Please lock this thread. I think my IQ is haemorrhaging.

Although I must say, I have infinite respect for Seppuku and his restraint. A better man than I...

Did you even read my post?
Seriously?
READ IT AGAIN.

You feel that some games are better if they play like reading a book. That's you market then, or is it that you feel that you are the only one? Or has the thread moved on from finding a market for games? You are all confusing me with that unreadable link.

Just when I thought the thread was getting back on topic.

Pincho: What i'm saying is that not all games would benefit from being randomly generated.

The design flaw is to always use gore as a selling strategy which is in the OP. So the designer of games should try to come up with new ideas. To get new ideas you need to mix elements of games together.. Pong becomes Breakout, and Space Invaders becomes Super Space Invaders. The random generation is to be performed by the creator using just his imagination... that chaos. Not random generation inside the game itself. Although random games are good.

The more random the game creator is, the more original the game becomes. But at the same time he must match a target audience.

What are you talking about?

You need to think of it as a spaghetti drainer, imagine you farted a potato and switched the light bulb off at the same time. That's just like a car going off to the moon. Like a tent with a black hole in it and 0=1-1.

I don't know why you participate in a thread called Friendship Is Magic and yet continuously bombard people with insults.

I think I'll just leave the site. That's it.

I think he was making a random plot.

You may have not realised it, but you have continuously insulted people's intelligence, including people who have made an effort to keep a civilized conversation. I don't think it's good to have flame warfare, but you are not innocent in this matter. You don't need to leave the forum, but I think maybe reassess how you approach these discussions, or just not approach them at all, because you'll notice this only happens when you open up for a debate. If you don't like it, then you don't have to participate, it takes 2 to tango and you tangoed.

I think otherwise you're respected, but I don't see why anybody has to leave.

You're going to receive criticism no matter where you go. Way to run.

Yeah unless you noticed: It's the name of the show, not the way people behave.
