Helladen Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I consider Eclipse more of a tool to get you into the field. It really is not suitable for anything extremely serious. I quit using it awhile back, but it was great for getting familiar with engine infrastructure. Although, it does a lot of things wrong/poor, so you should not base the core design of an engine on it ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Because it was Eclipse that got me into programming. I've been working on my game for 5 years and because I've been using Eclipse engines, I'm attached to Eclipse ![:)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentGamer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I came here about 5 years ago, I wasn't using computers too much. Only to go my Bebo, that long ago. Lenton introduce me to this forum and the engine. I really liked it, was simple to use a rewarding when you done things like put tiles down on your game. I would say this lasted about a year and a half, thinking I was going to be a big time developer. It feels childish now but it was so exciting for me to think what I can do with this engine.After that year and a half period of using I started to get bored of the whole concept, I felt like I was so limited because I couldn't get the programming software. This was also back in the day before I knew what torrents were. This made me look for other alternatives. Lenton showed me HTML, this looked interesting. I didn't have to download anything and I could make stuff on the web. This interested me far more then game development did. I've been doing it ever since and I am a freelance web developer so now I have made this hobby into my job.I'm still lurking in the community because I really like the people on here. You get a diverse group of people with different backgrounds with one thing in common, one time or another we had an interest in developing in this engine.

Xolani Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I like using Eclipse because it's fun to create something. It's always satisfying seeing a map with your own custom graphics finished, (although pixel art is still an art so map's are technically never finished finished.)I've had a few mates just hop on and try the game I'm working on and all of them really found the default controls very difficult to use. Both complained that using cntr; and wasd was difficult while managing the mouse at the same time. It would be cool to make the controls a little easier, like say spacebar for attack or e.But yeah even if not many people end up playing my game once I finish it, it will still have been completely worth it just because of all the fun there is creating something unique and learning skills along the way ![:)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajamaz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I've known eclipse for 5+ years, used it, and gave up after my first 2 months of useing it.A year ago i decided to try and use it again, and i am useing it to this day!I've recently fallen in love with the eclipse community, and and SOO HAPPY that the old mods and admins are gone, they were ***** pricks and assholes who thought they could just boss people around and ban the inexpirenced.I've been banned 2 times in my eclipse history, once for posting a link in the chat box…. (i guess i deserved that one) and i've been banned for A ducking month just because i necro posted 3 topics, WTF!The current comunity is great, espesially with Agoraphobic as a mod, hes so kind :3Im glad Robin doesnt come around, he was a prick (no offence robin but you were), he never posted kind things, and only insulted people and their projectes as though he was a god, just because he "made" eclipse....Other mods wouldn't give constructive critisim, they just supported trolls....Off the rant... all in all, i love the ability eclipse gives to people who dont know code or are in the process of learning and and currently has a very nice community that will be willing to help you out ![;)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 You guys amuse me.Not to mention I hang around everything Mirage related in one way or the other. It's funny to see people try and fail at stuff we did while intoxicated back in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
