Looking back through the years I've been a member of 64Digits I remember all of the good times the community had when there were ∞ times more users. Things such as LOLOMGWTFBBQ and the strong hatred for the Game Maker Community, as well as resentment against the GMG. I can't remember which but back in 2007 I believe Stevenup7002 hacked one of the two. Yeah, I remember! He was actually on MSN talking to me about it and I remember LMAO (tired and lazy right now…). Oh and then he got banned sadly but still… it was worth the lolz.
This was around the time when everyone still used GM5 and I remember everyone's reaction when GM6 came out: Pissed. DirectX 9 was a requirement and for a lot of people whose system could not run DX9 this was… yeah. Then GM7 came about and all hell broke loose. You couldn't simply use a serial anymore, no… SOFTWRAP! Plus, Yo-Yo Games bought Game Maker so there was no more Mark Overmars at Utrecht University – just a bunch of hung-over f… nevermind.Let me see. Anyone remember the ENIGMA development environment? This was the attempt at making GML cross-platform via Java. Hey, Mark Overmars wasn't too happy about it but who cared? SOMEONE had to do it. I don't remember how far the project got but I assume it's dead now.OH this is an oldie: The 64D RPG system! "Battling" against other users, collecting gold, having silly weapons and such. Then it died. Well it gave me something to do at the time at least! Well, at least until, well let's not bring this up. It… involves two members of 64D that I happen to know had a thing (haha, kill me later, you know who you are).Speaking of deprecation, this reminds me of the time Stevenup7002 and I met back in 2005 and started the Sendla OS project. The Motron Sendla Operating System was to be completely from scartch: No Linux code, custom bootloader, etc. Never got past detecting the floppy drive. Stupid floppy dicks. I mean… disks. Well, we at least had a blue screen with text and basic function. It looked like something out of Hackers where he's turning over banks at the beginning of the movie – except way, way, way less complex. Try this:
I actually remember most of these things. Oh the memories.
I think Enigma is dead now too. Which is a shame to me. It had lots of potential.I also remember those little flash movies made by…. Melee Master I think?Those were actually pretty good. I don't think that was finished either? D:i remember a few, god 64d was awesome "back in the day"
I think 64D is still cool.
But what we really need is more games created. After all isn't that the purpose of this site?It's more of a blogging site now. I think I can even tell you all the users that are making games now off the top of my head.MeKilin THERE. HAPPEH NAO.Polystyrene ManGlenDSGEva UnitCesqueAnd…. Mush? I tinks?Tell me if I'm missing someone.I think before that 64D had more than double the people making games. I would like to see the old 64D come back again. :/…Hackers opens with him hacking a TV station. After being in court. No turning over banks (well Joey hacks an ATM but you don't see it on-screen, it's just mentioned in passing).
Also, ENIGMA is alive and well, and also working on a whole lot of platforms.@Kilin
I've added you, you filtheh whore.I don't think I've ever seen your game, so I forgot.EDIT: Also, I found a weird glitch in my post. D:One day I'll make and finish a game, but right now I'm too busy not programming my A-Level Computing project.
It's funny to me how fondly everyone remembers the RPG. Maybe I just never got into it, but there really wasn't much to it. I don't even remember much of an outcry when it was removed.
Also, I'm working on a game…i cant do large projects because i lose interest and dont have time, i cant do small projects because they always evolve into large ones
Man I remember all of that stuff going down lol. Good times. Even if 64D is kind of mellowed out now.
