A moment of silence for a hero, a friend, JKB.

-Prosperity. Rockstar in the making-
I would like to take a moment to remember promising human beings. Specifically JKB, an all star hero in the rpgmaker community from the era of "05". I remember cruising the screen shot topic and always seeing JKB dropping a "bomb" with his slick looking video games.
JKB was well known for posting various videos of "Mystic Lands" which was highly anticipated and desired by many-many-MANY Rpgmaker people in the community. He was a pretty cool dude. Back then you sort of have this fond respect for certain individuals who like to push the envelope when it comes to actual game design. As Mog would put it he "bridged da gap". JKB produced many ideas used in Rpgmaker that was not directly used for creating an RPG. Back in the day there was sort of a clique group of people who sort of made it their business to push RM2k3 to show people you can essentially, create any kind of video game with hard work and dedication. It is sort of staggering to me that there were people like this in "05" and now, just browsing RMN you can see what Rpgmaker has evolved to.
-Mystic Lands-
The RPG that could have been...
-Migal Shinoyu-
A platformer??? What a delight...
-JKB Squadron-
Just shmupin' around in RM2k3.
What a collection of beautiful screen shots!
-Fallout-
A tired hero, his final resting place, JKB now spends his time working on some kind of Mega Man fangame. I am sure after the stress of spending years creating art he just finally let his creativity expire. A loss of respect? Perhaps, but only a little. When you go from Mystic Lands to Mega Man flash, you can understand why. JKB started off using RM and evolved to other programs like Flash. Sadly, it is being used for evil. Still, the few that remember him, keep him in your prayers, your charsets close, because this guy sure inspired a lot of people before the infinite flow of garbage.
How..uninspiring..
I thought about linking more screen shots, videos, progress, etc, but please, visit our old friend through these urls instead!

author=Cielauthor=caluniobetter to be working on a cool inspiring imaginative concept that excites people than to release stupid low quality garbage that nobody really cares about despite it being playable
Yes, I guess the community likes things they can praise without playing. And I'm not being sarcastic.
You just confirmed what I said.

Nostalgia is fun, but the level of "creative" games compared to "uncreative" games (by which you probably mean RTP games, because lolherosrealmsucksamirite?) remains as constant as ever...
no it is obviousl y much less than before but you are like, 14 years old so this is take on the situation is understandable
author=Corfaisusauthor=sbesterCorrect me if I'm wrong but I'm sure he meant that it's better to inspire others with exciting new concepts that branches out into a more productive and creative community, even if it the finished product never comes to fruition, than pump out the same low-grade garbage that we've seen thousands of times before that do little to nothing to benefit the quality of the community.post=236408We'll have to agree to disagree. I only play full and complete games, and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one.author=caluniobetter to be working on a cool inspiring imaginative concept that excites people than to release stupid low quality garbage that nobody really cares about despite it being playable

Wait a minute... we still have people that want to do more with RM than make a poor quality game. Yanfly made three different battle systems and improved the default, and has all kinds of ideas. Heck, I was just watching like 10 videos on YouTube about the different scripts that he made. And what about YDS? Those games of hers are definitely NOT low quality and are quite different. Same goes for Neok's games. And several others on RMN and other sites.
I guess you could say that great games are few and far between, but they do exist. I know I haven't done much to solve the problem in this respect. What should I we do?

Why does playing complete games equal playing bad games? There are games that are good and finished. They are rare, but definitely worth looking for.
*edit* I feel that the disappointment upon learning an awesome game you played/saw will never be completed is much worse than playing a bad or boring complete game.

i'm very sorry for your loss. if there is any way i can fix this issue please, feel free to write to the user "magi"
What is truly sad is how "Art" "Creativity" and "Imaginative" among many others are nothing but buzzwords around here, and only to help the same handful of users mask their tired and spiteful rhetoric... I'm getting so sick of it it's starting to hurt.
should have saved those videos. i was looking for them before i posted this. apparently he wiped them all to showcase his exotic "mega man" game on his youtube channel.

It's a real bloomin' pity his ninja game was never finished, I really liked that game. And I wish he still continued on his Mystic Lands, I was always watching his videos of that, til' he took them down, I was displeased when he did that. D:
