ALPHAOMEGA247'S PROFILE

Oh no! I hope that the cat comes back. My cat used to like to dart outside whenever the door opened, but she never ran away, thankfully. The one time she got out and nobody noticed, we found her just sitting on some bricks in front of the house, watching the birds... She doesn't hunt. The one time she actually caught a bird, she didn't know what to do with it, and the bird just hopped away. It didn't even fly. It hopped. XD. But I digress. I really hope the cat comes back!

It's not 1993, you don't have to hyphenate online any more.

I don't have to do so, I choose to do so. There are many words in English which can be hyphenated according to personal preference, and often hyphenation provides greater clarity over non-hyphenation. If you choose to only use the non-hyphenated version all power to you, but don't seek to correct me for a perfectly grammatical and acceptable version. I use them interchangeably depending on the situation, in this I was stressing annoyance and therefore accentuated the 'on' component of the term.

I still say you were wrong about the spelling of petaQ, though. :P

Making maps is probably one of my favorite things to do while making a game. I like the feeling of building the entire world from the ground up. I have no real process for doing it, though. I'll be making the game and realize that I need a forested area that leads from a village to a larger city, and then I just go for it. I'll usually start by drawing a trail/path/road through the area (if there is a trail/path/road), and then build up the world around it. I strive to make each area as unique and interesting to look at as possible, throwing in as much detail as I can to make the world seem alive.

My maps are usually 60x60 tiles. A forest might contain four or five such maps. That being said, I don't usually fill every single inch of real estate. I only detail what the player is going to see. Because I don't have some grandiose vision of the entire world, this unused space gives me some extra room in case I need to add a road to another map somewhere down the line.

That being said, I am anal about continuity between areas. If there's a tree halfway off the screen near the exit to one area, the other half of the tree better appear near the entrance to the next area. My maps are all 60x60 for a reason--placed side-by-side every single one of them will knit together to form a single, uniform world. So my process isn't entirely random. As the world grows, and maps start falling in line next to each other, I'll know that I *need* to have an exit here or there, and that helps the process along.

Granted. I don't know what the wish was, but it probably involved me taking you somewhere, and I would have foiled your antics with a very witty response.

I wish that my muscles didn't rip my shirt every time I flexed.

^ How dare you even think about stopping your medicine early! I'm sure that the pharmacist told you that you absolutely MUST finish all of the prescribed medicine no matter what, even if you feel better. It's common sense. Speaking of common sense, taking seiromem seriously is totally whack, man. I mean, there's an errant apostrophe in his avatar.

< Failed to convince JJJ7 to go to work for me. And not only did I go, I stayed late because I'm dumb.

v Needs to do laundry.

I ban MajoracanKing for... .... ....I don't think I can ban someone who thinks I've come up with the most awesome quote ever. I need loyal minions to boost my ego. Bah, I can still ban him for trying to take all of my hardly earned cash, though.
