Irrelevant question:
Are only the /love2d/ games we make allowed in the game development forum?

Automatik · Post » 25 Jun 2013, 21:23

No, everything is allowed.

So, I'm sad about Game Grumps

TheSeek · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 01:11

I know probably no one cares about this, but i felt like sharing...
There this old obscure game for Macintosh which came out only in Japan in the 90's, it's one of the rarest game ever, it appeard on sale online just a couple of times(and apparently it was the same copy both times)...to explain its rarity we can say that even its creator doesnt know of any available copy, that the only images of said game are from the company that developed the game and that, regarding its reliability online, it would be easier to find a physical copy of it rather than a rom/iso/whatever.
Apparently there is this japanese guy who actually owns a copy of it(he never played it cuz he doesnt have the proper hardware), and this other guy who asked him to rip the game(the game is apparently abandonware by now) so that finally, after years, Macintosh fan could play this, and what was the japanese guy's answer? He won't rip it cuz it's illegal to do so...

TheJonyMyster · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 01:24

Could you tell us the name of the game?

TheSeek · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 01:44

中天 ("Chūten", it means Zenith or Mid-Heaven), it's a sequel to another not well known DOS game, "Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou".
The most known game of the aforementioned games' creator, Osamu Sato, is another japanese PS1 rarity, "LSD Dream Emulator".

He has a good point, especially if this game is as high-profile as you make it out to be.

The creator himself said that he would love it if people could "somehow" play his game.
Legally there would be essentially no problem, the developer's company is long gone(or, it doesn't do videogames anymore) and the game it was declared as abandonware many times.
On the rarity part, it's the physical copy to be rare, not the copy(any iso or rom file of a game is essentially a copy of the game), there could be millions of roms/iso's of this game, the game itself would still be as rare as it always was.
Plus, the initial conversation about ripping this game was cuz this japanese guy wanted to play the game and asked for help on how to play it on his pc, and one guy told him to try and rip it so he could play in an emulator, and the jap guy answered that he'll never rip it cuz it's illegal to do so. He's concerned about ripping the game(btw, the act itself of ripping a game is not illegal), not about giving the copies away. IIRC, this would be the only case in which a long waited old and rare game rip is not possible cuz the guy who owns the game says it's illegal to do so...there are tons of actually illegal rare games rips, bootlegs rips, prototypes rips, never released games rips, and this one is essentally extremely less illegal than all of those other rips.

I've never seen the word rip so many times at once.

I've been making a comic series (as some of you already know) so I wanted to know what you guys thought.

It's nothing amazing, but it's not terrible. My least favorite of the four is #1. The straight up pixel-y font in the drawn out art style looks out of place

TheJonyMyster · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 09:24

I used the same font in all of them.

TripleXero · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 09:30

Comic Sans. I know, but it looks out of place with the art style, and how some things are pixel art-ish like the person's hat or the smaller package view

TheJonyMyster · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 09:46

Yeah, I know. That was intentional.

TripleXero · Post » 26 Jun 2013, 10:36

I was trying out that new iTunes Radio thing on my iPhone, and something new started playing and I thought to myself "this sounds pretty cool". It turned out to be an advertisement

WHO ARE ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE COMICS
THIS QUESTION BURNS IN MY CRANIUM

I have names for every character, but I reveal some later than others.

Well, I've been adapting to the changes, and haven't noticed anything too bad.
I do kinda of wish you could still use the old YouTube channel layout if you wanted to.

TripleXero · Post » 27 Jun 2013, 05:05

The font is different, I noticed too. But it doesn't look like that

Wilo · Post » 27 Jun 2013, 05:19

Google always makes shitty changes.

Camewel · Post » 27 Jun 2013, 05:36

The new channel layout makes it so people can't make their channel look bad and gives the site a nice consistant feel.
Internet users are always such idiots when it comes to even the smallest change.

The only thing I don't like that they changed (not even that recently) is that there use to be an option on videos to watch more by the user without going to their channel

EDIT: I'm starting a Game Grumps project that came to mind after hearing about Jon leaving the show, I think I might make the levels a community project, but I'm far off from that. Anyways, here's Jon:

You play it on your "my tablet"? Pretty cool. I tried searching for it everywhere but I couldn't find it.

I never watched GameGrumps either.

Rarely enough, sometimes Youtube on other websites sometimes show the original YouTube design.

Why isn't Waluigi in Wario ware games?
He doesn't even make a cameo.

TurretBot · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 03:04

Because, Waluigi is the main character in the spin-offs!

TheJonyMyster · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 03:05

Well, that ended quickly.

TripleXero · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 03:55

What even is Waluigi? Is he in anything of his own? Where did he even come from?

idiot9.0 · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 04:18

Waluigi is just a fill in character that's supposed to be a rival to Luigi, like how Wario is to Mario. He first appeared in the sports titles on the N64 (to my knowledge) but hasn't ever appeared in a Nintendo game outside of Sports/Kart titles.

In short, he's a fill-in character, created for the sheer sake of being a fill-in character. And he is terrible.

TheJonyMyster · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 04:22

I think Nintendo Power (*sniffle*) had a pretty good idea how Wario and Waluigi are relative to each other.
(refer to issue 265)

Also, Waluigi is still worth putting in his own game, or at least being put in a non-sports/party game, even if it's very shortly or non-playable.

TurretBot · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 06:03

Waluigi COULD be good, they just never gave him a chance.
TL;DR y u no waluigiware?

idiot9.0 · Post » 28 Jun 2013, 06:08

Because Waluigi is a terrible character, has no use whatsoever other than being a "Wario" for Luigi, and is pretty much a filler character. Seriously, he was created to be just that: FILLER. Most every other character in any of the Sports/Kart games have had another role somewhere in a Nintendo game other than him.

I've never played it but I'm glad he wasn't in Mario Kart 7. He's a terrible character.
