BROKENH'S PROFILE

Thanks for the contribution,Mawk! It's as impressive as your user score and angry pseudo intellectual rants as a keyboard warrior!

But as a pokemon you'd be awesome! "Snarky asshole hipster cat with diplomatic immunity on RMN, I choose you!"

We'd be unstoppable! We'd decimate all other poke-trainers and pokemon in our wake! F%&k squirtle and charmander! The new age is here and it's MAWK!

stop bolding everything

Sorry Ken. I have bad eyes. It wasn't an intentional attempt to annoy anyone. Though I think I'm seeing signs of anal retentiveness. The "little things" stir you up that much?

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.

(this topic would be really useful for finding partners)

I don't think I'm there yet. Those "fiery sparks of fun" I mean. Truthfully I'd prefer my games to be less "archaic" with some sort of modern charm. I know I wanted to originally do a live action battle system for my rpg but that would have required finding a script and inserting it. (I would have messed that up good.) I also think I need to work on "challenge" and "balance". Lastly, I'd prefer to tell my stories without the heavy handed exposition. There's only so much text people can read before wanting to put their heads through their monitors!

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. ><;

Spontaneity can be good. My first couple attempts to create Gutterdelve went poorly for the very reason I'd try to write a heavy handed text document before making it. When I tried planning out everything "nothing" got done. lol.

Much love to everyone involved! Just don't push yourselves to the point of starvation,dehydration,and over exhaustion,okay? lol.
