RADNEN'S PROFILE

WIP, why would you create a website that consumes your everyday life? Is there no one else? I mean you made a large game hosting website that rivals other sites, and has already outdone GW. A website like this must require a staff, not one dedicated individual like yourself. You Tube ain't strung on one mans back.

Damn. I can't believe this website will fail because it fell on the back of a man not herculean enough to support it. Not that you couldn't, but that it shouldn't. It should have had a team.

For everything you may know about web design, you surely know next to shit about maintaining a site.

>:(

(And I still haven't released my pet project Blockman yet...)

Guys its likely the April 2nd won't be undone because he might have not renewed the web certificate, thus putting an ultimatum on this scenario. Its impossible to bargain back, in other words.

Turning off the forums would simply be ignoring issues.

Turning off the site means ignoring it too, in fact its ignoring everything. I don't honestly know where you are coming from.

Its because you let shitty assed RM'rs ruin it. Great I got your attention, let me wax it over:

Many true indie devs that create XBLA games or other Indie games (Braid, World of Goo, Zeno Clash, Eets, Avernum, Escape Velocity, Minecraft, etc...) Are noteworthy and respected. These devs hold their own, are polite and very formal about their behavior. This was what WIP would have wanted out of us, but instead we got 14-year-somethings first time RPG "Maeker" idiots who don't know what passion is or common sense.

Personal shout-out to Archeia, Ocean, Strangeluv, Sailerius, Neok, Kentona, Beaker, Erilex, and few others who have indeed gone out of their way to be true entrepreneurs and inspirations. However, many have stayed within the limits of RM, with Beaker being a true notable exception for his amazing RTD:E, which captures the true indie spirit of graphical freedom and limitless ingenuity.

Being a Sphere (or for those who use ika) user, I feel like a truer game dev, like Beaker who strives to be like the other indie games I listed above, like Braid. With RM, its harder to get the same respect. How many RM games use a wii mote? Beaker (once again) was able to do that in Sphere. How many RM games can be played through a browser? None.

What I'm saying is RM isn't bad (look at my shout out list), its just that many people tend to not be creative with it, opting for a run-of-the-mill story or graphics (RTP, RTP like, or holy shit rips. The makers of Braid would be caught DEAD for ripping graphics) Sphere doesn't - much like Game Maker - have a "RTP", which forces you to strive for original graphics (even if shitty) because thats where true game-dev spirit lies.

TIG source looks like a good indie place, I feel like joining it. So bye, bye RMN, wished its people were better.

If anybody contends these points they do't know shit. If your feelings were hurt then go away its likely you were a source for RMs demise. What I said was very level headed.

Ghaa, why is it that any VX screen looks good in thumbnail, and then when zoomed in it looks very blocky? (Yeah, I know old NES games were very blocky, but these at least try to look realistic).

It should be a couple of electrons down a wire, or binary... We've kinda moved away from paper mail. And also, some apps use a floppy for 'save' when that too should be electrons or binary (but in order of little endian processors).
