly.

i get a meal, and the power company can go to hell.

Next time try the Wolf/Granny joke.

[MetalRenard]

Good material. ^_^
If you're seriously considering writing though, please consider proper grammar and punctuation. My eyes are bleeding. :P

[KasperKalamity]

well it's formatted to read the way i want to say it. i read directly from my phone, since they were on short notice, so i was scrambling to crapspackle notes together into something readable

On my mind this time?
