Challenge and fighting and fighting and challenge

Seriously.

It's always nice to find MMF2 games "in the wild", as it were - the program doesn't have nearly the recognition that it deserves, and when somebody else on one of the many boards I visit points out a game that was made with it, it feels like another step towards people actually knowing what it is. We do have our poster-boy Nifflas who makes wonderfully atmospheric games that admittedly aren't to everyone's taste, and the release of The Underside at some indeterminate point in the future will probably help out a lot, if only for the "It's Cave Story", "no it isn't", "yes it is" arguing that's already been going on for some months.

Anyway. Somebody called Kayin Nasaki has used MMF2 to open the gates of digital hell and has written "I Wanna Be The Guy" (no relation to Strong Bad) - a platform game that is deliberately unfair and impossibly hard. Naturally this has made it immensely popular, and his demented creativity in trying to create overwhelming opposition at every turn is most impressive. Even the first screen contains a rotten trick within another rotten trick that I had to look up the walkthrough on Youtube just to get past. I am currently very proud to have made it to the third screen.

Have a look at this if your life has been a bit too nice recently

Additionally, I'm going to attempt to start writing a bit more about Clickteam-related news and my work with them (as loose as that term is seeing as it's been about half a year since I did any writing for them) under its own tag, because I know a couple of people from the forum read this and I might even be able to drum up some interest if I go on about it for long enough.
