Glad to see your game is coming together Ben! You'll have to hit me up whenever the running demo is ready and I'll attempt to give it a try!
I only say attempt because my personal PC is crap and may not be able to run it.. Ugh.. lol
Hawkeye Initiative: Am I shamed yet?

Damn you, RPGMAKER VX ACE & Dragon’s Dogma! Where did my time go? The bad news is all of you think I’m dead. The good news is I might actually have a working demo for my rpg soon. It will include the first two or three boss fights as well as the hospital, theatre, and police department as interactive locations.
As a warning here is what to expect
1. Plays like a classic “JRPG” complete with a first person turn based Dragon Warrior battle-system.
2. Read everything because the story is pretty dense. If you speed through the text windows you’ll miss a lot. However, if you can still enjoy playing the game without knowing the whole convoluted plot nonsense good for you!
3. Be warned this game delves into some pretty dark & sexual territory sometimes. Y’know, one of the benefits of not having to answer to a big publisher like EA or Activision. Aka no, I did not even try to create a game that caters to everyone all at once.
4. If you don’t like my attempt at an rpg, it’s cool! This is a decidedly old school game and I understand why some people might be offended by some of its’ content.
"This is supposed to "shame me" over how I draw women in provacative (promiscous) poses. Instead it makes me wonder if I'm a closet bi-sexual! Oh Hawkie, you so fine you so fine you blow my mind,hey Hawkie!"
Beyond that I’ve been reading this whole retarded “Hawkeye initiative nonsense”. I’m sorry if I offended some of you if you happen to be on the side applauding the Hawkeye initiative but before you rage at me and call me a horny basement dwelling loser, let me at least make my point more clear.
"Don't like this?"
"Try this!"
Any true fan of comics knows there’s a pretty wide plethora of different kinds of comics & graphic novelas to choose from. Aka, if you don’t like seeing Psylocke’s ass & boobs hang out while her spine is contorted like a pretzel you could always delve into Sandman, Books of magic, The Invisibles, Hell-bringer, or Preacher. DC’s Vertigo line constantly had excellent material and to my knowledge most of the cover art for my favorite Vertigo books was not over-sexualized in any way. The stories under such names were also much more mature and layered than the typical superhero drama nonsense. (Not that I “dislike” super hero drama nonsense mind you!)
I’d also highly recommend Astro City, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Scott Pilgrim, and almost anything from Dark-horse. You will actually learn there’s a lot more to comic books & graphic novels than the mainstream Marvel & DC universes. (Imagine that!)
I’m all for “comics growing up” to a point. (But as you can see, many comics already have “grown up” in the first place.) But as a heterosexual male I’m also going to admit with not a single ounce of shame I sometimes like the sexy & unrealistic absurdity found in mainstream comics! I think there’s a place for it and the present crusade to shame all comic artists into drawing “PC material” is utter bollocks. I get the feeling most of the people doing this are not even “real fans”. These are the type of people that have watched The Avengers & Ironman 3 and believe that somehow makes them all knowing authorities on the comic books these films are based on. Go ahead, ask one of these “liberal feminists” who Vision is or what the Age Of Apocalypse story arch was all about in X-men. Chances are they’ll give you puzzled looks. Maybe two or three people in that room of 50 will actually be able to talk to you about the comic book continuity as opposed to just what happens in the movies.
My challenge to these women is the same challenge I’d give to women complaining about videogames and those edicts are as follows.
1. Educate yourself.
2. Empower yourself with knowledge on the subject at hand. By knowledge I mean facts, not absurdist left wing propaganda siphoned through a radical feminist lens!
3. Create a “good game” or “good comic” that expresses your ideals without necessarily cramming it down people’s throats.
4. Know that these fields are mostly “male dominated” because as a whole more males want to make games and draw comics than females do. No, it’s not a patriarchal conspiracy to keep you down. It’s just certain jobs attract more of one gender than the other. For example, there are men hair stylists but not nearly as many women hair stylists.
5. Know you will probably face some amount of “true sexism” in the work place but chances are your male cohorts will be going through their own kinds of personal hell too. However, if said sexism gets out of line you should report it. What crosses the line? If your boss or one of your co-workers constantly gropes your ass and asks you for sex (And you don’t like him in that way) you really should get that douche bag fired! However, if you hear a dirty or offensive joke from your male co-workers that isn’t even about you or anyone you know in particular, it’s harmless and you should let it slide without trying to get them fired for it. Female co-workers tell dirty jokes too so on such occasions you should live and let live. Ask yourself how you would feel getting fired in this bad economy because of a joke shared between you and one of your besties. Do not do onto others as you would not want done onto yourself!
6. Work hard and you WILL get respect!
7. When tempted to whine about some injustice on your vlog come up with a viable solution for said injustice instead.
8. Learn the differences between “sexy” and “sexism”.
9. See the line between “fantasy” and “reality”. Learn to appreciate both for how they’re different from each other!
10. Do not infiltrate comic cons & game cons just to harshly criticize all the people who attend the events. It makes you like a holier than thou pompous asshole. If you do not like anything at these events then ask yourself “Why am I even fucking here in the first place?” Also, if you have nothing positive to “contribute”, GTFO!
11. Some comic book heroines/anti heroines really are “sexual” individuals. There’s a reason Cat-woman wears Skintight leather, that’s just who she is. Me-ow!
12. Hard as it is to believe, there are women who do like sexualized images of other women. As such when you get up on your podium to preach, realize you are NOT speaking of behalf of ALL women!
"I know at least 3 female friends who "love" Lady Death. Bite me!"
(With certain exceptions to what I've said withstanding.)
