reposting this comment here bc i think its really important

a screenshot of a discord message that reads "not really directly pointed at anyone in this discussion, but wanted to say that it’s also always important to never use other fan projects to put down any other, as well. i’ve been seeing it in a few scattered places, but i ask that no one ever use grindworks as the standard for how fast projects should move. it’s the same way i felt a few years ago when i’d always see “clash releases updates so fast, why doesn’t ttr move at that speed?” pitting two passion projects against each other like that is only gonna make both teams feel awkward and bad.

doesn’t matter what game or project we’re talking about. clear coasts, gags and gadgets, event horizon, hostile takeover, etc. if any of those take multiple more years to come out it’s fine, and not a problem of any team being “lazy”. there will absolutely be a time where grindworks development slows down or even stops entirely. and i wouldn’t want to be called lazy for prioritizing my own life and responsibilities over my hobby. we can start calling toontown projects lazy for not updating once disney comes out and officially endorses the monetization of toontown’s fan projects, leading to the return of the membership. until then, you gotta be grateful for the free work being put in."

I'm rather late to the party and while it's not in RPG Maker, I DID make a small-scale RPG in Unreal for the #HawktoberHorrors #gamejam. Punch out some zombies, then it's time to get paid! #indiegame

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

To be clear, since I joined the Axial team six years ago. This is my opportunity to say that Sawyer's been at it since 2017 and the skills he built in pixel art and music were both solely for the sake of being able to make games on his own. Look at him now

callmeDJ @callmedj.bsky.social · 12d

Unbelievably proud of Sawyer for releasing his incredible third opus. I really wish I could have been a part of Silver Daze, but it's inspiring to see Sawyer come into his own as a solo dev since joining the Axial team six years ago. Buy and play this card-based JRPG today!
