64D themed games

Posted by Malaika on Aug. 10, 2006, 5:17 a.m.

I've been noticing a lot of 64Digit -themed games going around lately. Games where the members are the characters and suchforth.

Now, I'm just expressing my own opinions here, but I think they're kinda cool. While none of them have really been of an exceptionally good quality (with the very notable exception of ColumnsX) it is an intriguing idea. Getting members to submit sprites eliminates much of the graphical work required in a game, and you already have people to model your character's personalities and traits on.

Is it such a bad thing that this new breed of games has emerged? A genre that can be enjoyed only by the member involved in the site. Surely it promotes loyalty to the whole thing. It would be nice if those who made the games would put some more effort into developing them, though. I'm just saying that a game based on a community such as this one deserves a little bit of polish, don't you agree?

Check out this music video that we put together a few months back. Its a music video of us having fun kicking arse in Ravenshield RAVENSHIELD: SAVIOUR

And an update - no, I am still yet to be in one…

Not that I really mind. I'm just being picky.

On the note of pickiness, I WANT THE CHAT BACK. I know the admins have said its never coming back, and it seems as though they mean it. The Flashchat was good - people have the right to be annoyed with it being slow - after going through the other one, I'm sure everyone can agree that Flashchat is good. Seriously, I'm prepared to take one for the team here…

Anyway. I just thought I'd get a bit of whining done while I'm at it.

DM is still in a rut. I'm gettin there.

*possible language ahead - I'm angry*

The webcomic is coming along great. I have the first 2 strips penciled, and they will be inked as soon as my tablet arrives. Which should be anytime the fucking suppliers get off their fucking arses and ship the fucking thing… Its been 2 FUCKING MONTHS…

Sorry bout that…

Thats… about it, I think. Oh, and if you guys enjoyed DM, then check out KIRA - DEATH GOD OF THE MOON

Mal out!

I agree on both points. It is a great idea, but the releases generally need polishing (so far 64Quest looks promising).

lol i started a new project called Kinesis and the last boss's name is melee v2.0. The game itslef is about the 64D server being invaded by a virus and you have to clean it.

I got this idea right when the old server started having weird glitches and stuff.
