Metal-Gear Codename Generator

I recently came across this nifty little Metal-Gear codename generator http://www.metalgearnamegenerator.com/

You just type in your first and last name and it gives you a name to be embarrassed by forever.

I am the “Logical Crocodile.”

Just think of the potential such a creature has! “It would seem that you cannot function well without any limbs. Therefore I shall eat them!” Actually, it seems like a regular crocodile would probably reach the exact same conclusion.

Hm? Oh right that game thing. Its… coming along. No major news at the moment. I just really wanted to post this up.

————————————————————————————–

ummmmm… well, thats actually not bad compared to mine. I am KATANA ANACONDA! I will strike fear into the hearts of many with my horrible tried-to-be-a-rhyme-but-failed-and-was-forced-into-hiding-name. I will coil around you and… do something… ummm… how do anacondas hold Katanas? Anyways, my freakishly embarassing name will always haunt me forever.

Graphical Stuff

Alright, people. I do not have exams anymore *cheers* We are getting two views daily? wow….. And I havent looked at this since welll….. The Past…. a week… or two….. Anyways, I am going to make some custom graphics for

1) The lords

2) Some new units. (Including one called the dragon soldier which I still haven’t run through Jonah) 3) A new map tileset (maybe)

Anyways, Im going to be busy, but Im planning on making a freewebs forum so you can submit your custom junk (or if its good, not junk) which i will have up once I stop being lazy. We’re in for a wait. Until then, submit it here.

*NOTE* Do NOT submit your own lord Ideas, we have already come up with at least two, maybe a third. I will submit details later.

Jonah: I do hope you mean, “run by me.” Having an idea run through me sounds rather unpleasant.  Also, just to avoid any confusion, all posts by “faucetstudios” are me and all posts by “anthasu1″ are Joe.

Apologies, Explanations, and Announcements

I wasn’t exactly planning to do an update today.Even though I previously stated that I would update this blog frequently. Wait! Wait! I have an excuse.

Turns out Joe and I made a pretty big mistake in creating this blog when we did. You see we are both in school, and since summer is nearing we both have all those wonderful end of the year exams. I’ll spare the details, but suffice to say neither of us have had time to do very much of anything relating to the site or game. I had planned to just postpone updating until summer because this place didn’t have any views anyway. But now since the site is getting UPWARDS OF TWO VIEWS DAILY I feel obligated to update.

First off a more formal announcement of Faucet’s first game.

Fire Emblem: The Scouring

This game takes in the Fire Emblem Universe. Specifically, Elibe during The Scouring.  Any fan of the Fire Emblem series already knows what The Scouring is.  If you are not a Fire Emblem fan then this game will not be for you because its shaping up to be a game for the fans.

Yes, we are making a game during the dragon-human war in Elibe, the continent where FE 6 and 7 took place.  It’s a perfect setting from a development point of view.  It makes it easy for our game story to fit well within the FE universe and it makes it easy on us because we don’t have to write our own story from scratch.  Which isn’t to say that we’re not writing anything original at all.  We have done quite a bit of research on various FE fan sites to make sure we don’t disrupt any set pieces in the Fire Emblem universe.  However we have found several events of The Scouring where there are some open spaces.  By filling in these empty spaces we have been able to place our own story within the game.  It should make the game a lot better than if we were to just copy+paste all of the information we found and call that a story.

Thats all for now.  Updates should come more frequently for real this time.

Welcome One and All

Today is the first day of this site’s life. Here’s some quick background for all of you.

A couple of months ago a friend of mine (I’m Jonah the friend is Joe) showed me a utility he was using to make games. This utility is Game Maker 7. He was using it to make a Fan game of the popular turn-based strategy game series “Fire Emblem.” I’m a huge fan of the series and I wanted to learn how to make games so I downloaded the program and went through several tutorials. I asked him if I could help with his game. He said yes because, while he could do graphics, he needed a coder.

We eventually decided that we needed to come up with a premise for the story of the game. After a small bit of deliberation we decided to make a game taking place before Fire Emblem 6 and 7 during “The Scouring” (If you’re a Fire Emblem fan then you already know what that is). After working on it for a few months I asked him if he thought that we should make a blog to document our progress. He thought it was a good idea, so we decided to call ourselves “Faucet” as a spin-off of the company “Valve.” So now here I am writing this first entry.

I plan on updating this site as often as possible because people will stop coming if they never find anything
