Forum Updates Happening

Yer gonna have to remember her full name:  Remilia Vituperatoni Esoterica.  Sarcasm is practically her middle name.

This is the most heinous thing you have ever said to me.

Although not inaccurate.

Even the word 'sarcasm' wouldn't do. I had to find a more descriptive and entertaining word like vituperation to play with for someone like you.

Right, pumpkin?

No Gourd will be able to save you from me.

Gourd Guards On Duty, SIR!

Geez, I can get long winded... 

Real!

Speaks she who post 1000 word essays by way of multiple, consecutive posts.



I stated that I would work upon the Completed Games board from the RPG Maker Central forum, and today I began the feat. Yes, there were a number of games that were lost, but much more that were saved, salvaged or rediscovered.

Working backwards as I do, I tackled the eldest posted or eldest updated game topics first. And of the batch that I worked upon today, I was able to archive twenty surviving games out of thirty.

Of the games lost, a number used dl.Dropbox which has now vanished. Some others vanished with the creator's own website. And a couple were deleted by intent. 

However, the games that have been archived and/or saved from vanishing are interesting, diverse and at times quite wacky.  A few of the games are actively available on Steam, one that even received a review over the creator's series as a whole. One game earned enough fan recognition that there are... actually dance videos based on it? * That is not a joke. *  And then there are fan games such as one for Shin Megami Tensei and one that... was a literal hodge-podge between Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Hercules and Xena, Dracula and the Evil Dead.

Imagination indeed flourished, and I am roughly one-third through the completed games content of RPG Maker Central.

If there's any chance of finding anything further back under RPGMakerVXAce.com, I have no idea. 

Meanwhile, I am glad to say that fewer than a dozen of our forum's native scripts need to be separated between their engine types, those that are RPGMaker XP and others.
