Eh!? Is this OUR Seph!?

I just read about this ROM Hack news article when what I underlined caught my attention:

RHDN Frontpage News Articles listCategory: ROM Hacks News [ DISCUSS ]This hack was originally called Shards of Might, but it was in beta form and couldn’t be played normally. But ROM hackers have come together and debugged this hack.Omega and Seph (authors of Shards of Might) did most of the work with this hack. Francais from France has remodeled it and I, PuzzleDude, have finished and debugged it (some aesthetic bugs that I couldn’t fix remain). I’ve added new gameplay and extended two dungeons. The overworld and all dungeons were remodeled.In comparison to Zelda 3: A Link to the Past, this is a completely new hack. The overworld and all dungeons are new.Enjoy this debugged hack.RHDN Project Page

Source:http://www.romhacking.net/Is that seph "OUR" Almighty one? Or is it some other bloke using a similar nick?

lolwut? I think they mean Shards of Light, a homebrew remake of the original Legend of Zelda by BassAceGold, who used to be a mod on NDS-Roms. Omega likely refers to Omega_2, who I believe helped out with some parts of the project.EDIT: Wait, looks like it's something else entirely. Nevermind. SePH is also probably someone else. "Our" Seph probably wouldn't use Hotmail. It's not like it's an uncommon username, anyway.

The hotmail bit is indeed true, but the name "seph" as being common? Didn't see that coming ???

You wouldn't think that a shortened version of 'Sephiroth' wouldn't be common?Is something wrong that you need to tell us?

No, there's no harmful or negative issues, if that's what your hinting at Nat :)I just thought that the Almighty one was the guy on the ROM Hack news article, & had it been him I thought it was cool that he ventured in the world of ROM Hacking if he did.As for the commonality of the username, I guess you & tehuber are right, I mean aside from sephirith, seph could also be a shortened form of Joseph or even josephine.Again, I'm sorry if I sounded alarmed or worried about something on my initial post.

Definitely not him. He's way too lazy to learn how to do something like that.

Oh c'mon now Reider LOL!Well since you guys have cleared that out, I guess this will just be classified as another ROM Hacks new article then.But as I said, it would have been cool if the almighty one did delve in the world of ROM Hacking.

Reider · #6Definitely not him. He's way too lazy to learn how to do something like that.

That and I've never known him to be much of a zelda fan in the first place.

He's definitely a Zelda fan. He absolutely adores her polygonal face in Ocarina of Time.He just wouldn't do something like this is all.

The only thing he took part of in game development was let Capcom make a Street Fighter character out of his physical appearance.

Geez guys, now you made me feel guilty for starting a thread where you can rip on the Almighty one LOL!

Reider · #9He's definitely a Zelda fan. He absolutely adores her polygonal face in Ocarina of Time.He just wouldn't do something like this is all.

Meh. I guess I don't pay attention as much as I thought I did, but of course I don't come on IRC either.

LOL yeah it was Guile wasn't it? just lacks the muscles in real life.

You really expected less? :P

LOL!As I said, I would have thought it pretty darn awesome if seph did venture forth in the ROM Hacking route.

First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women.Rom hacking fails at step one, unfortunately.

MadmanNero · #12Meh. I guess I don't pay attention as much as I thought I did, but of course I don't come on IRC either.

http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=1547.msg10016#msg10016To be fair, this was ages ago so I wouldn't expect you to know about this one.

ROM hacking is boring, if I ever got into that I'd probably be writing ROM hacking tools, that's more around my skill level.

Also this. Women are important!
