			<description><![CDATA[I have already listed Manifest Destiny, Last Obliterator, and Jekyll & Hyde. Here are two side projects I'll be toying with to practice spriting, writing, and other gamey words that end in "iting"<br />
<br />
Godzilla: Global Devastation<br />
------------------------------------<br />
Plot: Oh Shit, aliens are taking over the world, giant monsters are blowing stuff up, and us humans are in over our heads yet again! Follow one of several faction's stories as you attempt to save or conquer the earth.<br />
<br />
Gameplay: Turn Based Strategy, probably just going to make a knockoff of Advanced Wars like everyone else is doing (ahem). The player would directly control a military faction (earth defense force, space aliens, ect. ect.) and must accomplish some form of objective, on many of the maps there will be at least one giant monster from the Godzilla mythos. These monsters will move randomly and simply destroy anything that either gets in their way or shoots at them, however there are units the player can produce that can lure, repel and even control these fearsome titans. Some missions will require the player to destroy the enemy faction, protect or destroy a building, or to take control of, repell, or even kill a monster.<br />
<br />
purpose: NOBODY has ever made a good Godzilla game, EVER. They've always pulled the same crap every game maker pulls with a big name; they make a bastarding half-assed game, usually a really bad multiplayer fighting game. I want to make a game that's at least passable compared to the other games with the words "God" and "Zilla" in the title.<br />
<br />
---------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
I'll post all my side projects in this thread to avoid generating needless spam. Expect to see bad spriting attempts as, like I said, I'll be using these side projects as practice for my main games.]]></description>

Look at firefox, a great browser that benefits from being open source. I didnt really see a reason for it NOT being open source in the faq. It merely states "This is not in our plans for the foreseeable future. " Can someone explain what benefit they (the company or creators) would get from not making stencyl open source?<br />

PS; it would develop a lot faster if it was opensource too :wizard:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well now, Sephiroth here.<br />
<br />
I would like to get a couple things out there. As you may know, about five weeks ago, I mentioned I was going to be moving in with my mom. I would like to leave some greater details than what I have left before.<br />
<br />
Late 2004, an unexpected event happened in my life. My parents split up. For a good portion of that year, I was living with one of my aunts on and off. Now, this aunt was kind enough to take me in under her wing in my time of need, when she found out she couldn't collect any kind of money on me, she simply ousted me like a pest. One day while I was in high school, the child protection service was contacted, and the state of Indiana was gonna take me away from my parents. Now for almost 6 months prior to this, my dad was living in Kentucky. However, when he found out my aunt called the Child Protection Service on me, my dad had dropped whatever he was doing, and drove 800 miles up to Northwest Indiana to pick me up and take me to my home in Kentucky. This was nice and all, however because of this, I had to transfer high schools during my senior year in high school. So after I withdrew from my high school in Northwest Indiana that day the Child Protection Service was called on me, my dad immediately took me past my old house up here, and we picked up pretty much all that we could pick up in the truck. This was when I snatched the computer, and the computer became mine. (Another story for later) Now, after that, without any sleep, my dad drove me back to Kentucky, where I settled into the apartment my dad was renting at the time. And as such, I finished up my high schooling in a school where I only knew about 3 people out of the whole class of about 50. (Small-town high schools, go figure.) This was when my life just fell apart. I really didn't want to have to change schools, I wanted to graduate from the school I was attending to in Northwest Indiana. ... Anyways, that's just a little background information for me. ... ... Over the next 4 years, I lived peacefully with my dad. Could you say I was happy? ... Inside, my heart was shattered. But on the surface, you couldn't really tell. But inside, I was hurting for at least a year. I was sad to have had to move away from my mom, but let me inform you of yet some other details about what happened.<br />
<br />
As you may know, 4 to 5 years ago, my parents split up. At first it wasn't too bad, but eventually it hit us. Some of you may remember a site I was assisting with at the time, dubbed Gaming and Quest Making Resources. Well, I want to let you all know what really happened. Some of you may not recognize some usernames I might mention here, but don't be alarmed, this is just history on myself. During it's time, the domain name and the hosting it was on, was paid for by a fellow named Codelinker at the time. Not sure of his present-day screen name, or if he even still utilizes the internet. But eventually the hosting and the domain expired. Why? I was way too young myself at the time to be paying for a host as well as a domain name. So eventually Codelinker fell off the face of the net, in a fashion I had during GQMR's end. Reason why I ended up stranded offline for the length I was offline for back then? Well, because my parents split up, my dad had moved out of the house. So all the bills had to be paid for by my mom. However, she was unable to pay these bills at the time, so they began cutting them off one-by-one. First to go was the phone service and internet service. Then eventually the electric was cut off. About a week or two after the electric was cut off, I ended up moving into the aunt's place I mentioned near the beginning of this post. For roughly two or three weeks, we tried to figure out a way where I could easily go to school, and still be able to have a decent ride back to my aunts. However, at the time, my aunt was being a pain in the arse, and didn't want to travel a mere two to three minutes out of her way on her way home from work, as during that time, I had made arrangements to ride the bus over to a friend's place that was near where my aunt was living. So then she eventually calls the Child Protection Service after she finds out she couldn't collect anything off me, such as social security, or welfare or anything like that.<br />
<br />
So now you have a good idea of how I ended up living in Kentucky, out in the middle of nowhere for a good 4 years.<br />
<br />
Anyways, a lot has changed in these past 5 weeks that I would like to mention. First of all, my mom has once again showed me that she cares for me, and loves me. She truly does want the best for me. I just ended up having to move away from her, because at the time, she was unable to support herself, let alone support her two kids. (My Sister ended up moving to Florida, but that's another story in itself, and I do not wish to discuss it.) Now in the past 5 weeks, my mom has given me pretty much anything I had asked for. (Minus the new computer, due to financial issues, which I will not discuss, since that is private business.)<br />
<br />
However, in the past 5 weeks, I've gained a new view on my life. I truly am happier here with my mom. And there's another lady I would like to tell you of. She's a prophet, and she had visions for 4 years, that I eventually would end up with my mom again. Now you may think I'm weird, but you know what? The Christian inside myself has reawaken, and once again, I have a lot of faith in our Lord.<br />
<br />
Now to state a couple things about the near-to-distant future. This lady me and my mom are living with, she wants to open up a Christian Center here in Michigan City, Indiana. And she's already planning for it to come forth in the spring of 2009. She's estimating that in April, she will be able to start looking for a piece of land to be using for this center, and I have been guaranteed a place to live, as well as a job at the center, once it comes forth. She will be needing someone with my skills for the center, and eventually I will be needing to pick up some alternate languages, so I can communicate across the internet with other countries around the world. We're planning this center to be huge eventually, and a lot of things are going to take place here, as well as a lot of things will change here in Michigan City, Indiana, due to the opening of the center. However, if and when this center comes forth, I will no longer have as much free time on the internet as I do now. I will be employed full-time, with a proper salary to boot. I will also not have to worry about a place to live, as I will live on the center, rent-free. How awesome is that?<br />
<br />
So to summarize, within the next 4 or 5 months, a lot of things in my life is going to change. And eventually I may have to distance myself from some of these online communities, to give myself the proper amount of time I need to devote to my job. Priorities and everything will need to be put in play here. So this is just a small bit of background information on myself. I hope you had fun reading such a lengthy post this is, but if you have any questions, feel free to add them into this thread. Thank you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And I would like to leave a message to the Stencyl Team. Thank you for supporting some of my sudden disappearances during the time I was on the team. I really wanted to stick with this project through to the end, however, I will be keeping an eye on this project, and the team members do know how to contact me should they need to. To everyone out there, I wish everyone lots of good luck! I will continue to idle in the IRC chatroom for a few more months, but with how things are looking, I will be unable to return to the team. So with that, now everyone can see that I have officially resigned from my duties here.<br />
<br />
Stephen, Jon: I wish all of you the best of luck. I truely do. This is a project that has shown me great promises. Let me see you guys eventually roll out a release! I'll be rootin' for you! :)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Well now, Sephiroth here.<br />
<br />
I would like to get a couple things out there. As you may know, about five weeks ago, I mentioned I was going to be moving in with my mom. I would like to leave some greater details than what I have left before.<br />
<br />
Late 2004, an unexpected event happened in my life. My parents split up. For a good portion of that year, I was living with one of my aunts on and off. Now, this aunt was kind enough to take me in under her wing in my time of need, when she found out she couldn't collect any kind of money on me, she simply ousted me like a pest. One day while I was in high school, the child protection service was contacted, and the state of Indiana was gonna take me away from my parents. Now for almost 6 months prior to this, my dad was living in Kentucky. However, when he found out my aunt called the Child Protection Service on me, my dad had dropped whatever he was doing, and drove 800 miles up to Northwest Indiana to pick me up and take me to my home in Kentucky. This was nice and all, however because of this, I had to transfer high schools during my senior year in high school. So after I withdrew from my high school in Northwest Indiana that day the Child Protection Service was called on me, my dad immediately took me past my old house up here, and we picked up pretty much all that we could pick up in the truck.

But on the surface, you couldn't really tell. But inside, I was hurting for at least a year. I was sad to have had to move away from my mom, but let me inform you of yet some other details about what happened.<br />
