Destiny.
A word with a lot of meaning behind it. To be guided into your path, rather than deciding it for yourself. It is one of Square Enix's most dealt with issues.
But, in my own world, I like to think I am the creator of my own path. The choices I made are what brought me here, rather than being guided by some force unknown to me.
Or was it?
I was watching Kuroshitsuji just recently. I finished it tonight. As I did, somethings clearly rang home to me- or rather, a sense of deja vu.
If it weren't for the angels, the backstory of Kuroshitsuji- the demons, the setting, the way the demon is portrayed, could have very well been a story from Atrum Somnium Terra.
I'm not joking, here. I never touched on it much because of the story centering around the Seven rather than other demons, but it is very possible to sell your soul. In fact, souls are mentioned in AST- it is the Seven's job to regulate them.
Plus, Terra maybe a modern world, but what time is Atrum set in? The Steampunk era, aka Victorian.
(how did I point this out, you wonder...I found an old picture of Blank. Guess who he looks like. Just go ahead and guess.)
It's happened before with FF8. My original fangame draft had the same plot twist as FF7- and the first time I played 13 years ago, I named Squall Zac. ZAC.
But meh. Dismiss my blathering. I've started a 'bridge' comic, Fangs, which is set after the second arc of Vivian and Visus's stories, while Blank is nursing the two back to health with the help of the two Lex's, Egaile and Zacharya (new character, will explain later).
After coming home from work, he and brunette Lex have a conversation as to how exactly Lex became a werewolf. Lex only agrees to tell Blank on the condition that he tell his own story.
If you've read this post in its entirity, you can probably guess what Blank's job is while he is in Atrum. Teehee.

So, I've been working diligently on Cosplay Crisis but I have occasionally been working on a project codenamed 'Lucidity' for now. I'm not announcing any dates, I'm not confirming ANYTHING- this project has just as much likelyhood to be dropped as any other side-project I've started away from CC (excluding DS:R of course, but including DS:RR)
Right now the cast list is:
Lex Crawford, 16, Terran
Blank, 19, Atrumian
Alice, ???, Unknown
I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Melody for it and I'll be adding more features as I progress. Right now I have a few different sprites done but nothing like walks. :c I've only started Lex's.
This is an ATRUM SOMNIUM TERRA~DARK DREAM EARTH game, in case you can't tell. There's heaps of information on it in the sidebar.
There are several stories/games I would like to tell that tie into AST, which are(all are codenames):
-Lucidity(Terran Lex's Beginning)
-Night Howl (Blank's Beginning)
-Rising Dusk(Atrumian Lex's and Vivian and Visus's beginnings)
-Moonlit Hearts(Blank, Lex, Lex, Vivian and Visus's meeting)
-Fangs (would would, ideally, be a totally seperate OVA that would come with Moonlit Hearts, shedding more light onto Atrumian Lex)
-Darkseed
-Darkseed: Revival Redux (Revival already being released in its shitty state)
-Darkseed: Awakening
-Catastrophe (Introduction of Kaira and Harrison, probably more characters)
-Convergence (The final battle!)
These stories all have their seperate meanings and plots but everything eventually ties together to create the Convergence (once known as Inversion). The Convergence is a result of the onset of the apocalypse, which is what Catastrophe is about. Once all key characters are established, they will come together in a final game to either save Terra...or destroy it.
I'm never going to get all these games/stories/ideas done, so I might make basic plots of all of them and just put them together. Once I end up dropping my ideas, I'll post the stories here.

Hello everyone, just updating. Been busy with real-life issues and things, musical and whatnot. Still managing to fit in CC work though, ha ha.
Anyway, some Vivian art to the left. I'll be updating the CSS of this site soon, just recently messed with CC's.
Anyway, if anyone has any questions, comments or blah blah related to my game-making, artwork, etc, not something personal, please email sorceressstudios@hotmail.com, the 'official' email for my gamedev work. I can have one if I want dammit, my normal account gets enough as it is.
I'll definitely be doing more work on this site soon, and I might try and keep it restricted to game work rather than personal crapola.
Till next time!
