Welcome! What kinda games are you planning on making?

Why, generic DBZ/Naruto rips, of course!

BYOND-jokes aside, I have quite a few ideas rolling in this brain of mine. I like to experiment with just about every type of game genre, but I seem to always keep coming back to the turn-based RPG; it is one of my first loves in video games since my days as a wee lad. A close second would be a sprawling hack-and-slash adventure type ala Secret of Mana!

You can only fully master one profession sir

BYOND =/= Mastering Programming

Leonardo da Vinci laughs at your claim.

Euler and Gauss laugh at the related claim that you can only master a subfield of a profession.

not really, no. every skill is able to be learned

learning how to program doesn't take away your chance of learning how to draw
learning how to compose music doesn't take away your chance of learning how to program

it's all asinine

Except that each of those is an allocation of time, and the time available to spend is finite. In principle it's not impossible, but in practice there's a reason the phrase goes "jack of all trades, master of none".

Honestly love it!

There is definitely some truth to be said about this. At this moment I'm looking to learn as much as I can and see how far that gets me.

Truth is, the days where you can lay around and do nothing are over so Leonardo whatever needs to shut up. Every day these days is literally a Pikmin 3 stage, sun goes up you got a certain amount of time to do things sun goes down, unless you're rich. Unless you plan to be homeless a little to get stuff done.

These guys wouldn't know. At the bottom of your heart you know who's the best designer in here.

Which is why poorer kids go for being an athlete or needy things, like becoming a doctor, people NEED doctors, people's taste in art will always be an opinion. NEEDS will always generate more money.

Richer kiddies usually go for the arts or that creative route because they have the money and time to master more than one profession, and usually are stuck spoiled in the house confirming their right brain thinking identity making them artsy and snobby.

While the lefter's are so used to being in crowds and around people, so they'll most likely choose a standard but high income route.

Anyway, I'm all over the place, you can only master one profession for these reasons tl;dr

1.There's too much to do these days Leonardo wouldnt have been known if he was born in the 1980's+.

2.Einstein wouldn't have been known if computers were around.

3.artsy thinkers are attracted to entertainment, it's an autism technically, but we probably didn't have a name for it back then so everyone ignores how Einstein didn't like socks or never combed his hair or had a large taste of music*which proves you can relate to many making you obviously intelligent*.

Einsteins parents THOUGHT he was dumb until they gave him a compas, something he was interested in changed everything.

Most right brain thinkers are black sheeped by left brain thinkers and usually they do something emotional like cry or shoot up a school or something, because they feel the world is against them. Or a movie theater.

There's too many distractions these days and on TOP OF ALL THAT, you have to work to survive, and most people gets this in their head too late so they'll never be prepared earlier while living for free with their parents.

If you're in Merica, once you turn age 5 you're a slave being trained just about, and it doesn't hit you until too late that you can be whatever you want, it just takes time skill and practice, but usually when people realize this, they have rent and working that 9 to 5, making the one profession rule solid.

Teamwork is essential at the bottom, teamwork is how those transcend into better things, however everyone has addictions to feed themselves these days, so teamwork is devalued and everyone stays poor, simple as that.

Master a profession, find a team, be successful.

I claim to be a designer, I have a little skill in all other professions but I know compared to most I'm trash but thanks to my designing skills and thinking outside the box I can figure things out in a different way, though it may be sloppy.

Which is why you may think I'm a little too confident like everyone else but if I'm a designer/director and had low confidence who'd wanna watch my movies or play my games or even work with me. When the whole point in the artsy route is to amuse others, and make them feel however you want them to through the arts and designs of your craft.


All of this applies to byonders as-well. I CANT FINISH A GAME gee it's pretty hard to do anything when you can literally find anything you want on the internet to entertain yourself with since it's right there. People wonder why they get so much done when there internet is out, the answers are in peoples faces and they cant see it because they're so used to living life how they do they don't even think about it. We could all be Einsteins, but he had a perk we don't not having all the entertainment food and phones and all the other things to throw us off track and to spend our money.

So the next step in natural selection, in evolution, the people that will be chosen are the ones able to fight these wants, and they're rewarded with every other hard worker is rewarded with, a spot in the 1% population 1st world and lots of money.

another flaw of reich thinkers right*(see what I did there?) is our uncleanliness back to Einsteins hair, paper work, and my pcs desktop.

So excuse me if I seem extremely intelligent but sloppy.

There are 2 pages to this thread? Haha, I only see 5 (myself included) replies. Guess that block button really comes in handy.
