Re: Facts that inspire your story

You are right in your way, as I am right in my way... You just stated that you are using your own definition of good and evil. So you are actually agreeing with me, that people use their own definition of evil. On the other hand I must agree with you that there are people and things noone in his rig...

Re: Questions about sprites and other things!

1) How would you separate handdrawn sprites so they can be on a transparent bg and be saved as a .png? The way I do it, is that I use the magic wand tool to "cut" out all the white. Then edit in places with the eraser if necessary. I've heard that there is a nifty way to isolate the lineart in Phot...

Re: Facts that inspire your story

There is good and evil, just nothing is purely good or purely evil. Here we have a disagreement. Good and evil are not existing things, but terms humans have to define. Everyone defines it for him/herself. Therefore you can't generally state that something is evil. It is evil for YOU. The examples ...

Re: Facts that inspire your story

Of course it matters what you have been going through, but you should go through more stuff as you grow older. With age comes experience (or should come).
Honestly understanding that there are no things as good and evil is something that not everyone can get.

Re: Facts that inspire your story

Wouldn't it make more sense to teach kids early on that the world is not that simple? I mean, you probably shouldn't launch into a tirade about moral relativism when a kid asks you if killing someone is bad, but understanding why someone does something does not necessarily mean that what they are d...

Re: Main menu generator (ver 1.11-Completed!)

I used it. Very handy and with some thinking you can even get some quite unique effects.
You are a great help, for people like me who are just beginning to learn about python :lol:

Re: Facts that inspire your story

I don't want argue about that for now. Besides, your argument has its right too, for a product directed for more adult consumer. But still, if it's a product for children, sometimes pure evil character are needed. Perhaps it's like when your 5 years old kids asking you "Is stealing bad? Is killing ...

Re: Facts that inspire your story

I actually don't see any of my characters as the bad guys. I just think of them as the guys that the main character wants to stop... I just hate the "evil evil" type, because there is no such thing as being evil. The antagonists will think that they are doing the right thing. For them our heroes are...

Re: Guestbook

Mugen, I wanted to ask this for a long time: if you are the official villain of this board AND Samu-kun's arch nemesis, does that mean Samu-kun is the official paragon of the forum? :-\ Interesting thought actually. But I guess Mugen is just the villain and we don't actually have a paragon. So all ...

Should be the same...
But it seems not to be... I can change the position of the text, but the name stays in place.
