Greetings from Taiwan! (A "Tales of" LMBS fan!)

[kiyasu 13]

I am Kiyasu Oka and my home page is at www.kiyasugreen.com. I am a Taiwanese known as an illustrator, designer, and entrepreneur; one of my recent career focus includes being the proofreader and editor for video games. [EDIT: This post is last updated on November 12th, 2021.]

I have two newly released Steam games during the past three months, and am currently working on a sci-fi RPG with a friend that is scheduled for release sometime next year.

The "solo" game project I am currently working on is an LMBS-RPG (Linear Motion Battle System Role-Playing Game). LMBS is the battle system used in many Tales of games. My game staff includes my friends Barry Leitch, Tim Haywood, and Lani Minella. My favorite Tales of games are Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (PS2), Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2), and Tales of Eternia (PSX). I also like Tales of Rebirth (PS2) and Tales of Phantasia (PSX).

I am a part of what I call the "VX Ace club." This is a term I started saying in referring to anyone who is firm to sticking to VX Ace forever. I do own the full licenses for MV and MZ as "just in case" purchases but basically almost never used them. I will never jump to MV or MZ. I like the lightness of the engine and how it can already do so much beyond what I thought. It's lovely that people who don't use the latest machines can run VXA games. I own around five laptops, and one of them is a Mac OS X. I like Windows XP and I don't own a smart phone.

Lunar New Year kind of just passed, but I would like to attach my illustration greetings to this post! Happy Lunar New Year!

Hello, and welcome to the community.

 

Also a big fan of the Tales franchise. Any RPG with a 2 player function, but Tales had wonderful battle systems that mainlined some life back into the desecrated, turn based husk of the genre at the time. I remember that and Star Ocean being the games I craved playing all the time.

@Rikifive Thank you!! So glad you welcomed me!

@That One NPC Ah, Star Ocean! I really like Star Ocean: the Second Story. The battle systems of that and the Tales of games are lovely. Thank you for welcoming me too!!

@Kayzee So happy you replied!! It also makes my day when I find more VX Ace club people! ^^ Speaking of "cute," I guess I will post some of my RPG Maker community-related portraits and art works here! Maybe this thread can be like an "art thread" of some sorts, while still being a part of my introduction post at the same time!

So many colors!
