HAPPY'S PROFILE

Hey guys & gals! I haven't been super active here for a year or so, so I was wondering what everyone has been up to and who can still be found here?

I'm doing pretty good myself, even though I am currently unemployed and my latest serious relationship broke half a year ago. Where it comes to relationships, I'm pretty much enjoying the freedom and having all the time for myself and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to move in together with a woman again.

As for work, I'm spending a lot of time improving myself at creating music, so I'm still striving to get employed as a composer some day in the future, but until you've got a lot of practice under your belt, you can't really make a living with it, so I'll be stuck in other sort of part-time jobs for a good while, still.

On my free time (which is all that I have now), yeah, composing video game music, taking some more theory classes, and I recently started studying japanese again, too, and I'll try to stick to it this time around, so that I can actually become fluent at it someday.

Games? I've been playing Banished and Exit Fate(!!) and my 3DS. Latest game I've finished is probably XCOM, which is an excellent game if you're fan of tactical RPGs (which it reminds a lof of, though I'm not sure of its specific genre.)

"RM Scene?" Well, as I said, I'm composing stuff, which might see daylight towards the end of the year or sometime next year - mostly distributable resources.

As for RMN, I'm glad to see a lot of improvements on the site, though where did latest posts and statuses disappear from the community tab!? Now I actually have to open the community page to access them. :(

Also, I'm looking forward to joining the next mafia game.

What about the rest of you? And Is Forever's End dead for good? Is there much new kickstarter vaporware? When was the last actual meaningful event hosted on the site? Are Chronology of the Last Era and Beloved Rapture still really alive?

The producer of Steins;Gate and Masahiro Ando as the director? These guys have a really good team with a lot of potential to come up with something great.

I too would like to see more than 1 episode however, though if they get this funded it's not unlikely that other investors could become interested in expanding their concept with a longer series.

I'd definitely pledge if I had any money on me right now.

For some reason the .OGG of Cool Stuff doesn't loop as well as I hoped it would. Feature or bug?

Hey there! Are you listening to the .OGG version of the song in RMVX / RMVXACE or in game?

I checked the .ogg version of the song in RMVX Ace and it's looping seamlessly for me. Is anyone else encountering a problem with this particular song?

The looping might not be present with all other media softwares.

Oh, that's the problem. Yeah, I had it playing in another program. Sorry for bugging you about this.

No problem! If you want to listen to slightly longer versions of the songs outside the rpg maker programs then you can download the MP3 version for that!

Great! Now if we could delete files in the thumbnail view still.

I'm pretty sure if Kentona thought he could get away with it without people crying bloody murder, RMN wouldn't even have forums any more, so don't expect too much of a change in that direction.

I think you are confusing me with WIP. I love the forums.

The reality is that we came too late into the game and other sites became established in their userbase and scripters and we are playing catch-up.

Just so you know, the thing we are competing with moreso that other RM forums are personal blogs/tumblrs of scripters. That's where the superstar scripters really live. There's a whole network of them.

Maybe that's the next step RMN takes - userprofiles (akin to gameprofiles). Submit a "Scripter user profile" that you manage with blog posts and submissions and whatnot and get notices and subscribers and credit to gameprofiles. Or maybe a "Player user profile" and that's where you showcase your LPs and LTs and reviews. Or maybe a "Artist user profile" with art and resources. Or a Music profile etcetc... Scripter, Music, Art, Player etc would be your userprofile "genre".

Then I can do stuff like have a listings, userprofile featurettes on the frontpage, notifications, subscriptions, stats, etc..

I don't know, just spitballin'

This sounds really good! I think you should definitely consider this idea further. It would be awesome to have the site support all game developers, even if they didn't have a game of their own to upload.

Right now tumblr is pretty much "the place for it", and not just for the scripters. It would be much handier if something like tumblr profiles were integrated to RMN as it would help developers communicate and make contacts.
