Help Us Save The World

Sat May 4, 2013, 10:40 AM


Perpetuality is a game I help create where your ultimate goal as a player is to make the entire world run on renewable energy resources. In a fun game-like setting, we want to educate people about the many factors involved in this issue and help the world find crowdsourced solutions.

It was founded during the NASA Space Apps Challenge where we won the first national place. But it's early stage yet! We want to keep developing it and work towards our goals of making the world better. So please support us in the international competition! I'd like to ask you to vote for us for the People's Choice Award which is very easy, it only takes a tweet :)

Who's up for a round of Sburb?

I did not design these, I simply cut them out like the smooth person I am.
Hence why I only put it in a journal.
Cause theft is bad.
"Yo."

Little contest

Journal Entry: Thu May 9, 2013, 12:44 PM
Word's on the street there is a game coming. But it's not just another game - a pretty big one. It's safe to presume it's gonna be awsome - it gotta be, knowin' lots of money has been put into it.
Besides that, not much is known. Is it going to be first person shooter? An action game, with lots of ass whoopin'? Nobody can tell for sure. There is ONE thing, however, that we know about the protagonist. It's a female.


You go from there. The task is quite simple: describe what you think that game would be. Be as vague or as detailed as you like - just make sure the concept is appealing and that you would play such a game if it was out there.
You CAN draw your entry but it's not necessary. It's meant to be a small thing (for now), so words will be just enough.

To sum up:

Task:
Write (or draw) about a game with a female protagonist. Much preffered not objectified, strong characters. Awesomeness is mandatory.
Prizes:
Winner(s) get a free commission from me. The amount of winners is unlimited - I'll choose them as I see fit.
Feature goes without saying.
Deadline:
1st of June, any time zone.
How to submit entry:
Simply put it in a comment below. Write "ENTRY" in capital letters at the beginning so I know it's related. You may also link to your entry.
You may submit as many entries as you like, however - you may claim only one reward.
Important: entry must be your original idea and your own work.

Inspiration for this contest was a fact that there are very few games with female protagonist, much less should they be NOT sexualized. Off the top of my head I can list Tomb Raider (in which Lara got full pants only recently), Mirror's Edge and Bayonetta - which is about latex-clad lady kickin' ass. So much for not objectifying. Like, come on! Gimme ONE female badass with no boob window. As far as mmorpg go... But we're getting off track here. What I want is a game with a strong female protagonist who needn't shake her ass and tits to be awesome. I know you have it in you. Go!

Discussion is much encouraged, so if you have a thought to share on the subject, suit yourself.



To Gamers: Tell me your favorites!

Hi deviants! :wave:


This probably may sound random but I would like your help again. 
I don't know how many of you are "gamers" (everyone's standards differ), but if you consider yourself as one, please tell me by leaving a comment on this journal about following information:

* Your nationality
* Your age range (If you don't want to say it, it's fine.)
* Your favorite game title(s) - if possible, the name of the game developer. 
* Your favorite game console. 

and most importantly, 

* Popular game title in your country/place where you are living

I'm curious what is the hot trend right now in the world at this time. 

Furthermore, if it's not too much, I would like to know what you think about the game industry nowadays. 
What are you expecting from them? Also, what is it that you're not happy about it? 

Thanks!

So, Hapstance Films has released its latest video project!  It was quite a busy few weeks preparing for it with costumes!  We might put the Elizabeth cosplay up for sale soon (size small 25 inch waist), and you'll be sure to hear about it from me! =)

So here it is!



Also don't forget that Hapstance is taking limitations from fans!  You can learn more about that from this video if you haven't seen it yet. ;)



Want to help Hapstance Films continue?  It is super easy!  Share the videos, like journals about it or the videos, or the easiest way ever to support Hapstance?,  just watch the videos. ;)

Enjoy!

So, I'm making a Hetalia horror game with RPG Maker VX Ace.

However, I need a bit of help.

You all know what busts are, correct? Well, I need people to help me in drawing the busts of some of the characters. These will be the images shown when the character is speaking (similar to Japanese RPG games) and will need a variety of emotions...

Emotions needed:

  • Happy

  • Neutral

  • Sad

  • Embarrassed

  • Angry

  • Scared

  • Sweat-dropping/exasperated/shocked

Any other emotions that you feel like doing would be welcomed and accepted! 


::UPDATE::
The dimensions of the busts should be no taller (height) than 400 pixels, and no longer (width) than 250 pixels.

The preferred dimensions would be 350 pixels by 200 pixels, but remember to keep the character's actual height in mind. If you know your character is naturally short (say Japan or Sealand) don't make them 400 pixels tall.

The busts will need to be in full color, with the picture being of the upper torso. There should be no need to show anything below the waist, but the image should be at least down to the middle of the chest. Also, the backgrounds should be transparent. If you are unaware of how to do that, just have it be a solid color so that I may make them transparent myself.

If they could be done by July, that would be fantastic.


If you want to do a bust for one - or more - of the characters listed below, leave a comment below with the character you want to do!

Characters that have been taken will be crossed out with the deviant's name put next to it~

Ok so we all know Donkey Kong Country Returns is being ported to the 3Ds and that's great but after seeing the new trailer I noticed something. in the Wii game you were given 4 hit points now you have 6, also they added new items like the green balloon which picks you up if you fall, similar to Beat from the Megaman series, an item called crash guard which gives you an extra hit on mine cart and rocket stages, a portable DK barrel so if you lose Diddy you can have him back right away,  also the banana juice is blue now. now do these make it easier I don't know but I know they probably put these items in the game because people claimed it was cheap and unfair and with these items it makes the game more fair maybe. I honestly had no problems with the Wii version, it was hard but DK games usually are, anyway these new items should be very helpful especially the Mine cart one, and I don't see why you wouldn't want them.

So if you haven't notice it seems Mewtwo is becoming popular again all because of this new version of him. all this talk Mewthree and and this new movie coming with him in it gets me thinking he'll be back in Smash in some way weather it be as a playable character or something you summon. I think this because the same thing happen with Lucario, and a lot of people are hoping for Zoroark but I think they'll probably skip Gen 5 like they did with Melee then again Melee came before gen 3. honestly I think Genescet or Mewtwo would be the best legendary reps for the Pokemon. but what do think?
