Attention: Gaming World Refugees

author=rcholbert link=topic=1022.msg14325#msg14325 date=1209948478
I have no PM in my inbox. :(

??

I'll try again then.

Attention: Gaming World Refugees

I don't want to start another debate or whatever, and I've PMed holbert about it, but this topic is just... yeah. No debate.

And you are...? (THE INTRODUCTION THREAD)

This introduction thread seems pretty nice, so I'll properly introduce myself.

This time, in FACTS FORM, just because it really gets what you all want to know the most :D

Name: Mr.Nemo :)
Age: 19 (twenty within a month or two)
Nationality: I'm from Sweden, and as a bonus, 100% SWEDISH :0
Occupation: Musician (well, I do have a part-time job, but right now, I'm kinda unemployed :L)
Interests: Music. Music. Music. Oh, and making games :), sometimes! Really, I like anything that's creative in some manner.
Talents: heh, now I'm going to brag. I play in two rock bands, and I can handle singing, guitar, bass and drums. A Jack-of-all-trades, this goes for everything I do. I can sprite half-assed, I write half-assed music, I draw pretty crappy and so on.

Here's a scary picture for you to look at:


Alright let's do this "Favourite things"... thing.
Favourite music: I don't do genres, I do bands. Namedropping bands is a really, really bad idea; I listen to alot of music, and a widerange of it (actually every genre imaginable besides Eurovision songcontest material and the swedish genre known as "Dansband"). But my favourite bands, that are constantly mentioned whenever I talk about music would be Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Dead Can Dance and Ulver. As I said, there's a boatload of more, but I don't think it would fit in this post.
Favourite movie(s): Bad idea. I could make a list of serveral hundreds of movies and still not be done. But, uh a FRACTIONED AMOUNT of them would be, Bladerunner, Army of the twelve monkeys, Evil Dead I & Evil Dead III: Bruce Campbell vs. the Army of Darkness, The Usual Suspects, Gay Niggers from Outer Space, Donnie Darko, The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde Inseglet, because BERGMAN ROCKS AND YOU KNOW IT), Night of the Living Dead, Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai, CAN'T STOP THE.... POP! Eh, there's too much and I just can't decide what to put; but whatever movie you like, I've probably seen it.
Favourite (commercial) game: Eh... hard to say. Fallout I/II, Baldur's Gate, Age of Empires, Warcraft I/II/III, Red Alert and some oldies I don't remember the names of. FF7 still floats my boat, I think.

Favourite: Non-commercial game
: That'd have to be Dink Smallwood or some other game I haven't played for years.
Favourite RM game: A Blurred Line, The Burning Grail and Sunset over Imdahl. Sorry, no more, no less :)
Favourite Books: Do Android Dream of Electical Sheep (Philip K. Dicks), The Hobbit and LOTR (Tolkien), The Narnia Series (C.S. Lewis)... uh, I wish I was an intellectual person who read lots, but I'm not, sadly.

That's all I can think of now. Hay guys.

Screenshot Thread With One Eyebrow and a Golden Tooth

Verridianne, stop talking and start hyping your awesome game :(

or something, Y'know, I've always had a thought of making something in the industrial-age-fashion. And yours looks pretty damn good.

I see where both you and Karsuman are coming from. But yeah, there's no point in arguing over this on a completely different website.

I guess you have to take the staff for what they are, simply. Personally, I have nothing against them.

But yes, lock the topic.

[Final Demo] Dragon Fantasy II

Hurry download! I want 4 berserkers!

3 :(

but that's a good idea of a strategy....

isn't it? :(

So you don't think I am a part of the RM community? That's news to me.

The only reason they "bashed you" was that they couldn't make you realize what they were trying to do. I mean, during the time I read the ongoing arguments, my support for the idea wavered; at first, I thought it seemed like a biased, really shitty idea. This, however, all cleared up with some serious discussing and sorting things out.

[Full Game] Demon Legacy

Yes, I agree; this is an instant classic. Although I gotta admit, I'm still stuck at the same place as I was in the 50% demo :) (fighting sharn w. da ballsacks of doom)

NIGHTBLADE:
ImmortalDreamer, apparently the things I say are considered "trolling" to them, when I said to the contrary, well I got banned for it. Take away from that what you will.

Last night on IRC I was told I was being trolled by community staff, as absurd as that sounds. Apparently, the community staff on GW are in no way obligated to behave themselves; which is kind of ironic, don't you think?

Sarevok came to visit too! After calling me a "cunt" for "trolling" he quickly departed back to whatever it was he was doing.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to bring this debate here; but debate over this goes in an endless loop. An endless loop where one side constantly mis understands the other. I can only speak for myself; but here's what I agree with.

Great: I'd love a higher quality of all types of games.
Great: I'd like more people to come to the site
Great: I'd love to be scrutinized to a higher standard

I don't know how many times one must state this to these people, but there's NOTHING wrong with the goal, but how do they go about this? They have trash talking, trolling "community staff" belittling the maker Game and Demo was founded on? When a disagreement is raised, suddenly the person is "cunt" who "only likes crappy FF clones"? It just looks like the other side is very out of touch and refuses to see game and demo's side of the argument, passing off as ignorance.

I don't see it as a problem that a site's staff have opinions on matters, and the way they express it, it's up to them.

But, Magical Negro, for one actually mentioned you and Demon Legacy, as a good example of a devoted developer who put out a lengthy qualitative RMgame.

Also, how could they change what they want to achieve, by other means, in your suggestion?

This is the thread I made in G&D to bring awarness to what is going on.

That was... completely unnecessary.

Strangeluv is a MOD in the community, he is pretty much required to suck up the BS and accept it.

Yes, he's a mod. Does it matter? What bullshit are you talking about?

Of course it is. But not at the expense of GW's existing core members who have been loyal for years. Their idea is fundamentally "Okay we're sweeping you all under the rug so we can open to door to better people!" Maybe it just doesn't matter to you, and that's fine, but try to understand our position.

But that's not what they are doing. I'm going to post an exact quote from what the results of the changes will be;

Konix:hey maybe you should actually read the posts in this topic because nothing is being watered down. You're still going to have a forum for hype and screenshot topics. The only change is that we're creating an extra forum for more broader aspects of indie gamemaking.

idk I maybe its just be but I dont see how expanding the site's gamemaking focus beyond rm2k3 is watering anything down.
