Basically my friend hired two people to help him make a get-rich-quick game (Don't ask), and now it's on the front page.
I met those two kids, and not only were they OBNOXIOUS, they had no idea what they were talking about.
Now, we all know us scripters argue over stupid things, and one of them happened to chat "Ugh this BodyForce isn't working"
I asked "What BodyForce?", to which he replied:
"The one for pets"
Then I said, "Why don't you just use CFrame?"
Him: "CFrame is choppy, BodyForce is smooth"
Me: You're using CFrame wrong
Him: Lolno BodyForce has lerp CFrame does not
At this point I was genuinely questioning this kid's IQ, but before I could roast him my friend shut the game down. |

| It sort of depends on who you're talking about. Some front-page game developers actually do know what they're doing. |

| @tbn Ironically, I did script a speed wall game for another guy. So then I would be the #### #### Plus I used CFrame, the RIGHT WAY, instead of lag-inducing physics-depending BodyForces to move it. |

@Abstract The only, and I mean ONLY, frontpage game that has scripting in it that makes me say "Whoa" is Phantom Forces, but everybody thinks that.
I mean, Loleris doesn't even use FE for crying out loud. |

| Forgot to mention, they're going to have fun times if ever they try to use a more serious game engine. |

It isn't new, I just can't believe people like us (Probably not me actually, just people on the Scripters subforum) work so hard on stuff and then just because kids have money they get rich and get all the players and whatnot.
Now, granted nobody here works on games, but still. |

I work on games, but, they almost never pan out.
I'm hoping I can at least contribute one good thing to ROBLOX before I leave, even if it's just a crappy Module. |

| @Intended You're probably right. Most of the scripters in the subforum do work hard, and they know what they're doing. That also means that we're the more likely ones to have a solid career in programming later on, so in the end we'll probably be earning more. |

That makes me feel better, Abstract. I do wish people'd play my games that I waste time dev'ing on here though. I should totally continue learning Unreal, huh? |

Unreal? Ew...
I'd recommend just rendering from scratch in OpenGL.
(Although I barely know anything about OpenGL besides triangles and VBOs.) |

| Ok, let's just agree that since most everybody here scripts because they like scripting and actually put time and effort into their projects they'll be more successful. |

| Indeed. Although I do have the aspiration of creating the first full-featured gui-based 2D adventure game on ROBLOX :P |
