ESTRELLA'S PROFILE

This is one of the most awesome things I've seen in awhile. Bravo!

Despite that I mostly just lurk, I like this community alot. When my interest to make my own RPG picked up again in late 2008 and I decided I was going to actually try to make something, I looked around several game/rpgmaking communities and this was the sole one I joined. I can't really put it into words, but this was the only site that I was entirely comfortable with joining. I've seen some examples of the beahviour noted in the OP, but I don't think it's really that bad; mind you, I've also never been the target myself.

I don't feel I have really contributed anything to this site yet, whether it be meaningful feedback or even a game myself. This isn't for lack of intent - I am working on my own game and I do play other people's games. Playing other people's games is a slow process for me - I only have so much time to spend playing them, and balancing this with making my own game, my other hobbies and my actual life becomes difficult. Alot of the games I have played through so far as well, are the same games that everyone else talks about, which hurts my motivation to add any input myself. If a game is generally accepted as being good and I share this opinion, is it really necessary to just spout the same comments everyone else has been saying?

I suppose I could find games that don't have feedback and play them and provide said feedback, but if a game doesn't grab my interest I don't really have the time to go out of my way. It isn't that I wouldn't like to.

Azn brought up one issue that typically impacts my interest in games - original graphics vs ripped graphics. Battle systems are never really an issue for me, as the majority of games I have played are 2k/3 designed and I don't really expect anything too groundbreaking. But making either original graphics or edits to ripped graphics shows, I dunno, that little extra that the developer cares? However, I know original graphics take a really long time to make - I'm making them for my own game and it's extremely slowing down the process. And that it isn't within everyone's ablities or what some people are setting out to do when making a rpg. Games like Chromatose or Origin always pique my interest and I look forward to being able to download them when available, even without reading anyone else telling me I should. Ascendence is another good example, of a game that uses edits - it helps me form a relationship with the characters if I haven't already seen them in another game.

I played through the entirety of the demo a year ago, man! Can't wait for whenever it is eventually finished

Only if you agree to start adding u's in words they belong in

like colour

(Actually I lied, I don't do that either)

All the changes made since the first screenshot make it look so much better,
