Hi! Thank you for peeping at my profile.
I like making modern-themed games. My first game, Onyx, was made in 2006, when I was a senior in high school. So it's pretty ROUGH, but people seem to like it? Total Chaos is my personal favorite, but it has some, erm, issues, too. Mystery Man Zero is coming you guys, I haven't forgotten about it. A full-game will come out even if it takes 10 years. Oh gosh, I hope it doesn't take that long, but you get what I'm saying, right?
Right now, I am also working on A Nightmare in Sunnydale, a horror genre mesh-up fangame, if you will. I also like playing games. Actually, playing RPGM games is legit one of my favorite pastimes. *insert smiley here*
When I can fit it in, I do a little bit of Gatekeeper as well, a sci-fi fantasy about a team of god-lite forces, Gatekeepers, who have to protect the dying Earth from forces they don't even know about.
If thou think they can take it, download some of my stuff!

Rolling Stone's100 Best Songs of the Decade
post=113283Certainly better than "Single Ladies"..... >.>You gotta admit though, the choreography and visual work for the Single Ladies video was fucking stellar. I know the list wasn't based on Music Videos, just the songs themselves, but hey, just makin conversation.
The video is immense. Prime example that sometimes simplicity works the best.
I just wish Beyonce would finally understand that and stop releasing bullshit. If only she would put the same energy into her music that she puts into her live shows (which are incredible), she'd be (even more) unstoppable.
Single Ladies was quite possibly the worst song I've heard in decade.
As bad as it is, Singles Ladies is a masterpiece compared to this gem...................................

*DEATH* at "Drop It Like It's Hot" making the list while Nelly Furtado is shunned completely. None of her singles from "Folklore" were hits, but those singles and the album itself is still her best work ever. Certainly better than "Single Ladies"..... >.>

post=113117
that's nice. why should it be any different for RPG people? considering the deliberate act of writing characters that were as 'real' as possibly instead of absurd characterisations with wild blonde hair and giant swords. preconceptionsss ::)
lets face it, real people are 'boring' too!
Well, we don't need a MASSIVE article on the history of these characters, but a few pieces of info here and there about what their lives were like before SeeDs would have been nice.
This is an entirely different game, but on the surface the characters in the Persona games seem totally simple, but the writers manage to insert additional bits here and there about what the characters were like before the journey started (such as, their favorite stores, things they liked/didn't like about school, random early life memories, complaints about work or romance, etc). This extra info may seem totally unnecessary and pointless, but in my opinion, they really do help in fleshing the characters out and making them relate-able. FF8 was missing that, which is why most of the cast felt kind of cold and thin. Also, the fact that half of them had personalities that Square had already done to death didn't help. The most original character in the game was Quistis and she got like, no screen time (still a lot more than Penelo, but that's a different topic).

Things like this, along with Feld's discussion about plot mechanics he didn't like, are really what I mean. The words "hate" and "sucks" are being thrown around, and for what? The importance of card games? A gimmicky, but effective-if-not-optional game mechanic? Plot mishaps and story gaps? These are the things I identified as criticisms in my post. Issues with the draw system and refining magic having the most merit, the gameplay experience is still solid. The game is still GOOD with all of these flaws (which vary from one person to the next), it might even be GREAT, again varying with opinion, but I guess that just accentuates these criticisms.
In my defense, I have come across several people that really do hate the game (their words!). I don't share their viewpoints, since I loved it, but I can understand why some of the things didn't work for them, even though those things didn't bother me.
Your Game Sucks
post=113098post=113078I try not to be harsh with replies, but I must say that you have completely and utterly missed the point.
Again. No.
Your reply is guided completely by bias against Craze's attitude and does acknowledge or even address the merits of his arguments. I can kind of understand, he came on really strong with a COMPLETELY INTENTIONAL egotistical tone. Why? Because that is the nature of a wake-up call.
No one is disputing that people who are going to do what they want will continue to do so. This is extremely obvious, to me, to Craze, to everyone. Again, to sum up what Craze said, "If you WANT to be a better RM* developer, HERE IS WHAT I DID TO MAKE IT HAPPEN."
Ironically, you state with certainty that people are going to ignore Craze's advice. This makes you sound egotistical, and wrong, but I'm smart enough to look behind your choice of words and understand that you merely disagree with Craze's attitude and speak out of bias. EDIT: Better put, I recognize that you are merely letting people know you don't like what Craze has said, regardless of merit.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I'm far from biased. What, exactly, would I have to be biased about? I have nothing against Craze. I don't post on the forums enough to have strong feelings towards anyone.
An aspiring developer can/should learn from everyone, even the "bad" developers (if anything, they teach you what NOT to do). Craze's words are certainly helpful, but not law. Even if someone follows everything he says to a T, that does not guarantee that said person is going to have a "successful" game. And if someone chooses to disregard his advice, that doesn't mean they are going to fail either.
Am I wrong for thinking that you can make the game you want to make while still making the game other people want? I guess it's a black or white world if so.
Nope! Not in the least.
I just dislike it when people come off as if what they say is the truth, and that their "advice" is more valid than others, when...it...really isn't, at all

I LOVED FF8. It was/is my favorite game in the series..................
That said, it does have its flaws and I totally understand why some people hate it. I, however, had a heck of a lot of fun with it, and I'm glad Square took a different route instead trying to make an FF7 clone (even if it wasn't 100% perfect), which would have been the safest thing to do business wise.

post=113071post=113062Ok, so I was wrong when I used the word "obviously."
No.
Really, look deeper into what's being said rather than who is saying it. Craze put it the way he did because he's egotistical. He's saying, "hey, I've made games, and you know it, here's some insight as to how I got them done."
He targeted a specific group of people at the beginning of his first post. He's NOT saying, "I want you guys to make games like mine." What he's actually saying is, "You are putting a lot of time and effort into an epic fantasy RPG and the majority of people aren't ever going to see most of it."
Craze has a big head, but he's not stupid. He knows people are going to make what they want. It's just a wake up call.
Again. No.
Craze is not the be all and end all of RPGM'ing. He is not the first to have a successful RM game and he won't be the last. His word is not gospel. No one cares about any "wisdom" he feels he is entitled to arrogantly bestow upon others.
People are going to do what they want to do regardless of what he or anyone else says, and that's all there is to it.
Deal.

Feld: (Edit: and Yeaster) Obviously, he's making a self-observed point that applies to a great majority of people.
What he's saying is, if your goal as a game designer is to have people actually play your game, consider what he has said. If this is not your goal; if your goal is to make whatever it is you want or have fun doing it, you're more than welcome to it, just don't expect people to have a high opinion of it, or complete it.
No.
What Craze is essentially saying is: "People should make more games like mine" which is.................no. Just no. Craze's games are good because they're one of a kind, but I would want everyone want to make the same kind of stuff.
The beautiful thing about humanity is that we are all different people, with different ideas and tastes. What may not appeal to you, may appeal to other people and vise versa. I know I've released my first three games on several different sites, and they have all been much better received (and played!) than they have been on here. So there you have it.
No one can really predict an RM game's success. It just kind of happens. If you try to go out of your way to make an RM game that you think the masses will enjoy, you'll run the risk of losing your motivation to finish it, because it won't be something that you REALLY want to make. It'd be a soulless project made out of vanity/desperation for internet popularity.
A good game is a good game, whether it's 20 hours or 20 minutes.
Your Game Sucks
post=113040post=113038That's fine and all, but you're just one person, and on the individual basis, why should any one game designer care what you think when they're designing their game?
I'm not going to play "it" because I think that "it" is shit. That's the problem.
If more people took the time to practice, get better, learn some stuff, buy XP/VX, and make some smaller games that some people will actually finish... man, I'd like to be a part of that RM* community.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I mean seriously, no one is making games for the approval of any one person. They're doing it because they want to. That simple. If someone's game does not interest you for whichever reason, then skip it and proceed to move on with your life.
