WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Probably because Aveyond is a boring-ass game with very little in the way of polish and interesting ideas. I watched an LP of one of them just the other week and... I'd have expected that someone who has been making games as long as they have to have, idk, upped their game and skill a bit more? They haven't. If that's your idea of successful, that's cool, but it's not the kind of game make design I'd recommend adhering too because, frankly, it's lazy.

Again, it's cool that they are making money hand over fist, but it's also kinda sad to see that people really will buy any old piece of 'meat'. We should really push to get some better games up on Steam.

That said, I'm happy for you. I didn't enjoy Skyborn that much, but I did buy it to support a fellow RMN dev and I gave it a good hour spin. Granted, I played it way ages ago. Maybe I could try it again. I've got an RM stream owed so I might play it again then, since I did only get an hour into it.



So, I'm babysitting today. I love my niece and all but holy moly do I see a lot of her, especially in the past week. XD
And she'll want to watch that terrible Dirt Girl World and Peppa Pig (almost wrote Peppe Pig - the rarest Pepe). I'm gonna try get her onto something a bit more bearable like MLP:FIM or something. Wish me luck!

Yay! I used to love that show. Good luck Libby! (Psst, maybe watch Pokémon Anime with her?)

typical RMN garbage post #5billion

"Slew" - 4 games in 7 years.
"Average" - 520,000 Skyborn installs on Steam alone.
"Creative complacency" - Entire soundtracks, one for each game, by me. First game's entire battle system evented by me. Every game most pixel art by me. Professional artists recruited and paid by me. Professional relationships developed and fostered by me.

Can't you just be happy for me? :D

Let's not forget two developers who have made way more games than I have for even longer than I have - Amaranth and Aldorlea. Praised and respected by myself and most everyone outside of RMN. Yet, they get shit on here. I remember how much flak this community was giving Aveyond - oh how much you could have learned from Amanda's success.

ROFL you are so full of it!

fyi did you know that I've recently taken to distancing myself from this community? My words come from someone "outside of RMN" in that regard, sir.

we have expectations

eating seeds as a pastime activity

the toxicity of our community

I came here because I heard people were pissing and moaning none-too-subtly about my existence on slack (which, Infection, before you act all aggrieved at me please remember that my big issue with you was when you kept doing transphobic shit because you didn't like what I was saying), but stayed because of yet another big self-important speech from a shovelware developer with more gossamer-thin pride than his work could possibly merit

it is the easiest and laziest thing in the world to meet criticism or disagreement and just go 'oh well obviously that other person is just crazy'

this applies to both the subjects I am addressing in this post

anyway suffice it to say that I could not be happier that the slack does not reflect this community like it used to

and if it does indeed become the big critical trans jamboree you all seem to be fearing then all the better, because in spite of your increasingly shaky assertions that all problems are in the eye of the beholder, there's a reason this forum has been losing members of marginalized groups left and right and holding onto an intensely conservative core

e: also pom gets wifi was made nearly three years ago and you all still get mad about it? and wonder why people like the creator, who made a quick weird game for fun and got made a pariah for its popularity, don't show up as much anymore?

Ratty did in fact leave basically, and I wont go into thew implications of him posting despite that. Needless to say though, by using that number here and now, you're saying that every single post on this site is garbage, even your own past posts! (Yes I know what hyperbole is and I think I'm well within reason to make use of it myself).

"Slew" - 4 games in 7 years.

Uses hyperbole but doesn't understand when someone else uses it. Figures.

"Average" - 520,000 Skyborn installs on Steam alone.

"Number of installs" is a shitty metric. I'd rather hear you brag about the wealth its brought you.

"Creative complacency" - Entire soundtracks, one for each game, by me. First game's entire battle system evented by me. Every game most pixel art by me.

Post a link to your resume then. No one wants to hear your bragging.

Professional artists recruited and paid by me. Professional relationships developed and fostered by me.

Was it desperate and faustian deals that drew them in? Do they know about the shit you do here? Are we and have we always been you toilet to shit in so to speak?

Can't you just be happy for me? :D

To quote Geese Howard; "You're not worth my disgust."

Let's not forget two developers who have made way more games than I have for even longer than I have - Amaranth and Aldorlea.

Didn't Amaranth go under? Aldorlea has a rep for shovelware among other things.

Praised and respected by myself and most everyone outside of RMN.

Writing this off as yet more hyperbole.

Yet, they get shit on here.

And for good reason! Though to be fair, I can think of a certain team that deserves the combined flak those 2 have received (kisareth anyone?).

I remember how much flak this community was giving Aveyond - oh how much you could have learned from Amanda's success.

Define "success".

@ harmonic gangbang

We can all agree that harmonic's not the James Cameron of the RM presence on Steam, but isn't his success exactly what many of you are trying to emulate? Surpass, certainly, but without the right stuff at the right time, his position is kind of it.
Particularly you, Corf, with your recent transition of ToZ from freeware to commercial.

Having a measure of success doesn't give anyone carte blanche privilege to act like an asshole, nor does it mean they deserve respect they haven't earned. One can be a huge success on Steam but still a poor developer if they cannot even take constructive crisism (and has to respond to such with petty insults).
