Great Scott! CJ, you have to think 4th dimensionally!

Are you suggesting the Collective Matt's hold a meet-up event... that could be called MATTENS!!!

I wish I were a Matt.

Happy 2009. It's 4 hrs since the time occurred, had an absolutly crazy mindblowing night myself.

Greetings from the future my european and american friends.

I am also against a crossover title. I accidently quoted his whole post, not just the committee bit I originally intended to quote.

I have not played a Maniac Mansion Mania title, and I honestly do not plan to.

I like the idea of Reality on the Norm. It is an original, character rich universe, and the stories can be comedic, they can be serious, they can be whatever you want them to be. Maniac Mansion is/was a commercial game, and making sequels equates to fan-gamage, something I have no desire to be a part of.

I'd like to see a RON committee formed, to set the rules for the reboot, create new character profiles, give some characters a bit more of a backstory. I know it's an open project, but simple things make it alot better for everyone. And before any RON game is released, the committee should be part of the beta test, and it should be 'approved'. If some details are incorrect, they would be noted by the committee. If a character acts 'out of character', it should be noted by the testing committee and fixed, or explained in the game why this character did this through dialog or something. It's late and I'm rambling, but I've though quite a bit about this in the last few days.created RON.

Hm, after seeing what happened to Au Naturel where there was a resistance to add it to the site originally I think we have to be careful with committees. If it gets established it should only judge if a game is canon and without bugs.

I'd like to be on that committee personally. The committee idea is not about censorship, it's more about continuity and making sure details are correct. If the story is great and has a sex scene or full-frontal nudity, you place a warning on it's game page. Simple as that.

The Final Blow.

In my past life I was a children's entertainer by day, and a private investigator by night. Now I'm just a supervillain with the rather useless ability to transform into an invisible urinal made out of cardboard. My Arch-Nemesis is Yahtzee, a bespectacled gentleman with a neat hat who think's he is famous for making some silly videos and apparantly created something called Reality on the Norm. All lies if you ask me. He get's his manservant to make those videos and gravity, that invisible force of nature, created Reality on the Norm.

Just ask Eric, He's 20 foot tall and has the ability to travel through time.

You are not really a woman, you are a 47 year old man. Just like Meowster is a 53 year old detective posing as a 15 year old, and Ivy is really an old Leprechaun named Seamus O'Flannigan. There really is no other explaination for that uncanny ability to seek out four-leaf clovers.

Well I first registered on the AGS ezboards March 2000, right around my birthday. I had been perusing the forums for a month before deciding to join. I intended on making a grand game starring a character of mine called the Fatman, I made about 2 or so rooms and a walkcycle and all that. I decided to use dpaint for the art. But anyway, somehow I made Dickboy instead and released that. Hmmf, great legacy.

The AGS homepage was relativly non-existant, just a page of CJ's dosuser website, the forums were ezboard, great at the time. I even remember some people donating money to get rid of the ads.

I sometimes look through my posts and it scares me quite a lot. I am definatly a different person now.

Ambition got the better of me so many times. So many planned games, so little finished I'm sad to say.

I hope I've changed. My art has gone through this weird progression thingy where I was ok at pixelart, didn't draw or do any pixels for about 2 years, so I was a bit sucky, and I'm at a stage where I'm content, but I want to improve a lot. I just don't draw as much as I would like to. My background art is probably the area most improved.

But I agree with you Eric, that the more documented our lives become, the more we can remember. All these triggers for our memory. I remember far more about the past 8 years than I do the preceding 18 years of my life, and I think that is thanks to the internets.

Or we could have it in Poland and call it Funschwitz.

You gunna share that profit, or are we gunna have to make you?

no, but i knew that my internet was dud but i wanted to know how dud.

It's bad form to argue with the boss. You don't want to be... sleeping with da fishes do ya?

Wait... I'm in China!? No wonder I don't understand what anyone is saying...

Hahaha.

Marzy, nice selective quoting. I like that.

I hope you can keep your Santa Claus Down.

Seriously why are people still posting in this thread. YUFSTER NO LONGER LOVE'S MARK LOVEGROVE!!!

Wow, it's like a trainwreak. This is brilliant.

I'm with Mark on this one, even though I wasn't there. All these things he did for you yuf or meow or whatever you call yerself, and you friggin forgot about it! You forgot the brilliance that is the 'I love Mark Lovegrove' thread. You'll never get into the Love Grove now. Whatever that means.

Four hand-drawn graphics,
Three custom musics,
Two fanmade sequels,
And a poster in a blue cup-pee!

Most of that is true for you. I'll just edit one line

'And a penis in a blue cup-pee!'

Yeah, but only German's make games for MMM. That's not competition in my eyes.

Merry Christmas CJ, and Merry Christmas AGS peoples.

Perhaps what is needed is a RON reboot.

Isn't that essentially what Maniac Mansion Mania does? That, too, is basically a set of characters and locations with a semi-ongoing plot that everybody can use and add to...

How is MMM a reboot Radiant? Its just a continuation of the Maniac Mansion games created by Germans. This is about Reality on the Norm.

I agree with Progz about the way to deal with problematic characters. And I know all about the Grundislav Chef game.
