For those who don't live in the United States and/or unfamiliar with how car recalls work, if a car manufacturer discovers that they have a faulty part, potentially harming their customers, they will issue a nation-wide car recall. Any customers that comply with that recall will have their vehicle fixed with proper parts. At this same time, this will protect the car manufacturer from legal liability pertaining to those faulty parts from thereon after. It makes sense. If you received a car recall due to a faulty party, refuse the recall, then get into an accident where the faulty part is the cause, then you lose legal viability to push forth a case. | For those who don't live in the United States and/or unfamiliar with how car recalls work, if a car manufacturer discovers that they have a faulty part, potentially harming their customers, they will issue a nation-wide car recall.

For context, a plugin thief decided to steal code from both [[Olivia]] and I and resell it. This naturally didn't sit well with me since my disciple and I were involved. Resi, instead, decided to shout that I was abusing my authority and acting like a "tyrant". Keep that word in mind, you'll see it come up again later. | ||

+ | |||

+ | | Now this is where it's taken too far. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the first place, how is Drifty or Tea or anyone in that conversation is supposed to know what gender Resi even is? | ||
+ | |||
+ | How can that even be a mark for transphobia? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Maybe we can go to Resi's Twitter profile to take a look? | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[File:FossilDrama_Part3_010a.png|400px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | It says "Pronouns are 🦄/🦄s/🦄self (This is a joke, please clap.)" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even as a joke, there is nothing to mention what gender Resi states he or she is. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To my knowledge, years ago when Resi first sent me the link to place on Yanfly.moe for the Action Sequence Notetags reference guide, Resi referred to him/herself as a male. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, when she was causing problems later on, she shifted to female. Cleary, there's some gender fluidity going on here, and that's okay. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But how can you expect someone to know this information when | ||
+ | |||
+ | # they don't even interact with Resi all that often | ||
+ | # even if they did look Resi up, they see that "Pronouns are 🦄/🦄s/🦄self (This is a joke, please clap.)" statement | ||
+ | # to which, Resi never introduced him or herself was either in the first place | ||
+ | |||
+ | Throwing out the "transphobia" card here is dangerous and demeaning. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Especially when it is thrown out for the sake of Resi's own convenience. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The very existence of that statement is straight up insulting to those who actually suffer from transphobic actions. | ||

IntroductionAugust is one magical month. It's the month where people like to seem like to get angry and defecate onto other people's otherwise peaceful lives for no reason. No good reason, I should say. Restart, the creator of Fossil MZ, decided to do just that. Part 1. Accusations
Post InvestigationSo this is where things start getting interesting. I start doing my own investigation. I take a look at his post made on RPG Maker Web for Fossil MZ. Did a search for "Dragonbones". Nothing. Did a search for "KELYEP", nothing. Did a search for "KEL". Nothing pertaining to Green Kel although it did catch "likely". In other words, there's nothing regarding Dragonbones there. Now, it's starting to make sense why he's poking his nose around the obfuscated code for VisuStella MZ's Dragonbones. Remember how I said that we had problems porting it over? And we failed three times with the ports? It's extremely likely that this person was unable to do it, too. So what was the best way to make it work? Take code from another library where it already works. Guess whose library that was? VisuStella MZ. Now this is all conjecture, but based on how he was deobfuscating our code, demanding that we release the code publicly for all to see, I think it's pretty clear what his intentions are. For those who need it spelled out, he wanted to steal code from us to put into Fossil in order to make Dragonbones work. How do I know he's at least attempted to work on it? That's because since post #138 of his thread, he stated he'd take a look. Now, this post was made in May. The shitshow happened in August. I don't know if he was working on it for that long or if at all, there is at least some semblance of a potential attempt or else he would not be going about deobfuscating code willy-nilly. I also have my doubts of him being an actual programmer, too, but who knows. So what can we take from this? He comes and posts this the following day: Is this guy for real? However, that's not all there is to the story. Part 2. ArroganceThe story with Restart doesn't end there. Shortly after his conversation with me that night, he decided to visit Driftwood Gaming's Discord server.
ThoughtsOn the topic of the cliff flower that he's so hung up about, it is still not the fault of the UI either. Collision mapping is a feature that just simply does not exist in RPG Maker. Would it be nice if such a feature existed? Definitely. But is the problem unsolvable to the point where it hinders everybody from making a game? No, it isn't. This is not to say that the problem should not be fixed. The cliff flower issue definitely needs to be looked upon. However, I am willing to bet with you the unobfuscated code for Dragonbones Union that when a solution comes out for the cliff flower it won't be collision mapping. That's because collision mapping is a band-aid solution to how the tilemap system should work in regards to decoration priority settings. Let's suppose even if Restart/Fossil is agreeable with, at the end of the day, suggestions are still subjective by nature. The things that he perceives that would be for the betterment of RPG Maker, no matter if he is a user, the creator, or a leech, still need to go through a process in it is decided. There is no objectivity in suggestions that are based off thoughts and feelings. I've made lots of what I believe were agreeable suggestions to the developers of RPG Maker MZ during beta. I gave them presentations, explained the pros and cons, and even gave a roadmap on how we can move the corescripts towards a specific direction. I was still denied. It doesn't mean my suggestions are right or wrong, but there's definitely got to be something I'm not seeing that those who are developing the software do. Because at the end of the day, my suggestions are still subjective by nature. So when you provide a "solution" to a "problem" that you believe is the best approach, it might not even be the case. The collision map doesn't solve the problem of the cliff flower. Fossil also argues about not needing to hug every wall in order to know if something cannot be passable against. I'm not sure if I agree with that. And I'm pretty sure most other game devs won't agree with that, too. Being overly critical with a rude and patronizing tone doesn't change that either. In fact, it'll harm your case even more even if it was a good suggestion. Also, remember what I said earlier about his comment about the pandemic wearing him down? He did nothing to listen and went to instigate problems with Drifty and Tea, who weren't in need of any. But that's not all! Part 3. RaidingYou ever get those moments where there's just no words for? This is one of those.
ThoughtsI'm unsure if Restart/Fossil has anything to do with Resi. However, it doesn't change the fact that Resi had still decided to use Restart/Fossil to get a jump on Drifty and Tea and stir trouble. This doesn't mean it's Restart or Fossil's fault. For all I know, he could be oblivious to the whole thing and that everything that transpired in the past few days was due to him having a bad day. However, my stance on the whole thing is, if someone IS having a bad day, don't get others involved. This isn't because he's a competitor for VisuStella or anything. This is about his entire approach to each of the topics involving Drifty, Tea, and I. So much unnecessary drama, rudeness, and patronizing happened and all it did was waste everybody's time. End of FileUnless more people start problems, this will be the end of it. |
