Special Edition/Update

Shadowiii · **It's been real.** Joined: 14 Feb 2003 Posts: 2460

Despite what I may have said, I now have only two OHR games left in my OHR career. Those wondering, Lacrymosa has become a book series, and The Pastor is cancelled. Stop will never be, unfortunatly.

However, due to the popularity of my older OHR games, I'd like to close my OHR career by polishing off or "perfecting" one of my older games. Mr. B will undoubtably help me with this, minus the fact I haven't asked him yet. But expect it.

So now you, the community, have a chance to vote. You've played the games, you've reviewed them. Which of the above would you like to see remade? The process could be short or long, depending on the game. Work won't begin until at least June 2007 (when I return home from Iowa), but I'd like to know now so Mr. B and I can spend some time preparing.

Thank you and please vote. If there is a game I haven't posted that you'd like a remake/special edition, feel free to reply with your vote.

If you plan to update OHR Date, I suggest either get someone else to, or improve the graphics of the girls. I didn't want to play because all their faces scared me (sounds shallow I know) too much.

If you plan to update Pitch Black, I don't really have anything to say. I don't see what exactly you could update, unless you want to bring it up with the latest features of the OHR (although you could do that for any of your old games)

If you plan to update The Seventh Day, can't help you. For some reason, I never got past the first battle, because the game always messed up with the scripts.

I don't know if I helped, but I hope I did.

~~OHR Date! Give the girls bigger boobs and more revealing clothes~~

Remake The Seventh Day. I liked the game, but the graphics weren't as good as your other works.

I've played all three games, though not very far. I liked PB the most, though OHRD and TSD were bothe quite innovative... I'd suggest better graphics , but so would anyone. Raspberry!

Like Onlyone said, you could update them with the most recent OHR releases... Hope I've been of assistance...

Perhaps I should elaborate what could potationally be improved in each game. Keep in mind this list is NOT comprehensive, I could add or take away, but at the time this is what I am considering.

OHR-Date - Complete graphical overhall. Larger town. More activities. Multiple dating scenarios. Possibly another girl. Completely redrawn backdrops. Additional ways to play. Customize your character. Pretty much an entirely new game, the character will be in college this time. I have a lot of other neat ideas if it is picked. No, there will be no pornographic material, duh.

Pitch Black - Complete graphical overhall. Backdrops pixelated (like PB2). Possibly more puzzles, though the game WILL remain short and sweet. Improved/new lighting script (Mr. B has been messing with something new, he has mentiond).

The Seventh Day - Completely graphical overhall. Complete scripting overhall (ie no bugs). Actually having the "missing" day (Day #5 that I ran out of time for). Improved final boss. Larger, better areas with actual puzzles. More of a "survival" game then a "shooting" game. Possibly removing random battles and replacing it with set enemy placement.

Again, this isn't comprehensive, but it is a general idea. All three of these games have had planned remakes in the past, so I at least have a general starting idea for them.

As for leaving, I've been "gone" for a while now, and both Mr. B and I have agreed that we are coming to the end of our "OHR lives." I figured I'd give one last "hoorah" before fading away into obscurity. But yes, after this is released I'll probably hang around for a little longer to see it's feedback then head out. My current plans are to be gone as of January 1st, 2008, but we'll see if I can remake these games by then.

OHR Date. Make the women more attractive and add more cameos if you can think of some.

What happened to Stop?

Also, why do people always talk about leaving? It's not like you have to book a flight to get to a web page; you can visit whenever you like.

Quitting CP and quitting OHRing are two completely different things, and Shadowiii never said anything about giving up his admin status.

The Seventh Day probably is my favourite, however, the thought of Shadow ceasing to create OHR games makes my soul sad.

Why not just make an entirely new game Shadow?

Why have a set # of OHR games to make?Sounds dumb. Why not just say you're taking a break and will make another game if you ever "feel" like it.

Anyway I'd like to see 7th day redoood because I liked the game but it was buggy as heyell and please redesign the police station to make more sense.

What BB said.

You shouldn't stop making games, your games kicked ass. OHR-Date, Pitch Black, 7th Day... All were instant classics. But if you want to remake a game, I'd say 7th Day. That game was buggy.

The reason I'm cutting back on the whole OHR game making scene is because I have med school and real life kicking in hardcore fall '07, not to mention I have a few old stories that a publisher mentioned interest in should I rewrite them (woo!). I'll more then likely continue to play and possibly review OHR games, but it's gotten to the point that creating anything besides short "joke" games takes too much of my time. I'll probably churn out a few of them now and again, but for the most part unless some genius idea strikes me this'll probably be it.

That's kinda funny, though. I put The Seventh Day on there because I couldn't think of anymore, and it has the most votes. I personally wanted to do OHR-Date or Pitch Black, but maybe I'll do Seventh Day as well as one of those two. I honestly didn't think it would get that many votes, heh.

At any rate, keep voting and we'll see. Lacrymosa was going to be me and B's last hoorah, but it kinda got axed too in favor of the book version (which you will see a lot of come June '07, as it's got about 300 pages so far, hand written). I'd love to keep making games, but in all honesty it really isn't worth the time anymore. Maybe I'll just sign up as a graphic artist or something. XD

Enough blabbing from me. Feel free to continue the conversation, heh. Oh yes, just so you know, I'm doing this to get a community opinion. I still have my own ideas, so I could end up updating the losing voting game. Sorry, that's the way it goes.

You should totally do OHR-date 1.99 : Lesbian Pillow fight.

Actually I've an idea of what you can do for the finale. The guy goes to highschool and regrets breaking up with his former girlfriend. The object is to win her back, only now you must content with a rival, who also wants to steal her away from you. That'd be how I would have done it anyway.

Make a remake/special edition/English version of Mother!

...Not that you made the original, but the game needs one anyway.

Anyways, I'm sad to see you leave. I've known you on Operation:OHR since my early elementary school days.
