The ACTUAL Problem with MFGG

[Kritter]

It's normal that people want to make more of the same kind of 2D Mario games that they grew up with or love, that's what we probably all started out doing and there's nothing wrong with that. How many people didn't have what they considered the best idea for a 2D Mario game at some point. I know I thought my old Luigi Quest fangame was the greatest idea ever back in the day. I never finished making it but the journey was some of the most fun I've had making fangames.

I think most of us who enjoyed doing that will eventually want to move onto making original titles and that's fine, but MFGG provides a resource for people to learn how to make relatively simple fangames using assets and ideas that already exist and that's no different to me than copying a picture to learn how to draw or editing a sprite to learn how pixel art works. You take those skills and apply them to new things later in life.

MFGG isn't just about fangames though, it's a community for Mario / Nintendo fans and a place to talk about those things with like-minded people. I've always said people come for the fangames and stay for the community. It might not have the same amount of users that it once did but that hasn't changed the point of the community we have here.
