CloseEvening, gents. I stumbled across this place about a month ago through Feldschlacht's sig on GW, and I've been lurking ever since. I would have joined sooner, but I was really busy for a while... and then I lost interest... and then my interest came back, but I got lazy... and then I decided to see if I could beat FF2/4 in a day (which I could have if I hadn't stopped to watch Sweeney Todd)... Eheh. Incidentally, my gamemaking habits (and occasionally my schoolwork-finishing habits) follow the same cycle, which I guess is why I seldom finish anything.
Speaking of Feldschlacht, I have to say he reminds me of a friend from an old Ragnarok server. Similar tastes, similar manner of speaking, and I could swear he had that avatar with the blond girl... Even the drama (or what little I know of it) is similar. I guess it doesn't mean anything, but the uncanniness of it all made me go o __o.
I do the RPGMaker thing, as one might assume. I've come up with dozens of game ideas, but only one of them's going anywhere. I'd probably get a lot more done if the work wasn't so onerous. Lately I've been examining the field of forum games. I like the reduction in labor intensity, but most of my ideas are either too simple to be interesting or too slow to be engaging... or both. I think it's a mindset thing. See, I'm a fairly creative kid, but I'm no innovator. The only "original" ideas I have are cheap twists on existing ones. If I could break out of the traditional RPG mindset, I could probably come up with something pretty cool, but I seem to be stuck here. Even my non-RPG ideas are turn-based.
I used to be a pretty witty kid, but I was thinking about it a while ago and it struck me that I haven't said anything funny in ages. Sure, the occasional quip merits a laugh, but I used to be consistently funny. Now I'm lucky to get a "lol". I hope to maintain a constant "mildly amusing" status, but we'll see how that goes.
I'll try to post lots, but most of the threads I thought were cool are long dead. It's those old Game Design & Theory threads that attract me here, y'see - the ones about game balance and making defensive abilities useful and whatnot. Fascinating stuff.
I've got more to say, but I'm coming down with something, so I'm gonna spend some quality time with my SNES...

That is quite a nice avatar you got there.

Great welcome post! And Welcome to RMN!
While necropost is frowned upon, we've let it slide a few times IF the new post is constructive and contributes greatly to the conversation.
So, if you feel you have something worthwhile to add, do it! (Just don't do them all at once! Pick one topic and see if that picks up, and then try a second).

Hmm, can't say I'm the same person, but welcome anyway!

Hey, thanks for the warm reception. I'll hold off on reviving those threads until I have the seniority to get away with it. I don't have worthwhile to contribute right now, anyway. I'll just comb through whatever's active.
author=BlindSight link=topic=2760.msg52557#msg52557 date=1230275188Hey, that's quite a review. Let's hope I can keep that charade up.
You seem like a considerably awesome guy. Welcome to the site! 8]
