Main thing is that there's no real reason to the average aspiring gamemaker to stray from TKZ anymore and the other system's own forums. There needs to be a new value for this site. The question to ask what this site really was.
An example I read about was about a company that make really high-quality drill bits. Best in the industry...until a Chinese company started distributing bits at a better price of comparable quality. They felt doomed. But a few enterprising individuals got together and were weighing options on how to steer the company. WHO ARE THEY? What kind of company are they, really?
They felt doomed as they only thought themselves as a supplier of high-quality bits, their success in the can. But the light bulb went on. They weren't the supplier of high-quality BITS but the supplier of high-quality HOLES. They then refactored their company and became a leading manufacturer of industrial lasers.
There needs to be some laser action here. Good luck. I am here to help.

Anyways, I've moved the Black Walkway to RPGMaker XP. Yes, I have betrayed the toolkit. Progress is much better now that I've switched. Who knows, maybe I'll actually finish the damned game this time? Until then, we can all play my old games. Smile

« Last post by Xorlak on November 29, 2009, 10:46:12 AM »Awwww... Yeah, I hear ya. This was definitely one of the better communities during it's time. But alas, once DAL ended I got caught up in other projects and this site fell to the wayside on my visiting list.
I currently pay for MS on it's own hosting account and failing that, I'm pretty sure Spyder wants to keep it up. I've been thinking about moving it to the virtual machine I have my comic websites on to save money, but blast, there are a LOT of games, and I'm not 100% sure we can spare the resources there, since we're constantly expanding. Either way, I don't think MS is going to disappear anytime soon. One minor annoyance is that there's no easy way to upgrade the forums... erm... someone installed PHPBB3 when it was still in beta *grumbles*, and upgrades from that aren't supported. So the forums here are kinda locked in place and I had to disable new user registrations because we started getting a spambot flood a while back. (Not that there's really a draw for new users anyway.)
Anyway! *hugs everyone nostalgically*

One of those hidden ones may be a CG movie, whenever I figure out all that stuff.

« Last post by AlienDude on November 20, 2009, 03:14:38 PM »Ok tons of changes:
I am a civilian now as of january 09, after which I took on the task of Armorer's Apprentice. I kid you not! It was a blast man, but when someone put out a scathing review on me partner, causing a ton of our clients to pull out, I had to find other work. Ended up selling off most of my gadgets and other cool things until I got a job at Home Depot and later on with a marketing firm in Columbia, MD doing web design and other consultation. Now I am on the way out of the hospital after being hit by a car while crossing the street about two weeks ago. I will be able to fully walk again in about two months or so.
I am officially striking it out on my own for the web design thing. I have been messing with the TS site again and will do a redesign over the next couple weeks while I get caught up with all my clients. Also after I get healed up, I will be taking on the hammer again and working on a couple really big pieces with my good friend.
Game wise I won't be touching that for about another 6 months more or less, I need to set up a few income streams before I can devote any real time to that. Besides most of my game ideas I am turning into books. It's far easier that way and better suited to the plot lines I had in mind.
I do have an offer to do a couple XBox games with a guy near DC, worth looking in to.
I still want to do the Phantas games somehow as well as some of the New Earth titles and RoboTactix the FFT/Robotrek fangame.
I have also been learning how to do music with my Game Boy. I got me a Pro Sound modded clear DMG with an LSDJ cart. I plan on putting LED backlighting onto the beast it's gonna look sweet! Maybe I'll see some of you at Blip Festival.
You guys can reach me many ways.

I'll give you my number if you ask, but it will be a while until i can take calls as it's busted and may be about a week or so to get that running again.
