Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

1. Try not to create hundreds of threads on the return of the games. There could be one big thread for a discussion of all of these.
2. Spend time making your games instead of ranting about them.
3. Drink a smoothie, put a DVD on, and chill.
4. ??Profit??

BEST METHOD FOREVER


Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

Re: Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

5. Realize that making projects based on simple principles will not change the preferences of scratch users
6. Realize that whoever thought this could work is incredibly naive
7. Watch news for revolutionist children who make a new society based on a method that follows 3 simple steps, and who don't understand why its not a good idea

Re: Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

Since the "archmage" method isn't meant to change the community I was not being hypocritical in the above post.

It looked like you wanted to change the community into flash developers, so yeah.

Re: Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

Well then you were mistaken. I remember saying that I just thought it was a good way for interested individuals to get good at making games. Also I specifically said that it was not meant to change the community.

Re: Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

I can remember reading in Archmage's thread that he knew full well most people wouldn't have the dedication to follow it and that he didn't expect to make an impact on the community as a whole with it.

Re: Return Of Sanity - The Best Method

1. My method was about how you should use real languages to get good at coding.
2. Its not a group that you can join but instead, a self improvement method. Also, I don't make scratch groups because of the 90%+ failure rate.
