Well, I said it before:

Fanmade hacks are one of the few times notoriety should come into play into TCRF, I think. It's a tough point that could go either way, because some might genuinely be interested in what else super-popular hack A was planning but got put on the chopping block due to trouble/time/etc.

Outright banning fangames and hacks is not the best solution, but where do you set the barrier for entry? There already are a few fangames sitting on the wiki, so the can of worms is already open. Some consistent policy really needs to be put into place...

You're either referring to Terminal Velocity or Fury³, depending on if the game was running in MS-DOS mode or not. I think Fury³ is more likely since I think it shipped with some copies of Win95, but I'm not 100 percent certain.

I wanted to speedrun the latter of the two for the longest time, but I never got much further than planning a little bit of the route. Oh well, maybe I'll try again one of these days. Either way, both games are easily old favorites of mine

What's the point of having a separator option when people get so used to not having separators that they act like nobody else uses them?

I want to hurt all of you talking shit about Sonic 4. Can I do that?

There's this nice, wonderful game called "Sonic Generations" that doesn't even try to do proper physics but still manages to be treated like a gift from god.



... But I digress.



Mario physics are more complex than it seems, especially if you try to do things like NSMBW or beyond. The level architecture in Sonic games is mostly static and it's easy to pre-compute the proper angles beforehand, but... NSMBW especially has a whole bunch of levels where the entire level consists of jumping around on rotating, moving blocks, with the engine having to handle what it should do if the player lands (or even worse, stomps) on the huge rotating block.

The GPL is a godawful viral license that seriously needs to die. It is a "Freedom" license in name only.

GPL becomes extremely problematic and annoying when modding games comes into play; you know, when the assets are completely irrelevant.

I have tried to play nice, by the GPL's rules, releasing the source code to my game mod when I wanted to privately test among a few people. What happened? Inevitably, before I was ready to release my own stuff to the public, some asshat would take all of my hard work, stick it in their own project and claim it was theirs.

The types of responses I get to pointing out the blatant theft? "Deal with it".

Fuck the GPL.
