Old topics are funny...

I was bored again today, and I decided to pay a visit to THE GREATEST site that was ever made, thats right:

The GMC!

Of course if you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic, but it is actually quite a laugh to look back on old topics and see what an idiot you've been, and remember what you were thinking at the time you made the topic…

Here are some of my 'highlights'

aah, my first ever game, how sweet. I thought I was pretty cool making this first game, but as you can tell from the 'reviews' it was actually pretty sucky…

And I was also a bit stupid as well with double posting and all that…

Oh and for anyone whose bothered: I never remade that game, and I never will…

A little later on, than my first game (about a month or so) I came up with this garbage.

This was my third game, and quite frankly it was terrible. Poor colissions, and a hilarious travelling flamethrower bug, made this game awful…

Good god you can't play these games, or else you would be mortified!

After these failures, I went away from, taught myself how to sprite, and learnt some GM. Now it was time to try again:

ACTUALLY, before I do that, I have to show you one more topic..

My first attempt at a platformer. HERE: http://forums.gamemaker.nl/index.php?showtopic=124434&hl=

Nuff said… (you can play this one although I don't reccomend it..)

Now lets move onto something more recent:

This was probably the first thing I made that was remotely decent.

Not really bad, but it needed expansion for it to be good.

Thats pretty much the history of me, (apart from a few one level W.I.P and some graphics requests)

I hope I haven't bored you.

Please if you wish share with us your development 'achievements'.

Rhys's Topic

^The time I met RhysAndrews's, and he thought he wasn't a n00b, XD

Ogmato

Considering I made the entire AckAck engine… this is probably my only platform game

Matrix

I don't know what I was thinking when I made this… it's useless, completely crap, and deserves it's place on GMC

Cannon Amoo

I sorta had a hate thing against Ogmo… then I had to replace him with a cat because of copyright reasons or something.

So there's alot of history about some of my GMC stuff.. I have more but the links and that are probally all broken..

actually, Evilish, you could have made Cannon Amoo since it would be a parody game. Copyright cannot protect against parodies.

SARCASM IS AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND THE COMPUTER WILL NOW ASPLODE!!

ERROR! ERROR!

WINDOWS IS SHUTTING DOWN…

'And that children, is why computers can't do sarcasm..'

(no linux systems were harmed during the making of this production, however the windows computer was not so lucky…)

Brings back terrible memories of the time(s) when I was a n00b.

RetroVortex 17 years, 11 months ago

Yeah, but it wasn't so bad being a n00b..

at least you had less homework, and were too stupid to know about or care about the problems with the world…
