Video Discussion / Re: Swordslinger's Series Z Progress Thread
« on: July 29, 2017, 04:49:28 PM »
I highly apologize for the huge necropost first of all

I have completely updated and modified this thread to everything i have on Series Z, incomplete shit even if its undoable for me is just there as a just in case measure and so i don't have to edit it in manually later.

As a request though I would like this thread completely cleaned if a moderator could do that of any replies except this one and the very first post containing all of my videos, I have completed Series Z 2 and just decided to update this tread as it goes along, thanks for all of the support and such.

Announcements / Re: Team overhaul
« on: February 10, 2017, 05:47:56 PM »
I never ran a high quality stream because i don't have the equipment to do so but i always tried to do my best to make it as watchable as possible and just as fun as possible for me, I was inactive for a month because i lost my pc but i didn't make my inactivity a secret either, i gave a vague tweet and that was it, only a couple people know the full story. As of now I do plan to upscale my equipment after a couple (major) things are taken care of so it's a curse i'm stuck with for a few months if not more. I do think the team got a little overflowed true, but i do hope that this will lead to a better future, most of the experience with watching streams for me is the streamer himself and if i like the game and i don't like the streamer one bit, i don't even care if its a game i greatly adore, you'll never see me in that stream. This was just my overall experience, and i don't think there is much else to say. As zero said as well this is your team so do as you see fit.

It's entirely possible to make it to the gallery on your own and figure it out, Yaranaika too me sure is one of the hardest bosses to no hit in the game, but everyone had to earn their way to the gallery no less, and the boss portals don't work on the gallery in the public version anyway, sorry man, you're on your own.

Gameplay & Discussion / Re: Serious fangame making questions
« on: November 25, 2016, 02:00:04 PM »
I'll answer honestly.

How much appreciation and support (if any) do fangame creators deserve, and are they currently getting enough?
For me personally, it depends on the creator, someone like you who made things like Jtool and put together Spook Jam (Which I still need to play, but i'm currently reserving a spot for 450 clears so i can't play it yet) This question to me is highly dependent on the creator, if they worked hard on something and poured some sweat into something sure they deserve the support and such, but if it's someone who made a happil medley which we see on sometimes a regular basis then keep walking. (I'm quite picky)

Is it okay to heavily criticize people’s fangames that they made on their own time for everyone to enjoy?
In my personal opinion yes, while people do make these fangames for challenge or simply for enjoyment how will you know what's wrong and what's correct without criticism even if it's a lot, Haegoe for instance got heavily criticized for his older games and since then hes improved quite a lot. Although since these are games and games do get heavily criticized by game reviewers i don't see these getting special treatment, since they are still games, just made by the fans.

How much patience and forgiveness (if any) should fangame streamers and players be expected to have?
This is a very person dependent question, since some people can be very patient and not very forgiving and some can be the opposite of that or both patient and forgiving or both not having those traits. It's one i can't personally answer because it depends from person to person.

What is the right balance of encouraging quality fangames while not scaring off potentially good creators?
This depends on the person but not as much as the last question, criticism is always important fuel to the train, as well as praise and not flat out cursing at the creator because something is too hard or too easy or it's just bad, I think all of us have made this mistake of lashing out one time, and depending on the response you either scared away the creator or you didn't. So really this is a very dependent question depending on who you talk too and who has a spine and who doesn't the way i see it.

To what extent can you be proud of a fangame that heavily uses other people’s content? (spook jam, medleys, and in general using music+sprites+sounds made by others)
Hard question honestly, Spook Jam doesn't go very far into using other peoples content so lets leave that out of the mix, I personally like it but it's very dependent on the game, to some extent to me how much the original is respected and how much is going to change or if things will not change it just very depends. In a way i'm not sure how to answer the question and to what medleys i enjoy and what i don't, it's usually a hit or miss thing unless something changes that ruins it for me, so i'm proud depending on if i like it or not, if that makes sense.

Is it okay to use the self-made assets of other people’s fangames?
I'm guessing you mean something like catastrophe has double speed so you make double speed on your own, if you're talking about reusing a gimmick that other people used then yes i think it's fine if you create original screens with it, if that's not the answer then i don't understand your question.

To what extent (if any) are quality fangames not getting attention they deserve?
Very dependent on the fangame, something like a new big release is usually played for a week by damn near everyone and usually dies down to 1-3 people. I honestly can't answer this question for the very reason that quality fangames if noticed do get attention, just it dies down after a bit.

To what extent (if any) are fangame creators limiting their creative growth as opposed to making freeware games for a bigger, more general audience?
None at all, sure you can make fangames for the community here and be very creative with it, however if you were to move onto a different set of games then I think you can still make something creative, experience comes with time and it is really up to you on how you use it.

Hope this helped, these are the best i can answer these.

Since there hasn't been a reply yet, i guess i can accept a position here, however the bugging part of this is where would everyone talk about inactive members? To be honest i don't really have a need for Discord and i don't really want it and i know you den don't want to use skype at all either, so this is the only thing i object to with something like this, and since i recommend members a lot to you, i feel like i can do something like this.

Gameplay & Discussion / Cultured 2 Copyright Claim Damage Report
« on: October 03, 2016, 12:35:09 AM »
So as of tonight, I uploaded everything of Cultured 2, and to put it simply, multiple videos got claimed 3 even blocked in Germany, I'm not annoyed at the claims (though i am annoyed that 3 are blocked in another country) so I will be posting every claim for the fun of it and to poke some fun at it, without further ado.

(Posting actual screenshots under a spoiler is a bit too much work and a bit too much saving, so each case will have its own seperate link)

Stage 2:
httpss://gyazo.com/c1210dfea38281eadfb2fe957b0fd166
Same claim on Bifficult

Stage 3:
httpss://gyazo.com/2ca01a77d512b3d1095da1b363c57ff5
Same claim on Bifficult

Stage 4:
httpss://gyazo.com/c8bbbffa8cdee3fb147ebcd52fedc0be
Same claim on Bifficult

Stage 5 Bifficult:
httpss://gyazo.com/8dfa3c33c7d3a893fe268ff1a2cf9485
PARANOIA Is a seperate claim for Bifficult only because it's in the bonus round.

Stage 6:
httpss://gyazo.com/60398ec68b719e1c63c0623f5b64cc18
Luckily they haven't took this one down yet, this one could be restored to normal, but this claim blocked the video in Germany.

Challenges:

Thanks SME For rejecting the dispute :)

Final Video:

This is honestly an odd one, i never got a claim like this before.

And that ends the damage report, if you had fun looking through all of this then well, what can i really say?
This was a fun game, i had a fun time with it.

I didn't read the blog on autohosting so i'm kinda in the dark here, but this may add onto Bbf's previous question, is can you control who gets autohosted, if you can this might be a feature and rule i'd be willing to follow and if not then will, the opposite effect will take place on my end. I'm full willing to do this but I really would like to control who gets hosted, adding onto what wolsk said some of us would like to distance ourselves from others or just distance ourselves in general, that's the only thing i'm skeptical about with this feature, if the answer is confirmed the answer will vary my actions on this rule.

As for removing inactive members i'm a very off and on member when it comes to streaming, since my equipment is made of potatoes  and right now i have a personal problem on top of that. What would you do for members that say not stream for 2 weeks, stream consistently for a month, stop for another 2 weeks or more, so on and so fourth, this sounds like a stupid question to me for some reason but I feel like i want it addressed

Grapple vines?
What are you talking about actually?

All of leehe's games are deleted due to a dispute he was having. I'm personally not giving you anything and i'm not sure why you're so interested in a lot of this stuff anyway, Insanity Ultimate has never been beaten and honestly you didn't even specify what Leehe games (Assuming you wanted one) you wanted. Being honest i'm a little skeptic over you, only 4 posts and asking for games that don't have a download link and i don't know you one bit. I hate to sound rude but i think it'd be better if you specified the reason on why you wanted this stuff and as for leehe games, what you want.

User-Made Creations / Re: I wanna get Cultured 2
« on: September 14, 2016, 01:25:45 AM »
just got to the final boss and I can't quit? how do I close the game and have my progress save?

You can press backspace to return to the small area before Biff and there you can use the pause menu, don't worry it wont save there.

A typo.



How long has this forum been around again? I'm surprised no one caught that to be honest i didn't even catch it, or maybe someone did and no one mentioned it, did something happen i don't know about?
