LENE'S PROFILE

First off, I am loving the game! I'm 13 hours in and I've enjoyed making my way through the world and doing all the side-quests.

However, I have no idea where to go at the moment.

I only read the first page so this may be a bit of a tangent, but if you have come out with a working demo/game/prototype you're probably in the top 10% (which is generous) of pretty much any given community. That's the hardest part. You can only get better from there, so I'd take the criticism in stride, ignore the outright haters and remind myself that I've already accomplished something.

With that said, before you get to the demo stage, I'd probably keep my progress on the downlow. Show a few friends you know won't psych you out of continuing to work on your project.

Is Phylomortis still around? Half the battle is parsing the dialogue (no shade...okay, maybe a little) but the actual gameplay should be challenging enough for most people.

I am an unapologetic hip hop fan. Most people's criticisms of the genre come from a place of ignorance of the diversity of the artists who produce hip hop. I also blame Lil' Wayne.

I've recently been listening to Kendrick Lamar. I generally like what I hear but I can't watch him. He does this shuffling thing where he doesn't look the camera in the eye and crosses the line from eccentric to creepy.


J Cole has always been good and he got a record deal and the album from that is really good.


I am skeptical of hip hop/rap going in a more electronic route but Tech N9ne and his dubstep tracks surprised me with how good they were. Technicians is just brilliant.


Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) has some well produced tracks but I can only listen to so much of Camp because he's a grown man and he needs to get over the fact that some black kids said he was acting white and stop rapping about it. It makes so much sense that a lot of his fans are white hipster girls (yeah, I said it, come at me).

We shall.

Your tileset looks great. But the way you placed them makes them look strange.

I'll leave the mapping to the people who are actually competent at it. Now that you mention it however, I think having a good mapper willing to make sample maps with a custom tileset would be a huge help. It would be easy to spot mistakes (missing tiles, awkward positioning, etc.) and then they could suggest things to add that aren't obvious to me (the person who wonders how to use pretty much half the tiles in a given RTP tileset).

I'm focusing on character sets at the moment, but I do have a village tileset that I might want a mapper's help with. Just putting it out there for the future.
