Mafia round 3 sign-ups!

For the record I'm hoping for about 28 players if possible.

Mafia round 3 sign-ups!

Trihan presents...



In the interests of keeping metagaming shenanigans to a minimum, all you're getting before the game starts is that it's a ruleset based on Paper Mario. There are some pretty neat mechanics in there that should keep things interesting.

If you want to play, speak now or forever hold your Peach.

An open letter to jomarcenter

Since jomarcenter posted Future Helper and the Seven Towers, and I made a Let's Play video of it, I have spent the time since watching his antics on here and on the rmrk forums.

One thing that has become painfully clear is that he is completely immune to criticism and suggestions to improve. He is also oblivious to sarcasm and responds to every sarcastic comment with an invitation to add theories about Future Helper to his wiki.

So I'm taking a stand. This has to stop.

jomarcenter, I will not sugar-coat this. You are a terrible developer. You are not passable, or even just bad, you are terrible.

Note that I do not say this to offend you. In fact, I want you to acknowledge this because it seems to be the only way to convince you that people are honestly trying to help you improve. That and I figured this would be funny.

Even for being a game made in two weeks, Future Helper is awful. You didn't really produce anything of notable substance; in fact, if it weren't for the bad dialogue and Engrish I wouldn't really have had anything to comment on in my videos.

Your insistence that your game would definitely win the Crash Course contest was an insult to everyone else who entered. Your insistence on rmrk that their contest have a full version of VX Ace as a prize was downright rude. You're a selfish, arrogant person, and I'm calling you out for it.

I'm no stranger to making bad things--in fact I've done it myself. The difference is, when people told me it was bad what I did NOT do was post forty blog posts a day detailing features I will never have in my game (i.e. online battles). Nor did I make a Facebook page, a Wiki, a McDonalds Happy Meal toy line, a straight-to-DVD movie, an e-book, and a range of sex toys based on my game.

Aside from not realising that your game sucks and we've all been mocking you for it, you posted an absolutely godawful April Fools "prank" which fooled absolutely nobody. Rather than accepting your defeat with good grace, you then had the audacity to post a massive jpg telling us to get our facepalm on or whatever because guess what? YOU TOTALLY TROLLED US. And then posted a list of people who "fell for it". I don't believe for a second that anyone genuinely believed you made a game that could "control real life". You can't even make a game that can control Alex's.

I'll be the first to admit that my obsession with you lately has bordered on stalkerish, and it's really starting to annoy me that your ridiculous antics have taken up so many of my brain cycles.

I am really, really frustrated, because if you only stopped to take on board what people were saying you might actually have the beginnings of a decent project on your hands. If you actually thought about what your characters were saying and doing. If you actually put some effort into your plot. If you didn't treat what you have right now like it's worthy of having an "e-book" version (which is basically just the game with no graphics. Don't make me start lecturing you on how a book should be written) or even a Facebook page.

How many popular games from the RM community have a Facebook page? Some have wikis, but that's after they've proven themselves as worthy titles and usually the wikis were made by fans, not the creator.

You need to stop living in a bubble, jomarcenter. You need to realise you're not god's gift to games creation, and unless you do, you'll always wallow in mediocrity. I want you to get better. I honestly want nothing more than to see a version of Future Helper that people actually ENJOY. (changing the title might be a decent start).

And above all, you need to stop having some kind of community superiority complex over the rest of us. It will not make you any friends.

Programming language

The first thing to determine is: what exactly are you looking to create? An MMORPG? An online shooter? If I know more about your goal I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Some Questions !

There are certainly better choices for it, yes.

RPG Maker VX Ace - Nugget Crash Course

Man, I knew I should have put fewer hours of amazing gameplay in Steve. Sorry for holding you up, guys.

Why you no attack?

Ohhh. That makes so much more sense now. Thank you, kitty hot dog man!

Why you no attack?

But wait. Isn't that what the "attack state" on the weapon itself is for?

Why you no attack?

Ohh. So THAT'S what that state does. I thought it was just a state to do normal attack damage or something.

Why you no attack?

How does that work? I don't follow you there, Craze.
