Can someone please restore Falacy's forum self-posts where he released his game sources for free usage?

How do I make a huge skin?

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:13:28 +0000

I can't even make my skin for a 1024x768 resolution. My height stops at 661 and won't continue.

Edit: Please don't tell me to make my skin 800 by 600 considering that it also is a 4:3 perspective, BYOND's icon map stretching fails to produce.

Utilities aren't games

So why are they bunched in as such?

BYOND: How far can you push it?

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:56:23 +0000

How am I supposed to know what BYOND can and can't handle? Man, I really wish at times like these that I had a fast-paced action MORPG to reference made by Tom and Lummox JR to really see the limits of this engine.

Do you have any advice on procedures to avoid and such? On how to conserve memory any way possible? If so - please post away!

(This post is hidden from the front page: language) ?... Really?

I'm not enjoying this (CSS)

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:45:27 +0000

I feel empty without a customize-able CSS page. I miss being able to advertise what I enjoy, and I used to actually have a use for knowing how to program in it. I feel as though one of my favorite membership perks has been stripped from me.

Why are there no good games to play?

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:03:00 +0000

Is this a lazy community, or a confused one? I can't seem to find more than a few games that interest me. I started playing BYOND about 5 years back. I was really into the anime scene, but that died out quick as many of the game's creators have seemed to lose interest or slow on the development scene.

Do you guys all have games in development or something? I just don't understand. There have recently been a lot of people looking for something new to play that actually has a player base. I mean - Teka123's new creation looks promising - and he's still learning; yet he's DOING SOMETHING! I don't see a lot of any good games being created around here.

What will it take for more people to begin on the quest to develop exciting, entertaining BYOND games?

Maybe it's that we don't hook people up with what they need. They need something more tangible to learn from, or better demos and libraries that are pointed out to them.

Or maybe we need to attract more game developers from other websites - to show them why BYOND is the tool that they can use to be successful.

Will BYOND ever re-write and market the Dream Maker book?

What do you think? Is there any chance that some day there will be another BYOND book?

My last blog post

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:37:05 +0000

Things are looking bright for 2012.

I'm finishing highschool, got accepted to all 5 schools that I applied to, and overall am excited to move on in my life.

I'll be getting a paypal this year since I'll be turning 18. So, when that time comes, I hope to have a release of the game I'm designing out. Ideas are all fleshed out and such, I'm now working on character, map, and interface design.

See you on the new site!

How much, Tom or Lummox JR, would you charge per hour

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:58:28 +0000

If you were to agree on looking through a BYOND game's source code, how much do you think you could agree upon as a general hourly rate?

Why don't we have some sort of computer plugs?

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:15:19 +0000

Why can't two computers just be linked up, with some sort of virtual server set up between the two, to play multiplayer games?
