Does Anyone Remember GamingW? (Remembering Gamingw)

I browsed GamingW since I first started using RPG Maker 2000 in the year 2002. I downloaded many of my first games from there including Legion Saga II (the description of which mentioned it's custom naming system) and the first few episodes of The Way. I was around the age of 9 and 10 at this time.

I remember writing an absolutely terrible, critical review for the game Robocks during this period. I actually found it a few years back on the Internet Wayback Machine. It's extremely embarrassing, but I can find it again for anyone who may be interested.

I didn't post on the forums much at all until the year 2007. Before then, I was a regular on the RPG Maker Database forums. I started posting occasionally on GamingW after RMDatabase went under. I posted two demos of my game Hellucination there - one in 2007 and one in 2008, I believe.

A lot of people here are mentioning that there was a lot of bullying going on, but I received a lot of support for the project despite it being buggy and poorly tested. Someone mentioned that I should assign weapon hotkeys to the number pad. Within a few minutes of that post being made, I went to work and released a patch that included this feature within the next day. The user who made the suggestion was impressed.

I remember the screenshot thread being very impressive. I wonder what happened to most of those games? Many of them, unfortunately, never saw the light of day. Presumably, a lot of users went missing during the migration to rpgmaker.net.

I went by the same username as I do here on GamingW. I didn't post as often as I did on RPG Maker Database (where I went by the username M2K), so I doubt anybody remembers me being an active part of the community. That's because I wasn't. I did browse the forums all the time, though. I definitely remember the hostility that occurred being the Game & Demo section and the "general discussion" forum (I think it was called Post-9/11 World?)

I'm still waiting to play Monopolo.

Final Fantasy VII 2D Remake

Stop making excuses, Vanit. The fact that you can't name the characters makes this demo literally unplayable.



Just kidding!

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

Definitely keep the battle backgrounds. It looks really cool.

Extremely minor nitpick: The font has a higher pixel density than everything else.

Mapping, mapping and more mapping. Every time I tell myself that I'm not going to make a gigantic map this time, it ends up being 120 x 100 or something ridiculous. Oh well!

Yeah, noticeable, and much better.
How do you pronounce your name? @_@ I used to pronounce it as "Froge", kinda like "Doge" for example, but, now I just pronounce it as Frog O ^O


I personally say "Froggie" in my head.

Do you want one person to compose the whole soundtrack or are you willing to allow people to submit just a track or two?

Xenomic: I like the layout of that map! It's interesting enough to keep the player engaged, but not confusing at all. If you could litter some objects over the ground (rocks and whatnot) that would help a lot, but I understand that the tileset you're using is probably quite limited.

Frogge: Simply adorable. I think your tiles are great! My only issue is that the coffee table (?) seems very tall compared to the couch. Maybe make it one or two pixels shorter. If it's not actually a coffee table, I apologize.

orange-: Woah! That looks so cool. Serious Dark Souls vibes! I'm extraordinarily impressed by the art and presentation of that shot. The battle animation looks great too. I never quite know what to say when I can't think of anything to improve of at all, which is the case here.

Here's the screenshot of a map I've been working on! It's an abandoned cathedral, the making of which involved very creative use of a town tileset. I'm quite proud of this one. It's not quite finished yet, but it was finished enough that I figured I'd post it here and possibly get some feedback.

WARNING: PRETTY BIG IMAGE



And as always, I have to shamelessly plug the game that this is from, Exile's Journey, my epic 15+ hour RPG that is nearing completion!

This map wasn't completely finished when I took this screenshot, but finished enough! (That's why parts of the roof near the top look a little weird.)

The Rare/Obscure RM Games Request Topic

I remember trying to download Delta Star in 2004 and the link was dead even back then.

Trying to remember a RM2K3 game

Can you remember anything else at all about it?
