                                     "Oh yeaaaaaaah!"

Oh,hello misogyny accusation. You always stay around like an unwanted house guest!

It’s done guys! My rpg that is. Sorry I haven’t been around much but making a game is hard work! Anyway, already got into my first tussle with a “concerned poster” accusing me of misogyny. Not for anything in the game mind you, but for some of my old concept art. Okay, I’ll come clean. Those pictures of Kara, Deidre, and ANGI are pretty shameless. I’d go so far as to call them sexualized and cheesy in their gratuity. I even understand why not everyone would like my art style. Does that mean I HATE women though? Misogyny has to be the most misused word in the world. I’d understand being called a misogynist if I had a history of raping or beating on women. I could also understand it if I was a female-only serial killer like Jack The Ripper. But being a misogynist for drawing sexualized depictions women? Isn’t that a bit extreme? It’s almost like it’s a term thrown at men to punish them for expressing heterosexual tendencies! I’m sorry for following my biology, ya’ll. So what do you think? Should I go to the vet and get my balls chopped off?

I’m curious, is a female a misandrist whenever she creates bishonen yaoi fan-fiction and misrepresents gay males? Is a female a misandrist whenever she reads Twilight or 50 Shades Of Grey and gets hot and bothered by unrealistic portrayals of men? Yeah, there is a flip side to all this bullshit!

But being that Hideo Kojima was called a misogynist recently for his  unveiling of Quiet, perhaps I should be honored! Anyway, you can download the game here. Happy fun time awaits!

Recent games!


"Cammy's thong? Misogyny!"

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max

Got this little gem for my psp. Why? Mainly because of all the modes and the newcomer characters such as Eagle and Maki! It’s shipping to me from Cali so I doubt it’s going to arrive very soon. lol.

"Jill's ass,misogynnnnnny!"

Resident Evil: Revelations

I will say Revelations captures more of the atmosphere of the original RE games. The Queen Zenobia is pretty much Arklay mansion on the water! There’s some back tracking and the enemies are better at surprising you. Ammo is also more scarce. I was surprised the storyline was actually pretty good too.

My biggest gripe? The game lost some luster after I beat it the first time on normal. I tried moving on to the next difficulty and totally got my ass whooped. Seriously, playing this game on hard doesn’t seem “fun” at all. This is where “unlimited ammo” would have been helpful but to my knowledge there is no unlimited ammo attribute to unlock in this game. (Unless you beat it on aforementioned “hell difficulty” but I’ve already thrown in the towel. lol.) Another problem with the harder difficulty is that all it does is throw more enemies at you which have more health. Aka, it doesn’t make the experience more scary, it just makes it more frustrating.

Raid mode is a lot of fun but my biggest gripe is “leveling up” becomes a monotonous grind. If you were allowed to level up quicker, this mode would be perfect. As it stands it’s an improvement over mercenaries. (At least for me) Unlike mercenaries, raid-mode is about navigating an area until you make it to the check point. Between areas are doors to unlock and you can only get keys by slaying certain monsters. It’s not so much about how many enemies you kill as much as it is about how proficiently you make it through a level.

So, what have you all been doing?

awesome, man!!!!  I'm downloading now!  I'm so happy you finished your game! 

I'm doing okay here, working on a lot of music.  Hope all is well there.

It feels great just to have this project done,Matt. Glad you're still working on your music! You shouldn't let such a gift go to waste!

Good to have you back! I look forward to playing your game!

BrokenH

Thanks,Blake! Feels liberating to have seen it through to its' conclusion!

Blake Turner Staff Writer

10/11/2013 at 03:10 PM

Yeah! Playing it now. Third screen and you're using my music... yay!

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 05:41 PM

You're in the credits too,bra! Won't be able to read em until you beat it though. lol.

Blake Turner Staff Writer

10/11/2013 at 06:25 PM

Yeah just got out of the train. Shall play more tomorrow! Sucks that my save file from the demo doesn't carry over though. Seriously digging it though. Where did you get the other non-licensed music?

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 06:43 PM

From all over,man. lol. Actually, most of the other music is licensed but my game is free so it's not as if I'm trying to make a profit. The other musicians are still listed in the credits though! Everyone from Disturbed to Akira Yamaoka. lol. If you've played Shadowhearts,Parasite Eve,Persona 3,Deadly Premonition,Silent hill, and Xeno-saga you'll experience deja vu throughout the game. Tongue Out

I wanted to get a track or two from daftman too but I think conflicting schedules (and my failure to check my inbox here) did in that possibility. (At least for this game)

Blake Turner Staff Writer

10/12/2013 at 04:02 AM

I thought one of the songs was from persona...

 Also, if you want to release it for money, I'll gladly send you more tracks. The only reason I didn't was because you were never online :p

BrokenH

10/12/2013 at 04:23 PM

I was anti-social wasn't I,Blake? Frown I'd love more custom tracks but I sort of wonder if anyone would buy an rpg made in rpgmaker. At one point I thought about doing a kick-starter with promises of "revamped graphics" and "a more intriguing combat system" but then I remembered how much I suck with money. lol.

However, I might go back and release a "Gutterdelve +" edition in the future. Might give me the excuse to include more areas and put in more music from you and daftman.

 

Blake Turner Staff Writer

10/12/2013 at 06:24 PM

Yeah man! And it would be a great way to improve your skills as well! I need to play more of your game though... And i will. Really digging it man!

BrokenH

10/12/2013 at 06:43 PM

It gets darker as it goes on. Some real twisted shit happens. I do admit I should have kept more in touch with people during the project. I just felt a lot of stress to finish the game so I could once again take care of other things I had been neglecting. (My pc is also old so there was the creeping phobia it could have fizzled out, causing me to lose everything if Gutterdelve took too long to get out there. lol.)

I was wondering were you went to Shirley. :D

Where is this game so that I may play it?

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 03:09 PM

I linked the game to the blog. Once you go to RMN you can simply hit the "download now" button in the right corner,Peter. lol. My only regrets are not everyone got a shout out in the game itself. I actually wanted to write funny epitaphs for all my friends from pixlbit and RMN within the graveyard but sadly space was limited.

Cool beans dude!  I'm so glad to hear you finished your game.  That's awesome!  Congrats.  Any plans for another?

I also agree that misogyny is thrown around way too much these days.  Inigo is right.  It doesn't mean what a lot of people think it means.  Your art is awesome!

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 05:47 PM

I've seen many artistic horrors on the internet and I can testify my "sexy fan service" is mild sauce compared to some of the guro/loli/monster variety hentai out there. lol.

Misogyny DOES exist but you're right Ceva,it's thrown around for too many things. I think it's used to immediately shut a person down and discredit them in an argument. Dirty mud-slinging if you ask me.

Welcome back, man.  I was wondering where you were.  It did cross my mind you're busy with your game. 

BTW, IMO, I think "liberal" is the most misused word in the world.  As of late, there's nothing liberal about some of those commy bastards. Laughing 

I have Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max.  It's a good game.  

I'm still playing SMT4.  Hopefully, I can finish it this weekend and start on something new.  It's time to put this game behind me. 

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 05:50 PM

Sorry,James! I really wanted to get my ass back sooner but apparently making a game is hard work. lol. I definitely bit off a lot, almost more than I could chew!

 It really is a shame about liberalism. I used to proudly claim to be liberal but in lieu of the new wave of "stupid marxist liberalism" I've stepped away and simply indentify myself as an independent now.

I'll read your blog on SMT 4. Be interesting to know your impressions on it.

jgusw

10/11/2013 at 06:15 PM

Independent is the way to go.  I'm more of a libertartian, myself. Cool

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 06:25 PM

I'm indecisive. I see so much shit on every side I don't know who to throw my lot in with. lol. However, I've gotten better at using my umbrella to block incoming shit storms. Tongue Out

Congrats on finishing your game!  If I had the means and time, I'd play it.

If you have time, please go read my blog!

I'll get to it,Cary!

Hey congrats. I wasn't able to get the demo to download so I'm looking forward to seeing the final cut. I admire your work ethic,lol. Alpha 3 rules, although I was not aware of this version. Maybe cause I don't have a psp. I'm still working with the PS1 version. Cheers, to equality of the sexes! Uhm...yeah 6000 years of human culture (give or take) and we still can't seem to find a little bit of understanding there, go figure. Well, for now I will blame it on religion and reality TV.

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 09:12 PM

I just wish we could get along without gender politics,Gemini. Honestly this political correctness movement trying to muscle its way into geek culture just makes me feel like an outcast again. Suddenly if you draw sexy depictions of females you're a misogynist or if you write a female character imperfectly you're supporting the patriarchy illumanati rape culture. I'm fed up with all of it,really.

Gloom aside, I'm excited about Alpha 3 Max! In college SF Alpha 3 was my favorite fighter of all time. Still, it had stiff competition from Last Blade,Tekken 2, and the KOF series.

As for my game,it's good for the people who waited! Now you get everything in one convenient package!

Congrats on finishing your game. I downloaded it and am gonna play it soon. I was gonna ask how you liked STFA 3 on PSP, but then read that you haven't gotten it yet lol. I'm curious to know how it controls on PSP. That's probably my favorite out of all the STF games. SO many characters!

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 10:20 PM

Most reviews say playing SF Alpha 3 on the psp merely takes a few moments to get accustomed to. Of course everyone agrees it would be much better with an arcade stick. lol. Regardless,most reviews led me to believe it was a damn good port and added a lot of extras as well. Granted, I already have the Alpha Anthology for the PS2 but I really needed a game that's easy to jump in and out of on the go!

Glad you were able to download my game! Tell me what you think of it after beating it and when you have a moment to spare!

I really want to watch Princess Bride again, if only for Inigo's greatest line "I want my father back you son of a bitch."

That is awesome that you finished your game.  I would be really nice if I did not have massive pile of RPGs to work my way through.  

I do really wish that people would learn the proper definition of misogyny.  I know that objectification can be a part of it, but there is a lot of definition still missing.

BrokenH

10/11/2013 at 11:34 PM

I agree. I think sexism,objectification,and misogyny are sometimes related. However, they are not always exclusive to each other nor do they mean the same thing.

I know when I draw sexy female characters I don't twirl my mustache and wish for the downfall of all women. I do it just because it's what I like and what I'm aroused by.

I see a lot of female fan artists draw sexually explicit pairings of bishonen characters like Cloud and Dante yet for some reason that's "okay". I find it perplexing how that double standard exists. Aka, females are allowed to get raunchy with their fantasies and noone will say anything yet if a guy does the same, he's a misogynist and a sexist.

I notice lines have been drawn between people in the geek community where there used to be none. I hate seeing us fight over gender politics and petty semantics but "game journalism" knows it can exploit our argumentative natures to build traffic and get hits.

Sorry,didn't mean to ramble. lol. As for my rpg, rest assured it's not as long as a mainstream one. It has a system that makes leveling up quickly rather easy. I did that for people who simply do not have the idle time to grind away for hours on end.

VX Ace "should" be compatible with windows 7. If you have any problems let me knoe though,Knight!

I'm still bummed you didn't get my song Frown But I'm going to set up a Sound Cloud account later this year and you can hear it then, I guess. Good job on finishing though. I assume this is just the Windows version?

BrokenH

10/12/2013 at 11:40 AM

It's okay,daft. At some point I'll probably make a second game. However, I'm going to give myself time to rest. lol. Sadly, this is the windows version. (At least I think?) I don't know if I have the means to make a mac version for the time being.

You obsess way too much over misogyny, objectification, and feminism. Just learn to ignore the haters.

Now, off to download that game!

BrokenH

10/12/2013 at 11:45 AM

I try Tami,I try. But they seem to love coming after me. lol. Regardless, getting the usual "This is misogyny" post didn't take away from the joy of me finishing my rpg.

I will warn there's one part in the game that's kind of "icky". Let's just say Deidre's past is "troubled". However, once you get passed that nothing else is quite so disturbing on the same level.

By the way,you got a shout out! Keep your eyes open! (Especially in the cottage near the graveyard)

10/12/2013 at 05:31 PM

Nice you finished your game. Don't trust my word, but i'll see if I can play it.

Now, just for curiosity (I swear I won't thrown a tantrum) who made the misogyny accusation?

BrokenH

10/12/2013 at 06:04 PM

Someone from RMN (RPGMaker network). Her name is Sorceress Krysty I believe. On her behalf,she kind of took back the misogyny accusation. But she still believes the kind of art I do contributes to a culture that opresses women. I'd be more inclined to agree if she labeled my work as sexual exploitation or objectfication. I admit I do put out a lot of fan-service,Alejandro! However,it's not because I hate women. (And I don't quite understand even when the objectfication argument is applied to fictional characters in the first place.)

 It's just weird feminists believe everything men do is engineered to attack them somehow when in reality it's more like "I like women's titties and asses! Imma gonna draw me some titties and asses!". Sure,that may not be the best thought process to have but it is a deeply rooted biological one and it's not a gut impulse to cause harm to others.

 As for the game, it's not daunting! The card finder system in it makes leveling up characters rather painless. I understand not everyone is chill with grinding for hours on end. lol.

 At least Krys kept fair in the debate. Aka,she didn't have hundreds of her "online buddies" come in to lynch me & give me shit review scores. I can respect her for that!

I downloaded your game.

I really need to sit down and work with RPG Maker a little more myself. Time and the games I already have simply haven't allowed me to really devote time to making my own game, though, especially when I work long hours and I'm enjoying the abundance of the kinds of games that I enjoy that we seem to be getting lately. I haven't seen so many great Japanese RPGs in a year since the PS2 days.

BrokenH

Time is always so damned uncompromising,Andrew. lol. Luckily,my rpg is pretty short. I put shortcuts in place for people that actually have lives. Wink

Dude, it's gotten worse. I got 4 people on my game page debating "moral superiority" with me right now. I love having my game done but damn, people can be thick sometimes. I guess some peeps have something to prove! (And go about it all wrong)

Yes! I shall try this game now!

LOve Street Fighter alpha 3 MAX, if only because my Ingrid is in there.

I like RE:R as well but found it odd that the camera suffers from Tomb Radier booty syndrome where it seems to align with Jills booty than over the shoulder. At least that's what I got from the demo.
