all games are undervalued in 2015.

if you dont reach your goal, like if you dont quite reach it, kickstarter refunds all your backers and you get nothing

so they are hedging their bets. another way to do it is already have all the money and at the last moment, if you havent reached the goal, donate the difference, so you get to keep the money you raised. but you can only do that if you have the money. this new way is better, more transparent. it says, something like: if we only get 10 dollars we'll still make it, but w'll be disappointed.

looks pormising.

I suspect some of the posters on this forum imagine me to be a pretend game dev, only pretending to develop games, to mess with them. however, this is not the case. i cant imagine ever having time for that bullshit.

tanks. im back at uni next week, getting a bachelor of it. im going to learn all of the things this time. but its about time i made a tile editor i think. i'll keep posting.

edit: spotted a likely tocky clone on here today. like an actual sock puppet, someone who did not exist four days ago, but claims to. someone apparently develeping a game for teh purposes of messing with me. that one is satirical though they are making a game. this is progress. they are evolving.

but yeah, i'm better because im not new, and im the genuine article.

all the nerds i meet either arent interested or dont care about the interesting solutions i make for difficult problems.

im not a huge fan of that game either tbh. i guess it is the monad: the pipe and not the picture of the pipe. but it spends a lot of time describing the pixture. you can't smoke it. too much half life railroad bullshit, not enough actual decision making. you can decide not to play it, but i preer playing games. sims, i guess. games where every possible outcome isnt mapped out before the player.

in short, its a bunch of premade levels not procedural games.

illusionist dm bullshit, i prefer chaos.

but points to torchkas for actually understanding recombination, having heard of a video game, and having a thing to say. im giving away points cheap these days.

youre still talking to me in the third person. talking to the mods and not to me.

you guys understand that this is also a competition right? take these assets and make something with them if you have all this time on your hands.

i'll throw in this one for free:

WHY THE VAPOR WAVE IS IMPORTANT
the vapor wave is a culture that appreciates women: nikki, grimes, lorde, even fucking taylor swift (whos pretty racist) but not iggy azalia (whos too racist)

but all these artists are important. why? because of the shitty way we treated britney spears and her contemporaries. because we do not fucks with pop.

in this way we can see that the vapor wave is better than all of the before: hip hop, metal, punk, goth, even fucking goth is too sad for what we need. we need the culture that appreciates women and gay people and blacks and muslims and the chinese.

all street cultures value men over women, even the fucking police.

consider: you could get girl in your punk some other way. but vapor wave is the shortest path. i dont really give a shit about cyan and magenta too much (im an orange and chartreuse duder) but i give a shit about minorities. i understand populations and psychology and economics better than the next nerd.

graff, prison, the mob, hip hop, these are street cultures that do no understand women or what they are for

the police, also, especially. shops. the sex industry. the games industry. science fiction.

women, gays, black people, lesbians, none of these appreciat women because none will look at the larger context

i dont mean "i am the only one among you who appreciates women". i mean, learn to think for yourself

first of all, role-playing is a game. you can gather three friends in a room and play the game im writing. i have done so, anyone could. you could do it on a thread on tigs. but lets not talk about my sanity anymore, i am more sane than you dorks. whatever kind of crazy i got, you got the crazy of being a game developer and not even giving a shit about games.

furthermore what im mking isnt so much a single game but a scheme of games. so assets, desiggn docs, all this early work needs to be done. its not usually paid work but it is work.

thirdly, if you dont care dont post.

so yeah: i'm making game-books and generators and assets right now. all this philosophy stuff actually matters. at least, it matters to me, and this is my thread. fuck off. making games is a longer-than-one-month process most of the time. none of you dudes are making anything i care about either.

for instance, canned tuna, the 'old earth' trope youre using is a JACK VANCE thing. came from vance. d&d as fuck. so learn your basics, you ingrate.

i will not harbor any dude that comes on my thread to talk to my detractors and not to me.

i have completed the first 0th-edition publishing cycle. that means i have a completed anonymous clone of the game on my blog. legal, open source, anyone can use. adventures and all. go be shit somewhere else.

you guys understand that every time you come in on my thread to tell me im crazy, tahts the shit that makes people crazy right? anxiety and depression happens because of neglect and being treated poorly. anxiety and depression isnt all i got.

so to you, and to all tigs who are shit and not supportive of indie devs, including the crazy ones: be less shit.

aro, if you're going to feign interest at least put some effort into it. i don't have to release anything according to your timetable. im not really here for your weak criticism. games take a long time to make but im actually makeing a lot of progress very quickly. you dont even care about this, otherwise you would take notice. its done when its done.

theres this wiki that does random generators

just random strings from lists
but you can point lists at other lists and there it gets interesting

anyway im trying to generate random stories
but all the stuff is anonymous, every line of the story doesnt know every other line.
i want to be able to remember variables without adding a new type or switching to a different wiki.

solution: i dont have to write stories that are strongly nonymous. they can be alcorithmic, like the 1001 nights.

do you guuys know what im talkign about? being a joke programmer is difficult. i'll explain any joke but not every joke

mornin.

ok, so i figured it all out
indies, open source, google, microsoft, yahoo, they all run the same service. we’re on the google indie service. hi. the prophet runs the same service, whoever your sub-prophet is. could be jw.org

they run anonymised clones of the exact same publishing service for different audiences. yahoo runs this service for goths, girls, girl goths, and everybody else who wants in (edit: google runs this service for dudes, grognards, dude grognards, and everybody) (zuckerberg shills for the colleges and the zuckerbergs)

and they want everybody. they want to eat each others sectors.
@rj these are the main elements. microsoft is hastur, the devil. yahoo is eredis eredis is behemoth, the flesh, the vaporwave. google is for hackers, open source types. thats leviathan. then the prophet is for your others. apple, unix, twitter, functional programming, zuckerburg, god. ziz and tiamat.

so like the indie sector is my sector, which means i am free to roam. this gives me a bunch of options and a bunch of disparate audiences. my largest is on google, so i cater to those pen and paper open source grognerds. but i’ll cater to any nerds i think might pay me.

which publisher pays me currently? the australian government publishing service and before that, the scholastic book club, the catholic church, and the royal australian air force.

before that, before any of us, there was the christians, the muslims, the jews and the gypsies, not to mention the chinese and japanese and the soviets. this is realpolitik by analogy. games are real. all this theory is backwards-compatible.

im not exactly destroying myself, just making a false prophet and a false cult of personality where there wasnt ne before. im marketing. everybody knows me now, they did not before. but thank you rj youre a good egg. ptoing, the mod on pixelation who banned me, is a friend of mine. morso now than ever. before this i was just a passive contributor to these forums but now i am an active one. or an assetive/agressive one. i have crossed over from being an unknown player to being a known (heretix) developer. i now form part of the tigs canon. and active more often. im not ashamed i just will not harbor bullshit. if a moderator is wrong i'll tell them. they really only banned me for six months but seven is a better number and you can bet im not gonna try to start shit in the first month after the ban...

i remember paul eres and i care about being moral on here. i want to be friendly to newbs on communities that have become very suspicious of news. and i will steal. paul eres does not steal. hes too lawful, im a chaos mage. its gotten bad enough that we have to steal or be stolen.

im kinda acting like a headhunter. i have let helm and ptoing and ilkke and arachne and everybody who makes good content know that i am friendly to them but not to mods. mods are just here to destroy everything good that might get made.

please read this post about how to save your weed, but also understand that it is a metaphor, an analogy

http://metalgret.tumblr.com/post/111046722487/occultism-in-australia

why australians are such good shitposters. also we can post on the night internet that disappears during the day. its a shit country tbh. anyone whos still proud of the country and proud of the flag is a facist. a lizard person but they do not know it. we have had time to process, lets do better in future.

i got a thing about the tarot, the bible, and the zodiac. are you guys ready for this shit yet?

http://evilbaboons.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/chaos-gods-rundown.html

im the reform candidate but im not a liberal (paul is liberal chaos, im neutral chaos or chaos chaos or neutral neutral. i can play any role) i represent ghosts and lizards and all of us. i represent the pixel.

gnosis is praxis in 2015. everybodys forgotten how to think for themselves.

edit edit edit: the truth is i can get a lot of shit done this way and fast, bc i do not care about the mod polic. i do not care about doing it lawfully. i will do it just-lawful-enough to not get banned. you guys can unpack it all later if you wish. maybe the next prophet will use teh tocky model. its basically just phil fish plus kindness to commenters that give a shit. i do not care about this. i can run an indie games on tumblr and twitter and wiki and googleplus, and blogger, but not without an audience. ive stopped listening to nerds who are wrong. in general, ive stopped listening. i  will only listen to nerds who are right. that means a lot of you dudes have to read philosophy.

i finished the campaign over at the other tigsource. they listen to me over there, now.

tbh its the same thing. a sword is a vote but a bunch of stars is a vote of another sort, being helm, you outrank a lot of mods you got more power to do shit around here than i do (though im not sure who holds power here anymore, the rogue samurai system seems kinda weak at quashing rebellion. i dont think we should reunite under a single pixel-god-king or anything i just think we should do more with what we have already ) tbh im an accelerationist not a kingmaker... i dont trust ptoing to be king, none of these dudes. not helm, not tocky, not ilkke, not arachne. so its better than whatever. but we can do a samurais thing but with more friendly samurais. the brush instead of the blade. build bridges

i think i may be advocating for traditional family values again. ill come back later and check to see if im still right.


ok yeah. utilitarianism. communism. friendly communism. guy with nothing to lose and a finger on the nuclear button that returns everything to samurais. basicaly what we have now but i ramble more. more rambling. let me protest the shitty mod policy by being like 5% too shitty about it. then dont ban me. the mods will get better at this. you just need a tocky in to kick the tires on this old girl, its gonna be ship shape. non-commisioned officers. a security specialist. the wolf in the henhouse. doesnt have to be me. also we need a christ figure if we need an antichrist. if im the devil then we need arachne or ilkke or somebody to restore balance. make them come here and do a ramblethread


find the ghosts and bring them back and ask them questions

in short:
-maniak mansion commercial crtique (we already did this! here in the off-topic. just move my posts and helm's into the appropriate subforum. and i will run the thread. i am self-moderating. someone make the preview images, i dont want to )
-more mods i like who are friends of me, tocky
-texts are pixels too, a subforum for text. where its ok to ramble
-stop telling me to go somewhere else, ive done that before and it only makes me more mad
-more chaos less order.

street catholic.


treat arachne, helm, and ilkke as three popes. the trinity.

treat me as a ghost who we must listen to. the devil.

treat me, arachne, helm, and ilkke as the four epistles. more-or-less infallible even though not mods. still banable if we get out of line.

who is jesus? the pixel is jesus.

the father-and-son is hastur. helm.

the virgin (sorry) is arachne.

the holy spirit is ilkke.

actually we're all the holy spirit. ilkke is just the most neutral duder we have. we need him for non-binary ideas. ptoing will listen to helm and ilkke and arachne. maybe even tocky.

then who's jesus? we dont know yet, we havent met him yet.

tocky is only a false jesus.

 i guess ptoing is the current pope. what ptoing says is law/ ptoing said we must care about the c64 and so we have cared about it.


we need 12 mods: 3 helms, 3 arachnes, 3 ilkkes, 3 tockies. strong triads that support themselves. representative democracy.

fire, air, earth, and water. benders from every nation. the zodiac. let each triad have dominion over its own domain. edits for the dwarf people. girls for the elf people. neutrals for the neutral planet. ghosts for the void. chaos.

alex is a tocky. ptoing is a helm.

lets get more girls and neutrals and ghosts back in here we already got dudes to spare. too many helms. we need the cult of eredis to counter the cult of hastur. this completes the trinity, and completes the cult of tiamat. listen to some vaporwave or something. listen to grimes. scrap princess teaches us this.

EDIT: IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO GET ME TO SHUT UP ABOUT THIS SHIT, this ultimately got me banned on wayofthepixel for seven months and seven month nights. a long fucking time. but um. tbh you guys should follow suit. im gonna run the same sort of chaos ops here, and you guys dont like it either. im going deep underground. LONG LIVE THE UNDERSIDE SAFETY COMITTEE

if you want to talk about it pm me.

don't you live on the gold coast? if you want to do fights or talk about the pixel we could do

( you guys realise that all of surts art is free and he can out-pixel me right? go steal that stuff )

surt, i am fond of you.

'psycho' is ableist. anyway. someone tell that dude to fuck off for me. HE ENJOYS MY WORK BUT NOT MY COMPANY.

the generator's going strung, i got most of the bugs out if it.
some of the subgenerators are very confusing, but deliberately so. it does confusing output sometimes for mystery's sake/

thank you. that all being assemblee stuff, anyone can use.

heres a thing that generates a bunch of cool shit you need:

LOVING THESE GHOST BUILDINGS. EXCITING

http://rottenpulp.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/cowardice-treachery-ineptitude-insanity.html

goblet grotto is ok and i am a fan of those devs of goblet grotto. my good friend dungeon mster jack mack is a big fan of goblin grotto and i have to listen to that dude bc i know him in real life and from uni AND I PLAY D&D WITH HIM AND HES THE DUNGEON MASTER AND YOURE SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO THAT DUDE. and i have to collaborate wiith him sometimes. so i have to listen

you can see my collabs with that dude on his blog: http://rottenpulp.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/matt-rundles-anti-hammerspace-item.html
on my blog: http://evilbaboons.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/a-map-of-dragon-mountains.html
and youtube:


and our thesis from uni: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?19asfq79sfshlvi
( which is rushed on my end, but you must understand even if jack wrote it that we collaborate on the form of these ideas - im more of a map guy, a layout guy, a sketch and a glitch. he is concerned more strictly with the truth and with publishing good ideas than am i, a filthy neutral hacker type )

me and jack both are fans of sherlock and true detective but i prefer THE STRAIN and THE X FILES. BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT ON SOME LEVEL ALL DUDES ARE THE SAME DUDE, ALLONEDUDEOKRANES TEACHES US THIS

if this stuff seems unfinished i havent had the energy to work on it yet, tell me what needs work

so like even if i don't strictly care about encumberance (i care about not carrying more things than i can remember) jack mack can make me care about it and we agree on other stuff

i like this thing: http://www.mickeyalexandermouse.com/frogfortune/

the goblet tarot. i suppose i am fimly in teh goblet grotto camp but its no morrowind/nuclear throne/red sun/planescape hybrid

i am also fond of penny arcade. it's clear that gabe wants to start shit but tycho just wants to write lengthy meditation and kiko keeps them both in line.

i don't think we should throw away penny arcade because they did a rape joke that one time, or bc the strawberry shortcake thing, or whatever. they do a lot of goofy jokes over there.

im a huge fan of the webcomics deepnet though : jerk city and death to the extremist and lore sjoberg and achewood and etc. but i dont really follow these guys either these days

http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23 michael skala, a filthy neutral, his essay on color in paranoia

goblin grotto does not quite contain the game it is a parody of (otherwise it would be bigger than skyrim) it's poetempkin. a precursor. a false nerevar. much love to those guys though

paranoia does contain d&d. you can play it straight, or play it funny, you can play it hardcore. it's extensible

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/09/09 you can see that i am tycho but i have to be gabe and kiko and all these dudes if i want to get all the good ideas into my game

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/04/01/the-way-of-all-flesh << penny arcade on point. we have to be better than just satires of games, we have to be games
