From: Dylan Loh
About: The real way to generate traffic
In the next 5 minutes, I'm gonna show you how my candy store (seen above) will generate floods of traffic for you and make you commissions as soon as 24 hours from now.
But before I begin, I've a admission to make…
I'm gonna do it all for free.
You will not be asked for your money.
There is nothing to buy, not on this page, the next page or the last page.
"Why?", you ask.
Because I'm sick of how 'Internet Marketing' is right now and I've decided to shake things up.
And I've very good reasons to feel that way.
3 reasons in fact.
1) 'New' make money online products are launched on a (almost) daily basis. Most of these aren't even mediocre, its downright bad! It's giving IM a bad name.
2) Some of the tactics marketers are engaging in these days are not only unethical – its downright illegal.
Selling & trading subscribers contacts like pieces of meat? (check!) Faking testimonials? (check!) Non-existent after sales support? (check!) I've seen it all and I had enough.
3) Finally, I'm sick of being held hostage to promote rubbish. "Hey Dylan, you better push my (crap) product otherwise you will not get my support for your next launch!"
I need to regain control of my business.
My marketing experience spans over 8 years and several Clickbank #1 launches…yet all this while, I never felt fully in control because of the aggressive 'you better promote me or else…' nature of doing business.
(Go ahead Google 'Dylan Loh', I'm a real person!)
For those reasons above I do not want to be part of the 'inner circle' anymore. I'm leaving it for good.
I'm sticking my finger to those clowns.
Lemme share a quick personal story – a financial tragedy – that forced me to rethink how I do business online.
See that picture of my retail shop right at the very top? That's my candy store. It was located in a shopping mall called 'Iluma' along the streets of Singapore's main retail districts.
It didn't last very long though…
And I bled over $120,000 in that venture.
It was an expensive lesson and I learnt a whole lot from that experience.
But failing is never fun.
Simply put I failed because I didn't research my market at all.
I didn't find out more about the traffic, I didn't survey my prospects, I didn't even find out what sorta candies people around the area liked!
I basically just set the thing up, hired a few people to run the store and assumed people would buy whatever I put up.
In short, I failed to find out what my audience wanted and I failed to deliver what they wanted.
Fast forward a few months later when the whole candy thing was done and dusted…
One fine Tuesday morning in August 2011, I sat down in front of my computer and did something that changed my IM business forever.
I took a long hard think on my Internet business and asked myself:
"Will my Internet business suffer the same fate as my candy business if I don't do enough?" (Yes, it could)
"Am I really delivering enough, doing enough for my subscribers and giving what they want?" (No, I wasn't)
"Is there anything I could do right at this moment to change things? (Hell yea there was!!)
Those questions CONSUMED me.
And it made me realize I urgently needed to overhaul things.
You see, I've radically changed the way I conducted my business.
I've decided to give more. And give more for free.
In fact, ever since I made the decision to change my business model back in August, I've given more quality and content within a few months then I've ever given before in the past 3 years combined!
My income has also more then doubled as a direct result of that.
Today, right on this very page, you'll be benefiting from that decision I made.
That leads us back to why you're here – you want to learn how to drive more traffic and make more money right? Good, because that's precisely what I'm about to show you.
And it all begins with a 'dirty' 5 letter word.
A word that is the main reason for my increased profits…
A word that 'gurus' hate and avoid.

Has anyone run across a pattern for a topper that is pulled through an opening and it looks like a flower when you hang it on drawer handle.? Hope this makes sense. Donna |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't have the pattern but I have one hanging on my oven door! I'll ask my MIL for the pattern, she made this one! |
That would be great Jenni. I just heard about the towel topper today and it sounds like a fun project. Donna |
I couldn't get ahold of her but this is the same as the one I have. |

I asked this before and got the answer that it's spaghnum peat moss. The spaghnum peat moss that I buy is fine stuff; I get it at Lowe's. Now when I was reading a thread describing how someone (I think it was Al) screens their peat with 1/2" screen (or was it 1/4"?), it makes no sense to me that peat would be the same thing as this peat moss that I buy. It would be pointless to screen it since it's fine material.

Are you making the 5-1-1? If so no need to screen peatmosss. No need to ever screen peat. I get he 3 cu ft bale from home depot. |

I don't really know which mixture I'm making yet. Ha. I feel like I'm becoming more and more confused in some ways. I originally thought that I should put my hackberry trees and Amorpha fruticosa in the 5-1-1 mix, but I also think they should go in the gritty mix. Oh my, I'm wondering if I'll learn all of this stuff. I will I will, it just might take me a year or ten. Cathy |
- Posted by TheMasterGardener1 none (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 12 at 20:22
I am sure Al can help you soon. It will not be too hard. When it comes to plants that will be in a container for more then a year Al's 5-1-1 or the gritty is a must. |
Cath - I don't really screen it, I push it through a 1/2 or 3/8" screen to break up the large clumps & to remove what few large sticks sneak into the bale. Al |

Ooh, now I get it, Al. :) |

Lisburn boxer Brian Magee has lost his world super-middleweight title in Saturday night's big clash with Dane Mikkel Kessler.
The bout was won by Kessler after a third round stoppage, following some brutal body shots that just proved too much for Magee.
Kessler knocked the wind out of his opponent's sails in the second round with a right to the body that left Magee visibly struggling.
The 37-year-old was given a standing eight count after turning his back following another punch to the stomach later in the round. Magee's bravery was ended with yet another body shot, forcing referee Luis Pabon to call a halt to proceedings after 24 seconds of round three. Magee became the WBA's regular champion after Ward was promoted to super champion at 168lbs although he was a firm underdog after agreeing to go into Kessler's back yard.
He had told UTV that he wanted to prove he was worthy of the honour.
He was, however, well aware of the task that lay ahead - billing his opponent as "probably one of the best middleweights of the last decade".
Hard luck Brian Magee, just not Kesslers level, still what an achievement to be world champ at 37! #hero— Paddy Barnes (@paddyb_ireland) December 8, 2012

The best day ever was when I remarried last summer -- my two daughters and my husband's two sons were the entire wedding party. What followed was the anticipation of the best honeymoon ever to Bora Bora! I couldn't believe how euphoric I felt... until I hit "the glitch."
READ MORE!The best day ever was when I remarried last summer -- my two daughters and my husband's two sons were the entire wedding party. What followed was the anticipation of the best honeymoon ever to Bora Bora! I couldn't believe how euphoric I felt... until I hit "the glitch."
My husband and I had our first baby boy and named him "Ford," from my maiden name. Two years later, we had our second baby boy and named him -- wait for it -- "Owen." So, yes, today there is an Owen and Ford Wilson and an Owen and Ford Smiley.
My Little Publishing Company has obtained exclusive worldwide rights to transcripts of the interviews recently conducted by the Duchess of Cambridge in her search for adequate baby care.
These "starbaby" names had the power to launch trends and inspire namesakes, we theorized, and we'd be hearing them far into the future.
Last month we gave a Nameberry shout-out to the moms of best-named babies in the past year, so how could we not do the same thing for the dads on Father's Day?
Now that Maxwell Drew is finally here, there is so much I have been waiting to tell you!
There is a baby boom in Hollywood that shows no sign of slowing down. Just like we are influenced by celebrities in fashion choices, the influence of how they deck out their babies' nurseries is ever present now more than ever!
The media seems to focus exclusively on celebrity mothers' post partum exercise routines or nursery décor! Personally, I am not so interested in how fast so-and-so got back into shape after baby -- but I am REALLY interested in hearing about other women's births.
Every year, it seems, people become more aware of the power of names. And yet names are still free and universal, which increases the pressure to find that one perfect name that defines and encapsulates all your hopes and dreams for your child.
Praising, which is a marvelous thing when it is merited and sincerely given, has become as freely distributed in the schools and playgrounds as cake at a birthday party.
Sandra Bullock's choice of Bardo as her newly-adopted son's middle name puts the spotlight back on the O names -- names that begin, end, or otherwise emphasize the letter O.
New York Nonstop's Roseanne Colletti dishes with Laura Lane of OK! Magazine about Sandra Bullock's baby secret, and other celebrities who have babies on the way.
This year was notable by a swell of great celebrity baby names, far outweighing the quirky, strange, and downright bad.
Listen up, M.I.A. Lesson #1 in naming your rocker or rapper baby is that you can never choose a regular old first name.
Stars are responsible for some amazingly creative baby names: rediscovering old gems, honoring family members or artistic heroes, exploring far corners of the earth in search of original choices.

Table pads are also easy to clean. One of the benefits of working with a clear pad is that it's easy to see where grime and muck has accumulated, making it easy to wipe down your pads. Often a quick spray with some cleaning fluid or a damp cloth will be enough to set your table pad back to its pristine condition. Larger pads are also easy to clean. Rather than removing them from the table, simply wipe down your table after each meal. Collect any grime, and throw any crumbs into the bin or garbage disposal. The simple upkeep of table pads makes them a great option for those who don't have a lot of time to spare.
If you're not interested in the more typical clear plastic table pads, consider opting for a glass version. These can be purchased as placemats or coasters, or they can be fitted to suit your particular dining or coffee table. These are a great idea for helping to protect valuable wooden surfaces, and they look great too. They're also easy to clean if needed. The durability of the glass also means that you won't have to invest in repairs in either the glass, or your tables. Regardless of your particular living situation, a clear table pad is a great investment if you want to keep your furniture looking fresh and new. They're cheap to buy and easy to keep looking great and tidy. They're a great investment for those with kids in the home, or people who frequently entertain. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brown Sugar, a Quinlan Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Quinlan, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Quinlan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Quinlan already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Quinlan breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Quinlan paves the way for another one to be saved.

Visit The Michael Vincent MySpace Profile >>
Q: How did you start photography?
A: I had been a professional bike rider my whole life. I was always caught up in an extreme world; being in that environment allowed me to travel and experience things most people never get the chance to. I went to school for photography the entire time I was riding. I would take pictures as I travelled and Ive always had a twisted-creative way of looking at things. I bring that attitude into every shoot.
Q: Tell me about your style.
A: I'm a very confident individual; I like to bend the word 'style'. My work speaks for itself - I look for high contrast, edgy types of situations. I'm into taking fashion to the next level and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get there.
Q: What can I expect in a Michael Vincent photo shoot?
A: Definately some sick-ass images! Besides that, I do my best to make my models feel comfortable; most of my models have good things to say about me. "Michael has been a great asset to my career, I couldn't have asked for more, and Michael has helped me take it to another level. I'm happy to have formed this partnership! We will be working together for a long time."

She added, "The expanded service will further connect our two communities and will provide yet another option for San Diegans to visit one of the nation's premier vacation destinations."

We had a similar issue when we did our last automatic WordPress upgrade. We got a similar error and we had to go in and modify our memory limit. Once modified, the new version loaded like a a champ!
Allowed Memory Size Of xxxxxx Bytes Exhausted on WordPress Page
Recently, we got a message like "Allowed memory size of xxxxxxxx bytes exhausted" on Internet Techies sitemap page (where xxxxxxxx was some big number, oops I don't remember!!) . We found out that this error was due to the fact that our PHP code generated for that page was crossing the allocated memory limit on the server.
This error can be overcome by using the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option in wp-config.php file. You can get your wordpress installation's wp-config.php file in your installation's root folder.
Open wp-config.php file in any text editor you use to edit html or php, and go to the end of the file.
Before the above highlighted line, put this code
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
The value 64M in the above code is the memory limit that WordPress has allocated to PHP. By default, WordPress keeps the memory limit to 32M. But if the PHP code for a certain page needs more memory than the default, then, we have to increase the memory limit by using the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option in wp-config.php
Save the modified wp-config.php file to the WordPress installation's root folder. And now try to open the page showing the error, if the error has gone, well good! If not, then try increasing the memory limit to 96M and so on.
64M worked for us!
Important Notes:-
- This setting may not work if your web host does not allow the PHP memory limit increase on the server. In that case you need to contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB. If you wish to get a good PHP memory limit extending options you could try Hostmonster, we have a very good experience with this web hosting service provider. Also you can go thru some of the best web hosting accounts for your website or blog
- Also, remember that by increasing this memory limit, you are allocating more memory for the PHP pages on this instance of WordPress installation, and not other pages on your web site or server that are outside of this concerned WordPress installation instance.
- This option has been introduced with wordpress version 2.5. So, if you have your WordPress installation prior to version 2.5, then you need to contact your web hosting service directly to get the PHP memory allocation increased.

Great tip and fix. Thank you very much for posting this. I was having issues with this when I upgraded to the newest version of WordPress. This fix corrected the issue immediately.
Again, kudos. Thank you very much for posting this.
Wow, awesome fix. I ran into this in a 2.9 to 2.9.1 upgrade. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much! This realy helped me!
After I tryed this, I got another error. I solved it already but it drove me crazy.

Finest Quality Horse Grooming Brushes for a Natural Grooming Process
Grooming can be a wonderful, mutually satisfying process for you and your horse.
Enjoy the grooming process - bond with your horse - get results!
Traditional design, best grooming results:
Horse Brush Set "Classic"
SAVE $5.00 on the set!
Choose from a large or medium finishing brush!
Natural Grooming Brushes by Leistner™ provide you with the professional quality tools you need to get the job done perfectly and make your horse look and feel its best!
Natural, best quality materials and traditional craftsmanship make our brushes stand out. With proper care, your brushes will last for years to come. Read 'how to clean your natural horse brushes' for step-by-step instructions for maintenance and care of the best horse brushes money can buy.
For more on grooming technique, read our article on grooming tools and "How to Groom Your Horse to Shine in 4 Easy Steps" or check our articles page for more grooming tips.
For the old-school natural grooming process (no chemicals, just elbow grease...) you will need a coarse grooming brush, a curry, a dandy brush, a finishing brush, and a mane & tail brush. A face brush and a gloss brush are nice to have but not essential.
A horse that doesn't like to be groomed has a good reason. After ruling out health problems (tick-borne disease, neurological problems, skin conditions), switching from scratchy, uncomfortable plastic brushes that can cause micro-injuries to the horse's skin, is often enough to change the horse's attitude towards grooming. If it FEELS GOOD, what is not to like? Rule of thumb: If a grooming tool feels good to you, it will most likely feel good to your horse. A scratchy plastic brush will scratch your skin. Try it and compare to our natural brushes...
What does it do? Lifts dirt from your horses skin and coat and brings it to the surface. This brush is perfect for the flicking action needed to effectively move dirt and debris from the horse's skin and hair root up to the surface. Natural Mexifiber and hardwood, naturally anti-static. Long-lasting quality will stay supple and flexible for years.
What does it do? Cleans lifted dirt (see flick brush) off horse's coat, distributes oils and creates shine. Natural lacquered beechwood, best quality natural horse hair, leather strap.
What does it do? Cleans lifted dirt (see flick brush) off horse's coat, distributes oils and creates shine. Natural beechwood coated with pure beeswax, best quality natural horse hair, leather strap.
What does it do? Cleans your horse's face gently and efficiently. Handy small size. Natural beechwood, coated with pure beeswax, best quality natural horse hair, leather strap.
What does it do? Cleans lifted dirt (see flick brush) off horse's coat, distributes oils and creates shine while thoroughly removing dirt, dust, and dander with a raised edge. Beechwood with attractive rose wood stain, best quality natural horse hair with raised natural bristle edge, leather strap.
What does it do? Helps wash caked on mud or dirt off horse's hoof, strong enough for challenging dirt, soft enough for pasterns and coronet. Also great for blankets and pads. Natural hardwood, mexifiber.
What does it do? Helps wash caked on mud or dirt off horse's hoof, buckets and boot soles. Large brush with practical handle and two types of fiber, stiff (dark) and softer (light). Great to work the dirt off your horse's hoof while the softer bristles touch near the coronet band. Natural hardwood, stiff Union Fiber and medium stiff Mexifiber.
What does it do? Helps brush your horse's mane in to perfection. Attention: We recommend only brushing manes and tails that were thoroughly conditioned and hand-picked first for best results. Use the wild boar bristle side to groom your horse's face. Natural beechwood treated with beeswax, natural wild boar bristle and wire with heads.
"Just wanted to let you know that I just received my brushes 10 minutes ago. :) I am extremely impressed at the quality of these brushes!!!... the quality is incredible and I'm already sure [my horse] will love them as I do (after buying so many different brushes for my picky boy, I know his taste.) Thank you so much and I will recommend these brushes to everyone!!! ;) Rocio P., MI
"Got my first order today--was so happy with them I decided to order one more! Thank you so much!!!" Nikki M. Springfield, MO
"I am in love with these brushes! I don't like to groom very much, I'd rather be riding. So anything that helps speed up the grooming process and makes it more efficient is a plus in my books. I used my [natural] brushes today for the first time on my two very dirty horses, and I was frankly amazed! The flick brush really brought the dirt to the surface efficiently and fast, and then the body brush and the finishing brush made my horses gleam and sparkle. I spent about half the time I usually spend on grooming, and I got more than double the results. Thanks for introducing me to thess brushes ... they're as closeto "self grooming horses" as one can get!" Anke J., Verona, WI
Shop for Natural Grooming Brushes
"Grace has never looked so good! Her coat is now shiny and feels like silk, with the dirt raised to the surface with the [natural] flick brush and removed with the horse hair brush, I then went over her again with the horse hair brush which really brought out the shine. She was very curious at first about what I was using, but once she checked them out and got into enjoying the grooming, she was signing with contentment and completely relaxed. So I can safely say [these] brushes are a hit with both of us!" Tamara P., Beaver Dam, WI

The Massena Red Raiders broke open a close 2-1 game
in a fashion they have becoming accustomed this
season – with a strong third period – in defeating
Section IX Champion Monroe Woodbury in the New York
State Division I quarterfinal. The Raiders pumped
home three goals in a span of less than five minutes
to start the third period to capture the 5-1
victory. Massena dominated the first period by
outshooting the Crusaders 16-1 and capitalizing for
two first-period goals. Freshman Wyatt Wilmshurst
connected for the first goal on a set up from Jordan
Robert and Patrick Manning. The Raiders added to the
lead while on a delayed penalty, when Devin Page
blasted a pass from Ryan Thomas that found the back
of the net on a low line-drive shot which proved to
be the game-winner. Monroe Woodbury would close the
gap at 6:55 of the second period, when Nick Pelosi
beat Massena goaltender Connor Paquin, assisted by
Joe Cromwell and Chris Carey. The Red Raiders
grabbed for control of the game just 27 seconds into
the third period, when Stone scored again on a
rebound from Maddox Merry. Tyler Young and Ben
Sprague earned assists. At 3:19, Evan Kassian
knocked home a pass from Ryan Thomas. Patrick
Manning then scored his 23rd goal of the season at
the 5:35 mark on an assist from Wilmshurst. Massena
outshot Monroe Woodbury 40-16 for the game. Paquin
made 15 saves. The Raiders now advance to the New
York State Final Four to face Section V champion
Fairport that edged highly-touted West Genesee 1-0
in their quarterfinal game.

made the initial sliding save, but the puck came back to
Barr who then buried the rebound. The Larries regained
the lead with 3:42 remaining when Drew Rose blasted a

New survey illuminates top HR concerns
What do you get when you compare different surveys and get consistent results? Hopefully, a pretty reliable measurement.
Today, I ran across a BLR article on top concerns of HR professionals that compared:
- A BLR Daily Advisor survey, sent to a representative sample of 6,000 BLR newsletter readers
- Another BLR survey done earlier this year, through the BLR subscription website, HR.BLR.com, and through a BLR online ezines.
- Reader interest lists by Susan Heathfield, of About.com
- Private industry surveys done by firms that included Express Personnel Services and Hewitt Associates.
Findings? "The surveys backed each other up in defining what concerned and interested [HR] professionals] most.
Specifically, top issues were, in this order:
- Compliance.
HR thinks and worries about how to meet the many requirements and restrictions of a multiplicity of federal employment laws, a task complicated by state laws that may differ significantly from federal. - Retention and Recruitment.
Many predict a labor shortage of more than 10 million skilled workers coming soon, "as baby boomers retire and not enough trained younger workers are available to fill their slots." The article says: "Local conditions come into play here. You've told us that it's harder to find and retain talent in economically depressed or geographically remote areas."
- Performance Management. The article notes: "the traditional performance appraisal, is particularly criticized."
- Rising Healthcare Costs. Say no more.
- Workplace Atmospherics. The article says: "In-house negativity, 'bad' supervisors, office politics, and gossip occupy many of your concerns. Our recent article on negativity was one of our most-read, and commented-on features."
- Developing Leadership and Teamwork. The article says: "Companies talk the talk on these issues, but many never walk the walk. It bothers you, since that's what HR is there to do."
Solutions? Knowledge and training. Wise counsel. Knowing when you need more information and advice because you're entering an area fraught with special hazards, like terminating an employee with a medical condition that may be a disability, to name an obvious one.
Solutions? Note that in those "depressed or geographically remote areas" there are probably also high unemployment rates. What can your business do to fill the needed positions with readily available, but underqualified labor? In some instances, reexamine "qualifications." Invest in training. Partner with educational institutions and agencies that try to train and place the unemployed. I'm sure there are many more answers.
Solutions: Reevaluate your performance appraisal process, including input from employees at all levels. Research what others have said works and doesn't work. Figure out what may work for you.
Solutions? Short of major political change to some kind of universal health care, current best bets include the usual increased deductibles and employee contributions. Know what the competition does in this regard. Perhaps it is worth beating them on this score; some employees may take good health care over higher wages. Newer approaches include health savings accounts, various approaches to prevention, and even in-house clinics for large organizations.
Solutions? Anyone? Surely one can read what others have written about organizational culture and changing it, as a source of ideas. Measuring employee concerns in this area is a great start, too. 360-degree evaluations and exit interviews may help bring out the fact that seemingly successful supervisors are viewed as tyrants. They should be held accountable and aided in improvement.
Solutions? Training. Treating these qualities as important in evaluating performance. Anything else?

I don't usually pay attention to KickStarter projects, but this game looks promising. It's one of only two that I've backed ($15 for the Wii U key).
" I think this is why aging makes humans die! "
It's awesome to see JRPG fans take the initiative. I'm not a big fan of the voice work, though.
I did $25 for the Vita/PS4 & PC (hoping this gets greenlit on Steam)
Looks like it could be fun.
Kain: "Conscience...? You dare speak to me of conscience? Only when you have felt the full gravity of choice should you dare to question my judgment!"
For one brief moment i thought we might be seeing a new SaGa game.
Then my heart sank as i realized this is not that.
Hurray for kickstarter though. I like the art style in the screens.
The game seems to have some promising concepts and features (particularly the combat sounds good), but also takes a lot of the most tired cliches from JRPGs. A young cocky male protagonist with daddy issues. I've never seen that before. Also, do we really need an intro with a J-Pop tune? How many JRPG fans actually like J-Pop? That's one thing I think I can do without. Then there's the voice-acting, which sounds like the most generic JRPG / anime voice-acting ever. I don't really care for the in game character models, but the footage is pre-alpha and the creator said a big part of the point of kickstarter is to improve the art so I can give them a pass for that. Despite sounding like I'm hating on this, I've actually been considering backing it. I just have this will feeling someone is trying too hard to imitate a classic JRPG, rather than making a good RPG in it's own right. And despite mentioning Persona, Suikoden, and Breath of Fire, it's looking like 99.9% of it's influences are Final Fantasy.

At least the hero doesn't have amnesia.
I hope this game is successful when its released.
Well aren't you just a negative Nancy :P
All kidding aside, I see your point, however you can't really expect one guy to nail innovation on every branch of a game. Also, personally, I like most aspects of what I have seen so far and I think it will be good for the JRPG niche of North America for this to be successful. Saying that, I think your points are certainly valid if this was an actual company of experienced designers, but sometimes it's just nice to get something that's been done before, but done really really well. I hope Mike is successful in this but who knows? Only time will tell.
*crosses fingers*
I agree that some parts of the game are too cliche for my liking and borrow a bit too heavily from other games. I'm not super-keen on Mithos and Elise as they're presented in text so far, although I did like the humour between them in the pitch video. Do we really need another abrasive hero and his female friend who harbours a secret love for him? ::
The quality of the Kickstarter pitch, however, is quite good, especially for a one-man studio. I'm always more interested in Kickstarters (especially from new and unproven developers) for which a decent amount of game material has already been made, showing that the creators not only have a good idea, but the skills and dedication to carry it through. Anybody can "maek poast" about their awesome game idea, but not everybody can make a solid proof of concept like this and line up the kind of extra talent that this Kickstarter has done. Even if the voice actors sound a bit "generic anime," how many Kickstarter pitches have you seen that even have the voice actors involved? That's the sort of thing that impressed me about this pitch.

I'm glad this got funded. I hope the vita version has cross play.
If I was planning on backing this, and I'm not, I'd be asking him what state the game is currently in and a full breakdown of where the money is going to go. If he currently doesn't have a lot more than the stuff he showed off in the trailer (a few levels, a half-dozen character models, proof-of-concept combat) I'd be extremely skeptical of this being finished in a year, or ever. A 15-20-hour 3D JRPG is unfathomably ambitious for one full-time programmer + contract (ie not full-time) artists.
Trailer does look nice, agree about the voices but not the worst I've heard either. I'll wait for a review, and hope the backers are not dissapointed.
I have to say it's cute... I won't make any pre-judgements about the game until I see some gameplay. It will come down to characters, battle system, and customization to see if I am actually interested in it.
I wish him luck
At least the music is in good hands, this I can guaranteed. Aivi Tran contributed a couple tracks to the A'deo Chronicle/Project VGM soundtrack. Check them out at the link in my sig, both are excellent. She's also a very gifted pianist.
Oh wow, that's pretty neat, Jormungand. I do like her pieces "Thena" and "Duke Moira."
" I think this is why aging makes humans die! "
Oh yeah, I can't deny that he's done a lot of impressive things for a one person studio. I guess this game probably just isn't for me... Even the name sounds too much like a generic JRPG. I'm actually a lot more interested in the less flashy Kickstarter project for The Great Gaias which is more of an "old school" 16-bit JRPG style. Unfortunately, it seems to be struggling.. perhaps it has been overshadowed by the Soul Saga campaign.
