GHOST'S PROFILE

Quite sad really,

I usually just lurked here. I at one point told myself I would actively post here more and contribute in anyway I could. I've unfortunately lost track of time and the circumstances here have resulted to the current scenario we see now...

In any case I really did like the game pages here. It's probably the best feature. It was really a joy coming here to "hopefully" see a new project of interest. Over the last couple of years I've definitely been suprised on more then one occasion regarding that factor! Was truly rewarded with some cool games, so in that respect I'm thankful.

I'm kind of glad I stayed out of forum politics. I was really generally upset with the route GW and G&D took and how powerless I felt with how it inevitably turned out (dead subforum > very inactive forum later). This very factor has made me branch out on my own to create my own blog and my own spot (Puppet Pirates then later MD).

Still, I would have liked to lurk here! Despite my general dislike for how blog posts of undesired (entirely personal here) projects bumped projects I was interested out of sight. Sure there is subscription but I don't know just felt weird. I also did not really like the direction a lot of game developers took to develop their games. I personally felt that cool projects are quite rare but this had more to do with the attitude/approach of the young new developers and the lack of communication/willingness to help one another (I.E: not bailing on each other when working on stuff together). I've done this in the past and thoroughly regret it and now actively try to help those who seek help. I think people should try to adopt more practical game making skills. Perhaps even ask around how some people approach game development.

Anyways, I think I'm done with my little rant. I hope to see some cool projects in development whether on personal blogs or other RM/Indie communities. If you wish to link your blog to Meridian Dance (I hate name dropping) then feel free to PM me or something.

Huh, please don't post your updates on my blog Valis...

This looks interesting Versalia. It's probably not your style to post lots of details of your project (or you're doing scenario writing on the go). However, I would be interested in learning more about the overall story, even if it's just a synopsis.
