i'm not sure to what extent i still identify with the glorious trainwrecks philosophy but it was a really nice scene to "grow up in" as a gamedev. also explains my disdain for things like "polish" and "quality" and "putting music and sound effects in your game"

Front page of Glorious Trainwrecks, with an image of a train crash and the following introductory text:

Glorious Trainwrecks is about bringing back the spirit of postcardware, circa 1993. It's about throwing a bunch of random crap into your game and keeping whatever sticks. About bringing back a time when you didn't care so much about "production values", as much as ripping sound samples from your favourite television shows to use in your game, or animating pictures of yourself making goofy faces on your webcam. Where every ridiculous idea you had, you would just sit down and code. When you would make up a "company name" to legitimize dorking around on the computer with your friends.

It is not about unfinished, unplayable games. If any part of a glorious trainwreck is terrible, it is terrible in a way that is AWESOME.

Together, you and I will bring the true spirit of indie gaming back. Yes, you! For this site is about nothing, if it is not about getting off your ass and creating. Wikipedia claims that they used to stage trainwrecks (with empty trains, of course) for the amusement of the general population. Would the world not be a better place if we brought this tradition back?

It doesn't matter if you've got talent, so long as you've got gusto. Your game does not have to be coherent -- but it does have to be finished.

IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO GLORY.

MMF 1.5's sprite editor had a freeform lasso tool and a very different UI and palette arrangement. MMF 1.5 really was a different thing. (Screenshot registered to Nash)

For those waiting to start or just go legit, Clickteam's sales usually align with Steam's own and are typically 50% off (occasionally further discounted.) The 2026 #Steam Autumn Sale is from October 1 :-)

Ah, the great days of the early 2000s when software companies started going rogue with version numbering. I remember going to Macromedia's conference and everyone was asking "what does MX stand for?" and delegates would answer "it stands for an integrated suite where all the programs work together"

It uprooted entire lives. Difficult skills learned, celebrated then made obsolete inside of two decades. The lesson is that corporations do not care, and one is a fool to act like they do.

People built their whole careers off of _Flash_! Everyone loved Flash games! Homestar Runner was regarded as the future! MeFi had a category called Flash Friday! It was E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E. Then Apple decided it was too power hungry, and Adobe killed it because they wouldn't support it.

When Click & Create launched, its most similar alternative was Macromedia Director, which was $1000. Times have changed, as have the ways we pay for some software, and Fusion unfairly gets a reputation these days for being "expensive" because of the initial cost but it's still a great deal.

I saw Microsoft is starting to use TPM chips and other hardware to make it impossible to pirate newer versions of Windows. You know what? Windows is genuinely not worth pirating anyway.

It's so funny to spin China's pivot to Linux as conquering America since they were pirating Windows wholesale this whole time Microsoft is probably relieved

This is true. It is the reason Microslop doesn't go after people pirating Windows (at least mostly). They know that the more you use it the more you get absorbed into using their system. That then translates to the need for businesses to use whatever is dominant.

No one who uses Linux would ever say Adobe. Krita, Inkscape and GIMP are big ones to look into. These run on Windows as well so you can try without having to take the time to set up a virtual machine or boot into a live environment. Using Wine or Winboat is also an option, but sometimes difficult.

The best part about living in your own bubble is that you can do whatever the hell you want: No chasing trends, no following only what's popular, no drawing things just because everyone's talking about it... None of that! Just having fun for the sake of it! It feels so freeing ^w^

Correct - the paradigm shift in how styles are managed focuses on compatibility across web/desktop/mobile and a shift away from competing with other desktop publishing alternatives. Scoping for Adobe CS came to the fore.

Reckon you'll be waiting a while, I'm afraid. Plenty of alternatives exist for what people use, but most folk don't want alternatives, sadly. Can't have your cake and eat, I guess. The ones I hear about most: Ableton Live, Clip Studio Paint and Adobe suite. There's probably others though.
