This is a well written goal for MFGG. However I have some objection and suggestions:
- Weakness - Highly PC-centric - not a lot of resources for mobile development
Even though I was among the first few member who ventured into mobile development, I felt like mobile development is not a big concern for MFGG yet. To put into a perspective, PC development is a lot cheaper to test with, more controls, and easy to develop with. On the other hand, mobile development is a lot more harder, expensive (like export options in Game Maker), and limited (touch screen controls are just inefficient) to develop with. However I felt like other computer systems like macOS and Linux is more feasible for fangame development. If we do implement games with selected platforms, I would of prefer something like this:
- Windows XP or earlier
- Windows Vista/7
- Windows 8/8.1
- Windows 10
- Mac OS X 10.10 or earlier
- macOS 10.11 or later
- Linux
- Other (Console or mobile)
- Some mainsite resources are redundant or poorly-organized
I totally agree with this. I felt like categorizing (especially with graphics) needs serious improvement. As a suggestion, I would've prefer:
- Type: Klik library, sprite sheet, tileset, background, bundle (zip/rar/etc), other
- Games: <any mainstream Mario games>, Mario Party games, Mario Sports games, ... , fangame, other non-mario games
- Attribution: Ripped, Edited, Original
- Tags: submitter can add any tags like characters, items, HUD, etc.
- Fair: We strive to be equitable in making decisions when accepting submissions, moderating the forums, and promoting new staff members.
