Introduce Yourself!

[Inyssius]

Aha! Well, that explains everything.

[Aeolius]

The previous Dungeons and Dragons Aquaria Topic by Tullehar, was mine.

...and I added a reply to that thread  

wait a minute, there's a D&D thread around here somewhere?

... it was the first thing I looked for, before signing up, over here.  

I've been running undersea D&D games for awhile, now, starting with a play-by-post game and currently enjoying a chat-based game. Aquaria is simply an extension of my fascination with the sea. I also keep saltwater aquariums.

What I'd really like to see would be Aquaria for the iPad.

Hi.
Is it only seems so or this forum is really as dead as Mithalas? ._.

Hi.

There is a lot of lurking in this forum = a lot of regulars are waiting for newbies to give some input or ask for help.
The problem is that this forum revolves around Aquaria - a superb game, but we all played it for a dozen times, talked about every recipe, treasure, boss and without new input from the developers (Aquaria 2? ) or modders (it's open source now and has a great editor, so where are all the modders?), we don't have much to talk about. Sadly.  So it's silently waiting...

[Lady-Succubus]

That, and half of our posts here are spam. :/

[Inyssius]

Ah! That's how you can tell the forum isn't dead!

The spam goes away.

If this forum really was dead, spammers would be nesting in long-abandoned threads like giant eels in Mithalan apartments. We'd have a regular coral reef of the stuff built over every topic; more dangerous bastardry lurking in the background like starfish, only to leap out when you come close and spit bolts of crude browser-hijacking HTML at you...

(it's open source now and has a great editor, so where are all the modders?)

Their laptop power cord died!

I promise, the Modding subforum will be four hundred percent less dead when I have a working computer again...

[Chew-gun]

...or modders (it's open source now and has a great editor, so where are all the modders?)

Well, I have an idea for a mod, but ignorance of C+ language (i cannot even compile ready game files from mercurial >.<) and OGL (game uses it, right?), lack of artistic skills (well, it's actually not so, as I can draw, but drawing people and such is a taboo for me - if I ever start drawing something at least close to human or other living being it's soon makes me incredibly shy and I either throw it to the garbage bin or rip to pieces before that >.<) and GLOBALITY of the idea really slows me down. I can't even begin to write my ideas on paper, because that thought "I'll never perform such a task" burdens me ._. Also one of the main reasons is music, because I do not want to use original soundtrack and can't create my own at least now, because I don't know software suitable for that (my friend uses FL studio to create backgrounds (or as it's called?) for his hip-hop songs, but there's no instruments\effects to write something like aquaria soundtrack), also I have no musical education, but, sometimes when I'm alone or walking that noisy street where nobody can hear it, I can mumble really nice song 
^{So almost all of my problems comes from lack of knowledge, not the skills...}

The game uses a visual editor and lua (for scripts).

I think lua should be easier to understand than C++.

I think lua should be easier to understand than C++.

But there should be major changes of interface (something instead of song-based form changing and more advanced equipment menu) and more importantly - in animation of the main character (diffirent number of limbs/moving parts). Also, about 1/3 of the mod should go above the water and main character must have form in which she can walk and run. So, can it be done with lua only?

These things can be done, yes. Some of them (the last two) are trickier than others, admittedly; but, on the bright side, I suspect some of them (the last two) are basically the same problem in different forms. Once you figure out how to monkey with the main character's abilities, her skeletal structure should be easy.

Good lord. I've been gone so long I missed both posts. so sorry Aeolius ^^'

[Percival]

Hello. I tend to prefer anonymity, so you can call me by my screen name, Percival. (Of course, you already knew what it was, didn't you?) I'm 16, live in a quaint little apartment with my parents (AMAZING view of the sunset off the back porch, by the way), and as far as fun facts go.. Hm. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an earlybird when it comes to gaming. I tend to play until the crack of dawn, and then crash for the rest of the day. I guess that's it, so... Hi.

P.S: I almost forgot. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't call me Percy. I really dislike that. Same goes for "P", Perci, Perc, Perciv, and the like. If you're going to call me anything at all, then call me Percival. Please and Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Percival. Can't say there's a lot of activity, but I still have the silent hope that more polite people like you come along and blow some life in here.
If you have anything you want to talk about, feel free to make a new topic. =D

Oh and btw, I think your 'fun fact' applies to at least half of the gamers out there. x3

[Aristobulus]

Or bump an old topic, I don't think what people are here would mind.
