I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.

I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.

"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

- TW/IFS, "All The World Is A Stage Dive"
Iron Gaia
As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

Les Visiteurs Dans L'Espace Review

i confess i cannot remember how i was going to finish that OTHER unfinished sentence orz

i think faster than i can type

I was going to say that Health Pills felt both cheap and scarce.

- I guess this next part's a bit scummy, but Friend is invulnerable to all magic attacks. Therefore, the only real way to go in the battle is to assault Friend with physical attacks (leaving Lin kinda useless, but at least she could defend herself with Focus/support with Items), and once she's dead, survive against Kilroy's CQC onslaught for a couple of turns until his HP dropped to a point where you could kill him with a single attack. Oh, and Kilroy uses "Falcon Wrath" every 4th turn or so just to catch you out (I do this with a lot of enemies in the game, actually)

Yeah, I know, not immediately obvious how to go about things here, but I didn't exactly want to make an easy ride of a game, and other players seemed to have managed fine against the boss anyway.

See, I actually assumed the opposite gimmick, that Kilroy had to be defeated before the chick behind him could be damaged at all, because of the way he's standing in front of her. I thought he was protecting her or something.

Out Of Control Cops - A Serious Problem In America

do you think this situation would have turned out the same way if the man with the gun was black?


no way in fuck, they'd have wasted his ass immediately.

black white or purple I'm kind of amazed those cops managed to de-escalate a violent situation anyway. bravo I guess.

(As a side note, for the majority of automatic guns, it's usually pretty easy to tell when they're not loaded. Revolvers usually aren't counted as automatic.)


gotta disagree there on a factual basis. with something like an automatic rifle, yes it's easy to tell if it doesn't have a clip in it. i assume in the above example, that it had a clip in the magazine well but the clip was empty. with a semi-automatic handgun unless you can see inside the magazine well or are handling the weapon yourself it won't be easy to tell if it's loaded or not at a glance since the clip would go up inside the magazine well...you might actually be better off trying to ascertain if a wheelgun was loaded depending on the design.

Having a real major Crohn's flareup. I don't seem able to keep any solid food down and I'm feeling pretty horrible. So if anyone was wondering why I've been /will be posting/RMN Playing/gam making less, that's why.

thanks Kylaila

yeah, feeling a bit better today and a bit better during the day in general than at night. which is another thing that makes me think it might be exacerbated by an infection or virus of some kind.

What are you thinking about right now?

feeling a little better today, I think

Why continue a series?

THANK YOU

It is weird.

I had just bought Nerve Stab with dirk but I never saw it actually go off and stick. I seemed to be having very shit luck with the status effect component of Lin's spells too (although 30% isn't a very high percentage anyway).

One thing I really never had trouble with was MP, because generally speaking characters have a lot of it and full heal points aren't too rare. That's a detail I failed to mention until now.

Why continue a series?

it says "countinue" instead of "continue"

Minimizing Mapping: An Abstract Exercise In Game Design

author=Crystalgate
The only idea I got right now is simple to reuse maps. There are different ways to do so, such as copying and pasting pieces of map to multiple locations or making the game load the same map in multiple locations. You can make cracks and various object appear in different places to not make the maps entirely identical, but they will look same-ish no matter what though. On the other hand, there are a lot of games, even commercial ones, where the maps look very same-ish and who did just fine.

I would advice against making maps that extends their use by employing backtracking. In my experience, that's way more of an enjoyment killer than going trough similar looking hallways is.


See, I find that backtracking can actually increase my enjoyment of a game if the environment is interesting/engaging to inhabit in the first place (nice graphics, nice music, perhaps some details to observe that you missed the first time).

Why continue a series?

So is Diablo!

"dolls" v. "action figures" maybe? idk why i even bother making that comparison, i never got into any of the Diablo games either, i've honestly barely tried them.

i do know that i will happily spend time customizing the accessories and paint job on a gun in military shooter xyz but i am not interested in accessorizing ladies' outfits in japanese game xyz. that is just a preference, y'know i am not sure why it is getting so hardcore vilified.

It is pretty sad if it's true that X-2 is the best FF ATB game ever because I am pretty sure I'm never going to play it because of its extreme girliness. idk unless i can get into a place where i can appreciate it on a pure fanservice level but even then

what the fuck is 'too girly'
i don't even

too girly is something i personally have no interest in because of its girliness. you know, like sailor moon or creepy cartoon ponies show or whatever. something that is, you know..."for girls". (and that ironically i probably would have no interest in even if i was a girl)

You say that as though being 'girly' is a bad thing~ Frankly, if you can't handle a 3 woman party of awesome, that's not the game's issue. ;p

liberty why does it have to be ANYONE'S "issue"? why can't it just be that it's not for me/i don't like it? why does that have to be an issue? can't people have tastes without anyone getting offended?

you respond as though i had made the argument 'FF X-2 is objectively bad because it has girly stuff'. that's not what i said.

*sigh*

anyway hey MACBLO if I paypal you $1.05 will you fix the typo in the thread title it is bothering me?

RMN PLAYS

I gotta say...I am surprised how little an influx in the playing of my games RMN Plays has resulted in with the sheer amount of games I see getting played by the community at large. Yellow Magic seems to be the only bloke whose wide net shotgunning has happened by chance to hit any of my games during this event. I'm not complaining, just observing with some surprise. I have a LOT of games but I guess the SHEER OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF GAMES available on RMN makes it less likely then I thought for this firestorm of frantic game playing to land comments or reviews on any of my many babies.

There are a lot of games on RMN. That's all I'm saying. Don't read anything else into this comment.

Anyway um...KENTONABONE--I reviewed a game about Space France. Or something.
