Hello hbgames crowd! I am arcthemonkey. I am not new here. Not even remotely. I joined this forum when it was rmxp.org in early 2006, and I was one of the first to come from the old rmxp.net community. I was a moderator for The Other Hand subforums nearly the entire time I was here (2-3 years? I don't even remember), and finally became a Global Moderator, which was bizarre because I'm fairly certain that none of the administrators of the forum have ever liked me even a little (I think it was because I didn't moderate things enough and I argued with people ^_^). I hope they don't remember me. As for everyone else who was around back then (I still see a few familiar faces!!!), hello! How have you been?!
I have been working with RPG Maker since RPG Maker 95, and am proficient with every version up to VX (which I haven't used much). I love making RPGs. They are my hobby and my passion. Unfortunately, I am probably known for being very ambitious, but for ultimately producing pretty much nothing. I don't think I'm a lazy person, I simply have a terrible attention deficit, and if I don't have grades or money riding on me finishing things, it often doesn't get done. This is a personal failing.
I am a 26-year-old white guy from Oregon, currently living in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, Japan teaching english to 14-year-old Japanese girls who worship and adore me. I love video games, and wanted to be a game designer for many years before finally deciding to get a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and pursue med school. Somehow I ended up in Japan.
That's really the answer to the where I've been. I don't think I meant to stop posting forever. 2009 and 2010 were both insane years for me, with huge changes taking place in my life. I no longer had time for even pretending to make games, much less hyping them on forums. But I recently started playing with Enterbrain's IG Maker, and more importantly, Torque 2D, and I started working on a game that is not at all ambitious. It's a small and simple and hopefully fun little retro-style shooter. Working on this reminded me of my old friends and enemies back at rmxp.org, and here I am. Nostalgic as hell, but happy to see the community still kicking.
I'm not even sure how much I'm going to post. I became really insecure with this community in the end back in the day. Call it paranoia brought on by depression, or whatever you want. But I realized I missed it, so here I am!
So to the people who remember, say hello, yeah? And to the people who have no idea who the hell I am - Nice to meet you!
よろしく!

I never really understood why Despain was here in the first place! I take it this place is now go for project threads on non-rpg maker games? ^_^
