SGT M'S PROFILE

Literal misinformation is not an opinion.

My meager understanding is that some of the problems with MV may be the fault of the architecture it's based on (Node Webkit, which was already fairly old when MV was released) so there's no telling if those issues can ever be fully resolved.

With regards to the "indie bubble" popping, I think it's closer to a gold rush that's winding down.

Indeed, it's less of a "burst" and more of a bubble that's been slowly deflating for a few years now. At the very least, indie development can no longer be seen solely as something that is done for money or profit, and for 95% of us, it won't be sustainable. It's something I would never quit my day job for.

On the flip side, it's never been a better time to think of developing games as a hobby or creative endeavor. Since you have the maximum amount of creative control on your projects, you can very well make the game of your dreams more easily now than you ever could, even if it isn't necessarily the game the world needs or wants to see.

Well I got a title screen done...

But I failed to realize that 10-11 hour work days all week would greatly impact my free time so suffice to say I don't think I'll be finishing D:

Sounds like you're using the Steam workshop version of Ace, so it's likely you accidentally downloaded this from the Steam community page.

If you don't want to use the workshop stuff at all (it borks save/load times something fierce), it's Right click VX Ace -> Properties -> Betas -> Original Non-workshop Version. This will disable Cloud stuff too, so keep that in mind.
