Platform Builder: A basic level editor, or a professional game maker?

Ah, so, you mean that you finally believe that we are original PB players now? Hey, don't get me wrong. I go way back to 2.2 in PB. But I wasn't even around MB when PB started development. I first started using PB at version 2.2. I used it a little, but the physics were so bad, I couldn't stand it. I loved how you could customize a few things, use different abilities and such, but it wasn't till much later that year that I became a die-hard PB fan. I still am to this very day. Alley, I'm going to guess goes much further back. Right Alley?

Yeah, I believe that too. Of course, I didn't start IGP from a time on when the first version of PB came out already. But I saw one video about TingThing working with PB and I was waiting long before PB really came to us. There was a long silent period after that I saw a video about PB so it was possible that TingThing decided to cancel it, however, but I still expected it to come silently. Then it came and I wanted to start my main project but I had a lot of difficulties to make decisions so I started a new project several times until I finally decided to create no remake nor game with certain rules. I decided to start with IGP which is my own idea completely and which have any level that I have in my mind. It was long before big sprites for the bosses were possible. This was that time when I already tried to make my own bosses.

I have tried to make whatever I want with PB... I can say that I simply have had faith in PB considering TingThing's programming skills, persistence, and his personality also. There were some times when PB was really limited also for me but hey, it was just started and being a bit weak was absolutely normal.  I know how much time it takes everything to make for me so I just worked on things I could do in the same time when PB got stronger also which allowed me then to start much more complicated things. I for sure had faith in PB becoming much more advanced than most of fan game toolkits but it became even better than I could expect.

So, you are an original PB game user? That's cool. I knew you went way back, but I didn't think you went that far back.

[Alley]

I don't know if I can call myself original game user completely because my ideas have been inspired by the other games but yeah... I can call this game as my own completely considering it is not a remake from a certain game, it has all unique levels, it does not try to make graphics to be the same or similar with a certain game other than PB and it has a completely stand-alone storyline.

What I mean by original PB user, is that you are one of the first people to start to use PB, and continue using it to this day.
