VinnyVideo I finally have a staff icon May 17 2012, 3:12 AM

A kind lass known as Fujiko drew it for me. Rumor has it that she'll draw something for you, too, if you bake her some brownies first. Face it: If you want to get things done, brownies (and cookies) are always the answer.

And no, I don't pretend to lead MFGG in terms of innovative avatar characters - even my old wrestling character was merely a steroid-aided caricature of my actual persona. I did create a yellow-shelled Koopa fan character when I was six years old and didn't know what a fan character even was, but that doesn't count.

On a more relevant note, it's not too late to enter Minigame Competition #21. Check it out if you enjoy making games about raccoons, statues, or that sort of thing.

VinnyVideo Lighthouses, microbiology, and critique May 10 2012, 3:22 AM

OK, it's another rather small update. You can blame me for spending my time finishing up Golden Sun 2 (which was a fun play, incidentally), studying molecular biology, and playing fangames that haven't been accepted yet instead of chugging through the queue. Oh well.

Since there's been some discussion about the quality of critique in recent days, here's an old topic I recently stumbled across from Visionary/CuteYoshiGirl and Kitsune/Nick Ainsworth/Fourside on the old IPB archive. It's highly recommended reading! http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=202649

VinnyVideo Prohibition denied Americans Budweiser for 13 years May 3 2012, 2:49 AM

And we denied you an update for a full six days! Perhaps not the most substantial update ever, but it's still an update. Please enjoy it responsibly.

Also, here's the latest Game of the Month award. Congratulations OmegaBowser!

VinnyVideo A day late but not a dollar short Apr 26 2012, 10:21 PM

Say hello to new Quality Control staffers Elyk and Chaoxys! These folks aren't new to MFGG, but they're now helping with the submission queue. With this additional help, your submissions should get processed a lot more quickly. We'll work even faster, however, if you occasionally bake us some delicious cookies.

Sadly, both Elyk and Chaoxys have been busy the past couple of days, so in breaking with tradition, I'm the one posting this week's update instead of one of the new people. Oh well.

VinnyVideo World power rests in my hands Apr 19 2012, 2:29 AM

User Icon
I'm now an administrator on both the main site and on the forums, instead of just being a quality control staffer and a global moderator. What does this mean for you? Not much, but I felt like making this announcement, lest any of you forget to pay your monthly tribute to the administrators in the form of fresh-baked cookies.

Oh, and since MFGGers need reminders every once in a while: Please don't submit sprites that are recolors or simple edits of existing sheets. Palette swaps are extremely easy to make, and MFGG just doesn't have a need for those. If you'd like to contribute something MFGG needs, try spriting enemies from games like Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, and the New SMB games in different styles - many of those characters have never been sprited in commonly-used styles like Superstar Saga or SMB3. Or sprite a bunch of characters and tiles in your own custom style - that would be extremely useful for people looking to make an original-feeling fangame. I sometimes see some pretty lousy submissions in the queue, but I believe you folks have the ability to accomplish far greater things!

VinnyVideo Sorry about the lack of updates Apr 12 2012, 2:59 AM

Blame sch**l for that.

I've always wanted to write those words, even if Yoshiman, Nite, and TD are the only ones who have any chance of understanding this reference. But yes, it's been a busy time for me, and there haven't been a lot of great submissions lately, so you'll have to live with this small update.

If you're in the mood for some non-Mario fun, try Alexia the Rabbit. It's a sickeningly cute indie game that popped up on the forums, and it's worth a play.

Here's the real update for this week... not that there's anything fake about Mario & Sonic at the 1940 Olympic Games, of course.

Also, congratulations to Supernova for picking up yet another Game of the Month award.

Well, it was either going to be an irrelevant Tim Tebow reference or a pointless note about Benito Juarez Day, and the quarterback won out. Enjoy an update regardless.

VinnyVideo The best way to end this circular day Mar 15 2012, 2:14 AM

How else would you conclude Pi Day? With an update, of course! While you're at it, feel free to do your duty and calculate that funny number past 3.1415926535897932384626433832795.

Also, a few people have complained recently about inappropriate advertisement banners appearing on MFGG. Normally, all ads on MFGG are safe for work, although Retriever II tweaked the AdSense settings to help prevent this problem from happening in the future. At this point, if you see ads for anything fishy-looking, your computer is probably infected with malware, so please get that checked out. This topic may be useful.
