I'm pretty sure that the "H with the line through it" is "chi". At least that's what it looks like to me.

I have a laptop! Although, I still have little motivation to do much. Hopefully I can actually do a project without stopping this time.

The game sounds cool. I like the characters poses and that your small on the world map. Can't say I'm a big fan of the rtp hero though. And some of the maps could need some work. They are kinda empty.

But I wish you good luck. And I will play the game when it's out.

The RTP hero is in there because the vast majority of the main cast of this game is based on real people. Bill is a real friend of mine. He live in New York. He wanted the RTP hero to be his character's avatar in the game. I don't particularly agree with the choice, but it's his character, so what the hell.

I really should write a FAQ that clears up oddities like that.

FAQ!

Q. CoD? Like Call of Duty?
A. No, NOT like Call of Duty! I had this name first, way back in 2000! If anything, they ripped me off!

Q. What happened to CoD1?
A. When my friend and I got into RPG programming way back in the day, we started making CoD(1) together. But two people can't really work at the same time on a game in RPGMaker that well so I started working on a sequel in the downtime. That became CoD2. There are a few versions of CoD1 hovering around - my friend Bill posted a topic here on the forums about it a while ago.

Q. What's with all the Zeal stuff? Is this a Chrono Trigger fangame?
A. Not really. This is a difficult question to answer without walls of text, but the short of it is that the country in the game, the Flying Islands of Jasonia, was a government project I worked on back in 2000-2001. The project was based on the map of Zeal from Chrono Trigger, but none of Chrono Trigger's actual plot or anything. So there's a city named Kajar where Trigger's Kajar is because the government simulation stole the map, but CoD2's city of Kajar is nothing like Trigger's since CoD2 isn't based on Trigger's plot. There used to be a really nifty website that explained this better but geocities's closing deleted it. :(

After a while though, I realized the Chrono Trigger references and comparisons weren't going to go away no matter how much I tried to explain things so I started to roll with it. It's a game about parallel worlds. I'll let you consider the possibilities I could come up with...

Q. Why are some of the heroes RTP characters?
A. Because a lot of the characters in the game were participants in the government simulation explained above. Most of the cast is either directly or loosly based on a real person in real life. Because I'm a softy, I let them pick their own graphics and some of them went with RTP stuff. Bill is RTP Alex because that is who real-Bill wants CoD2-Bill to look like. Dems the breaks.

Q. Is there a demo available?
A. Right now, no. I'm working on finishing the game once and for all, but when I get to a convenient stopping point, I'll package it as a demo. And by "demo" I mean 2/3 of a full game that is like 20 hours long with lots of subquests. The full game will be made available on Feb 19th, 2010 - exactly 10 years after the FIoJ government sim project began. Man I'm getting old...

Sai'Kar is right with the "Saturn" thing, although it is scarily close to chi.

The game looks pretty fun to play. Though I'd have to agree with ZE about the RTP Hero, but if that's what your friend really wants, then whatever I guess.

Sadly I don't think Bluhman has any intention to continue Alpha Force. So we may never see them again. Aslo interesting FAQ. More game makers should write them.

I've played the first one and it wasn't bad =). I wish you luck on this project. I may attempt to do a portrait of Saikar one day since I need some practice drawing females.

I would love you forever. Or at the least try to return the favor somehow.

Saikar in 15mins!

Eh something I drew up in Dino Class today while watching a movie. I've tried to go all different with the bangs but in the end Im not satisfied. I could drew her from memory after seeing your sig so many times lol. If I spent more time with her I could work on her anatomy a bit.

P.S. I haven't drawn boobs in LONG while so I made them a bit bigger.. As you can see.
