NEW ZULAG FOR GAME DEVELOPERS
 
Hi, us game developers would really like a new zulag so we can share ideas and stuff, fancorner is completley crowded with our posts, could you do it OWIF?

Wil 08-29-2009 12:38 PM

Who on earth is OWIF?

STM 08-29-2009 12:40 PM

Oddworld Inhabitants Forums? I guess

It's how a cockney pronounces Alf.

Hey, I saw a documentary about people from the Isle of Man on The Fast Show.


Fuzzle Guy 08-29-2009 01:08 PM

Haha, shove off.

Jordan 08-29-2009 01:17 PM

I love what you guys do to threads. I really do.

Right. Get them all in one place so we can be certain no one survives. Of course, we tried that with Fan Corner, but it just languished in development hell.

Leto 08-29-2009 04:01 PM

What a fucking stupid idea. You're not game developers if you use software called Game Maker, you're just little boys with little toys.

No can has zulag.

Software Bug 08-29-2009 04:02 PM

This is a very bad idea, the fan corner was made for everyone who feels creative about oddworld (and other things), that INCLUDES those who make gamers. Everyone is allowed to discuss the games we make.

If you don't like people discussing your game or looking at your discussions with other game developers may I suggest:

PM: http://www.oddworldforums.net/private.php
MSN: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/product...r/default.mspx
Yahoo: http://messenger.yahoo.com/
AIM: http://dashboard.aim.com/aim
etc. etc. etc.

Edit: Leto, you are my king. Your comment is awesome :)

Is calling yourself a developer because you have ideas cool these days?

Wings of Fire 08-29-2009 04:38 PM

I say yes, let's eradicate Fan Corner and put a stop to Splat's reign of terror,

I found out the other day criminals still get hung from the neck here, on the I LOV MAN

Sekto Springs 08-29-2009 05:28 PM

Don't eradicate the fan corner. I can actually draw.

Wings of Fire 08-29-2009 05:42 PM

Then draw man! Give me a reason to not just double click the symbol and pretend I'm a forum guru.

Sekto Springs 08-29-2009 05:45 PM

Well I'm planning a big thing, yo! Gimme time! JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME!
Don't destroy the FC yet, I beg of you!

Wings of Fire 08-29-2009 05:55 PM

Do not dissapoint Springs, I have e-peen beyond your wildest imaginations.

You actually bother to 'mark forum as read'? I just leave it green and ignore it.

Having spoken to NRR, my impression of the Isle of Man is that it's populated by nothing but chavvy deviants. NRR excepted, of course.

I think if they need some place to discuss games, they could get a subforum in fan cornen... If the moderators would have them.

Software Bug 08-30-2009 08:15 AM

But why? I mean there are also a lot of people who write fan-fiction or people who draw fan-art, should they all get separate section then? because then the forum just would get very split-up and wouldn't be any fun,,,

STM 08-30-2009 08:28 AM

Hey mods that actually put this topic off-topic, I know that sometimes you may give one of your rare and gracious visits but i'm quite certain that you donot spend time actually looking at how much game development stuff there really is, I can at least 5 people that are making a game right now.

I'm not saying destroy the fan corner =D
I'm saying that fan corner = 50% game dev threads. That's alot over one topic.

Jordan 08-30-2009 09:02 AM

5 people really is not enough to get its own forum. And how many of those game projects will actually go on for more than a year, perhaps?

Wings of Fire 08-30-2009 09:09 AM

Use that.

Wil 08-30-2009 09:50 AM

No, this isn't going to happen. Fan Corner is not so bustling that it needs a portion of its threads moved to a dedicated forum. All threads posted to within the last 15 days fit within the first page, and only a third of the threads on the first page look like they're related to fan games. It's not hard for users to keep track of them.

I do thank you for your suggestion. As you point out, most moderators don't spend much time in FC, so we don't keep on top of what may be needed for its regulars. The merits of putting your suggestion into place were considered, but found to be quite low.

STM 08-30-2009 11:16 AM

Well thanks anyways Max, time to shut her down, no spamming topics =D

Wil 08-30-2009 12:05 PM

Yes, no spamming allowed.

That one is just annoying. The first video was true, Manx people are up themselves and do think the Isle of Man is God's gift to the world.

But that one is rubbish. The Isle of Man does not farm pigs and it's main local food is our kippers. The Fast Show should do some fucking research before taking the piss.

Leto 08-30-2009 09:17 PM

Or maybe The Isle of Manners should take a joke on the interweb before making angry posts about it amirite.

Fuzzle Guy 08-31-2009 04:31 AM

No! :fuzmad:
