Maps are meant to be played on, not to be looked at. If your maps are no good then your game design is no good.

so yes it is the epitome, get good at it or get out!!1

Didn't the whole Full Games sub forum not work out so well in the past? Wasn't that the initial reason for the Indie Dev forum that happened.

It ain't Arnold, it ain't canon.

Here's something I made for a brazillian community award. Theme was posting a screen of a terror scenario.

Lemme address all the age comments right her - I'm not a snot nosed 13 year old who is just discovering nihilism and turning emo or some bullshit like that - most of us have those stages, I did too, but I grew out of it at like 16.  I'm 22 now, in university, and it's not so much of "the universe is awful..... sigh *cuts self*" but rather "hey I've finally discovered what my tastes are so why not stop looking because every attempt at trying something new has never quite lived up to the hype."

It really doesn't matter if I'm precieved as tough shit or not, nor do I care if it's unique.  If I like something, I like it - It doesn't really matter how many other people enjoy it.

Gaming and game making are much more common though, this is a terrible analogy.  Maybe you just haven't tried hard enough to find people interested in it, because you seem like the kind of person who doesn't go out of their way to find people to be friends with.  It's like you've given up on the whole concept, and that's why you use the internet as a replacement.

Plus, game making can't be your ONLY interest, don't base your possible friendships solely on that one interest.  Some of my best friends in the past have been people that I shared only a few similar interests with, but who I just really got along with on a personal level.  Try meeting people for the sake of meeting people.  Fuck, maybe you could GET someone you get along with into game making, just because you can't find anyone into it doesn't mean giving up forever.

jesus christ you people are ridiculously defensive. All jamicus and I did was post about how we don't like the idea behind the game and tried to create some kind of a relevant discussion beyond THIS LOOKS SOGOOD *CUMS* and somehow you people take that as a personal attack and that we're trying to force our opinions on you.

uhh i am totally trying to convince people not to like this game. i already don't like it, don't need to convince myself. i'm not doing it cos i want to fill people up with anger and unpleasantness, i'm doing it because i'm trying to help people elevate themselves out of being satisfied with crap. i haven't done it often and i probably won't do it next time because you've all shown a total unwillingness to think about why you want to play this over some other game or even something other than a videogame.
