You see not a bird but an American lady who likes other ladies. Oscillates between shy as a mouse and babbling violently, seemingly at random.
I like badasses. I like babes. I like badass babes the best. Okay...actually I like doggoes the very best, but I aspire to make games about badass babes is my point.
I use music from bands and artists in the free games I make: the frustrated filmmaker in me is very enamored of scoring scenes with rock'n'roll soundtracks Scorcese or Tarantino style. In addition to being a time honored tradition in cinema, this has a history in AAA videoogames as well (for a really great use of it, see Bioshock: Infinite). If I was a millionaire, I'd totally license these songs so I could actually use them legally.

I knew literally nothing about any of this.
And I still know literally nothing about any of this because I don't have time to read this thread.
(I realize this is not my best post.)

Fame & Anonymity In The RM Community
Unsure if this is the right forum, if not mods feel free to move.
This is an "idle thoughts" piece, but it strikes me that we don't know anything about the most well known content creators in our community. I don't think we have any special right to know I just think it's kind of weird.
Demographics don't matter a lot to us because all are interactions are online and 90% of them surround videogames. So not knowing if a user's male, female, American or from New Zealand, Asian or Black, etcetera is the norm. (Now our queerness on the other hand seems to be the one piece of demographic information we have proudly on display.)
But if you look at creators like Yanfly & Aekashics, their stuff is used in a plurality, probably a majority, of all games developed with the RPG Maker engine. They have 100s of Patrons as they rightly deserve. And--and if I'm just being an idiot and missing like an extremely obvious "About Me" page or two, please do tell me--I have no idea who these people are. They basically prebuilt like half of the game I'm developing and I know nothing about them. I couldn't tell you what country YF lives in or what Aekashics' native language is. Hell, I've been using YF scripts since 2008 and I didn't know if YF was a he or a she until he fucking retired (just now), and I'm still not 100% sure I'm using the right pronoun. I get the impression that Aekashics is a guy but I wouldn't bet on it.
I realize that some of the elite among us (i.e. Archeia et al.) have access to these peoples' inner circles and know a lot more of their personal information, because they're friends. But to the general end users of the content they're making, they're essentially anonymous: no race, no nationality, always good English but non-native speakers, unknown native language, unclear gender. It's (to me, at least) a fascinating paradox. I wonder among other things about the decision these creators made to be largely anonymous and what factors informed that. Some of the most famous creators in our midst are also very anonymous.
I am 97% sure there are at least a few other examples of this exact phenomenon besides the two big ones I mentioned, I'm just too lazy to hunt them down right now.

Optional Alternatives - A Different Substitute
I like Darken's thinkpiece threads because they make me feel like I'm too dumb to participate in the discussion. To be clear, this is a 100% unironic statement I'm making.
Way too much of the time--esp. offline and IRL--I have the burden of being the smartest person in the room (or at least thinking I am) and it's exhausting. Feeling like an under-qualified idiot with nothing to say on a topic I should have LOTS to say about is actually a refreshing change.

[Any Engine] What's your build/playtest loop like for you, mentally?
author=coelocanth
The one thing that MV has over the other engines is that the editor isn't locked while playtesting. So I'll fix as I go with that, while needing to take notes / remember everything that's broken on a map at a time when using VX Ace.
Text not fitting in message windows is the bane of my existence when it comes to RM.
Wait...IT ISN'T? In MV I can use the editor WHILST the test play window is open?
RPG Maker Cola Podcast #001 (w/ JosephSeraph & Frogge) ~SPOoOoKTACULAR!~
This seems p. neat (haven't listened yet).
I'd want to be on there some time except that I hate the sound of my own voice so much that I literally physically flee from anywhere I'm forced to hear it, or if flight is not possible, literally destroy the device emitting the horrible sound of my voice if I can't find a button to turn it off in a manner of seconds.
I might be exaggerating but if so, very, very little.
I know most people don't like the sound of their own voices--except for voice actors, I guess, and obviously politicians lol--but for me it's a next level thing. I cannot even TOLERATE the sound of my own voice. I don't want to say it's physically painful...but it's close.
In the past, when people have told me my voice was pleasing, my reaction wasn't the reaction of someone receiving a compliment so much as it was the reaction of someone deeply concerned that the person they're talking to has suddenly become mentally handicapped or fully psychotic: "ARE YOU F*CKING CRAZY? Do you also enjoy hearing fingernails scrape chalkboards? What about the smell of dogshit, do you like that? WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
lol.

I'm surprised that I'm surprised that there is so much borderline/actual porn clogging up itch.io's top sellers.
author=Irog
This effect is basically what causes me to click on like 95% of the hyperlinks I click on: obviously marketers have found out that the most people will click through on a thumbnail of nice tits even if the content on the other end could not have less to do with hot babes. The ol' boobies bait-and-switch. I've been aware of it as a cynical advertising tactic for at least a decade now but the hilarious thing is that I still keep falling for it every so often.
@Liberty:
Well now I've got to assume you HAVE...
XD
Yeah, no shame and no shade on the smut peddlers putting their lovely handcrafted smut on this platform. And you make a good point about most online sources of porn being, well, about as safe for your computer as barebacking a $20 whore is for your privates.
Like the initial status says, I'm not even surprised, I'm surprised that I'm surprised.
The only thing I'm disappointed in is that so many Itch customers are using the platform to buy porn that it's infested the top sellers.

author=Darken
dunno what porn you're looking at if you consider games like Art Sqool and Lucah to be porn.
Huh?
I meant shit like this.
(both links very very very NSFW)
And this.
4th & 3rd row of top sellers on itch.
And I saw at least a half dozen others w/o looking for them.
What are you thinking about? (game development edition)
GUYS
FinalEmblem x Hamilton (yes, the musical)
or
BloodSouls x Salem Witch Trials/Witch Hunts in general (the literal kind, like where women were burned at the stake)

Flurry of Owls - 2019 Gammak Challenge!
author=retroexcellent
I have not seen anyone share owl related resources, stingy, all of you! I mean I don't have any to share either....but still!
I have a bunch to share but they're really poorly accredited also I don't have an easy place to host them. Here is a sweet owl battler for MV by Aekashics Librarium aka Coolguy McOccultname.
You know what, I'll just link it instead of embed because it's a huge image.
