merlin, sar, timeagent, kagero, and empire.

merlin was an utter embarasment,
sar was sad
timeagent was getting there
kagero was sad too
empire was the first time I didnt rip code, but it was never released =p

I was Rage's accomplice on all the listed games. I must say the VERGE community has an astounding ability to document and archive crap. I deleted those games for a reason, fuckers.

I made a custom movement system for V2, that had party following, and no one used, not even me.

I also made a rather unknown map layer/entity rotation scaling library, for V2, that nobody used, not even me.

EDIT: To be honest, if I remember correctly, while I was proud of the code, the libraries were not what I would call "intuitive/user friendly" and they definitely weren't well commented.

Oooh. My programming experience is depressing. I thought I was pretty hot stuff when I made that movement system though. Got a nice comment from RPGKing on the Vergesource archives, if I remember.

That was on the Vergesource? Wasn't it here on verge-rpg? :D

Back on topic, as far as my old games go, I was working on a game called Dark Legacy with Animeman. It went along nicely with original graphics, music, etc. and I even had an FF6-style ATB system made for it. But then, college got really intense and I stopped working on it. Then Animeman started college himself, and didn't really have time for anything. And then eventually, I lost everything from a hard disk failure, and back then I was too much of a moron not to make backups ;_:

Interesingly, a demo of this that I'm not able to run somehow popped up on verge-rpg.com recently during it's revival :O But it seems to be a much older demo, around the time I was experimenting with a Chrono Trigger-type system that never came to be. I laughed when I saw how newbish the code looked!

EDIT: I got it to run in WinV2 :O

What actually happened to Sully 2?

You made something that even you had no use for? Omni, did the voices tell you to do it...?

Well, uh, it kinda went like this...in fact this bit right here sums up my entire circa-Verge programming experience.

Timeline/Thought Flow Chart
* = Actions
-----------
Verge! Awesome! I figured out how to program!
*Makes movement system
Yeah! I'm on my way to an RPG.
Crap! I can't draw or do music!
*Makes entity scaling system
This is awesome! I have to share it with the world!
*No one cares
Well, that's okay. Time to work on my game!
*Writes 50 lines of platformer code
Hey! Ika uses classes!
*Waddles between Verge and Ika
Neither of them compile under Linux! I must have Linux, even though I don't really need it and I'm not sure why I do!
*Sees Pygame!
Ooh! Pygame works under Linux!
*Waddles between Verge, Ika, and Pygame
I can't decide!
*Tries to port ika functions to Pygame
Crap! I need my own Map system!
*Waddles between Verge, Ika, and Pygame
I've got it! I'll make my own map system!
*One school year and lots of waddling later...
I did it! It only took one year!...(To be honest, working on it in splurges, and then ignoring it for weeks in order to do more Waddling between Verge and Ika, it did take about a year)
*Custom Pygame Map System: Evolution complete
(current time: present)
Ooh! V3's out!
*Waddles between Ika, Verge, and Pygame
*Learns about Sega Saturn development
Whoa! The Saturn is awesome! I should program for it!
*Wastes two weeks learning about the Saturn
Saturn development is crap!
*More waddling between Ika, Verge, and Pygame
*Reads McGrue's lines: "Programmers consider Verge their hobby!"
Yeah! That's right! It's not a job, it's a hobby! (Keep in mind: I have no interest in a full time programming career...I want to be able to program as a hobby and yet have something else to do.)

*Less Waddling between Ika, Verge, and Pygame
Well..if it's just a hobby, why wear myself out making custom map systems for code platforms I can't use when Verge3 already provides a lot of the tools I need?
*Sorta, kinda, decides to settle with Verge3
Wow...it's been 4 years and all the good code I've made has gone completely to waste...

-------------
End circa-Verge experiences.

I originally made the movement system because: 1. The first Winv2 releases had...lackluster entity systems, plus I wanted party following (which I sucessfully integrated into my system...even though I never used it).







I feel sad :(

Don't feel bad Omni! You sucked anyway! I'm sure of it!

uh...I feel better now? :)

Stop quoting me out of context ;_; Alright, that was perfectly in context, I admit, but... er... Well... You miss my point. As long as your old stuff got you to where you are today, that's what matters. No one remembers my old stuff, and I'm thankful, becuase it was terrible. But it was a necessary step to get to where I am now. Its all about the destination, not the journey! I think....

Aw...I feel a group hug coming on!

Gaaaaaay!

...er, unless you are gay. In which case:

Straaaaaight!

Either way, consider your sexuality questioned in a derogatory way.

PS: I also will insult your mother at this juncture. If no mother, then I insult father. If no father, then I insult your legal guardian. EAT THAT!

EDIT: I'm not gay. Geez again.

Or are you? After all, I did question your sexuality brutally and with stunning precision!
