Shin Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Characters inspired by traits actual people have is fine. When you look at a serious project and go "yeah, that's the dude making it", it's a little groan worthy, it reminds me of fanfiction. Although it does allow wonderful joke hacks.

SilverHairedFreak25 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm fine with it, as long as one or more of these things takes place: 1. Their general character is different from you, and they only have your look and/or name. 2. The hack isn't serious. 3. They don't make it obvious it's a self-insert.

ghast Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 if you can't tell, is it really a self-insert? consider this: DoF's entire cast is made up of self-inserts would it surprise you that Malcolm is a self-insert and I'm actually a birdman irl? did the dof team change their names from like furet to garath, astra to... something and whatnot for any specific reason? I was always curious about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside-DownFish Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 As long as the story and characters don't bend over backwards to constantly sing their praises towards said self-insert, I'm fine with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Turns out I'm secretly Dmitri, and killed my family in HOA The way I see it, characterizations are fine, as long as said character doesn't take over the story (EG Matt being the lord because of his quest to vengeance in HOA, decides to make characterization a main story thing, describing his life word for word) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICKT™ Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nintenlord If for no other reason than to update his outdated stuff This, so much this. Maybe FlyingAce as well. Also Xeld, for good measure. Plus there was one fellow years and years ago who was instrumental in FE hacking, name was Icy Toast, from what I can recall. Would love to see what he could do nowadays.

Matt Snow Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I kinda miss Boney/Bonestorm. Cheshire and Lancer as well cause I wanted to play their hack. They might still be around but I haven't seen them in a while. Oh and Ryru, cause that guy could do some really cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHairedFreak25 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I wanna see Cedarnyx come back. She's worked on some pretty good stuff, but she seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth. *puts on flame-retardant clothing and ducks into bunker* Edited July 7, 2015 by SilverHairedFreak25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
