I was always under the impression that if you don't pay for your website it's probably not worth visiting.
That's not to say all websites hosted professionally are good either.

Or maybe I just have really high standards.

There's some truth to it, but it's pretty much bullstuff.

It's figuratively the same as those stupid "Back in my day, -" rants.

Even some people in this generation know how terrible this generation is lol

People such as Roosevelt, Churchill, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Gandhi, Pope John were once the choices of this list meant to show the most influential person of the previous year.

This year, Miley Cyrus was going to get it.

For perspective, Snowden doesn't even have a third the votes she does.

update: that was apparently a bit old

she came real close though

That font is rather unsightly. You can try Bombardier, free for all uses.

idk if you guys noticed but the program right now uses a texture for text rather than an actual font
if you look in assets/textures/exportedfont.png you'll see the texture. I might get a new font though, that one looks nice.

Bump?

thanks :)

It's 1:40 and I got class in the morning so I'm off for now.
But I hope to get a decent bit done tomorrow afternoon.
Making lights emitters and the heightmap server side is probably my next goal.

uhh
well eric made blockland and then perennial and uh
i'm pretty sure there's no correlation
iunno what i'm trying to prove or do
well keep at it i guess i kinda forgot my point with this;-;

Why did I think someone was gonna bring up perennial lol

It looks like a cool game but I don't really know much about it.
All I know is that most of the people on the forum would rather he work on Blockland than anything else.

Im not "trying"?
Really?

Well I wasn't even talking to or about you so how the forget would I know how hard you're trying.

You can some how make this assumption that I am putting no effort into my 2D Game Framework/Engine/WordThing even though until now you didn't even know it existed?

You're probably putting effort into it, obviously.
I'm not saying a 2d game can't have some entertainment value or have its fans, I'm just saying 2d games are usually a developers stepping stone (think of all the kids and their gamemaker games) or an interpretation of an already existing IP or concept. (you could have indirectly related games like terraria = 2d minecraft, or more direct relationships such as reinterpretations on older games which usually get a pass)

Or am I misinterpretting you? Do you mean that you are putting an effort into making "modern graphic" games by ripping some stuff off of google?

I don't understand what you mean by "ripping some stuff off google".
You mean the few placeholder models I'm currently using right now? Because no matter what my game ends up being I probably won't be the source of the models for it anyway, so who cares what I use temporarily until I get a modeler.



Basically the unfortunate thing about a project like this is that it gets a quick burst of attention where everyone wants a part of it. But if the creators rush just to get a cute little 2d game with cameos from all our favorite forumers, it'll be really popular for a while. Then once people play it and see they're not in it, they'll no longer give a stuff. It's unfortunate but for a game like this you really need to make sure it can stand on its own merits and not just be a showcase for peoples egos, or else no one will be talking about it next week.

I pray you arent refering to your stufffest as "modern graphics"

nah I still dont know where im going with that
but at least im trying lol

man you sure are upset over nothing

Are you really trying to argue that everyone should aim to make triple A titles?

Hmm?

I was just saying I don't like the fad of intentionally lower quality graphics.
Minecraft did it and it was alright, but then everyone started doing it.

You're "right" DrenDran. Thank you for opening my eyes. Instead of practicing creating games and then getting the community's opinion on them to expand my knowledge and pave the way to create better games, I should completely stop and just bow down to you in your upmost glory. I mean I could just never achieve the level of intellectual advancement you have achieved so I should just stop trying.

Seriously, go forget yourself. I hope you realize how big of a cunt you sound like when you say this stuff.

lol look at all the sarcasm
that means you must be right!

yeah i was a bit hurt when he said that pixel games are babby games

Are you guys really trying to argue that 2d pixel games aren't objectively easier to create and less involved than 3d games with modern graphics and/or physics?

I said they're perfectly fine for starting out but you don't exactly see any triple A titles using sprite sheets.

Sushi is really good if it's actual sushi.
From an actual Japanese Sushi restaurant.

Anything from a supermarket is disgusting.
