Wheat flower

[Wheatflower]

Hello everybody !

Following the rules above, here is my paragraph :

My name here will be Wheatflower, the translation of the screenname I chose when I first joined a game making forum : "Fleur de blé" (I am a French girl).

I started getting interested in the game making community right after I played Aëdemphia by Sylvanor. I had never heard of a forum for game making then joined as I love forums...
When it comes to the community, I happened to be moderator on a small and actually catastrophic forum then went to this or that (French-speaking) forum for amateur makers.
All this time I got to know and explore the RPGMaker log, I now have the chance to have a legal version of the XP version.

Quickly after joining the community, I thought about making a game out of a story I had in mind for a long time. It never happened. I loved to help people at the beginning, to be a "teacher" for those in need -and there are many newcommers to give a hand to, too many...

I would certainly not call myself an expert though, I think I understand well how the system of event creating in RM works, I also have some experience in pixel art (I'm not very willing to talk about it now, this forum looks "grave" : S ) when it comes to what I don't know : mapping scripting, creating music... come to think of it, I must add scenario and dialog there. A good teaching is also pretty hard to find in the fields of game design and level design. It's nothing natural and as I am not a big player (neither a long-time player), I probably miss many notions.

I have first been directed here by another French "maker" called Al Rind to a page full of pixel art, I came back there via Viridianmoon/perihelion 's profile, what made me really join is Venetia's avatar... Hazel is here ? If so it's really nice to find a friendly face around !

Sincerely, I rather hope to be a good wall flower (<<) and not get too much involved. The forum looks serious, professionnal and I don't feel lika having a word to say in the topics... Understand me : if everything is perihelion's quality around,my skills and pride won't let me feel comfortable. What i like to see is nice projects, nice discussions, feel people moving, sharing ideas, to feel in the flow.

Outside of game creation... erm I like to draw and dolling has been a huge hobby.

for music : Ludovico Einaudi, Enya, Loreena Mc Kennitt

I used to be a student in chemistry, studying three years in high school.

Trust me,
We are not grave and serious.
This forum is probably the most laid back forums I know. The rules are there so that people don't screw around, they're basically guidelines.

We DO, however, have some talented people doing talented things, and the many people who are very decent at critiquing whatever you post, whether it be art, pixel art, writing, etc. Join IRC and the Rec Room, you'll see that one needs to really actively try in order to be banned. (Not that you will try ;D)

Come, relax, have fun, and get your creative juices flowing. Welcome to the forums.

Wow!
Hi welcome to the forums.
Perihelion is probably one of the best pixel artists here but a lot of people are just amateur game makers passing around ideas so dont be afraid to post in discussions or whatever!

 

[Perihelion]

Hey! I'm really glad I could help you find the site here; I like it a lot. Please don't be intimidated, though! We're pretty laid back and welcome contributions from members of all skill levels, so definitely post your art so people can leave feedback. You can check out our artwork forum to get an idea of what people usually do around here.

Just out of curiosity, did you come here via my deviantART page or my Pixel Joint page?

Also, are you working on any games right now?

 

[gRaViJa]

Hi, there and welcome. I have a feeling you'll blend in very well in this community. See you around!

 

[Wheatflower]

Thank you all : )

I went to the rec room and had a funny time in the topic for misheard lyrics and I'm waiting for this afternoon/night to join the irc. I'll be trusting you for being "amateurs" instead of severe professionnal.

Yesterday, I ended up here thanks to the deviantart page, viridianmoon has been in my bookmarks for some time, now, although I accessed here by pixel joint too (more than one person was linking to here).

I am not working for any game right now, i used to join a team and it was a monumental catastrophy, I like to think about my things but I'm not engaged into anything. related to this have a project of charamaker with erm... one chara done : D

Hmm a Belgian person around too. The ones I know are pretty talented in scripting : )

welcome wheatflower. hopefully you blend in and have fun here.
like others said, please don't be intimidated from posting. while there are amazing game makers here, they don't bite

Hey, welcome to the site! Don't worry about everything being professional, we can be relaxed when we want to be.

 

[Kain Nobel]

It seems like every french developer I've ever met was really talented in one field or another. Oh yeah btw nice avatar, good to see another artist in the mix :D

 

[Misery]

[Venetia]

Welcome, wheatflower! Don't be intimidated by Peri. We have artists from every skill level here :>. No one is amazing out of the starting gate.

Your avatar is lovely though <3

Welcome Wheatflower! You're someone relatively new like me. I hope you'll be enjoying your time here like me

 

[Wheatflower]

Then welcome to you too !


Yes I enjoy the place, especially the IRC or chatting and the tutorial/game development discussion sections.

Good luck in the contest !
