MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.

I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.

"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

- TW/IFS, "All The World Is A Stage Dive"
Iron Gaia
As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

Changing Parallax Backgrounds In RMVX (now in sentence case)

Unfortunately, I am not qualified to make one, and have yet to find one.

I mean, this can't be that difficult, right?

(BUMP!)

What do you think makes an RPG?

Jeez, this is a tough one.

I don't think anyone can give any answer to this question that wouldn't be at least partially right and at least partially wrong. There are literally that many different interpretations and answers to this question. It's like asking about the meaning of life or some shit like that.

For me, I first and foremost want a convincing "fantasy" world to escape to; even if that world is our modern world, it still needs to be rendered convincingly. Secondly I need the "numbers" bit, because I LOVE TO WIN, especially if those numbers are accompanied by some kind of options for character development; I like at least some choice in what my guys can do. Thirdly, it needs good characters and story; this is the hardest one to pull off. It's why I get more into games like Morrowind/Oblivion (you make the character!) nowadays, while the newer JRPGs really need to fight to keep my attention. (I had to "try" to get through Lost Odyssey and FFXII and couldn't, the same experience I have with many RPG Maker games.)

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

They keep tabs on sites like ours and GW because they occassionally produce a really awesome game with widespread appeal.

I don't know why shit like charers barkrey has fucking "widespread appeal" and wilfred the hero doesn't. Seriously, like, of all the really, really good RM games that the community has produced in the last eight years, I don't know why that is the only one people outside of the community know about. How about a wikipedia article for Three The Hard Way, you guys. Why aren't execs tripping over each other to release Sunset Over Imdahl or The Way for DS? Why can't I buy an ABL T-Shirt?


Can I get some love over here?

<3

Ya I kinda wonder what the RM criteria is for that site too. I know for a fact that there are lots of better games than mine that I don't see there!

Played Mage Duel tonight and loved it! Some of those battles got right down to the wire it was very exciting at times. I left a more in depth mini review on the main topic for ya with tiny nit picks.

Thanks for the feedback, bobzor! Would you mind telling me what kind of guy you played? (I'm curious how the different classes are stacking up for people, I've only really gotten helpful data on healers and evokers.)

Changing Parallax Backgrounds In RMVX (now in sentence case)

Anyone? Sorry for the bump, but I'm kind of at a standstill on my game until this issue is resolved (or I learn it can't be resolved, and move on.)

:The Game Making Drive/Blog Topic

Yesterday (9/29):
Finished the second major series of cutscenes in my mystery project.

Today:
Made the next four enemy mages that you will fight in the first four story battles of Act II of Mage Duel.

Music in an RPG Maker game

Sorry, ever since Mage Duel came out I have LOVED ME THE CAPSLOCK, AND HARD.

Seriously, though, I think you and ever other RPG Maker dude and all sell yourselves short. I've done "real coding", and while it is LESS CONVENIENT it presents the same basic challenges as " "coding" " in RM. By the way, what I am putting in quotes is the fact that people think of RM programming as "coding" in quotes.

Going To Be Away For Awhile (Need Some ME Time)

This is fairly staggering. You are posting your drama about two other forums here?

Why on God's earth would you not at least edit this post to only include what's relevant to RMN?

Whatever. Anyway, bye, I guess. Again.

[Demo] MAGE DUEL

Kentona:
If that's the way you feel, that's fine. Someone else can hopefully do it, otherwise it won't be done, and I'll live. I've done the work. I made the game. That's doing the work. Promotion is just a sideline in bullshit. Besides, topics are made at GW all the time by third parties. I know, I was a member there for 4-5 years. This wasn't any more likely to cause a random lynching then, well, anything else was at GW. Anyway, I really don't want to get into an argument about this, but I did feel some explanation was in order (you are an admin here!) so I PMed you. The contents of that message were private. You know, like a private message.

Anyway, how about them Mage Duels? ::yanks collar anxiously::

Seriously, I am now making an enemy based on Craze's build. (I'd like to name him; Craze, what did you name your guy?)



The rest of you, send in your builds and I can make enemy mages using the same strategy and name them after your dude or lady. I'd turn this into a big advertising gimmick/promotional drive, but I don't have the energy right now, maybe later.

Questions you always wanted to ask other members, but felt too lazy or awkward to do so.

WIP.Because he has power and influence <_<;

Watch out, Ness you may cause him to be aroused. :P

What are you upset or worried about?

Shit, my girlfriend just did the same thing, cost her only $40 bucks.

Anyway, my stomach still hurts, and shocker, I'm still unemployed.
