2005 is when I showed up. I'd been making games since 2002, but I didn't really become part of the community until 2005.

Of course, I have a tendency to disappear for months at a time. And the longer I stay away, the more afraid I become to return.

Just work towards making your game better. Besides these emotional outbreaks from the result of lack of self-esteem, you haven't done anything to make us hate you.

Yeah, like how some of us feel about that slime Rya from CP. It's not just my opinion on him, I've spoken to other ohr-ers who can't stand the guy at all.

I can understand why you dislike Rya, but I don't get why you obsess about him so much.

Enough OT. You can whine about each other in gen disc if that's what you want.

I started using the engine fairly early on. First, there's a little bit of backstory: Before I knew that there even existed a Hamster Republic, an OHRRPGCE, or a James Paige, I was experimenting with my own game engine concept. Using Turbo Pascal 7.0, I managed to produce a crude graphics editor, map editor, and scrolling engine. The latter was jerky at best, and the only graphics were solid 16x16 blocks. After admitting to myself that I sucked at programming, hard, I hit the internet in search of guidance...and I found the Hamster Republic.

Since then, I haven't touched a programming language. I've had no need to; everything I ever sought to achieve through programming was all right here in this tiny, free-yet-priceless package. It exempted me from that one huge, painful step, and allowed me to manifest my ideas that much more instantaneously.

Then, I discovered the community aspect. In its internetish context, I found the word <i>community</i> to be a bit daunting. I'd never been the socially intrepid kind, and talking to strangers online was no less uncomfortable an idea. Yet, I figured if I was going to make and release games, I'd need to put myself out there and get involved. So I took that big, bold step.

That's when, as you slimeholers would put it, the slime hit the fan. Looking back on the trail of shame left in my wake - the ridiculous games, the goofy forum antics - I wish I'd have stayed in the shadows until I had some competence, instead of lobbing piece after piece of lame, shot-from-the-hip crap onto the gamelist. Even after all this, though, I still try.
