It has been a long time indeed! Good to hear from you again. There is not a whole bunch going on around here at the moment, although as always I have updates in the works. These days however I am much more busy with a full time job, freelancing and doing things on the house that I bought. Incredibly hard to find time these days for old hobbies

Good news guys, yesterday I spent a bit of time on GDU4. The first time in months. GDU4 is still coming! The update will have practically 0 new features, except for updated forum software. The reason for this is it would be impossible to finish revamping the entire website front-end without getting distracted by developing new features. To summarize once again, GDU4.... Will have a nice and modern design and UI; Will be way more simplified; Updated forum software; No new features in terms of functionality; Looking into the future, any development will be focused on the games section and the refinery, which I think have the most potential for attracting developers. The refinery is actually really cool.... we just need some more users!

Moved to RPG Maker VX Ace Support

Weclome! Don't hesitate to ask any questions. :thumbsup:

I'm saying you're the best already.

Looks like there's no need to improve:

Super unhelpful guys,

By reason of spam, trolling and/or flaming I hereby give public notice that Aaron is banned.

The plot thickens

Lookin' positive so far.

Vote in the Pol.

Sweeeeet. Link? (i know you have given it to me before but I'm not on my usual computer)

+2 months and still the same for me :( I wish I had time for GDU but I barely have time to sleep. Things will change though, I'm sure. :thumbsup:

I bought a house. I fought it for as long as I could but I'm an adult now T.T Been doing up the downstairs to create a games room, big job :) My programming skills haven't helped at all :( Gona be sweet when its done, but with work and everything else happening week to week I haven't really had any time for leisure. Also still working on a big web project for my old employer and trying to get the website to launch. Development started November 2015!

Yeah, I've been around too long.

There should be a copy on Creation Asylum somewhere.... DerVVulfman still hangs around there last time I checked (although that was a long time ago).

Wow this topic has been going for ages. Since it started we got a games section for this type of thing :) Btw, I'm curious, what are the secrets of kankara?

Honestly, this is super impressive. I am overwhelmingly curious about how the system works with node.js (I never got to learn it, even though I was around when it first started up :( ). I too had ambitions once to develop a huge website from scratch. Although my scope was way too huge, it's a big commitment. I therefore hold grave fears for your motivation on progressing this project.... will the constant cycles of motivation and RL stuff that happen, etc. Just so you know, I have big plans for our games section :yo: And I'm outsourcing the forums, so you better get busy.

Yeah, I mean with this type of website it is quite peculiar to publish your real name. However the refinery is meant to be something more personal, as I said in the op. The other websites that the refinery is based on use real names and not usernames, just like any social media account. In any case, it'd be purely optional. ... it's not?

So the idea behind the refinery display name was to allow members to use their real names, to bring forward a sense of community and attribution to works. In a sense, a member's refinery posts are like their portfolio of works. My new idea for display names are a follows, two options, either: a customer name with a field for a first name and last name. You enter those details and your display username shows as follows first name "username" last name, i.e. Mark "Kushi" Markingtonson. or not a custom name, the standard username shows up just like on the forums.
