It feels like only yesterday I was ten years old hocking a lazy edit of the Hello Mario SMB1 engine with background assets recolored Pepto-Bismol-pink and calling it "Super Mario Bros. World".
I don't really come here anymore other than just to lurk and be nostalgic sometimes and I think I've kinda grown apart from this place, but like, it'll always have a special place in my heart. MFGG was super formative for me, for better or for worse, and some of my longest standing friendships started on here. And I really appreciate it being kind of a breeding ground for kids interested in making games. I almost see it as like an indie gamedev equivalent of like, Second City or something. I really hope everyone still hanging out here goes on to do great things. There was that guy who did something or other with peoples' Wiis and then went on to make some hat game. Idk
Anyway, happy 20th MFGG.
