Remember me?

Post by Machu »

Yeah, ya do.

You all probably want to know about my life situation. I've decided to go back to college to complete my Computer Science degree. Computer Science is cool, and I want to work as a Software Engineer someday (and by that, I mean make loads of money (by bachelors standards (both meanings of "bachelor" intended))). I don't want to be a professional game maker for a living, I just want to do it as a hobby, and it so happens I'm good at programming. You should see my SpaceChem scores!

Oh, my game stuff? I've used unemployment an excuse to get lazy about it. That and I get no backing :( . I figure, if I get you guys to harp on me and annoy me about my games, I'll feel more obligated to keep making content. Please, be rude and critical! I'm too old for you guys to be nice, and I get my best work done from either jealousy or spiting someone. Remember when I made a cutscene that was just an old "terrible game" done in my style? Remember when I got 2nd place in a pixel art contest that I entered only because I didn't like the previous entries? (that one is actually pretty relevant to something I'm about to post)

My Steam account page should be http://steamcommunity.com/id/majinchu (though my gamertag is Machu). Currently, my gaming interests are Diablo 3, Tribes: Ascend, Super Monday Night Combat, and maybe Team Fortress 2. But the reason I'm bringing this up is this is the best way to contact me. As in, message me and go "You working on your game, son?", and if I answer "no", then I'll feel bad and want to work on it more.

According to my Youtube page, my Metal Slug remake was the most popular project I've shown. But I haven't touched it in years, and I've got a new secret project I'm really interested in. I'll drop some hints:

I'm modding some other game. Though to fit that game more, she'd have to be facing the screen. And shifting her eyes back and forth. If I tell you too much more, then you'd have nothing to ask me about now, would you?

You are a terrible person, and you should feel ashamed of everything!

... did it work? ;)

Hello Machu, and welcome back!
I've seen your face around older threads. The only game of yours I played was, IIRC, Wow, This Is Awesome! (With Sound).

No, I'm afraid I don't. I'm guessing you're not here to make anything with the OHRRPGCE, considering you uploaded a Game Maker game here in the past and are now overtly talking about making a Doom clone. (If you actually are going to make a Doom game with the OHRRPGCE, please note that someone else is currently working on one.)

Your secret project is currently about as interesting as a bag of chips with the Batman logo on it. I'm going to eat through your deep-fried details very quickly and my interest is going to wane even quicker unless you either give everyone more satiating details or come up with another sustainable gimmick.

I may have seen your avatar somewhere around here before, but I don't remember you...of course, I'm a fairly new member, so yeah.

And you aught to get on to working on your games, you should totally show some images here or something so we can get an idea of your works, I guess.

You know you want tooooooo. :v:

HURRY UP! MAKE YOUR GAME! YOU ARE LAZY AND WEAK!

By the way, there's like, two dozen Machus on steam... are you the one with the Pikachu Hitler Icon? I remember someone here having that at one point.

Dang, I want to post more graphics and pictures, but I've mostly been working only on code up until now. It'd just be stick figures punching each other. In 1st person this time.

Well there, now I feel like making more graphics. After I do more status bar faces, maybe I'll make the claws weapon.

So yes, I'm thinking about a total conversion of Doom, using the ZDoom source port. I'm planning on the name "Brutal Brittany", and our main character is a close-range specialist. Weapons will include melees, shotguns, and slow-moving fireballs. Each weapon will have an alt-fire that consumes a regenerating "Rage Gauge", and there's no health in the level; healing items are dropped by every enemy instead! The melee weapons also drain health, so to prepare for a big fight, find a room full of the wussiest mooks and kill 'em with your bare hands!

EDIT: What amazing timing, my video card has died. Time to transfer files and reinstall programs on my laptop. At least it's a new laptop: I can play Doom mods a-okay. My last laptop overheat running ZDoom for 10 minutes, I kid you not. And maybe I'll be distracted less by computer games now. ..... fat chance, I'll probably just play more old or low-tech ones. :gonk:

What resounding indifference. But hey, I finally got my video card replaced. I probably should've been focusing less on code and more and graphics so I'd have more to show. So far, I've rotoscoped my hands. And summer is almost over! :(

Don't worry. If your code is good, the graphics won't matter so much. Just try to get something, anything done. It'll make you feel better and that's the important thing. I'm really glad to see you back and making games and I'm sorry I haven't yelled at you any.
