VACCARIA'S PROFILE

Quarantine hasn't gotten me yet. But, it has forced me to look at stuff that I thought I already dealt with in the past.

I'm sure that if you're one of the few people that encouraged me the last time I wasn't pretty much happy with the creations I made, then I'm thankful. Really. It was one of the driving forces why I managed to even finish my first 'actual' game in the form of 'Sa Ilalim ng Gabi'. But soon on after, just as it was released, that's where everything hits again.

For me, it hurts to know that I've given it my all on a game only for reality to remind me how fragile that imagination I had. I expected my game to pretty much blow up. I don't think you'd need to know where that went. That pretty much placed me in a mental battle as to whether I was actually doing something for a community I'm in... or I was blinded by the prospects and never knowing I subconsciously wanted to be known.

Just for that game, I pushed every limit I had. I made sure that everything was just as good as is. And it fell down the drain. Of course, I picked it up and tried to at least advertise it, even though by the cultural standards here; that would make me desperate. And I was. At least to be noticed for my efforts. And that soon made me realize that I really was doing it for the recognition.

Advertising is a thing, but desperation was another. I got lost in those thoughts and found myself a month later drowned in whatever content that would make me forget that I did make games. I tried to just will it away and maybe have the strength to make games again. Telling myself that 'I should just make games' and that 'I'd get better after taking a rest'. It's... really pathetic to think of that knowing you already saw the prelude from what you've made.

I don't even remember when I actually started. 2013? 2012? 2011? At least I still had the drive to do something. But to make a game?

In all honesty, I don't know. I'm lost. Why should I still bother? Could I still tell myself those sweet lies? Or just trudge through the pain again even if the outcome is still there?

You can still submit resources to rmn's resource page for makerscore!

Are we allowed to submit(own) event's submission for rmn's resource page after the event ends?

yep

I think that implementation of an automatic thumbnailer wouldn't be such a pain. The site has the function built-in. It would make tiny 2k screenshots visible and gargantuan MV ones prettier.

Sounds goods to me. Though, that doesn't change the fact that a high-res images are also causing longer loading times. Unless of course it generates a new temporary file as thumbnail and then showing the actual file when the user prompts too.

Plus, I do want to add that if that's ever the case, like say high-res images, WebP image conversion makes those files easier to load (compare a 5 MB png and its 700kb WebP counterpart; without any quality loses with transparecy still there). The site still has a lot to improve on, but it's expected knowing that some aren't expressing any issues of it (which is... kind of a lot, actually. I'd make an article if I have too).

Not just an automatic thumbnailer for screenshots, but also a full overhaul of the site. If the screenshots won't kill your data, anyone else's CSS will.
