okay, i know everyone's goal is to get people to start developing for the sega genesis (fonzie lol). i think there's one other method we haven't tried, getting to attract different sources of audiences
like, there's an army of computer science majors/engineers the population of a cockroack nest that are looking for something new other than the same old "developing for the pc" (10^100 other people can program a pc now). i think if i post a flyer on the engineering bulletin board, pointing to fonzie's site, then we'd get people developing for the genesis in no time =P

"i know everyone's goal is to get people to start developing for the sega genesis (fonzie lol)" Well thx, but i don't understand the LOL ^^. If i do to much, just tell.... ;D
Anyway, i'm pretty sure it wasn't a waste of time since i get some cool stats (rising and rising up) and some people starts to email/msn me for technical question and i like this.
I just don't want to see the genesis falling into forget (and i think, the snes is)....
Bye

nono don't take it that way, you're not "overdoing" anything at all. what you're doing, and also what others have done to recruit people into getting into sega genesis dev is great, and i do appreciate that; never stop doing less =D. i guess what i meant by "lol" is that i knew you were going to read this =P

The first suggestion I have is that there need's to be more focus on the newbie's I'm not talking about people that allready have experience with anther language I'm taking about peep's like me who have never programed ANY thing I think that's were the future of BEX is As for getting "computer science majors/engineers" I think that's a long shot the majority of that crowd from what I'v seen in forum's feel's that BasiGgaXorz[Genesis] is to limiting......... I am not like you guy's and I don't mean that in a bad way not at all what I mean is The DevSter Forum community's member's well most of u have you're own web site's and most likely have many other TECH related thing's that you enjoy the point is I'm just an HERB TOKEN guy wit no knowledge [well I some what do now] of the thing's you know so well and I think if more time was spent informing peep's like my self on just what is BasiEgaXorz and how thing's can be done with it then I think we would see a more creative community that has a passion for making cool little game's if you didn't keep BEX exclusive...... If you're lookn for more user's then IMHO the noob's are the future as you can see these forum's have gotten extremely quite I belive that there has been peep's that came to this site but the info was so skimpy that they just move on to some thing else like QBasic like I did because there are MANY,MANY,MANY tutorial's and help topic's on that subject so it's clear to me what happend the "computer science majors/engineers" think it's not good enough and the noob's dont have much to go by so they end up using anther langauge to have alittle fun wit...... So what need's to be done well I'v allready made a small tutorial covering a few thing's and I plan on adding more..... if you or the member's of this site could take alitte time to add there knowledge then I think it could greatly benefit us ALL also IMHO I think it would be a good idea to post info on BEX on site forum's that deal with Sega game's and rom's that's how I leaned of BEX I was looking for sega cd Bio's at Eidolon's Inn when I seen BEX....... I'm just trying my best to keep BEX alive it seem's that I am the only one any more What are you're thought's Joseph Norman and the member's of this site??

Well I thought about it some more and I realized that you [DevSter] have done alot I mean you made BEX and made a manual for it and you help people with legitimate question's and asking for a tutorial is unnecessary because there just isn't enough people that need it ,it would be nice but it's not really needed and you are probably are very busy with other thing's So I'll do my best to contribute to this site

So? I'm 26, I work 8 hours a day, study 4 hours a day, and, even then, I still find time to create games... ? Why are most of you so antisocial ? |
Putting simply, most of us are nerds. At least, I am. ;D nd why is talking about making game's such a taboo I mean come on it's not every day we get to discuss our hobby with someone from different place's around the world
|
Well, I don't know about others, but, most of the time, I either haven't anything useful to say or haven't time for saying anything.

Happy birthday Scroger! I'm 21 too! ;D Don't worry, you haven't killed the scene. And as a birthday present , I started a thread in "Talk of the town" encouraging people to talk about what they're currently working on. Not everyone here use BEX but we're all console programming enthusiasts and none of us are bored about what we do. Unfortunately, it seems that some active people here have vanished, starting by Devster himself, Fonzie, Gigabyte, etc Hehe! Most people that are registered here just don't visit the forum anymore! (this is what I figured out...) I agree with you! People shouldn't keep their ideas to themselves! LOL! cya!

If the forums didn't look like a pile of nubcaek, you might get more visiters. Might consider my proposal of a few months ago (get a P200 and use it for a forum server with IPB or phpbb on it.)
