Post What's on Your Mind

Xilef, thanks so much for the info. I read it at least three times to make sure I got everything. After the disaster that was my last Reddit post about my game, I decided not to take anything personally, and respond either positively or not at all. And now I can see the wisdom in not justifying anything. Justifying my decisions just comes across as argumentative and defensive. I need to consider the criticism and make a decision, and that's all. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I would like this but I can never find a decent enough plugin. I'l;l projbabbly end up coding my own at some point if we can decide how it should work.

I don't think the site has any glaring issues. HBG's decline is just a result of the migration of the RPG Maker community to Steam and Reddit IMO. Not to mention our most prominent veteran members -- to the RM community at large anyways -- have all moved on to do other things. Besides Xilef and Amy, maybe. vgvgf's project decryption tool from 2010 still generates 4% of traffic from Google, behind Holder's Graphicsgale palette tutorial at about 9%, a search for the site itself (keyword "hb games") at 25%, and the RTP standard at 45%.

That is of course if I'm reading the data correctly. Web analytics isn't exactly my forte.

It's almost been 10 years that I joined the Half-Kaizer Construction Project. For some reason autumn always makes me think of the HKCP. The sumac leaves start turning red and I would be like "I want to put that in a tileset".
 
First proper week in college went by super fast.
Met some cool people.
First day was like "Hey this is pretty awesome. Super enjoy learning programming."
Second day was like "Never thought I'd enjoy talking about SDLC. oh and now I'm writing my personal statement."
Third day (today) was like "WELCOME TO HARDWARE YOU SUCK AND YOU'RE DUMB!"

I'm still alive... How unfortunate for you guys. Oh, well. Then again I don't care much for your opinions. Although I still read them for research purposes.

Oh, what do we have here? Talk about reddit and 4chan... Ha. I hang out at 8chan when I'm not here. Not an easy place to reach.

I am super cool. Y'all go stand over there ------>

Good. I'm glad HB games is finally respecting my superiority.
Most advantageous for me. When I compliment any of you, it's like God speaking.

Oh, I apologise for interrupting. You know me. I have to make a scene, especially in public.

Continue with your conversations. It was uhhh, interesting... I think. Go on...

How much of the hurricane hit your location?
We got the dirty part of the hurricane. The eye shifted and went to where people evacuated too. Kinda sad. Miami where I live was supposed to get the eye, instead it went to Tampa Florida.

The dirty part of a hurricane is the North Eastern part that normally cause tornadoes. 4 tornadoes spawned, but not near me. Irma was 300 miles wide. All of Florida was affected. Down trees everywhere. My front yard was decorated with broken solar panels thanks to that stupid storm.

hybrida at it with the jokes again, good shit keep it up

LMAO!!

I go there to troll white supremacists. Porn, trolling, calling out Trump supporters, spying on racists, etc. It's fun. Also the lolicon. No dumbass muted short videos like 4chan. Content is never removed unless it's illegal. "File deleted! Whoa there motherfucker!" I love when I see that phrase.

can anyone here create a 10-15 second animated intro? We need a better intro than what we have for our videos.
I have experience with Flash, but no longer got the software. I could look into doing something in other software and record it. But I'm going on holiday Monday.

anything you can do is better than what we have so I would very, very much appreciate any effort made

Come up with a unique idea for a little game. Trying to avoid splurging my thoughts out and then never doing anything with it.

I have a complete idea for an action side scrolling/stryder type game
 
I was thinking a Super Simple MMO, based in a platform world. Kind of like a Super Mario but with other players. I would limit my palettes, and use graphics similar to this:

That's RM2k3 graphics.

OK, so you can only move from left to right. But I'm thinking if you come across a door, or a gap in trees, you can go inside them and end up in a map facing perpendicular to the world you're currently in. So that would give the world a kind of square shape to have some 3D quality to it.

The point would be to get the very basic world all set up first of all with everything working and finely polished, with new things added thereafter. All menus would be Super Simple, and even those would be limited to 256 colours.
