Hello People of Earth

[Monkeydog]

Hi, I'm Monkeydog and I like people, places, and things!

I kind of highly doubt any of you know me, so yay new friends, but I've been in the RPG Maker community for years and years (since I was like 11, I'm coming close to 22 now). But I haven't really been active for the past few years, and I've never really dabbled in XP/VX, mainly because I've had issues with them, but I like how Ace looks enough to buy it (obviously). I'm kind of a lazy butt, and back when I was active I was mainly a mapper and made games and kept them to myself, but I think I'm a decent programmer (Although I've never used Ruby). And yeah... I've mainly decided to buy it because I have wanted to really get back into the community and really make something for the past few years now, and I feel like this is the best opportunity to try.

I like older JRPGs and current WRPGs. I'm big on music and will basically listen to anything, but if I have to choose it's always The Decemberists, of Montreal, Radiohead, and The Beatles. I write in a local magazine, web code, and barista-ing (I doubt there is a verb for that) as a living. I like tv and books and animation and things too. I am male and live in California and enjoy pizza and I don't know what else to say really.

So yes, love me.

Hey Monkeydog, welcome What type of programming have you done before? Welcome back into the fold!

Hello Ichi, nice to meet you.

Java and C++ mainly. But some Lua/C#/Actionscript. Also PHP and Javascript if you want to include that.

Hello Ichi, nice to meet you.

Java and C++ mainly. But some Lua/C#/Actionscript. Also PHP and Javascript if you want to include that.

Likewise C++ seems very useful in the gaming world and Java. I am sure your programming experience will come in handy with customing your projects. I haven't done any real programming in years, but was more into VB and .net at the time. Any plans on making custom scripts if you get more familar with Ruby?

 

[Monkeydog]

Ohhh I used Visual Basic forever ago too. So I guess I know that, somewhere in my mind.

Possibly. I have always been pretty interested in Ruby, mainly for Ruby on Rails. But I don't feel like I'm super competent in programming, I have friends who are way better at it all than me. But who knows.

Hey Monkey welcome to the forums. And you gotta share the games champ! Some people love playing RM games.

Hi Monkeydog, it's nice to meet you I've been using ActionScript for the last couple of years, and starting to get into C# now. Anything else I've touched is either so old or obscure that nobody recognizes it, or it belongs in a museum (I actually spent about 10 years writing business apps in a language called RPG )
