HARMONIC'S PROFILE

Why does the windowskin look like something out of an ugly Win95 game? D:

It's been updated. Looks better now.

^ Yep "you're all wrong" blanket approach, just like I said. RMN's terrible reputation is well-deserved. No effort to identify the truly guilty and innocent. I'm sure there's a lot of great people who post here, but the mods and the loudest trolls rule the day and support each others' toxic behavior.

Liberty, did you even read Corfaisus's post where he changed your quote, in which you directed your moderation *only* at Craze and Corf? Because that's what you did.

But yeah... the truth takes a backseat here, because you changed your post, which said literally "craze, corf" to include me as well.

It is really unfortunate that there are not more reasonable minds who also value the truth. The rule is, if Harmonic says anything at all - ATTACK! And then if Harmonic defends himself, tell *everyone* they're wrong. Which is exactly what trolls want. They know they're wrong, they know they'll be moderated, but they want to drag good people down with them.

I have given this place so many chances. And again, most people here are probably fantastic people who just want to make games and indulge their creativity. But this cancerous influence of the old guard mods and their pet trolls is really holding RMN back. It's not only me who gets this treatment. Look at the way RMN basically psychologically abused Max McGee into submission, or anyone who disagrees with the opinion of the loudest voices.

I love RPGMaker and know its potential, but the world at large thinks very lowly of it. This is largely because of a flood of seemingly low production value games hitting Steam, but its users are also seen as amateurish boobs. Don't you think I, as a veteran RPGMaker user, would want this reputation to improve? Jeeze louise. Get it the hell together, and maybe a less toxic environment will invite a higher quality exchange of ideas.

Or, you could just use the stock approach to this post as well, which would be "take it to PMs" or "no more posts or ban". Or even more likely, more personal attacks and ridiculous swipes from loud trolls. Honestly, my expectations aren't high here.

Aaaaand your political scheming continues.

You're trying to make this a Badluck versus me thing when this is not even remotely in the realm of reality. I have never once wished ill upon another commercial developer, I have only encouraged those who truly pour themselves into their projects. To do otherwise (like you do with me) would be the sin of envy. "Side with Badluck" etc. was ALL your idea. Your gigantic strawman of an idea. You are a shady character! Divide and conquer, eh?

It doesn't matter who the other developer was. As long as it was not me. You needed someone to latch onto to show some degree of balance or moderation after accusing me of:

1) Making games en masse and failing (major falsehood):

Numbers don't mean a whole hell of a lot when complacency rules the day. The fact that you've released a slew of commercial games tells me none of them are doing all that well, or at least well enough to support your hobby. It's Laxius Force (jokingly, Laxative Force) all over again.

I've made 4 games since 2009. One is very successful. Two are moderately successful. I am doing great overall. I work with extremely talented people - Mithran who is easily in the top 5 RM Ruby scripters ever, and a professional game artist who works for Amazon game studios, among many others, not the least of which are some of Degica's fine internal employees. But you go ahead and live in your wacky fantasy world. I believe the kids call it a "safe space" these days, right?

2) Somehow being associated with this "homy" fella in a really sad attempt to discredit me in some way

3) Apparently I don't want to "get my boots dirty with the commoners" because I don't share extremely sensitive financial info with you

I don't know why you act the way you do. It is a serious grudge and it's creepy.

Hmm, there must be something perfectly snarky and disarming I can say here...

Would it be in poor taste to pretend to be insulted that Ara Fell is a meager 6th on this peasant list?

I'm not sure if you mean I was implying it was a "peasant list". It is pretty much impossible for me to say something at RMN and have it not be massively misconstrued. (Also to have disgusting comments thrown at me by Craze.) If that's not what you're intending to snark about, nevermind!

(People. I know it's a different audience. I already said so. I also already said I don't care that much. Notice the lack of caring that much in the original post.)

It is a bigger insult (for real) that your other game, the one with the wedding crash in the beginning, isn't at all mentioned. Rise of the Third Power, yeah that's the one.

Corfaisus, you're taking desperate jabs at me. I don't know why you feel the need to even try.

A lot of people have recommended my games. I am not familiar with this gentleman and am obviously not associated with him.

Steam takes 30% off the top for everybody. That's as far as it gets without infringing upon my own privacy and those who work with me.
