One man codes a DS game on his own in 5 years

From what I've seen of the guy, he's a little too enthusiastic about the whole one-man-project thing. He's also too paranoid and secretive about his project (he's been refusing to give any details because he's afraid someone's going to steal all of his ideas.) Plus, he's 100% convinced that he's got the biggest and best game possible and as such, does not respond to criticism at all.

I mean, its admirable that he's put so much effort into this, but his attitude and approach to marketing this game is really, really awful!

What are you thinking about right now?

I'm thinking about how Max McGee needs to put his new favorite signature quote in
tags.

If you could remake any videogame which one would it be?

I want FF7 re-made so that the entire game took place only in Midgar. And if you tried to leave, you'd get eaten by Midgar Zoloms or something.

Are we alone in the universe?

At 19:06 hr, Valentich contacted Melbourne FSU controller Steve Robey and requested information on other aircraft at his altitude (below 5000 ft, 1524 m); he was told that there was no known traffic at that level. Valentich then reported that he could see a large unknown aircraft which appeared to be illuminated by four bright landing lights. He was unable to confirm its type, but said that it had passed about 1000 ft (305 m) overhead and that it was moving at high speed. Valentich then reported that the aircraft was approaching him from the east and voiced the opinion that the other pilot might be purposefully toying with him.

At 19:09 hrs Robey asked Valentich to confirm his altitude and that he was unable to identify the aircraft. Valentich confirmed his height and began to describe the aircraft, saying that it was "long" but that it was traveling too fast for him to describe it in more detail. Valentich stopped transmitting for about 30 seconds, during which time Robey asked for an estimate of the aircraft's size. Valentich then came back saying that the aircraft was "orbiting" above him and that it had a shiny metal surface and a green light on it. This was followed by 28 seconds of silence before Valentich reported that the aircraft had vanished. There was then a further 25-second break in communications after which Valentich returned and wondered if he was being tailed by a military aircraft.

Robey attempted to gather more information about the unidentified aircraft and its location; Valentich reported that it was now approaching from the southwest. 29 seconds later, at 19:12:09 Valentich reported that he was experiencing engine problems and was going to proceed to King Island. There was brief silence then he came back to say "it is hovering and it's not an aircraft". This was followed by 17 seconds of unidentified noise, described as being "metallic, scraping sounds", then all contact was lost.

A Search and Rescue alert was initiated at 19:12 hrs. Valentich failed to arrive at King Island by 19:33 hrs, and a sea and air search was undertaken by sea, with two RAAF P-3 Orion airplanes conducting an aerial search over a seven-day period. Search efforts continued until October 25, 1978.

A slick of fuel was discovered on the sea roughly near where Valentich had last radioed Robey, but analysis proved that the slick was not aviation fuel. No trace of the aircraft was found. The aircraft was equipped with four life jackets and an emergency radio beacon, and was designed to stay afloat for several minutes.

Travel With YDS: The Most Alien-Looking Place On Earth

By the title, you're leading me to believe that you've actually been to this place.

Those mushroom trees remind me of a Mario level.

What if you woke up next to the user above you?

You guys are all either homicidal or homophobic :(

I would think about what could've happened last night that might have led to this. I would also probably question CP about it. Perhaps I might pretend that nothing is wrong and go about my daily routines. Actually, I'd probably do that.

What comes to mind from the username above you?

A VERY bad indie game company.

:D :D :D

Messaging Problems

And I notice you don't reply to them! <>:(>

How often on RM?

I use RPGmaker all the time when I have any spare minute. :(

Questions you always wanted to ask other members, but felt too lazy or awkward to do so.

Yeah, it's pretty trashy to go to a site and trash-talk another site, especially considering a lot of us visit said trash-talked site!

Oh donuts, what are we going to do with you?


Edit: Whoa, apparently I'm the one responsible for this. Damn, now I feel kinda guilty. I hope they didn't ban you!
