Introduce Yourself!

[Sleepwalker]

Hey, Jake here.  I'm a college student just looking to relieve some boredom. That I loved Aquaria is a given, but what I would really like to see is some mods for it.  I recon that if I felt like putting in the effort, I actually might be able to make a half-decent mod, but I don't to be honest  . That being said I could help with the music for one, although you'll have to decide how good I am at making it.

Here's a song I just did for kicks in about 10 minutes: http://www.ijigg.com/songs/V24B0DGEPA0

If you want good mods look no further than here (Big Energy Form Battle by Hiro), here (DangerMouse's unfinished, but amazing mod), and here (the dark horse of the group, by TheBear). TheBear's mod is unique in that he aims towards an RPG - not my cup of tea, but possibly yours. I did not mention the Jukebox mod (a collection of the Aquaria sound track and a slick interface with which to listen) because it is packaged with the game and does not have any game play. Nevertheless, this mod is in my opinion the best way to listen to the Aquaria soundtrack yet.

Hope you enjoy Aquaria, and welcome to the forums. There are plenty of willing people to help. 

[Cryzbl]

Hi, name's Cryzbl, 19 years old, doing my second year of computer science studies. (sorry, my real name is unique in the whole world, though I only checked in my country...)
I learned about aquaria trough some blog talking about the best indie games for christmas 2008 and I picked 2 games (Aquaria and Gish). Since I'm not really a game fanatic these games are perfect for my tastes.
Currently I'm sort of a Valve fanboy and loving every game they make. Still have to get Left 4 Dead though, but Team Fortress 2 is already way more then enough to satisfy my needs for online gaming.

Also note the awesome avatar.

I live in the south east, near portsmouth. If it takes anyones fancy to attempt to stalk me based on this infomation I should make the following facts clear

1) Near means in the middle of nowhere. I say near because I live 7 miles from anywhere.
2) I already have a cheerful collection of stalkers who have a tendency to try and bump each other off. Be prepared for competition.

lol
Nope just curious I can't afford to get all the way down there even if I had the energy and will to stalk someone, I live up near Derby and 8 miles from any place also. If I tell you that I am 60 this year does that make you feel a bit more secure? lol

Hi Jake, Cryzbl, welcome to Bitblot the door is always open to crazy Aquaria gamers Even if they are Apple users  lol

[Titch]

I was in Derby for a while, about two months back when I was kicked out of home by builders. I have a good friend there who was letting me use his couch as a sleeping place.

My name is Jamie Kohler and I live in Ventura CA.  I am 51 years old and I am in love with this game.  Just started playing it and don't understand all that much yet.  Thanks!

[Dandalf]

Nah, I've a lover, not a fighter. In fact some chick walked up to me on the street and demanded I give her my telephone number. So I like Derby XD.

[MHD]

Hello. I am awesome. Or at least I think so myself.

I heard that to mod Aquaria, you need to know lua programming, and lua is like a second native language to me.

Also: This will blow your mind

[Xiagan]

Welcome MHD (which is the german abbreviation of "best before" ),

you know that you now have to program an awesome mod after this introduction, right?

The pic is quite impressive. You can also find it on bit blot's fan art section or in the fan art-thread in this forum. It blew my mind about a year ago.

[Chibi]

I doubt he knew about the fan art page before he found the pic  - welcome to the forums MHD! I guarantee that you'll enjoy your stay. 

[silverflagon]

Hi MHD, I will wait and see what comes

That painting is awsesome isn't it

[Particlese]

My name (for now) is Particlese, I'm from the States (VA, currently), and I love tons of stuff including Aquaria, juggling and diaboloing, photography, coding, and bassooning and contrabassooning.  (Also parenthesis and commas.)

Fun fact:  I'm a physicist, complete with a strange sense of humor, and I get to play with a giant (17 Tesla) magnet every day.  It's kind of like MRI, but more sciencey.  And it likes trying to steal my glasses.

I've been lurking here since Derek's interview on the 1UP Show, and now that I've finally gotten my feet wet with modding the game, I hopped on IRC and am now here.  Thanks for the entertaining greetings on IRC and the entertaining posts here!
