We don't appreciate the ridiculously large fonts either.

Ah. I see now. So, since you're avatar is one of those (presidents? Colonists? My history ain't so good.) guys, do I imagine you speaking with a matching voice?

Anyway, yeah... I read the rules now. I... uh... yeah. Got a bit mad there with the 99 pt. font. (I was trying to get it to up to 1000 pt.)
Sorry.
Alright, I've said it, now would the others apologize too...?

EDIT: Reduced some texts' sizes in earlier posts, to be less "ridiculously large".

--da dana naladana dana dada nalada--

I am not what you say I am... you do not know me... woooooo...

Back to my project, I updated the beginning town, but I haven't finish lv.0. :huh: I keep getting bogged down by a few things. Here they are, in descending order:
Money*
School
School & Other Work
Listening to Music
Getting Places
Other Stuff I Want to Do
...uh...

* My XP free trial expires in 2 or 3 days. :scream: I need to buy that Maker, but I don't got no sufficient cash on meh...
 
Eh... I'm not 12, I'm older than that!

On the other note, I read the project discussion forum rules just recently, and it would appear I, along with some posters, have made a couple of mistakes.

Working as fast as I can...

EDIT: HELP! I'M ON FIRE! (J.K.)
 
Aww..it was just startin to get good. Besides, this is the most publicity Rey_J's game has had/will ever have.
He should be thankins us :O

(You're both amazing retards and neither of you are cool enough to be above the rules. I'm deleting your spam because it's uglying up the topic.)

I take it you're youngish, right? Twelve to fifteen? Right, well, that's just outta curiosity, anyway.

First off, your sprites. I think that you're taking steps in the right direction by making practice sprites, but at the moment your graphical skills aren't potent enough that you can use custom graphics in a game and have them look very aesthetically pleasing. If you want to make your own sprites from scratch, work on your skills. Taking a look at color schemes would be a massive benefit. You can't use the basic colours in MSPaint on a sprite. It's not kosher unless you're going for a cartoony style, and a cartoony style won't fly if you're using the RTP. Use color palettes for skin tone, clothing, and hair, and shade appropriately taking into consideration light and shadow. You can find some good palette sites under Helpful Links or whatever in Resource Analysis. It's stickied.

Until you get your skills up there, you should either stick with ready-made graphics or get someone else to sprite for you.

Now, for the plot. For me, this seems like you couldn't think of a plot, so you plugged yourself as the main hero, someone you don't like as the villain (you obviously don't like him at all,) and for the plot itself you just went with every young kid's favorite pipe dream -- man, what if video games were real!?

Yeah, put more thought into your plot. Right now I can't tell if you're joking us or if you're really doing the quintessential little-kid-making-an-rpg dance. As a rule, it's an awful idea to include yourself or people you know as main characters -- the temptation to make them into mary-sues is unbearable.
 
--Nope, made Z up entirely.
--Good observations.
--Good observations... (motherf***er!!! Not you, I mean)
--Just general observations... I am no little kid! Stop calling me that!!
--I haven't gotten much time to work on sprites yet! I'm working on my maps while my trial holds up.
--Oh super shnap if anyone here is omniscient it's definitely you over God..
--T is not me. It's more like... no wait, that old evidence would actually support your hypothesis...
--Oh God. (Not God., there's a difference) S***, s***, s***, s***, s***, s***, s***!
Super s***!! This plot is definitely weak-a**. I was never a master at storytelling, just tangents and everything in good English besides stroytelling.
--UUUUUUuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh... Wait, I though you had to be older than 12 to sign into the forums...?
--Just plain s***.

--Thank you for all your help. :blush:
 
Aaaah, shoot. What would qualify me, then?

A more mature attitude? Less outbursts (ridiculous fonts)? Less questions asked?

If it's that last one, you can't blame me. In my younger years, I was never communicating on the 'net, so my experiences are all fairly recent.

Yes, yes, and yes. The first makes you seem like a little kid just by virtue of your demeanour, the second makes you seem like a little kid because they all have ridiculous temper tantrums on the internet, and the third makes you seem like a little kid because little kids never understand the internet anyway.

Not much you can do about the third, but just try to pick up as much as you can. Bum around the forums a little, make some posts. The forum culture is easy to pick up on because it's not very deep.
 
Yeah, probably without all the exclamation marks! It makes it seem like you're yelling every time you talk, making it seem like you have a lot of energy, therefore younger!

And not replying with 1 000 point fonts in giant red letters would help as well. Taking criticism nicely and being ready to take harsh crits as well are bonuses too.  :straightthumb:
