Talking Topic #11

News posted 4th April, 2007 by The Chris Street

What is your favourite moment in Klik history?

This is the discussion for this weeks Talking Topic!

Maybe it was when MMF2 came out, or when you first discovered a klik product. Could it have been when you finally beat that blasted Hume boss in Eternal Daughter? Maybe you were selected to become an editor for a klik site, or perhaps it was when you made your first finished game? You might have found the klik community for the first time and finally realised that you could share your talents with the world? Could your game have appeared on TV, or in a magazine? What is YOUR favourite moment?

Please submit your opinions in the comments thread. Remember to keep things clean, and please respect the opinions of other individuals. And, if you have any ideas for the Talking Topic, feel free to mail them to me! Happy debating!

My favourite moment has to be the release of MMF2. It did have some shortcomings (lack of exts) but it was really great when it finally came out after all that time!

I must have spent hours experimenting with the new features before I even thought about making a game.

MSD FTW!!

Hmm, my favourite moment is finding the klik community really. That's the best thing I can think of

My favourite moment was when I was offered the position of moderator on the Clickteam forum. My second favourite was when I saw my name on the MMF2 manual in the "Special thanks to:" section. My third favourite was when I taught MMF2 to a class of 20 as part of my HND Computing course.

When I became a mod on iklik-it.com and released Fishhead 2. People WORSHIPPED me, all 7 of them.

Probably when people commented on my first game here, The Great Piggy Escape. I was stoked that people downloaded it at all. Either that or seeing it on the front page, awesome awesome.

Probably my first front-page mention, because I'm a shitty narcissist.

When I met Phizzy

And I thought the community was "SLOWLY ROTTING"?

"no probably when the site all of the sudden got much better with much more activity"

1. When I made my first CPM

2. When my copy of MMF2 arrived.

Sure, the day I acquired MMF2 was a notable one, but I'd say my favourite day in Klik history is when I posted my first-ever game here. I'm quite an outsider in the community, and I'd been lurking literally for years, but at that moment I realized I could start contributing to the community in a personal, positive way.

I may never win GOTW again, I may never release another super-fun and/or addictive game, but it's been a superb, never-ending learning experience since that day.

I would say 'discovering the community', but that's not really a moment in Klik history itself so much as finally discovering that there were other people that used it.

I would say the release of MMF2, as it's the first time that a major release has happened when we have the community at the size (and closeness to Clickteam itself) that we have now.

When MMF2 came out, when the TDC 26 minutes competition won GOTW, when my shitty remake of another game won GOTW. Those are my favourite moments.

When Diamond: Revolution 2 won GOTW. (first game of mine to win)

The completely random release of Streambolt. That and finding the demo of Mr. Malibus 2 before anyone else posted news about it. DAMN YOU ZELLIX!

When I first got the internet in 1994/1995 and found Silky's.

When I played with the Klik and Play demo for the first time!

When my KNP FAQ got top 5 downloads on Click Cafe for three weeks straight. Heck, it's probably one of the few things that's been top for 3 weeks straight, since there was a bug that didn't reset the downloads per week for those 3 weeks

Inspired me to make the Click FAQ a few years later, which nobody really cares about anymore. But was nice to see some of the positive comments on the Click FAQ as well as getting some space on KA for it.

The day MMF2 was released, before the release.
We had a party at the Clickteam forums, everyone including admins were having fun (which include a little spamminess from both users and admins

) in some topic.

"When I first got the internet in 1994/1995 and found Silky's. "

That's a Click moment?

Posted by Hayo

5th April, 2007

yes it is. Look at the click timeline

Posted by DaVince

I meant the fact that he got an internet connection.

Posted by Hayo

5th April, 2007

Hmm, for me getting an internet connection was a klik moment because then I realised I was crap at making games.

Getting MMF2 Developer was a good highlight for me, but I think the best moment for any developer must be to experience the joy of releasing their first game or application and if possible, getting coverage on websites

When I found da community, or when JonnyRPG got released.

In 1996 when a whole classroom was playing (with ancient 486s) my ~first game made with KnP.

Ever since from there it has been a downhill.

When JonnyRPG got released, best game ever

Posted by Chrisbo

5th April, 2007

When I got an internet connection, Klik and Play was the first thing I searched for, so yeah I guess it went hand in hand

Posted by falkon

5th April, 2007

definately when mmf2 was released. As said before there was a freakin party going on in the forums. There was probably a another post every 2 seconds.

Posted by ..:.Phox.:..

6th April, 2007

for me, that moment is still to come...

BUT I really loved the feelign of getting MMF1.5 and finally realizing I would be able to make games with it!

cheers

When the original V-Cade opened, and myself and Giles3 "hacked" it and gave ourselves highscores on every game.

Kjetil Nossum: I remember when you were a moderator on Code-It's Announcements and Tips & Tutorials forums while I was a mod on the Role Playing forum.
