THENECROMANCER'S PROFILE

What about having a separate link for those who actually want to download the custom music?

Don't forgot it's other people who are playing your levels and maybe they don't mind the regular music ;)

Yeah, I can see how some people might not like it. We can just put no restriction on characters.

*also, is the world map only going to be made after the submission cut-off date?

Who wants to watch a battle scene at 8 fps? It's torture. And whats the fangame anyways?, looks like RTP to me. Using the names of popular characters isn't exactly a fangame. But I dunno, I don't what it's supposed to be so I can't gauge that.

Making a game isn't about how many people will play it, it's the experience of making something that counts. Even if nobody sees it, the developer learned some things(hopefully) and the next game should be better(hopefully). And it takes a great deal more effort to come up with something original that is good. Just about everything has been done already, its easy to find a comparable example of just about everything these days.

Saying you don't like fangames and writing them all off immediately is very close minded. Where does that judgment come from?
Did you see too many "bad fangames" and your just gonna write them all off?
Is it because you feel that the person is being unoriginal or stealing someone else's idea?

One could say, all RM(homemade amateur) games are terrible. I mean, most of them are crap right? There are tons of areas(music, movies, art...) that have mostly crap and you have to keep an eye out for the gems, not just write off the whole scene.

Making a fangame is just a tribute, in most cases. Good series have a rich background, history, folklore, and it's fun to use the ideas of that "universe" to make your own interpretation of it. It's true there are many bad fangames, but it's not bad because it's based off something else. It's bad because that person is probablly a terrible game maker and whatever game they make will be bad.

I will say this however...making a fangame where your game is EXACTLY like the original material is a bad idea.

I think it's just unfair to say "all fangames are terrible". Just like saying "all Muslims are terrorists", although I'm sure the ratios are a bit different.

Instead of searching for the image, search for a site that holds game images and browse through it. Like www.vgmaps.com

or

Just load the game and take the screenshot yourself. Download a rom with a savestate near that area of the game.

Sometimes if you want something done you gotta do it yourself. I doubt anyone would have that specific image or want to search for it when you said yourself google didn't find it.

lol Tardis. A friendship built on a foundation of hatred, what could be better than that!

Which grade do they start teaching the difference between "your" and "you're"?

Meh, I always get that mixed up when I type in a hurry. Thanks for keeping a watch out for my spelling but you missed the fact that I didn't capitalize one of my terribly constructed sentences. You really dropped the ball on that one.

I think we should start a support group for those devastated from this great loss. I'll bring the beer. Ladies get in free.
