BROKENH'S PROFILE

mawk is mawk, don't worry about it

I am the kind of designer who spends way too much time and effort on the parts of game design that I'm bad at. Or, well, honestly, I'm not bad at graphics and programming, I just sort of hate them. And so I take fifty times longer at them than I should due to procrastination, and I stop doing them as soon as I've reached the bare minimum required (and sometimes sooner). Every time I've quit a game it's been because of graphics (halloween event this year included). My main RMXP project is like a year and a half behind schedule (maybe more) because of the mental block created by the fact that I know how much graphics I still need to do.

The part of game design I enjoy the most, as some of you can probably guess, is designing battles. Creating the gameplay flow and the difficulty and the balance and the engagement and the fun. Trying to trigger those little puffs of fire that go off in your brain as a player when you get that rush of momentary success, and to trigger that blanket of relief you feel when you've overcome a challenge and suddenly realize that you're six inches from your screen and you can probably sit back down now. And trying to trigger that drive to keep playing so you can keep getting those feelings.

I'm more about making the game as you go, I try not to dwell too hard in game development. If there is something I like to have added, then I'll put it in the game.

Story wise, I just think as I go as well, as long as I keep going on that same path and don't stray from it in my mind, then I won't have to re-think certain points, it's a god send sometimes, but it can put me in a bit of a roadblock too, because certain points may requires heavy amount of eventing. ><;

So far I've noticed my main forte seems to be offending people. I guess times have changed since I personally was in HS and college. Many people seem more sensitive and seem much easier to rile up. There are these new unsaid rules in gaming that have apparently changed since I was gone. (Careful about showing off that fan service,son! That there is misogyny and pointless to the story line!)

Maybe I'm like Suda 51 with less talent then? I notice whenever he comes out with something the "mainstream gaming journalists" are pretty quick to chastise him. Gigolo mode in Killer Is Dead certainly sparked a lot of controversy. Hitting a hooker with a car? Fine! A mode where you seduce women while trying to not get caught looking at their breasts? How terrible! Time to break out that trendy moral superiority!

would you mind not dragging that chapped, mawk-torn ass of yours into every topic from here on out? wear your wounds with stoic pride, and learn the lessons they're there to teach you.

the first lesson is not to do a swan dive off the handle and make yourself into some visionary martyr over a small amount of criticism. it's easy to frame things in such a way as to pretend to yourself that you're a unique, special snowflake being crushed by mundanity, but as appealing a fantasy as that might be, it's really only a method of avoiding self-improvement by pushing your own flaws onto other people.

One of the areas in my games is a trailer park and I want it so that the trailers actually look like trailers because right now they just look like buildings made from scrap metal. Does anyone know where I could find a trailer park tileset?
