What exactly is the difference?

I always think it's funny how different communities tend to be liked more than others. Myspace is more popular than Friendster, 64D seems to be more liked than GMC, etc. Why?

Well, I think it's the feeling of community. For example, at GMC, it's not a feeling of <b>community</b> as much as it is for 64D. Here, it's got more depth. Better people, badges for things, having your games showcased instead of put into a forum post. Here, it seems like more of a friendly place, and honestly, i'd rather be here.

Does anyone else feel the same way? I mean, surely there has to be opinions about it. Which do you guys like better? 64D, or GMC, or any other forum? Why?

Also, in game-related news, we've finished PowerPlanet 2: Powerplanet Advanced (or just PowerPlanet ADV. for short). If you guys liked the first one's concept, but had problems with stuff like gameplay and stuff, it's all fixed. Graphics, sound, gamplay (now there's an Easy and Hard mode). And if you guys havent played the first one: please do. Though it has its problems, it's still a good idea that we've expanded on. We're going to upload that one soon.

We've been searching through old WIPs, and are finding a couple we might want to expand on. A platformer, an arcade game that deals with gravity, maybe a SWAT game. But, who knows. We're trying to find innovative ideas, but at the moment, because of school, we're forced to focus on other things (like girls, duh).

GMC is where I go to be better than people. Here is where I go to see what my peers are doing. Or somehting to that effect.

Ah, i see. So, the way you guys see it, is that 64D is more of a community, like I said, but the other places are for more of the need help, give help, forum type thing? But, which do you prefer?

Hmmm thats a tough one. I like the feeling of being better than people, but I like talking to people know actually know what Im talking about.

In my opinion,64D is way better than GMC.

I agree with Blueboy. Just because of the feeling of more of a community, and being able to interact more with everybody. And, becuase i'm never better than anyone else on GMC, i'm usually always in the frequently asked questions board, frequently asking obvious questions. lol

64D is a real community and thats how we roll.

Ace02 makes sense all over your mom.

Nth Deg Innovation 18 years, 2 months ago

Yeah, Ace02 is right. But So is blueboy. 64D is a REAL community, and GMC is more classified as one (in it's name at least, though down to the basics, it's just a forum). Alright then.
