I really didn't mean to cause a scuffle and derail the thread with this. I certainly never meant to imply I was calling you stupid or anything terrible like that. I just don't think there's more to say regarding programming this stuff. I don't want to bury posts talking about actual screens like PhantasmaX's lovely screen or Sidewinder's funky fallout-inspired skeuomorphic interface. I'm so sorry if my posts and ensuing scuffle derailed things.

I can't speak for PhantasmaX, but there's no hard feelings on my end.

And, thanks. Haha, funky, eh? I think that's a good word for it.

Abrupt Ending Party

This looks like it could be pretty fun. Count me in.

Been working on the battle system for my game some more. So far there really isn't much to show off, but all the buttons animate like they're supposed to.




Also wow. I don't really have much to add that hasn't been said already, Orange, but that looks incredible.

Looking for a copy style of zelda but isn't actually zelda

It's a bit old, but there's always Star Fox Adventures.

Reading about the Mary Sue in literature has made me super paranoid about the characters I write.

Yeah, his character actually has to overcome challenges for one episode. Then he absorbs an omnipotent being and gains its power, and then he never makes a single mistake again for the entire series and everyone he meets pledges their allegiance to him and/or falls in love with him.
I felt like a massive tool watching the first episode so I don't think I'll ever try to continue with the series, but I did read the wiki and I saw this:

Spoilers, obviously:
On his way back to Tempest, Rimuru ran into Hinata Sakaguchi, burgeoning Hero, and the Emperor's personal Knight Captain. Rimuru found himself within a massive magic barrier that prevented his use of magic.

After an intense battle, which included the absorption of Hinata's sword via his newly awakened skill , Rimuru managed to escape by allowing Hinata to destroy one of his body doubles with the skill .

Upon returning to the city, Rimuru's faithful servants attempted to hide the awful truth to him. Over 100 of his subjects, including his bodyguard Shion, lied in the streets dead. This was the work of the Monster Subjugation Group of the Church, known as the Blood Shadows. This was a particularly sadistic group that took pleasure in destroying their enemies. Shion gave her life protecting the children as she was struck with The Ogre Eater magic sword.

Due to an off comment regarding Rimuru's three rules, the monsters did not harm the humans who invaded, which made Rimuru feel responsible for the devastation.

It's the most hilariously mary-sue bullshit ever.
Also in that blog I sent you, Marty conquers the Star Wars galaxy and builds multiple new Maw Installations. The blog specifically points out that he didn't just build some deep space research stations, but rather recreated the black hole phenomena.

I also think staffed the research labs with clones of himself, or something?

EDIT EDIT:
Oh and I think by this point he has an entire fleet of Eclipse II class Super Star Destroyers (which he is then using to conquer the multiverse). I don't know how much you know about Star Wars but the Eclipse II is... pretty big:

This was the video that got me paranoid about mary sues.

There's a lot of contradictions and bad research here. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. He strikes me as someone who's really more of an entertainer, rather than someone who's actually informed about the topics he's trying to cover.

Hmm...problem with those is that they're actually set in the school. Do you see them learning anything, or are they already just good at everything, always getting top marks without any justification?

I'm not sure to be honest. I've never actually read either, I just know a lot about them because they both got discussed a lot, back in the day.

If so, they're still Mary Sues.

Yeah, pretty much.

Normally I don't really like the term, because nobody has ever really come up with a good definition for what does and doesn't make a Sue, but there are a few cases I feel very comfortable using it.

Ah! In the story, she's just so good at everything, the Academy just automatically passed her on everything, bypassing training and education. EDIT: That's why she's able to be an officer on the Enterprise at 16, the age cadets would begin training.
Oh. Well at least both Rose Potter and Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way are safe.

No, Chuck Norris actually had to work to be a badass. Training and education are two elements that objectively negate the Mary Sue trope.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but in Star Trek, don't you need to go to the Starfleet Academy to be an officer? Which would mean Lieutenant Mary Sue would have had both training and education.

Main character from Slime Datta Ken, to name a popular recent anime. I like the anime despite that, though, not because of it. The way magic works is interesting, and the way the setting evolves is interesting, and the political drama is interesting. Most of the characters, including the omnipotent protagonist, are boring as heck.

Well, I watched a bit of the first episode. The main character is a 37 year old virgin who reminisces about crapping his pants in school, and begs his friend to delete his hard drive as he lies dying. I get where you're coming from, but I'm not really sure I'd consider him a 'literal perfect character'.

At least, he's nowhere near as bad as something like this.
