I wish some rich entrepreneur would go out, buy Sega, Capcom, and various other publishers past their prime and the beat em into shape for the next generation. Their IP's alone are probably worth more than the companies at this point, simply allowing capable dev teams who are focused on the core aspects would do a lot of good for any of these publishers.

idk, Capcom still knows how to make good games, they're just stupid in every other department.

People are mad at Tim Shafer for some reason.
all I know is that he made a joke about gamergate using a sock puppet, and for some reason hired Phil Fish to be a DJ at their party.
I just don't get why people are screaming bloody murder.

Well he scammed people out of 3.3 million dollars, they have a right to be mad.

“I was out getting some personal things when my debit card was declined,” wrote Schafer, “I joked with the cashier saying that was impossible because I had three million dollars in there. Turns out, I don’t have three million dollars in there anymore. It just disappeared. I would have called the police, but I don’t think this was a theft.”

“In fact, I think it was just silly old me misplacing some money as usual,” admitted Schafer, “I know people entrusted me with their money to make Broken Age and we’re still going to do that. We just need a little more money is all. And I know that we just finished our Massive Chalice Kickstarter as well. In fact, I had set the goal even higher for that project because I knew I would probably misplace half of that money as well.”

Misplacing some money....and he is daring to ask more money?

Tim Shafer scammed people?

Anywho, watching Power Puff Girls on Netflix and its kinda watching this show again. Everything is so simplistic and the rules of perspective are kinda vaguely followed. I wouldn't attribute the simplicity to simply being a specific art style either, it's just simple. Everything is basic shapes and its weird to remember that it actually aired on TV with such a basic look.

This is when you realize everything taught in you in art school is useless and that sometimes art style can be make something very basic amazing.

So I had a random idea for something using that cartoon style I've been playing with lately. Seeing as I don't know how to make cartoons I'm thinking of trying to make something else of it.

Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, Resident evil 6, Revelations 1 and 2 are good and fun to play though the story and writing is where people are generally divided.

...What else have they done aside from that? Those are the only recent things I can think of >.>

meh. still a pathetic company. For reasons

The problem is you used the damn "fun to play" card which I can not argue against. YOU JERK!!!

That I didn't know, You think Tim would've called his bank to see where that money is or something. That is a dick move.

But to be fair, the reason why people gave him money in the first place was make awesome video games. which he is providing with Broken Age and Grim Fendango. Wait a minute.... Do you think that Sony was involved with this?

According to the Steam Reviews, the HD re-release of Grim Fandango is a cheap cash grab

by **-Mazer** Fri Mar 06, 2015 5:33 pm

I wish I had someone to co-op this game with....

:-\

*learns how to do animations in photoshop*

...I want to try something

Are you sure it's from legitimate reviews and not from the GameGaters? cause they've been attacking Tim non stop since that Sock puppet thing.

Also how is it a cheap cash grab? It's a remake of a classic game that wasn't available on many platforms. Nothing was cutout. The game is played like it did when it first came out. There are no online transactions, which, I'm not even sure how you could do that with a point and click game. So what is making people say it's a cheap cash grab?

"Oh, I just misplaced 3 million dollars. No big deal."
Damn. I wish I could be that light with money...

just from what I read:

Game crashes, frame-rate issues, bad pixalation issues, not proper "hd" etc etc.

well, I think I should put a background color next time...

by **-Mazer** Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:27 pm

That looks pretty good so far, Legend

And I am surprised people are still bitching bout "gamegate". What EXACTLY is it anyway? Just some sleezy girl who slept with people to get reviews?

by TensePsychopath Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:28 pm

It's a whole heap of SJW/Feminism related shit that you're better off not knowing about.

that's not what happened. A female dev cheated on her boyfriend, it was never for review scores, she was just unfaithful.

Gamer Gate exploded from that.

by LegendX48 Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:44 pm

Also, @ Mazer, thanks. It was kinda tedious making it but it made me smile watching it loop in photoshop and it also gave me an idea. I wanna try it again but this time do it on pencil/paper and then bring it into photoshop for animating.

But first, tutorials and junk.
