Mine are very similar, not very modular or completely reusable outside whatever project it's in.
did... did nuts goners just become public domain?I confess i left to my copyright, so all my ideas are now free to use, i also confess i don't care if anyone uses my ideas without permission.
Yes, just because someone else i know wanted to use them on their projects without my permission, and so much!!!did nuts goners just become public domain?
Sounds like blasphemy IMO.I have another confession:
I think I like modern indies that are inspired by classics a lot more than the classics...
Recently I tried to get into:
-metal slug
-contra
-castlevania:SOTN
-megaman
-super metroid
(bear in mind that I never had a console as kid, so I have no strong nostalgic feeling for any of those games)
And honestly those game don't keep me interested for more than 30 minutes.
But I love all those retro inspired indies
Nah it's not that I like they are easier or more casual games by definition.Sounds like blasphemy IMO.
Let's be honest the main problem with those older games is difficulty curve, the original classics are often way too hard for the casual player.
But in terms of atmosphere, many of these newer games just cannot hold a candle.
I confess, this doesn't surprise me one bit.i confess i recorded a full episode with my phone, but i won't upload it to YouTube for copyright reasons, i'll just use it for recreational purposes...
SOTN is notoriously easy and not a good example in this situation.Nah it's not that I like they are easier or more casual games by definition.
For example nightmare King grim (boss that is very inspired by castlevania's Dracula) in hollow knight was much harder than anything I encountered in SOTN.
I think it's just that the new games took what made those old games great, and cut off the stuff that wasn't as good.
And those "not so good" parts are most obvious when you return to those games AFTER playing the new ones, and without the nostalgia goggles to blind you.
Hmm lets see.SOTN is notoriously easy and not a good example in this situation.
I am curious about what problems you had enjoying Super Metroid, and what newer games of its kind you think do better. My main passion is 16 bit era action games, but I think Super Metroid stands out as being a virtually perfect game, and an unforgettable experience for a first time player.
In contrast, I played Axiom Verge and was very excited about it. Heavily Super Metroid influenced, interesting setting, art, music etc. However I lost interest far quicker than I'd have predicted. Couldn't put my finger on one particular reason, but it just entirely failed to captivate me, whereas with Super Metroid I simply couldn't put the controller down.
I confess. I used to enjoy programming.
From the time that I started programming until about 4 years ago, I genuinely loved it. Nowadays because my priorities are focused on surviving and earning a solid income, I tend to focus my efforts on what's required. A side effect of that is not loving the programming itself nearly as much. I have my days but it's very rare. That's not to say I don't love the end result or the games I make. Just not the typing out of enums, ds map entries, some clever solution, etc.yo, what's happening explain?
That's really interesting to hear... I talked to a freelancer/game dev a lil while back and he says he finds it best if he keeps lil side projects of his own. He'll mess around and code stuff that he finds interesting/fun. Maybe that just keeps his mind off of money and makes it feel like less of a chore. Anyway, I hope you find your love for programming back... I confess I feel the same wayFrom the time that I started programming until about 4 years ago, I genuinely loved it.

I don't mind having lost the love for it. I'm still proud of what I produce and there is a certain level of fulfillment still associated with watching people play my games and such. It just isn't quite the same nowadays. I think it's just part of growing up and having already experienced a lot of those "joys" a few times already.That's really interesting to hear...

Um I dont know if Im wrong but I dont think offtopic threads count for the posting requisites. Last time I remember you have to post five times in threads that are not from offtopic in order to finally have priveledge in starting threads.I also confess that this is post 4/5 to let me post links. Mwuahahaha
I confess that this was a fail. As @Misu said, off topic posts don't add to your post count.I also confess that this is post 4/5 to let me post links. Mwuahahaha
Same.I shower in the nude.
if I wans't restricted I would like the post. I can feel your pain and I know how it feels to say stupid crap or one political opinion and lose friendships over that, even people you dearly loved.[snip]
I guess my previous post was insensitive but I hadn't read yours until just now - just a heads up.snip.
That one will haunt you if you ever do a large scale project with they YYC.I've never used ";" in the code of any of my games.
What kinds of ideas did you provide?The first person to be affected by this was CrazyGuyGames before splitting up due to my bad intentions with other members, providing him with the wrong ideas.

I discovered that too late. Haha, it was worth a shot!Um I dont know if Im wrong but I dont think offtopic threads count for the posting requisites. Last time I remember you have to post five times in threads that are not from offtopic in order to finally have priveledge in starting threads.
I'm intrigued to see what you look like jogging nowWhen I go for a jog I sometimes pretend that I'm a mech on a patrol mission. *'-'*
