STORMCROW'S PROFILE

>look StormCrow

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.

[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?

I want to assume that everyone who votes 2 is just trolling me, but someone on my staff said they pronounced it that way for real.

I pronounced it that way for like a year before I realized it was "Kenton Anderson" and have not been able to mentally correct myself in the 10+ years since. So yeah, voted #2, not for to troll.

Edit: I initially thought this was the new title of the 'thread title mashup game' thread.

Edit 2: You know what probably doesn't help? Hexatona's existence. kentona rhymes with Hexatona rhymes with Epona.

Worried

I think he's probably fine. The truth is we do this as hobbyists; often real life happens and has to come first. He's only been "MIA" for a couple of weeks. Take a deep breath. Relax. If he's still MIA and incommunicado at the start of October, then start worrying.

Censorship and Security Paradoxes

Or as they say, "dog bites man is not news."

How is Alex "Gay Frogs" Jones begging people NOT to take his bullshit seriously not Man Bites Dog? It is the exact opposite of what he is always doing and could be expected to do.

Nintendo SHUTS DOWN RPG Maker's POKEMON fan game ecosystem!

1) They want to maintain control over their franchise/brand/whatever's image, and fanwork runs the risk of altering that image. This could be anything from "the fanwork is pornography, and our image is family-friendly" to "the work is shitty and our image is quality."


I don't consider the former legitimate except in the most stupidly literal cases. Like if it is ACTUALLY pornography, fine. That's legit. But if it's "the fanwork has swearing", "the fanwork has violence", or "the fanwork has dirty jokes", fuck you Nintendo, not everyone's top priority is to wring out every last dollar they can with an E For Everyone rating. Respect that shit.

The latter is undeniably legitimate but extremely subjective. I would say that in the cases where the fanwork is so bad that it's practically not subjective it's legitimate, but honestly those fanworks are unlikely to get on most people's radar in the first place.

a case of ripping the graphics and then using them in a fanwork are clear violations of the law


Yeah, probably, but my ethical alignment isn't Lawful, it's that other one, the one that's the opposite of that.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure you can't lose a copyright due to lack of enforcement. What y'all are thinking of are trademarks which can be rescinded by lack of defense. However the damages of breaking copyright can be affected by lack of defense, but it's usually judges sniffing out bad faith cases from what I've heard.


You know what I've always wondered? As of the 1993 SNES Shadowrun game, they specifically had The Matrix TM listed among their registered trademarks, along with Shadowrun. When the super-high-profile movie called The Matrix came out six years later, why didn't they go after that shit?

Hali's Review Thread (Request Your Game!)

Hey there, bottom of the queue here, calling in. I'd like to transfer my request from Chapelwaite to Ep. 1 of Road To Paradise. Barring a sudden insanely dramatic increase in your review progress rate, it should even be in a state I'm not embarrassed of by the time you get to it!

OP Updated.

M.O.G. 2?

The only resource I could possibly contribute is music and my ability to do that is hilariously rudimentary but if this happens you can still probably count me in.

The idea of an RMNTP is delicious.
