Are things slower around here?

@Kat I wouldn't say Iocus hasn't made an impact just because he doesn't post as much. He has less posts, but they are often superb critique or great art in the spriting section. Iocus is a nice guy, and one of the newest users to continue spriting after the first two weeks. And really, I hope we get more members who sprite, because I personally feel that the artists/programmers are the ones making the biggest impact.

It's funny because I kind of feel the exact opposite - and I was going to post about that in the Fighter's Resource thread before realizing it was actually a much bigger issue.

We have a lot of content creators (GORS!!!!!!) who are very ambitious content creators, and compose music and create lots of art.

Honestly, it feels as if more of us are art-inclined and excited about art assets more than the average person, and hang out around art-inclined communities (like DeviantArt and, to an extent, Tumblr) ...and that's also our Achilles' heel as a community passionate about game creation. :/

It feels almost ironic, too given that I'd think aspiring game programmers would come here to acquire resources (like, pretty much golbez22 with A Really Retro Game)

Why does it seem though that when we have a programmer come and ask for things, we suggest they make their own assets, whereas we make our own assets and have no programmers ):








i kinda wonder if this is literally how zun felt when he rolled out of bed and made touhou.
and now look at touhou. why the hell do people love touhou.
