Hi! A bit late in introducing my lil' ol' self, but I've been a surprisingly busy bee with everything there is to do here!

I'm Neo, I like Pokemon adoptable clicksites and a lot of everyday-task games like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Cooking Mama, Nintendogs, and more usual stuff like Mario, Zelda, Sonic, MegaMan, Boktai, Donkey Kong, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Final Fantasy, Guitar Hero (before Harmonix left) and Rock Band, Brutal Legend, Bard's Tale... And I like virtual pet games in general, too!

I'm also super into robots and I love Astro Boy (1963/1983/2003, don't bring up the CGI movie) and the Casshern reboot. I also like Iron Man because of the huge technological bend it has, and I found a Bollywood gem called "Enthiran" or "Endhiran" (Robot) that I'd recommend to anyone who likes the Iron Man action and the Astro Boy existential stuff about personhood. And if you want feel free to share any cool technology fact you have! I love little technology tidbits!

As far as anime goes, I tend to like stuff that's more geared toward older viewers, like Aggretsuko, or Madoka Magicka, or Princess Mononoke, or The Secret of Arietty. For movie genres, I've found that I have a love for Spaghetti Westerns like Django or Sabata or The Great Silence. But if you want something that's "lighter", I'd recommend the Sartana movies if you can unearth them. They're basically Western James Bond and they have a more mystery vibe to them, like Sabata, but without the grimmer angle.

For music, I like a little of everything, but I especially like metal and rock mixes. My latest discovery is an older group called Dschinghis Khan, which led me into Yuve Yuve Yu, a song by The HU, a Mongolian rock band. I'm just generally willing to listen to anything that makes one want to nod their head to that music, and I take recommendations there!

Uhm... What else... I like to draw and write and do spritework, I might open up a small spriteshop if I get the time and into a good headspace for it. For now though, I'll just leave old trainer sprites I did for myself and some customs for my personal Pokemon characters. No, you may not use those.


You can use this one though! It's a Ducklett meant to fit with the DPPt or BW trainer sprites!

Pretty sweet interests! :>

I'm huge into a lot of Megaman series, one of my most favorites being the whole Legends series and sadly that fell into obscurity and became forgotten after the third game got cancelled. It'll surely inspire me to make something like it someday in the future though!

I surely would love to sprite again as well, I haven't done that in a long time. When it comes to art though I lately have been working on Illustrator for a little project of mine with a friend, it was a lot to do since this morning but I have a lot of fun doing it!

Legends isn't forgotten! There's at least one fangame made for it that's in development (I don't recall offhand, I haven't dipped my toes in the Legends side in a while, I'm more into the grimdark of the X Series) that I remember discovering on Blyka's website (the person who made the Starman fangames) and I very very distinctly remember that A Hat In Time was originally a Legends fan spiritual successor/engine that grew into its own thing. Its early betas felt just like a Legends game, as far as I remember the first rumbles of it...

There's also a fan-recreation of Legends 3 being worked on underground (if you can find the ROM hacking scene, you'll surely find the trails of that project, since there was a lot of asking around about extracting the models for Megaman 64 and some screenshots of a Legends-compliant Barret model) but as it's being quietly done, I'm not sure how far it's come. I'll have to find it again and check up on it...

Oooh, would that project end up public, or is it just a For Fun/Practice Only thing?

Nice to see someone else who got into Legends! I never knew A Hat In Time was actually inspired by the series, but yeah be sure to hit me up if you have more info on those fangames. :o

It's a pretty big project from what we've been doing, it's been almost two months on working it and we still haven't finished the beginning part because we're still trying to figure out how to get the basics going on it. You could say it involves a lot of practice for whenever I get myself into even bigger projects in the future.

Feel free to message me if you want, I pretty much just chill around the website most of the time without doing much because of that whole project thing. I usually respond when I can! :D
