Oh I get it now; Coyote -> Fox, Craft -> Forge.
Dogcreate
Catmake
Badgersynthesise
Racoonbuild


Anyone here happen to be in London (UK) tonight?
 
But there needs to be alliteration. Dogdesign, Catcreate, Badgerbuild ect...

I don't know where I was going with it. I was going to improvises an alter ego for the day. But can't do anything with that when hardly anything is being said. If I had been home the prior week I would a prepared something better for April Fools.

Awesome Bro

I've not been here for almost three weeks, so this is just me swinging by to say hello again, lol. What'd be a good site/forum to look into if I wanted to get back into game making?
 
Happy birthday to me

ive never associated being on a site with the making of games

i figured they were more of a place to post it and people to comment after youve made something

Maybe I should reword it to "What'd be a more active site/forum that could offer help in a timely manner if I wanted to get back into game making?"
 
Not r/gamedev. That place used to be good, but it's turned into a load of kids posting about marketing tactics and how annoyed they are that their unoriginal game clone #456 with "retro 8-bit graphics" hasn't made any money on the app store.

I don't think I've ever felt the need to ask a community for help. I email authors or post questions on people's blog posts if I need clarification on something they're writing about, but largely I don't think there's much a community can add beyond tech support for a specific tool (RPG Maker tech support is a very big section). If you want help learning a specific tool, then YouTube videos are probably the best thing, until you're at a level where you can jettison the hand-holding and just use the tool's official docs for everything you need.

For feedback on a project; you've got everyone here - but it is sometimes best to ask individuals for their opinions and not an entire community. I would probably ask opinions of everyone, but I'd value different people's opinions quite differently.

EDIT: If you're doing something that is niche with excellent search engine queries then YouTube is sometimes pretty good for getting people to find your content and discuss it, give feedback, and support your ideas. My GBA demos on YouTube seem to make people wet themselves with excitement.
 
Been pretty productive today. Applied for student finance and accommodation. Gotta do some college work today too, but it's going pretty well.
I'm really excited to move away. I can't wait to actually be doing gayme stuff in an educational setting.
 
I'm kinda dazed now that things are settling down. There was like 6 different birthdays this week alone. My sister eloped last weekend. Going to a wedding this weekend. So much going on.
I haven't watched much of anything in the last 2 weeks. I guess everything hit it's finale at the beginning of the month and I didn't want to start anything new and get distracted.

I just remembered I bought a few "Tales of..." games on steam back in December that I haven't even installed yet. I had time to play one last month but I completely forgot about them.
 
I helped brand 56 calves and give them their shots yesterday. 1 guy did all the administering of the brands and shots, while 4 others and myself were pushing the calves through. I was mostly working the gate and the restraining pin.
The thing I wasn't expecting was how much smoke comes off them.
Actually the whole experience was unexpected because my dad and I thought they were just getting ear tags. Rounding them up on 4 wheelers would have been the best part, nice warm day and everything. Except for the fact that I seriously had to go to the bathroom and barely made it back to the house through the intestinal pain.
