Maybe it's because I've never had sex before, but I simply don't see the point in getting together with someone just for the physical gratification. It just seems too shallow!

You'll see. lol

Jesus christ it's like a land of broken dreams in here.

But yeah, some people will make it, many won't. That's how it always is. Doesn't mean you need to shit on everybody that wants to go and do something, though, Kuroi.

lol im being realistic, nothing more, id be lieing to everyone here if i said "oh yes pure talent and hard work gets you into the industry" but thats like 20% of it. you'll need a hell of alot of luck, alot of practice and be prepared to not use that tallent for a good few years if you even get that job. Call me a pessimist and say im putting a downer on people's dreams but its the simple line of truth; the games industry is extreamly hard to get into it, when your in it don't expect to stay there for more than 10 years, all of which of them 10 years you will be jumping around different companies as they go bankrupt, lay people off or find someone else who comes along with more tallent than you; its a brutal buisness thats why you get 'industry vets' at the age of 30, theres a fine line between pessemism and realism; either one is truth.

You're missing the point, though. Companies (very wisely) don't particularly care about the engine or software used to create a profitable game; their interests lie in the merits of the finished products and how it benefits them financially. Your insistence on pinpointing RM as a supposed abomination is silly.

errr no, you go to a company and your trained in a program or engine then your chances of getting the job is higher than the guy not trained, industry companies only care if you can fit in fast and work to the speed that the rest of the team is, the more training you require the more time they lose, the more time they need the more money it costs. the only time that tallent overcomes skills off the bat is when your a designer on the drawing board which noone is starting out. I'm studying it in university; people in industry have told me in person countless times, tallent is required further down the line, to climb the ladder you do lame ass work which a monkey could do.

im not saying that RM is a supposed abomination, but to a company who make mainstream games who your aiming to be employed by will think its an abomination if you like it or not. its like them asking if you can use photoshop and youve replied with 'I can use MS paint'

Why not for RMxP games? Does RMxP gives cancer or something? I am scared now o.o

Seriously, Snes style RPGs still have a large enough fanbase and it isn´t that big investment to try to sell games like that. As Feld said, it is more effective than keep complaining that the market sucks and life is not fair.

lol yeah the fan base is awesome, i love the old style snes games, RMXP style game just doesnt sell even for indie dev companies. if one company grabed its balls and took the dive it doesnt mean that all the other pixel loving indie companies are going to follow, they are likely to stand there and watch that first company land in a spike pit and say "...oh well, nice thought. lets go back to work on that cell phone game"

Both routes can exist buddy, and it will become even more diverse with next generations.
Most ppl from our generation feel the same way as we do, so there is a market. Now, the big companies focus mainly on the newer generation gamers which is another market.

Think of it like comics and cartoons, animation didn´t kill comics and comics didn´t need to kill cartoons to stay alive, they work in parallel.

lol more like Black and white tv with Colour TV.
im just saying it'll die down eventually when the next gens come around, maybe not completely but to the point that the pixel games will be abit dead.

Again, your wrong.

Lys (creator of A Blurred Line) got a job in the industry in exactly this way.

I don't know what you're trying to prove. Your arguments aren't based in SOLID GROUND here.

lol still thats 2 devs, compared to the other 3 million developers all over the world thats really nothing solid. again; tallent aside thats down to luck also, thats like a 2/10'000 change you'll get a job based on RM, thats high hopes. too high.

lol im not that bad :P
im just realistic with the games industry, as much as id love for games to stay in the SNES era they cant, shit; if i could keep games coming in like FF6, chrono trigger and secret of mana id kill the current industry any day for, but its not gonna happen, lets face it :P

parents buy the Wii, players buy the easiet thing to them that is advertised to their faces, consoles. its really that simple.

lol square can burn for all i care, died years ago.
