It seems like most of the RPG Maker games out there are fan games or parody games. It's also used a lot by children who have really ambitious ideas, but immediately get hit in the face with the reality of the program's limitations.
People try to make "practice games" in anticipation of creating their dream games, but the practice games are uninspired and life gets in the way.
@beardalaxy Maybe it's easier for those who use specialized game engines like RPG Maker, but for the rest of us, you need to analyze various games of various genres and see how they work. For example, puzzle games might not be the most popular type of games, but their mechanics are everywhere.
I think it's really hard for the younger generation who are spoiled by newer and more complex games. You really need to learn from older games (and I'm talking about 80s arcade games), even if you find them boring.
@beardalaxy @j My CS professor in college loved Programmer's Notepad. You could try that, but I haven't used it myself.
It seems like what really holds people back when it comes to gamedev isn't the lack of design, programming, or art experience. It's not playing a diverse amount of games to truly appreciate the medium.

Most people know by now that microplastics are building up in our environment and within our bodies. However, according to Dr. Leonarde Transande, director of environmental pediatrics at NYU School of Medicine, there are ways to reduce the influx of plastics into our bodies.

On Friday, an attorney for Ascension Health, a major U.S. hospital operator, wrote to Maine’s attorney general to tell him the electronic personal health information (e-PHI) of Ascension patients and employees were compromised during the ransomware attack that occurred in May that affected nearly 5.6 million people.

You realize the narrative changed, right? The murderer was from a rich family and never had United Healthcare and the CEO was from a middle class family that did not have any big money.
That's the narrative switch. Now the narrative is no longer about the rich evil man .. now he's evil BECAUSE he got rich! The narrative has switched to anti-merit and pro-commie.
My third job out of college was Health Insurance. It was a very wasteful business. I sat down in meeting with a c-suite person who probably made 5x~10x more than me. I saw millions get wasted away on stupid adverts to make people healthier. I think a lot of things were misguided .. but I never wanted any of my managers/directors to die. Most of them had families. Most were honestly good people ... or at least not worse people than any other industry I've worked in ... as far as I could tell anyway.
I'm not okay with dead CEOs. That's a shitty, unscalable, and ineffective solution.
To fix the medical situation, you really need an entirely separate system: cheap schools for unlicensed doctors, their own boards and who push against vaccines and unnecessary surgeries. Medicine needs to be less regulated and treated more as a religion (which it is). The Church of the Board Cert needs to break away into sects and there need to be so many neo-doctors onboard with the cult that it clogs up the courts with Patch Adam's style cases of "doctors without a license."
People didn't get sick like this decades ago, but we're still better than a century ago. But instead of real change, this propaganda narrative will just get people riled up and angry and totally fine when Orange Man starts pushing some insane new medical system connected to carbon credits or crypto-shit.

@eisai It feels like nobody gives enough attention to any of the games before VIII mostly because Falcom has always been obscure outside of Japan. I honestly prefer the older (pre-Seven) games due to their simplicity, but unless you grew up with a TurboGrafx or rented Ys III on the SNES or Genesis, you probably never even heard of the series until VIII.

@Tadano @Forestofenchantment @lich Him taking that shit way too seriously reminds me of people being banned from GameFAQs because they joked about being a fetus.

@lich @Forestofenchantment "Remember when you could get defedded from Poast over a nose?"
Given that there seems to be more talks about Bird Flu, let me just say that it is vitally important that you do everything within your power to resist and prevent another global, world-changing psyop, be it a pandemic or anything else. So many lives have been ruined due to the events that happened just a few years ago, and we haven't fully recovered. We absolutely CAN NOT deal with another shitshow.
