About Me
- About JokerBen
- Quick Self-Introduction
- My name is Ben. I'm pretty boring as far as identity goes because I don't really have any nicknames that I am (commonly) known as.
- Biography
- I'm a game developer turned screenwriter. I find both things to be very fun, but you don't have to make tons of graphics, fix bugs, and program screenplays do you?
I have made several games exclusively with RPG Maker's services. The first being a terrible Pokémon: Adventures in Aloma in 2012. It was very weak in pretty much every field. Terrible graphics, horrible soundtrack quality (I'll touch on this in a second), and confusing plot.
My second game came out in 2013 and was Pokémon: Adventures in Kanto. This was me trying to do a sort of "Adventures" series of games. This one was a remake of Pokémon Yellow with the additions of Johto and Hoenn plus a deeper plot with Team Rocket. It looks good in writing, but it turned out how my first game did.
My third game, started in 2014 and abandoned in 2016, was Titans of Laxus. A 100% original game. It had a great story to it, but the graphics, and everything else didn't support the greatness of the story (I brag about the story because people that have been exposed to it love it). This was when I decided I was better-suited to write rather than write and make graphics and program games. Needless to say, I have written a set of pretty lengthy screenplays based on my Titans of Laxus game.
My fourth (and final) game was a complete overhaul and remake of Adventures in Aloma. I still stand by the plot I had in the original game even though everything else about it was terrible. So, I remade it. Same soundtrack, just better quality. Nearly same graphics, just sharpened and better I suppose. This game is Pokémon Nobelium. Nobelium was special for me because I really got to finish what I started and it turned out to be above-average in pretty much every important category. Nobelium isn't without it's flaws, but I'm really proud of what I was able to do with my first completed Pokémon game.
I don't anticipate making anymore games unless it's to update Nobelium or even to make some DLCs (!) since there are some mysterious characters in Nobelium that haven't been explored in depth. I'm just going to see how players like it first. - Interests
- You could find me watching Indianapolis Colts football, a DC movie, a sci-fi flick House of Cards, NCIS, Breaking Bad, Better Caul Saul, or listening to Witt Lowry, Blackbear, Twenty One Pilots, Panic! at the Disco, or political commentary.
If I'm out, I'll be driving my Jeep. If I'm playing video games you would see anything from the GTA or Arkham series, along with Battlefield or Minecraft.
I am a Moderator on the fairly large Minecraft server, ItsJerryAndHarry.
I am an avid outdoors person, often hiking or swimming. In the Summer of 2016, I completed an 80 mile backpacking hike in New Mexico.
Politically, I'm a moderate with both left-wing and right-wing views. I confess that most of my views lean toward the right but are moderate all the same. That being said, I am American where views are placed slightly different on the political spectrum than most European nations. - Location
