Just an old fashioned rant...

... I really am disappointed in the entire fan-dome as a whole. It is not for the more common reason of porn or art theft or any thing like that. Rather it upsetting that I can not find any extreme hard core gamers in the fan-dome. Most every one know that I am trying to Dev. my own MMO where Furies will be a playable race among others. I have posted on the forums here at FA, and FurryGamers.com.
I received some good information on the Forums here and Nothing on the Forums at Furry Gamers. Honestly there seem to be more mundanes out there gaming than any one else. I could care less about the drama, I have my own headaches and don't care to add to them with someone Else's perceived problems.
Okay granted that I do not read every forum post on any of the sites that I watch, 10+ sites. Nor do I read every Journal that is streamed to me here. I do scan over the titles and read the ones that catch my eye.
All the forum posts and one of my Journals have been directly related to research for the aspect of the Furies in my game. This only works if I get honest answers, input,
What is the point of driving my self mad with any where from six to ten hours a day of grinding design work, mechanic application, art designs, economic design, cultural layout, etc.
Is there some unwritten rule that a Furry can not take a step out side of the the box and show the world that we are capable of extraordinary things? I don't think so. Take a look at the amazing Artists on this site, how about 2grypon? Why is it that Writing is considered art, Drawing, sketching, 3d modeling, all of this are "art." What about the Programmers? Are they any less of an artist because they write the physics engine that makes something like a feather float while a game character plummets to their death, or injury... What about the Content Developers? are they less of an artist than any one else because they don't have anything to show other than 'Quests' and rewards, all their work is done with words and story line...
Honestly Why are Game designers and Developers ignored? When was the last time that you looked through the credits of you favorite game? If the game becomes a huge success then Every knows who Published the game, but they still do not know the original Designers and developers, no one really cares enough to take the time to learn their favorite world builders and economists,
Try. I want you to try just for an hour to think of every little detail that goes into a standard console game or arcade game. Try keeping some Tylenol close by. More nights have been lost to my mind working over time while I am sleeping and while I am awake I work my self into at least one migraine a day.
There is a common thought about the Gaming Industry... "If you want to work in the Industry then you must be mad, or at least a bit off your rocker. and Most people would say that I have taken then lvl of insanity a bit far.
I know that there are games out there with similarities with what I am making, there are also games out there that will have some of the same mechanics as my own, but the Game in it's own right will be wholly unique because of one simple fact. It has been my own alternate universe since I was in elementary school. When I needed to get away or simply got bored I would run away to a new world and make new friends in my own mind. I am not working for any major name studio, I don't even have all the hard ware I need to publish a working demo or prototype. I have only gotten a couple of close friends that have willingly offered to help me with this near all consuming pet project. They each have their own projects that they are working on and can not dedicate themselves to it like I can, but none the less they have at least given me more assistance than the fan-dome.
There seem to be a large number of furies that scream about not being treated fairly and the one time, that I know of, that some one tries to make a difference in a major way all I get is a hand full of honest responses and a equal amount of people that just want to make snide responses and replies that offer no incite as to what they would want.
I am just simply done, honestly if this is the kind of response I can expect from the Fan-dome then the Fan-dome can take what they are given and I will leave the external development to the ones who really care about what they read and respectfully provide input that not only aids in the creation process but also challenges the preconceived notions that No one Cares.
If you honestly think that no one cares, then I have some rather shocking news for your... You are RIGHT!!!! the only way to get some one to give a smoke is to prove that you are worth the time to care about!
Go ahead and prove me wrong, that is if you decide that this is worth your time, then you time might be worth mine!
