It's been two full years since I last made my rounds in these old stomping grounds.

Anyway, I'm using my dA account to serve as a repository for my bestiary and other conceptuals. Eventually, I hope it to hold most if not all of the art that I'll be using for the Serzahnk RPG that I've been working on and off for about a year now.

So far the RPG itself has around 40 minutes of available playtime (I'm guesstimating about 1 hr 30 min. when the prologue is fully ready) and 25 minutes of Storytime (only doing what is necessary as compared to completing every possible sidequest in the surroundings)

When it starts casually breaking the hour mark, I'll think about releasing a new beta candidate over on RMXP.org. Or when the Prologue is finished. (That way there'll be something out there that will let people know whether they want to play the full game or not; the Prologue and portions of Chapter One will be later recompiled to make a 'demo'.

As far as a completed, fully-featured game, is concerned: it's unlikely. By 2010 I hope to have most of what I can get accomplished done and I expect the game to have roughly 8 hours worth of playtime. I'll include it in future portfolios that I send out to gaming companies who wonder how my skills in game design are coming along.

In the far future, I'd love to recreate this game as a full, 40-hour, epic sprawling across time and space to fully stitch together the long and intricate history behind the name "Firgof Umbra" and the Firgof's lasting impact on the world itself. I might even introduce 'jumping' between chapters, allowing you to replay as the Firgof of a certain era in different portions of the game to see how his/her presence would've impacted the world.

That will probably tie into the New Game+ feature I'm slowly hammering into the game. But anyway, that's about all there is to say about the RPG at this time. If you'd like more up-to-the-day news, head on over to my official topic on RMXP.org.
