Not sure what else to put. Thanks for the help

Topic: Serious Discussion / Animal Rights

What bugs me is when people do cruel things to animals. I mean, I’m no animal rights activist, or whatever, but I can’t stand it when people kill animals ‘Because they want to’. Or even when pet owners ignore their animals. I’ve seen many a show where people go into crazy cat ladies houses, and see trash everywhere that’s probably been there for weeks, while all these animals are just running around, even, in one shows case, having babies without the owner even knowing. For goodness sake, there were dead cat’s carcasses in her house! Freaking dead carcasses!

However much I hate it when I see the die hard vegetarians who ’won’t eat anything that casts a shadow’ or ‘Has a soul’, I do think there are lines that need drawn about the treatment of animals, and restriction on hunting for just the purpose of the kill, or the meat.

My family has hunted for a while, and when we take a deer down, we take the deer back, skin it, and butcher it and toss the meat in the freezer for eating at a later time. I personally hunt for the kill, the adrenaline rush is amazing, feeling your heart beat so loud that all other sounds are drown out, your heart beating so hard it feels like it’s going to explode out of your chest, the adrenaline steadying your hands (I have shaky hands, so the adrenaline keeps my hands still), then when you pull the trigger the couple seconds of anxiety, to see if you hit your mark, and see if you have a trophy deer :P Either way, whenever we take a deer, all meat is harvested, the skin is taken and cured by a friend of ours, and the carcass is tossed out for the bears to pick off of, and eventually decompose.

On the subject of growing animals just for processing and selling, I’m a christian, and in the Bible, it says that God gave the earth to humans for us to rule and have dominion over. We require food and water as much as the animals do, and if our way of finding food for us to eat is by mass production of animals, than what more can we do? We’ve pretty much passed the phase of having enough wooded areas (at least in the city), that running around and foraging and hunting is nigh on impossible for all of America to do, so therefore we have to find a way to keep ourselves properly fed and hydrated.

That’s my two cents on the subject. Since I never check the forums don’t expect me to respond.

Topic: General Gaming / Game you want added to Kongregate.

I’d like to see a new Tactical RPG, like Final Fantasy Tactics or something like that. I haven’t really found one that is a huge amount of fun, it just becomes kill, go to this place, kill, ‘Oh boy, you got the legendary “OMGWTFBBQ” Sword that will auto kill all of your enemies!’ Congratulations! You beat the game!

However high I shoot for my killstreaks, my highest killstreak is only like 18 or something like that : /

Topic: Game Programming / Looking for a bit of info

I’m currently a bit interested in getting into developing flash games, and I’d like to know a couple of things… First off, just to give you a little idea of what you’re dealing with, I’m a 15 year old homeschooler. Although my age is lacking, I do have quite a bit more knowledge than most my age. I’m very good with math, which is partially the reason I want to do this. I enjoy the number crunching that something like this (I imagine) would have.

1. Would it be possible for me to become strictly based on programming with my work or would there need to be some sort of artistic values associated with it? What I’d like to be able to do is be in a (minimum of) 3 man team, me programming, one guy doing the art, and one doing sound. Now I don’t care who would do the story line if that’s the type of game we’re going for, or just the idea itself. We might need a 4th for that as well, who knows.

2. Are there any free programs I can use that will get me acquainted with the Flash interface? I don’t mean layed out exactly like Flash, but something that’s easy enough to use that if I switched from ______ programming to Flash that I’d only need to look for a tool every here and there.

3. What kind of time does it take for a team of about 3 to complete a game that could measure up to…I dunno… Sonny 1 I guess? It took the team that did that quite a while to put out 2 after I heard about it, so I imagine quite some time, especially with a smaller amount of people than what I imagined would have been working on Sonny 2.

4. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Links, Information on what I should be looking into, videos, whatever, it’d all be awesome.

Thanks for your time.
