ABITE'S PROFILE

So I opened the topic "Freedom" expecting it to be about this, but it was about getting out of uni lol.

Since we had a topic about how much time we spend on the computer/internet, I'm curious if anyone knows about this and what they think. It's a program made to stop your internet access.... Sounds weird, but it's meant to cut out the distraction when working on art, code, writing, etc.

You set the amount of time to turn it off for, then reboot if you change your mind. Since you have to reboot, makes you less inclined to go online.

I think this is a great idea as I'm very easily distracted by it. Unfortunately, it's only for Macs.

What do you think? Will you/do you use this? Why or why not?

Hey Guys!! I thought I'd start off my very first post with an intro!

Let's see, what can I say about myself? I've made games in rpg maker ages and ages ago, took a break, now I plan to get back into it.

I'm debating to stick with either rm2k or rm2k3, both of which I'm familiar with, or possibly get into VX. I have no idea how well that went over, I was pretty shocked/excited to see it was released, but I downloaded it and it's a bit foreign to me. I want to make a game with the map as a panorama with only a few bits and pieces of chipsets here and there. Would VX be okay for this?

Game making aside, I love music. I'm in a band and play a few different instruments. I listen to lots of different types (indie, electronic, ambient, shoegaze, rock, punk, ska, classical and other corny stuff sometimes to 8))

I love to draw. I think that's what got me into game making to begin with. My least favourite type of art that ties in with games is charset/chipset making >:(

It'd be great to get to know you guys, as game making crowds seem to be generally cool people! :D

Anything I should know about these forums? Any head's up?? (It's a scary forum out there)

Cheers! 8)
