RADNEN'S PROFILE

I had recently overhauled a lot of this game. Production is quite slow, but it will be complete. Interesting enemies, and stuff only stand in my way.

I still need to make a shop.
I also need to make an interesting inventory screen.

And then more mapping and what-not. I should release a screen soon.

. As a matter of fact, they are helping to take PC gaming back from oppressive and shitty DRM that only really punish the real users.

You mean honest users, right?

You know what it is. RTP/REFMAP, these can quite possibly be used well. While I'm new here, I have indeed browsed through many games and It's just that what gives RTP such a bad name is all the bad games. I guess emotions change when you play a good game, and suddenly graphics don't matter. But from a non-in-game viewpoint I'm thinking to myself that a person who used RTP to make say 7 dragons, and one who used it to make heros realm suddenly says to my eyes that it doesn't take much for me to say are these.... related? But of course they aren't! Far from it in fact.

I will forever associate RTP w/ heroes realm. Other games would just be judged by their atmosphere. It would feel degrading If I go make any game with RTP, it would mar any good game made with it if mine happens to suck. Just like those who use FF sprites and fail at making the game because what they asked for was either too much or out of their scope. (As a side note RTP is usually considered the first-timers chipset, good games break away from using this and always offer something new or different).

How does this relate to Kongregate games? At least those REFMAP graphics aren't side-by-side in a long list of games that use the same exact graphics like many of the games here do.

Why do I get the feeling that if custom graphics aren't used it comes down to *just* RTP/REFMAP/Chrono/FF/SoM? They seem so overused. I mistook a screenshot of one game with another here!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

winner!
feld!

Not quite. Let me put my perspective a bit more into focus.

I guess I'm getting hobbyism and independent game creation mixed up. World of goo has nothing on those games, nor does Super Meat Boy, Emberwind, etc. You won't see those games here. In the actual gaming market those games won't fly. But for this place Feld wins on his arguments. They are very solid and Ciel did put it best. But I'm not from that train of thought, so sorry. Great interdependent games are made sometimes by one person. And by your guys' standards he must be DAMN or CRAZY good, when in reality hes still just a small fry. Who put his skills to better use than ripping or whatever.

My brother has steam games on his computer I want to play on mine: Fallout NV, for one. But I can't if he's always logged in (downloading, or playing other steam games like Black ops) and hell I ain't paying for another copy of this game when I'm only less than 5 feet from the damn box.

FUCK STEAM.

...I'm touching the box right now.
