@the topic starter: Thank you for playing ET: CF. ;-; It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I was a real n00b when I first came here. I had my stuff planned out already...I was gonna make a trilogy called Sonic Rush (lol).
In the conclusion of my first post, I asked, "By the way, where do I get MMF?"
Obviously I didn't go down the game creation path. I did, however, take the path of pixelart, which was a long and arduous route in itself. I can't believe it's been eight years since I started making sprites.
List of fangaming influences:
Aytac's stuff
When Tails Gets Bored
Sonic Mega Adventure (or something, it was a terrible game, but it had this one room with a crapload of Rings. I got a real kick out of that for some reason)
Sonic Robo Blast 2
Jamie Bailey's stuff (gee, where is that guy, I wonder.)
TGF Team stuff (specifically, Sonic 2099)
Red XVI's stuff
and I probably missed some. Today, I am the spriter/general graphics artist for Emerald Ties: Crossing Fates.
