Hello, my name is Ando. I just discovered OHRRPGCE and I think that it's really neat and as such I'm joining the community and going to try my hand at it and such.

I'm a sort-of experienced ZZTer and I am pretty well aquainted with it's community. ZZT, as some of you may know, is a MS-DOS program that allows you to make games based on ASCII graphics and it's pretty simple and fun. It's a shame that hardly anyone seriously uses it anymore

So yeah, I'm just introducing myself. I may make games for OHRRPGCE, and I may not; I may stick around for the community, and again I may not. Yeah.

Welcome to CP. We're pretty inactive right now, but we're glad to welcome any new members. Can we see any of your old work?

Eh, it's all fine. The ZZT community is pretty much like the SA forums, so I'm used to any crudeness and what have you.

I think the only problem the community has is how much its slowed down since the olden days.

Hey, screw you guys too. I remember ZZT, but I don't think I ever got around to play it. There were always ads for it though, and it sounded pretty neat. I'd suggest releasing your first game, and saying whatever the hell you want to say. If you really mean it, you'll have something to say if anyone challenges it.

Now, if you want to know the REAL problem with the community, and why there's such a lack of activity, it's because everyone's either too afraid to say anything for fear of being made fun of, or is making fun of everyone else on their own secret forums, instead of talking about and dealing with each other's problems on the main forum, like we used to do on Zant. Sure, there were fights and flaming, but I think both sides enjoyed it, and it made you closer with your friends, and the rivalries occasionally even sparked productivity.

Don't think I'm gettin' preachy or anything, I do it myself. At one point or another, I've probably made fun of anyone and everyone in MSN, or #JSH, and it can be a fine way to vent off pressure. But that's all it does, vent the pressure. It doesn't do anything to stop more pressure from accumulating.

Sorry, now I am preaching. G'night, ladies! And welcome to this crazy post-apocalypse of a community. Don't forget your complimentary crotchless chaps!

So... now that we've shot any chance of this guy sticking around for the community.

1. DO release your first game, since after everyone tears it apart, you will have learned way more than you would otherwise. BB will probably even admit to this if he thinks about it enough.

2. Ysoft is hardly the most ignorable person around here. In fact, you'll probably do well if you start by assuming everyone here is a complete moron. I'm only telling you this because you seem reasonably competent yourself.

3. Like ZZT, the OHRRPGCE does not use the latest and greatest graphics. It is the best RPG maker available despite (or, more likely, because of) this. Don't let the community deceive you. People still make good games with this engine.

Welcome to CP!

Just have fun doing whatever it is you want to do (within reason that is ), and the majority of us would like to see what kind of work you do.

Note to Battleblaze: Almost everyone here has their first game on the gamelist and no one really cares if it gets bashed or not. The idea of game making is to keep at it to improve where you lack, because we all lack to start.
