ARCHEIA_NESSIAH'S PROFILE

I will be honest about GW that I liked its competitive nature and how everyone didn't really hold back then.

When Medieve told me he was disappointed at me over a piece of artwork I did and he knew I could do better (and the cost that the mascot character we were saving there had been injured), it is still one of my driving forces today. And I even got a feedback that the coloring I did for a character's hair looked like liquid and that drove me even further to improve myself. Nowadays (not RMN in particular but in general), it feels like if you try to legitimately give criticism to someone, it's always taken as an attack and you can't be honest about what you feel.

And that in turn causes "cliques" where you can be as brutal as you can with a friend. Decky and Liberty can chew on me and it's vice versa. But I feel like I cannot do the same in public without seeming like an asshole because I can't be nice with my words.

10 years passed, we waited for a game
that would one day
show us how to make a game

What came forth from the shadows
were Mafia games
and curious little things, called screenshot topics
With each day that pass,
poor development portal remained untouched.



And I ran out of ideas.
This is for liberty:

Someone left GamingW and handed the reins to Steel. And they were one of those who wanted GamingW to be less RPG Maker focused and more indie game focused. I think part of that crowd hates RPG Maker. It failed. And then I heard he died of Cancer.

It was Drule who took over. Due to server costs, he had to delete a part of the forum and nobody backed it up, so it lost most of the stuff. I think the Salt World was like an inside joke in a specific part of the forum and became the new name because we can't keep the domain name. It was a haze. And a lot of people didn't like that and it just went down.

...Cause, I really loved GamingWorld! During 2007 - (I have this bookmarked somewhere) - in the art forums, there was a dude who was going to art college, who would upload his 3 hour facial plane studies onto GamingW's art forums - and these were really cool to look at, cause not only did it show, how much hard work and effort paid off towards honing your craft - but how truly varied GamingW was, as a community:

No matter what forum you went into on GamingW, there was always someone who was particularly good at something.

Also you're talking about either Medieve or Mr. Delicious (Dave Rapoza). They're pretty awesome and helps artists all around. There's even Woofycakes/Corel. And I love GW around 2007 too because we have Art Wars, Art Competition and Coding Competitions and you get to see cool shit implemented back then. Also RPGs Alex games man.

Decky achieved good work. *salutes*
