Applying Auteur Theory to Amateur Games (Part I)
I thought it was pretty good, mainly because I think the whole auteur thing (or just the idea of a distinctive authorial viewpoint because i fucking hate the word 'auteur') is something I'd like to see a lot more of in amateur games. It's pretty much their main appeal to me, in fact. I don't care so much about polish or even fun etc so much as I do playing games that felt like they were made by an actual human being who put something of themself into the work, instead of churning out some derivative committee-designed garbage. It is, uh, a kind of dangerous approach in some ways since being an auteur doesn't mean someone is any GOOD (cf. the infamous argument that Michael Bay is an auteur). Pretty much the biggest and most obvious one I could name in the rpg maker community is fucking Mister Big T. But if that's the price to pay for valuing uniqueness and personality then so be it *bravely opens vault door, drowns in flood of anime dragon semen*
Max McGee's Playlist
Worst videogame character.
who said they hated bubsy bobcat? bubsy rules. he's a pretty good guy I like him a lot. i made a bubsy fangame once it was pretty bad. rip bubsy.
also uh worst character idk maybe that fucking baby goron from majora's mask. sorry guys, i DONT wanna meet that babby. oh shit wait
wait
it's natalya from goldeneye. that fucking. jesus. there's probably a bunch of those ESCORT/PROTECT THE X characters that could go in here since they were all pretty intolerable but man.

Frog World RPG
yeah, that's where it ends. this isn't so much a demo as a very rough wip (there is like four days worth of work in this version) and i am still working out the characters and interactions and things! i agree with the heart thing completely and haven't really found an 'angle' on the main character yet (ie a gimmick) and the intro as a whole doesn't really hook me at all but this is something i'm working on too. thanks for playing!
What do people care about?
Who cares! I don't! Go jump in a bog! There is no family on this planet that will not taste the sting of my wrath!
I mainly like getting game critiques and reviews and things because I'm a whore but idk I would kind of like to talk about game design ideas and creativity and weirdness and stuff and uh it'd be nice to bring up ideas like this without having to get in some stupid debate about ORIGINALITY DOESNT MEAN GOOD or JUST MAKE FUN GAMES. Hey guys we're messing around with a whole new medium and there's a bunch of really interesting concepts and thoughts to kick around on basically every aspect of designJUST MAKE GOOD GAMES. Sometimes I will make a halfhearted attempt to talk about this stuff but there never seem to be enough common issues to get anywhere and it always turns very defensive. Mostly I hang around because I remember people from GW and I'm interested in seeing what everyone's up to.
