CN actually introduced me to OHR back in 7th grade (? possibly 8th grade). He came across it through a link from RPGamer, if my memory serves me correctly. Maybe CN can help me out, it was about 5 years or so ago Oookay...

Oh man, the memories. Back in elementary school, we had to do a "venture" on a subject. So, everybody picked boring topics and I thought, "Hey! Games are fun! I'll do game design!" So me and my clever little mind went off to do that. I think it was 4rd grade when I did this('9 Cool

. I searched the internet for "Game contruction engine" and up popped "The Official Hamster Reublic RPG Contruction Engine." "Ho Ho!" I laughed out loud, "What a strange name!" So I downloaded it. Read through the HOWTO about 3 times. I didn't even know about the message boards back then, probably for the best, because I was a hyper typer (heh...rhymes) back then. Anywho, I made my first game, "Zelda" that was the title. It was utterly awful, as you could expect. But I showed it off during our little "showcase" thingy at the end of school. Despite it's awfulness, a little kid started to play it and was amazed. "You made this?!" He asked. "Yep" I responded. I was quite proud. It was then that I decided that Game Design was perhaps not that bad of a career to persue. So here I am now, making RPG's on the OHRRPGCE and making sidescrollers in Flash.

Beautiful story, isn't it?

My story's a bit interesting. Way back when dinosaurs ruled the e... oh wait, not that far. When I was in high school, one of the school art club members wanted me to do the illustrations for a comic book. Of course, I signed on, and proceeded to whip out a seven issue comic called "Legend of Cale". It was a complete disaster, so he unwittingly gave me the rights to everything IN the comic. We even had a document to prove it. Money exchanged hands, and the rest is history. A year later, he was saying something about a game creation engine his brother had found, the OHRRPGCE. Naturally he said I should make a game with it, and I produced LoC1, loosely based on the comic book I had written a year ago.

Then I got nostalgic and decided to make a final fantasy game (FFR). It was a complete disaster, and I never released it (until now). I decided to take a break from the OHR for a while, check out a fighting game system called MUGEN, but LoC kept calling to me. I picked up the LoC story and put out a sequal. Then in 2001, I was sitting around and thought "hey, what if I combined the chars from both games in a massive cross-over fanfic! LoL!". So Timestream Saga came out. Took a year. But it gave me the experience needed to begin work on FFH. I had found the old copy of FFR, and said something along the lines of "I'm gonna make yew another brother! Har!".

One more year later, and it's the top downloaded game on these boards. And there's no review for it. Oh well, time to work on SEclipse and TSSE.

Sadly, I've worked on over 25 million games and have yet to release a good one.

I believe I've already sufficiently answered this for the OHR Monthly interview.

I found the OHRRPGCE on the Game Developers search engine on August 3rd 1999 around 4 PM. It was a very hot day, and I recently decided I truely wanted to make games for a living (There were many things I was interested in at the time).

Wow, you can pinpoint it down to the exact day and general time?!

I found the ohr waay back, on a dragonball z fan site. I downloaded attack of the saians (maybe ferocity, it is on the gamelist I think). at the time I was 9 years old and LOVED the game, and it alone convinced me to get ohr. Funny.

Attack of the Saiyans? Yeah, that's actually the game that the art club member and his brother found that got them to get ME interested in OHR. Small world, eh?

My first OHR game was one of the Atomic Knights games (I don't remember which). I downloaded it off of AOL's game downloads list, read the description (which said it was made with the OHR), and searched for that on Yahoo. Lo and behold, there was the OHR. I didn't actually start becoming active in the community for another year and a half or so. What's kind of pathetic is I still haven't released a game Oookay...

(unless you count Magnus 4)
