VERSALIA'S PROFILE

I've seen so much wide-spread condescension and undeservedly nasty attitudes from high-profile members of this website that I am a little surprised at the contention as to what ostracized this community from others.

Maybe it's the fact that everybody is a total fucking dick to each other. :|

Personally, none of the features you listed inherently make a better game. MP3s rather than MIDI, for example, drastically increases the filesize of your game. What if players don't like the MP3s you have chosen, or you have poorly matched them to scenes and areas? What if the cutesy MIDI sounds, if well-chosen, evoke a sense of nostalgia in the player that is viewed as a positive emotional reaction?

Abundant treasure chests. This is almost bordering on the inherently BAD. I refer you to reading the excellent article Risk and Reward by Sam as well as any other game design articles you can get your hands on.

One of these articles (I forgot which) goes EXTENSIVELY into the "full heal after battle" mechanic, and how this can totally devalue or unbalance your combat system unless pulled off with finesse.

I just fail at portraying heights :p

Your art is awesome! As a tip, try elongating the *torso* on someone who is supposed to be tall. If you make their torso longer, you will draw the arms and legs longer proportionately as you follow the visual line (ideally).

Oh yes lets name fire attack with something unorthodox and totally unlogical that it takes us hours to find out what the heck it is like "ardour onset insubstantial " and without reading the mindboggling description like "The ablaze rose sky fervents the flesh of thy person,your picking"we wouldnt know what the heck it is,but we will be original. I prefer practical over fancy, but ofcourse he could at least change the name...

What the fuck, who said this.

I'd test more, but I really dislike 2k3 and nobody should use it anyway.

I find it really baffling as to why you would write a tutorial for a game engine you clearly dislike and then mention repeatedly how nobody should be using it because it sucks. Although, in other comment threads, I've seen you have a very unnecessarily nasty and immature attitude in regards to constantly putting down the engine/s you don't use.

This is really counter-intuitive to reading an article that should be helpful, because here you are, looking for information, and the information keeps insulting you.
