this is some good shit!!

just wanted to say that the first hour of the original ff7 is still very very good i played through it again recently and everything that i loved it still there and wasn't misremembered or emphasised by nostalgia or whatever

hey there, i dunno if anyone still posts here or remembers me, but i need a place to dump my thoughts so that's what i'm gonna do
 
early 2014 i took a job after being nearly made homeless and was able to support my family monetarily and it was kind of tough but everything was great, i was progressing really well in a new role, and the mad anxiety/depression/stupid shit i'd been suffering from kind of, i dunno, subsided while i was able to dive completely into something new. i'd progressively paid off a lot of stupid debt i got myself into when i was a stupid teen and things were looking up.
 
throughout the year i'd still deal with debilitating anxiety and depression and retreat from the world, basically just hiding. i still owe neuropath a tape in digital format, and i definitely haven't forgotten buddy. 
 
about september? october? i got the chance to move out. my family were doing okay so i felt comfortable enough being able to move out and being able to 'live'. i moved into a building right next to where i was working and was still enjoying things. 
 
but sometime early in january of this year, my grandad took really ill, and we all knew he had not much time left. at first it was a few years, and we kind of accepted that as a family. but all of a sudden last month it turned into 3-4 months, and then last week it turned into a couple of hours. like in your life you will hear so much about death in like entertainment and media and such and whatever but fully experiencing someone you care about die is something horrific and i really feel for anyone who has had to go through it. 
 
right now i feel i'm back at square one in terms of all the progress i have made with my mental illness and also my family. drule and jamie have been the best friends i coulda asked for and i'm really grateful even if they don't come here anymore, i'll let em know.
 
i grew up in this flipping place with all you flipping people and i dunno, i guess i wanted to tell you what i'm going through. 

yes!! pumped as hell for 50 game's and for you. hope this package sells a million. 

me + leafo are still going wild at this, but we might be a bit late with it... what we have is pretty exciting though!!

just letting you know... me and leafo are joining up for the jam... can our destructive forces be contained?? well yes probably

your very own microsoft paint has these features (or had i don't know what its like past windows 7) 
 
image > attributes > black + white

ohhhh fuck that is pretty

i really should learn game maker or refresh myself on MMF2 in prep for the game jam but pff learning new things hahaha rpgmaker4lyfe 

 
heck yeah.. 
 
here is an interesting thing re: rpg maker
 
https://easy-rpg.org/
 
i doubt it is at a stage in development to be used in jams but its worth keeping an eye on, at the very least, you can get your game running on linux...

I failed at the last saltw jam but this time I hope to complete something. I've never collaborated with anyone before so if anyone wants me to program for them that might be interesting.

leafo lets make a piss game >8)
 
a pissmas game........
 
hi porpy!

i'm in. but also, i will be fighting tooth and skull to win that mystic relic. fighting dirty, if necessary...

my weapons of choice are twine, rpg maker, stencyl, game maker.. anything easy. my stats in [PROGRAMMING] are low..

also!! if you'd like to bounce some ideas around when things develop, you are welcome to join our irc channel! we're on irc.esper.net at #saltw

whoa, twine games are being used in an american college as part of their course materials, which i think is perfect

well wow, that was a blast
 
a big thank you/congratulations to all the contributors.. it is so nice to see games being made here, especially since this place is filled with talented people..
 
thanks to ed + denzy + others for their work in running this.. i hope its not the last
 
a BIG congrats to the furlong boy.. you really went the distance!!!
 
but most importantly, thank you to racehorses

weird tape in the mail was pretty much Internet Club - the video game ft. Lynch
 
 
 
i really like this stuff though. lots of it is like 80s PC/tech commercial music or just elevator muzak edited to really highlight consumerism/association to it, the clean synths and bells, the light bass sound etc chopped up to grow monotonous and swell up into distorted consumerist dreamworld. its hypnotic. everything lit up and glowing, crude 3d images of the future, slowly rotating on screen. lots of money invested in finding the perfect plant texture for the Ideal Mall. 
 
i really like james ferraro and daniel lopatin (esp eccojams)

one of our more toady members is from dublin.. 
 
i've visited dublin once or twice, both fleeting visits years ago, but thought it was a really nice place
 
best of luck at the pro tour

hell yeah!!! fill me up with dwee baby

also done being sick, managed to get started today but didn't get an awful lot done.. 
 
get well soon everyone, short ill/post-ill(''recovery'') games are very much appreciated !!

oh my god that is beautiful
 
was HOW TO WIN GOBBLER GROTTO booklet featured too? arcade cabinets with mysterious tomes 

So I'm sick for some reason. Still trying to work on Heart Stealer  tho i'm not progressing well. Looking at wednesday/thursday to post a build.

 
i caught a bug too, haven't done much outside of 'ideas'
 
whew

really good idea, for now i think i'll focus on mystic city
