Title: Question to Nifflas
Post by: LeNDex on March 16, 2009, 16:55:51
Dear, creator of Knytt.
Can you answer my question.
It's about Within a Deep Forest.
The Question is:
Is WaDF your favourite game?

If you asked a question "why?", I'll answer:
Spoiler: Contains spoilers (click to show/hide)
Second is Logos of your web-sites. Most of their Logos is a funny purple ball.

Third is smiles... Well, I think you understand. There's no object from other games!

That's all! Bye!

I cannot answer fully for Nifflas, but I can at least say that the smileys and logos on Niff-related pages haven't fully been Nifflas' personal choice. Some of them age back to when WadF was quite new, but time has gone on and things have changed since then.

Specifically the smilies, their look was pretty much decided on non-Niff quarters, mostly because it'd be the most recognisable colour/shape from Niffgames, not to mention the most suitable for smilies. :)
As not only WaDF has had purple balls, his two 'break-through' games (#modarchive story and #mas2:Operator Status) mainly featured Purple Ball as the protagonist.

Basically, just the first question is related to something with Niff's own decision on them. I'm sure he'll answer on that as soon as he can. :)

But more specifically on your question, I think I remember Nifflas once saying that Knytt was the game in which he put the most of his creativity. Not sure whether or not he said it was his favourite game, but that's what I think it sounded like... :P

Some people don't have any respect for what needs to go in a spoiler, unfortunately. Some people put to much in spoilers... I've seen some weird spoilers, including one that was just a bunch of laughing faces... it's to bad not to many people care about them...

I think that was probably because it's considered spaming to post a long line of smilies. I don't ever have a problem with people putting things in spoilers. You can never be too careful, and it saves loading time. I guess the point is, for Pete's sake, use spoiler tags!

Everything within spoiler tags is still loaded, so it doesn't save time at all. 9_9 Just space.

Oh, I figured that the reason people put images in spoilers was because of loading.

That's only to save space, keeping the posts more organizedand and not forcing people to scroll up/down like crazy.

(BTW, Dandelion, your post appears edited by me by mistake. I accidentaly clicked "modify" instead of "quote", at first. The content of the post is unchanged, though. My apologies.)

Actually, thats not true. It depends on your browser. I use opera, and it starts loading an image when I unvold the spoiler. The reason we use spoilers is valid though, to save space.
