Alex95

When I first signed up for Serenes Forest, I was a bit wary of the internet. I guess the "dangers of the internet" just put me off. But I got bored, life wasn't going anywhere, so I figured "screw it" and signed up. And I haven't regretted it since. Made lots of friends (and a few enemies), had some fun times in chat, begged joked about becoming a mod... fun times. It's been fun, but sadly, I'm just not feeling it anymore. There just doesn't seem to be anything worthwhile here anymore. I joined almost three years ago due to boredom, but nowadays, I'm not as bored. Power Master's finally gotten off the ground (somewhat) and I've become an active member over on the NIWA wikis, specifically the Mario Wiki. While I'm not as outgoing today as I was when I first joined due to health issues (which I honestly feel are getting worse), I slowly found myself becoming less and less active here over the past couple of months. I've mentioned I'd be leaving at a few points in the past, but now I'm making it official. If you need to get in touch with me, my message box is still open, but I likely won't be seeing the threads much, which means I won't be updating my Power Master or One Word Story threads. You can find me under Alex95 on the NIWA wikis, where I am much more active, so you can contact me there as well. The last major event I'll be a part of here is the Scribbles Contest, which I have already submitted for. Maybe I'll become more active in the future, maybe I won't. But for now, thank you for my time in the forest. Even though I've been picked on and had my morals thrashed about a few times, I enjoyed my time here regardless. I think, like, two other people made a thread like this today. 'Tis a sad day for Serenes Forest users. [spoiler=To Anacybele]While your morals and integrity may have been constantly called into question, you're a great person. Stick with your ideals and don't let anyone bring you down. [spoiler=To Integrity and Specta]I've probably gotten under your skin a few times by constantly joking about becoming a mod. I never truly meant it as anything more than a joke. Apologies. [spoiler=To Noahfest and Saethori]I haven't seen you two much recently, so I hope you two are alright. [spoiler=To Zera]Don't be a butt.

This is pretty much how I thought Fates was originally going to go, minus the "choose a lord" bit. Though it'd be nice to see that return from Sacred Stones.

Hey, you have the same birthday as my brother! Welcome to the forest and enjoy your time here!

I like your red

Eliwood, Zihark, Lon'qu, Kyle Curse you, Emerson, for choosing Owain.

Say you moved to Canada I'm going to echo what a few others have said and politely say "back off". Politely. I've had a few girls annoy me before (none going as far as to say they'd marry me, though). Usually it was just a one time thing, but if it continued, I told them to stop. Most of the time they did. Other times you'd have a girl follow you around I fail to see the bad side to this.

Yeah, I get that developers leave stuff behind sometimes when things get cut or rushed. I did that my game, some things that weren't used are still in the coding or database. This makes sense. Hiding content from view before it's completely ready, but it was still being developed. Guess the update wasn't as well planned ahead...

With the reveal of Fire Emblem related bits in Miitomo, I remembered a topic I've been meaning to make for some time. Why do developers include bits from a future project in updates? It honestly makes no sense to me. You could say they're "preparing" for said project, but I think it makes more sense to just do it all in one go. By that I mean, data miners are everywhere; something's going to be found out. Why do developers put stuff like that in? Is it an Easter Egg? Are they putting those in purely for data miners to help with the hype? Is Nintendo just trolling us?

I agree with you there. I haven't played any other game that uses the RStick for anything other than aiming or camera, nor can I think of one. Had a blast with Ape Escape 2, bought 3 but never played it, never had 1. In my own opinion, I can't think of another game that uses a time-cycle as strictly or well-done as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Everyone has their own schedule to keep, so there's constant events happening. I haven't played a game that is so reliant on time control as Majora's.

One full fridge, one freezer, and one nonfunctional fridge that is currently sitting outside in the cold. Plus a minifridge somewhere.

YouTube's been having a lot of problems lately. For example, I'm still getting notifications from comments posted back in April! Eight months ago!

Here we go! First off, the need-to-be-included's: Princess Daisy: She's been left out of the fun since Melee when Peach got her colors as an alternate skin, and now she's been bumped in favor of Rosalina. Don't mind if Rosalina stays in, but please include Daisy! I'm thinking her attacks could be based on the sports series of games, seeing as she's mainly a "spin-off character" at this point. While I agree with you on Impa or Vaati, personally I'd like another Link, but this one would use more of the items than the current Link uses. The Fire Rod, Tornado Rod, Ice Rod, Sand... Rod... just give him all the Rods and you'd have a good move set? Isaac from Golden Sun: He NEEDS to get the "Little Mac treatment." As an Assist Trophy in Brawl, his Move move was a bit OP, but perhaps he could rely on his other Adept skills. Hector/Ephraim/Anyone-other-than-a-sword-user/main-character. ...That. Specifically Hector or Ephraim, though. Snake. First third-party character to be dropped, so he should be back. Ice Climbers. Due to the 3DS's limitation, they had to be cut. Now with the Switch as just one system, there's no reason why they shouldn't be back. Takamaru. His skills would be perfect here! He was originally going to be a fighter, but got shoved for Duck Hunt Dog. Second, the unlikely-ones: While the inclusion of Indie characters is a bit iffy at this point, I'd like to see Shovel Knight, Shantae, etc. appear. Even if it's just as an Assist Trophy, it'd be cool! Rayman: The trophy's tease certainly got people hoping and his moves would work well in Smash, I think. Chun-Li: We got Ryu, might as well throw another Street Fighter into the mix. Or at least Akira from Virtual Fighter. Both are plausible. Knuckles. Seriously. Knuckles. Bring on the full force of the Chaos Emerald! Some Dragon Quest character, likely Erdrick, but I'd be cool with anyone. Just as long as they call up an army of Slimes for their final Smash! The ones likely to be cut. Some are gonna have to go, unfortunately. That's just how things are: Roy. Poor kid. Maybe if they could base some of his moves more off of characters from Binding Blade, he might have a better chance of staying. Lucas. Barely made it in as a favorite DLC fighter, but unless Mother 3 gets an official localization, I don't see him coming back. Duck Hunt. Screw him, put Takamaru in! Any third party character other than Sonic. Sonic will likely stay due to him and Mario being buddies at this point, but there's little hope for Pac-Man, Cloud, and of course, Bayonetta. Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Lucina. You probably know the reason. Other things I'd like to see are a complete overhaul on costumes (they should start having fun with them!) and giving Ganondorf his own moveset. Tried to post in the other thread, but it got deleted as I was typing. Thanks, Ike.

Vincent, Jyosua, Tangerine I think... Could be wrong. I wasn't around on the other forums, so just going off of what people have told me.

There are a few FESS forumers here. Aside from the top admins, Lord Raven's the only one that comes to mind. Welcome to the forest and enjoy your time here!

Working on the face portraits of Stephan, trying to come up with a good basis for the rest. I can tell I'm getting better, though some things, like highlights, I just can't quite get. So I added a glow effect to the one on the right, which gave him a bright face... idk, thoughts/tips? How is it?

How did I end up being included on the list? I just need to wear the hat?

I'm debating on whether or not I should remake Stephan's portrait. The one currently in use was spliced together for a different "project". I'm sure I could do better now.

Trying to download the Ancient Language font from Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn, though the link seems to be dead. Is the font still around? Page: http://serenesforest.net/radiant-dawn/miscellaneous/ancient-language/

Greetings!

It's really not that hard to get my name right... There's a space. Also, it's "Shadow of the Black Knight." ...Eh, whatever. I'm just being picky. :P I have something planned for this one, much better than that low-quality drawing I did last year. Thing is it'll take me a while to make it, so I hope I can make it in time.

Been working on the more behind-the-scenes stuff, trying to ensure that the proper mechanics of the game play out before actually moving forward to what the game looks like. Here are some of the weapons in the database and a number of the scripts that will be at work. Power Master 1 MV and Power Master 2 will both run on the same engine, so I'm trying to develop them both at the same time. They will share the same tilesets to make it easier on me, though the mechanics and database stuff will be slightly different.

I was gonna say red, but it looks like that decision was made for me :) I'm a mod now.
