I wouldn't say that quite yet. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Acer Burner, forum lurker by trade. I have found this series of games to be quite interesting and have started to collect various online images related to Valis in order to start a revival of the fandom. Also, I am trying to rip the sprites from the game in order to create my own that match the designers' styles and perhaps start a fan/sprite comic based on the storylines. I hope to correspond with you in the future. Good luck at the art insitute and good day.

Re: Well now...
this board is not dead yet because i still hang around here just to see if others will reply.
If you happen to check back and see this, drop an email to Nizetti at his old email address on hotmail. He hasn't heard from you in what feels like a decade!

Hey.
Hey guys.
Was able to recover, much less reclaim, my old account. Interesting to see after 3 years this board has been floating around that people are still posting on it.
What I've been doing lately? I moved to the Bay Area where I've been going to the art school there, which I left about only being there for a year and a half. It's interesting to see how arrogant people in the art world are.
I've also been playing a lot of Ragnarok Online on a private role playing server, where I met the new love of my life. We've been together for about three months now, and have met in real life, as well.
As for the old members of the board...many of them left to their own designs. Kanno aka Will Shafer has been floating around for the most part. I did actually get a chance to meet him while he was living up in Dublin, CA during a work related visit. Interesting guy for the most part. He has a thing for Puma stuff...
Windshear I haven't heard for some time, and either have I heard from Sniper Wolf aka Fred. I don't talk to Kazekage or Dire51 anymore due to reasons I rather not discuss.
Upsen mentioned Nizetti. I don't have his email address anymore, so I have no other ways of contacting him. I remember back when he had his little Valis page going.
As for Castle Vanity...I don't have the heart to resurrect it anymore, now that my childhood memories (one of many) has been raped once again by having it ruined by having it turned into an h-game with Yuko being molested by tenacles. Also, other things have made to where I'll probably won't bring it back.
On the plus side, I still play the old Valis games every once in a while. I've gotten a hold of the entire PCE versions of the games, and the Mega Drive version of Valis III. The PCE games are [i]extremely[/i] difficult, I have to say.
It's also good that Alucard has kept up with the Dreamland of Valis page, even though I can't speak nor read a word of Portuguese!
Once again, it's good to see that this old board is still alive and kicking after these past few years. Hope you guys have fun with it.
