With my stimulus money many months ago I bought a gaming PC. This was my first gaming related purchase since 2013. (GTAV for 360, my last console) Over the first part of the pandemic I spent a lot of time indoors with my gamer roommates and played some games I had missed but what really inspired me to get a PC was the idea of modding and potentially developing games. When the hobby was new I got really into it, aided by ADHD hyperfocus and some amphetamines from a friend, but inevitably burned out.

My main two projects were a 16bit 2D sidescroller starring my cat that I was making in Stencyl (discovered after falling in love with an indie game made in it [Skateride]) and Making modded maps for SkaterXL (I got pretty good at modeling but I'm still vexed about textures and working with them between blender and unity projects)

AAAAANNNNYYYYway all of that to say who else here does game stuff? I want to get back into it and perhaps collaborate on some games with a commie lens, if anyone needs pixel art/animation or blender models?

    I'm using an outdated pirated program to make something.

    So you know.

        I mean, the pirated version of RM2k3 was the only version that was available outside of Japan for a decade so you know.

            I don't know who were the ones who translated RM2k3

            I know a Russian guy(?) named Don Miguel translated RM2k, which also came with its own sample game Don's Adevnture lmao. Also the Name Hero function in that version was fucking broken and didn't work.
