That's really sad to hear. I've only talked to him a handful of times since my time here, but he was always a cool dude. Rest in peace.
Simple solution: If you don't care for the game or the developers, don't play it.This is a bad way of looking at it though, and it's one reason why most gamers these days !@#$% me off.
Also you forgot the grand daddy of them all. Sonic Generations. It has a very real shot at grabbing GOTY and that hasn't happened in a long time for a Sonic game
I believe you are getting a little ahead of yourself there.
The "we" and "this will be a whole new era" parts. No offense meant though.
Nobody liked my idea of local moderation of boards as a way to possibly trim down global moderation
Wiping and then linking back to some archive wouldn't be helpful if the archive is not sorted and sifted through for its content.
Our biggest market in terms of a potential userbase are those who use Game Maker and those who like Nintendo games. As I've expressed before I don't think that a break from Zelda would work in that we'd still have predominantly Zelda games here.
This is why I separated the Coding boards into Zelda and Other in some respects, if there would to be the growth of something new from Other which it was deemed was worthy of a board of its own, it would be given that. But for that to happen we'd have to have users working on that stuff rather than just hoping for someone else who is into that stuff to come here onto a ZFGC forum that doesn't look like it is about that stuff. And really, an outsider who would come here and possibly see that other stuff would only likely stay here if that other stuff here was good and not second-rate compared to something elsewhere.
Who says we have to upload video's each week, or each month for that matter? Just upload if there is something you would normally create a video for.
Hate to say it, ZFGC is a one-trick-pony. We've all witnessed the community grow around a singular project twice over. Once with OoT2d (abandonware) and then again with Shadowgazer (abandonware). The in-betweens have never been good. The forum only works when there's a big project for people to gawk at.
As bad as it may sound; fangaming is more of an introductory/hobby thing... Most people who started developing here have moved on to their own IP's. It's a lot more satisfying to make something that's truly your own. It's because of this that I agree with Porkchop on just removing "Zelda" from the equation. Frankly, Zelda has kinda sucked for the past 10 years anyway.
In my completely honest opinion, ZFGC should be done. It's the community that people pine for in these threads, not the subject of the community. We're limiting ourselves by being "Zelda Fan Game Central", and the community just doesn't exist anymore. Make something new. Make something different. Whatever community is still here will obviously be there too, so what's the difference. Right now it's just silly how this forum lingers and lingers when it could just die and have something better come out of it's remains.
The thing about these big new directional ideas is that they never go anywhere because no one is willing to put in the effort.
I'm not against change, just, make sure we're making small changes gradually as we get to something bigger. You can't really go from zero to hero in an instant.
Mostly, I like the little community feeling. It's nice, quiet, there's no real faggotry. But hey, whatever.
--Disregard this post, !@#$% mood, not personal etc
QuoteI'd still like to see a merge with GDU, which I think would be nice, no matter who's running it. >_>
I don't know if you've noticed, but GD-U is pretty much shot to !@#$% >_> GM and I are no longer part of it and are developing on our own, it's just Wally now.
Honestly, I think a lot of us have just grown out of fangaming, at least those of us who actually produced games reliably and regularly instead of just walking demos. There's no real solution to that. Life goes on.
Well, I don't like that they took AMX out. :/
I'm arguing based on how I feel when I play the game now. It has not been a generic FPS. The thing that made it non-generic is the ability to mod the gameplay. I know you can still mod the gameplay, but it seems to be pushing in a direction towards the current FPS bandwagon.
I know it doesn't change the core gameplay, it just makes it "another FPS".
Meh, don't like Counter Strike at all. Don't really understand what makes it so good, it looks shitty to begin with, then the gameplay physic are just... wow... can't really find any word to describe it. D:
I kind of hate how jagged all of the modern pokemon are...
Like... everything post G/S is so odd in comparison to the originals.
