You guys really need some change or gimmick; this place is in a deep, dark coma.  If I were you, I would consider

a )  Site updates.
b )  Contests--like the old rpgcode contests and such.
c )  Other incentives for new, exclusive resouces.
d )  More advertising and a higher presence at other TK places.

I know it's not really any of my business, but it's sad to see the great MS like this.

Ah, but is it a deep dark coma, or a peaceful restful nap?  (Heh...)

Yeah, sometimes I wish I could do more with MS, but I just have too many other things going on...  The site code needs to totally redone, especially.

We also need new fourm skins. I miss the old fourm skins.

If I had the talent and motivation...I'd make a game exclusively for MS...but sadly, I have neither...plus I'm missing another thing I desperately need...TIME (I HATE MY GODDAMN JOB!!!!)

But yeah, if I had even a tiny bit of this thing called talent, and a little bit of something you people call motivation, I'd do something. Sadly, I lack both, and therefore I am just a waste of space waiting for death.

Oh don't say such things about yourself. Nobody in the world is a "waste of space". Or is it that everybody in the world is, I forgot.

I've been doing a tiny bit of work on the Chronicles Of Rudafu: The Black Walkway. Mostly just graphic work, no programs or boards have even been made, but Dippy and me have been doing a lot of planning lately.

I might only release it on Mystic Software, but I'd need to get attention to get people to download my game, when I at least get a demo done. Maybe I could just announce it on TKZ, in a topic with a link to the page to download it.

But those fascists at TKZ probably won't let me! Razz  Well I doubt they won't, but it seems like something they'd do.

I'm planning on making my project MS based, though I'll try to get some attention from people on TKZ.  It wouldnt provide much more than just sign up boards and forums for people to get together to plan stuff and find out one another's usernames however.  Plus, I really have no idea how long this whole thing is going to take, so it hasn't much future as of now.  Sad

Yeah it's going fine. Smile

Whatever happened to DmD games?

Little happened to it. I haven't been doing much work on any games. Hopefully I'll get my full remake of The Black Walkway done. I think Dippy may release a game soon.

Are there any RPGCode things--methods, utilities, whatever--that haven't been done but would generate high interest?  My EasyMenu seems to be pretty well-liked, but it's on TKZ as well...  Not to say I can sit around programming exclusive MS resources, but if there's anything you can think of, I might, you never know ^^.  It is summer, after all.

Perhaps a thread on tkz...

Well maybe. Perhaps a quick animation creator. Like it takes awhile to make sprites now. Like how it could work is that, you enter the file extension (gif, png, bmp) and then you type in the handle of your character, and then it finds all the pictures of that file extension, and then puts them into four (or eight for iso) animation files.

Like if I had a bunch of bitmaps like this..

Quote
FrapS1.bmp
FrapS2.bmp

FrapE1.bmp
FrapE2.bmp

FrapW1.bmp
FrapW2.bmp

FrapN1.bmp
FrapN2.bmp


It would put all the bitmaps with S after the handle you put it, in a FrapS.anm, and so forth for all the other positions.

Not sure if that's clear or can even be done, but I think it's an interesting idea.

Double post, don't care.

But I released some RMXP char rips. There are only about 8, but I guess it's something. It's all in animation files and such. Since the other one was in tilesets, so it would be best for TK2 or using...TileBitmaps...
