@beardalaxy If you want to make games right away (i.e fresh out of college or even high school) without climbing the corporate/AAA ladder. It's basically a requirement.

@PurpCat Yet the moment they get fired from their job or get kicked out by their landlord, they immediately put their XMR address up.

@Rocket @PurpCat I've checked both Firefox-based and Chromium-based browsers, they all still let you open local documents.

@PurpCat I mean you could start off by learning to program batch files or shell scripts, but those are limited to text-only games. I started off programming by learning to make batch file games.

Most Linux distros have compilers and interpreters for every language known to man preinstalled so if you grew up with Linux, you are all set.

Or you can simply just write HTML5 games in JavaScript using your favorite text editor. But that assumes that kids realize that all they need is Notepad (or whatever text-editor they have) and their preferred Internet browser. But most kids these days can't even tell how a filesystem even works.

It seems like the only way you can end up as a successful game developer is if you grew up with your own computer and your parents gave you unlimited computer privileges.

Trying to replace the BS Zelda male avatar sprite with something that I own (well a modified version of a public domain sprite).

I'm not a good pixel artist when it comes to humanoid characters. I tried to get help on OGA's forums, but activity is too low on that place and I don't know anywhere else that I can get help. This probably won't be the final sprite, but I'm running out of options, and I want to get this game done so I can move on.
