I can, however, make judgments based on a combination of the aforementioned screenshots and discussions with the developer of the project by drawing conclusions of not only the overall intellect of said developer, but also experience with game development, networking algorithms, and how he plans on implementing trivial tasks such as load management on the server, system and account security, and other very important issues that are required in anything that wants to have even a remote chance of accomplishing efficient, balanced, and fun online gameplay I hate to say this, and I know I'll get shot down cuz I'm new here and everything, but you're sounding like a total jerk right about now. Cool down and sip some iced tea or something.
Your point being? Why should I care if people think that I'm a jerk, or an !@#$%? Game development, particularly the programming aspects of it, is a form of art that I have worked over the past seven years to improve upon. If I were soft and tiptoeing through the tulips with him, if I were to just let him go on thinking "My game is going to be brilliant, without flaws, and it's going to be incredibly easy for me to develop," then he wouldn't have that extra drive to prove people like myself that he does have the skill and willpower to work through the project. And that's without mentioning not only the high rate of zelda fan game projects, as well as online projects by fans, that is present on not only this community, but on others, as well. That goes without mentioning the fact that it isn't uncommon for any independent game project, which is, essentially, what this equates to, get canceled because of a lack of interest, a lack of knowledge and skill, and most importantly, a lack of experience in the various required fields of game development. Him. Min is a guy. Not a chick. Despite the avvy. But don't mind him, he's only trying to help you.
Gender isn't important enough to worry about correcting. And no, I'm not "only trying to help." I'm showing the reality of the situation, and what risks he is taking by attempting to develop an online RPG with very little network programming experience.

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.
But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists. |
