Just to clarify. I didn't piss off the dev team, if that's what they've told you I'm not sure where it came from. They left for completely different reasons. I will say this though, I've been ATTACKED by Skyward on this forums on multiple occasions one after another, this being another one of those posts and to be honest if I was any bit abusive or what he makes me out to be wouldn't he have been banned a while ago? I could honestly give a fuck anymore.

Welcome back Grizzy, so glad that someone can turn to the community in that way.

**Hello Eclipsians,** It's been a while since I've felt this good about making a post, but I believe the time is here. After a long dry spell, broken promises, disagreements and things not going our way I've finally found "The team." yes, we are "The team." :'D For the first time in a long time, I truly think Eclipse now has a solid team with solid developers who have a passion for this shit and want to make the site better than what it ever was and I hope you support us all the way. It has been a real struggle trying to make things happen and hell we're not even there yet, but I see promise and I see light at the end of the tunnel of consistent fuckups. I can't say I've been the best at leading this site up until now and I still have many things to learn, but I'm learning…learning and constantly evolving into less of a jackass. Without dragging this out I'd like to introduce "The team." **Administration:** **:Link:** **Marsh** **Agoraphobic** **Gwen** **Engine Developers:** **:Matt:** **Jacquelinett** **SpiceyWolf** **Web Team:** **:C****hief:** **Lycrios** **Moderation:** **:Benjo:** **Colonello** **Vus** **Jumbofile** **Pandacoder** There's a lot of things coming in the very near future. Be prepared for hype. Regards, Link

You're absolutely right about people needing to see changes vs a paragraph of words. I also agree about the attitude in the people running the place, that's pretty much the reasoning for the paragraph though because we are changing the atmosphere of how the place is ran. Time will tell though.

That sounds like more of a personal problem.

Hey everyone, Eclipse is changing a lot behind the scenes, and one of those changes is how the community is going to be managed. I still own the eclipse domains, the website, etc., but I am stepping down as the “forum owner”, and joining the ranks of the other admins. When the “owner” title was introduced, the forums were starting to feel more corporate, and less like a community. We need to come together towards fixing this place, and I think the best way to do that would be to bring the life and fun back into the community. Eclipse was and should be a community for game developers again; not a company to try and squeeze the money out of the members’ pockets. When I bought eclipse from Amish, we changed a lot, but I don’t think we changed enough, unfortunately. This is the first of many steps to try and mend the wounds caused by poor “management”. When I first joined, 7 years ago, I loved coming here, hanging out with you guys, occasionally making games, and just joking around. There were definitely some members that tried to turn the place into a cesspool of negativity, but we thrived by continuing to just have fun and make games. We’re going to make eclipse the community that you knew and loved once again, without all of the corporate nonsense. There will still be business-y things in the background, but the main focus for the community will be to be a community—nothing more. Regards, Link

I agree with Chief.

There's an engine being worked on.

Is this still running?

I like a lot of songs from the FF7 soundtrack, I wouldn't say I had one specific facorite song, but my favorite songs are in FF7.

I never tried selling the engine, even if I had, the license was signed over to me. I think you're confusing me with Amish in which case he still had the right to sell the engine as the license was signed over to him. Personal opinions don't really matter or what people think they may know, only the people in which have had the site transferred to them or have tranferred the site know it. The rest is just member drawn conclusions. This would be a different case if just the site had been handed down and Amish had not gotten the license agreement from Robin. But I don't really know much about legal stuff and it doesn't matter because it's vb6 and personally no one gives a shit. Sincerely, DTK

Yes, yes you can. Guess every other owner beat me to the punch. There's nothing in the current license you can violate that includes selling a game made with the engine, in fact I encourage it, sucks that's it's vb6 right now. Now if you tried to re-sell the engine as your own, that might violate some things within the license for obvious reasons and it would disrespect the developers who put their hard work into it. Goodluck! ^_^ - Link

Hello all, I'm looking for a skilled artist who is willing to create a logo and web design based on my instructions. You should be able to draw the logo I describe and vector it if needed. You should be skilled in drawing as well. Pay can be discussed on skype, but the payment method is paypal. Add me on skype for more details : zarachi6

The mechanics aren't that different from a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon styled game. If you want real time battle that's efficient you need to have it set up where maps are randomly generated(when you battle someone) and players who engage are taken to those maps (sort of like a stage so to speak) you can see where you'd need a more efficient language if you wanted to handle a larger scale later on. I'd say that after the battle a player is either sent to the last pc they visited or the map they were on when the battle request was made. This though, is a pretty simple and nice little intro for the idea though. Don't think there's much capable with it using Eclipse. - Link

I have some work. Message me when you get the chance.

As I said on skype pretty much, power to ya! Goodluck on your journey.

Nice job Galatic, posting it early to the public and allowing outside help via GitHub was a great move. Keep up the good work! Go optimism!! - Link

All posts deleted and topic locked. Why do you guys care if he decided to take initiative to make something more organized? He said he had my permission to do this specific task, nothing more needed to be said. - Link

I really enjoy the kid Goku piece.

I don't know if it was already mentioned, but attack on titan. It's good and it's gory, too.

Structures and maybe a character view would be nice.

Thanks for all the donations, I used them to help pay towards the issue for the domain. I paid the other fees myself, thanks again to everyone who pitched in.

This made me consider getting back into vb6.

Message Sherwin, last time I checked he got pixel based movement working.
