Bonjour. I'm captaincabinets, or Raphael, or Raphael-you-know-like-the-ninja-turtle if I'm at a party with loud music and confused looks. By day I work on my tan by basking in my apparently bright future as something or other, and some nights I pay the bills and save up for Tim Tams by taking yoghurt out of cardboard boxes and putting them on a shelf. I harbour secret ambitions to do pretty much everything in the world, but have such a bad short term memory that I forget about my ideas ten minutes after they come to me.

Like kirkjerk, I came to this site with the Meltdown. I probably would have never joined in, but fate and my wonderful uncle had already gifted me Klik & Play when I was nine or ten, and I couldn't resist dusting it off. It turns out it's like event-editing a bicycle, and waaay more fun when you know what the hell is going on and you're not perpetually trying to make a sprawling, multi-genre Goldeneye videogame (unlicensed). Also, as a serial starter and serial incompletist of, well, everything, the concept of a two hour limit really appealed to me.

Now? I'm still here (or back), hooked on thinking up awful puns and looking at other people's brilliant imaginations. I liken Klik and Play to being the finest bucket my brain can vomit into.

I'm Qrleon, a hick from rural Canada. I came to GloriousTrainwrecks through a google search to ask a question about KNP's broken slider bars; stayed because the Pirate Kart and KotM games were pretty funny and the front page manifesto had some resonance with me.

Hey! It's Pizza Time! I am a ginger accessory that fights the Foot Clan. You can Google Street my pad but you won't see anything because I swear it is like the Black Hole of Calcutta in there. For reals.

I totally got KnP through the school book club back in, like, sixth grade and started making my dream game as soon as I got back from a school excursion. Sadly, I would only develop the skills to create my dream game this year when I did Skylathe. For some time I strayed from KnP but when The Games Factory came out I got right back into it. Then some stuff happened for years and I ended up here because I couldn't believe my luck that there would be a fly joint that is all about the Europress.

Just like cabinets I like Tim-Tams. I hope that the recent experiments conducted with the Large Hadron Collider can be applied to create a never-ending packet of Tim-Tams by using reverse black hole technology. Only the magical powers of science can make this a reality.

Hello, everyone. I just signed up for the forums. I haven't messed around with Klick and Play since I was a teenager.
Some of the projects that people put together with that software I have found pretty impressive. It has re-sparked my interest in creating a game of my own. I hope to participate in the KotMK one of these days.

Hey hi howdy ave,

I've just signed here after playing nearly all of the Pirate Kart games. Why I've signed here? Because I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE GODDAMN GAMES IN KNP OR GF. But I never had enough bravery or stupidity to do so. Now I have. 100 in 1 Pirate Kart raped my mind and soul, so I'm ready to participate in Glorious Trainwrecks rites.

God I'm so happy. No shit. Seriously.

Some serious bullshit now: I'm 20, I live In Poland, near Warsaw. Competely talentless game geek. Just so you know.

Now I go play some Max Payne, yeah. My first game you'll probably see on next Klik of The Month. I hope so.

Thanks for this site and all Trainwrecks. Long live the crap.

I guess I should introduce myself too, for those who don't know/recognize me. I learned about this site thanks to, probably, ApM, in the selectbutton forums, which is a place I don't frequent anymore because it's full of jerks, and I like to think that I'm on my way out of jerkdom. Oh, I'm usually known as Koji over there.

The first video game I ever made was a Klik of the Month, so this place will always hold a special place in my heart. Now I'm working on one big game project that will get me my bachelor in graphic design, and the occasional small game now and then.

And I think that's all. You may, I guess, stalk me further at www.agj.cl (.)

Oh yeah, and I'm from Chile. Right now the KOTMs are at 23 pm for me, I think.

Hello, I'm LocoRoo. I've made games with KNP since whenever. I have made such classics as "Mini Sonic", "Romuralli (Destruction Derby)", "Overkill", "Pikachu's Adventure" and the ever-so-classic "Metroid in KNP". I just don't have them anymore (damn system reinstalling).

I found this site by looking for KNP games. At first I thought everything was dead and that there won't be any more KotM's. Glad I was wrong.

My current projects are Eunuch: The Penis Cut-offening and Ismo Laitela Kick 'N Play.

hi, I finally made my way here after many of dessgeega's writings about it. I've never used anything like KNP, but the possibility of making a game for every track at cool-midi.com is far too tempting to just ignore.

Hello, I'm from Poland and in my mid-twenties. I have always dreamt of making my own games but it's hard with a patience level of a 5 year old and no programming skills whatsoever. Hence KNP was a perfect solution for me, and I don't mind the technical limitations, since I have always liked things a little bumpy and glitchy. I hope to partake in KotM in the future, when only somebody tells my how to use IRC.

ARRR! I'm usually Aklyon on the internet and i like random things.
I'd tried to make a game but got confused-ed at the programming part :(

oh, and I found here from playthisthing's bushido edge review.

hi. i'm dustin from playthisthing. you guys are my heroes, so i guess this is like in comics where impressionable teens attempt to emulate their heroes by putting their underwear on the outside and punching jaywalkers in the face and stuff. at least i think it is. holy shit i just plotted out my first knp game.

Don't worry! If we actually were superheroes, you'd get some sort of stern talking-to and then you might end up getting really mad and becoming a supervillain or something, but since we're merely game designers you're welcome here. Can't wait to see what games you end up making!

I'm Foreman M. Vyers, and I'm 20 years old. Though I'm a writer first and foremost, I got my creative start with KNP back when I was like 11 or so. Since then, I've fostered a soft spot in my heart for the thing, cause it's just a joy to use.

I used to be a member of the Mario Fan Games Galaxy under the name of Fireball3k making trainwrecks in the forms of interactive graphical libraries. Well, I also produced a few original games that were really shit and uploaded them to my own website, but either way you look at it, most of my creations could hardly be considered games.

I found out about this site sometime in the latter half of 2009, where Googling KNP games brought me a link to the 100-in-1 Pirate Kart. Since I've long been a fan of this sort of game, I was instantly hooked, and I've been lurking the site sporadically since then. Well, up until now, I guess.

I am the one at jonbro.tk. I do some music stuff, some programming stuff, and so far have made nothing but horrible games.

I've submitted a few games here now and would like to be more of a part of the scene here, so I suppose I should make an introduction. Every time I get in the chat in time for a Trainwreck, I forget about the chat, I'm so feverishly working on my games. And then I made mine a day late yesterday. Whoops. But from what I've seen I love you guys and your community.

I'm maybe a filmmaker more than I am a game maker, but I've been making games since 1997. I was something of a fixture in the ZZT scene in the late nineties when I went by "Newt" and made games like Lemmings clone "Zem!" and SMB-wannabe "The Punctuation People." I started working with Game Maker again last year. Poudning out a game in two hours may be my favorite creative exercise.

From Idaho and Hawai'i. Currently living in Utah. College student.

I can't remember how I got here - it was one of those evenings of hopeless internet compulsion, and I wound up here. Someday I'll be saying that last sentence from a prison cell.

I do remember trying the Klik & Play demo years ago on a swanky 486. I vaguely remember making a platform shooter which I drew my own blood 'n' guts for, 'cause everyone you shot would EXPLOOOODE. I COULD hypothetically do BlitzBasic, if I could create executables (demo only, atm). : |

There's a good chance that my participation on this site is yet another phase in my entirely misguided life, but what the heck - I ain't doing anything else tomorrow night (Klik o' de Month #41). Woop woop!

I liked the Twister game, by the way.

Howdy! I'm Rynen10K. I'm a Game Art & Design dropout trying to figure out what the hell it is exactly that I do now. I sometimes do pixel art, but not so much anymore. I guess I do other stuff, too.

I found this site through AuntiePixelante's site about a year ago, but I didnt really understand or really look at what exactly Glorious Trainwrecks was all about. When I realized that it was a site dedicated to making awesomely terrible and terribly awesome KnP games, I had to join. Unfortunately, I signed up the day after the last KotM collab :( now I have to wait til the next one, I guess.

My younger brother and I used to make plenty of games with KnP years ago, mostly consisting of megaman sprites, default backgrounds, and pretty much impossible level designs littered with spikes on fire on pirate ships. I eventually moved on to TGF, then Game Maker, still using the event editor since I never bothered to learn GM's script.

I'm still hoping to get into game design in some way or another, but with no programming experience and no idea where to start or where it will go, maybe it's a lost cause. Either way, I'm hoping to participate in the next collaboration or two and see what happens :)

uh, I guess that's it.

I've been lurking for awhile, joined glorious trainwrecks to submit a game for the KotM but never got around to it!!

I've been klikking for several years, having found an advert for KNP when I found a huge garbage bag of games for Win 3.1 on the curb (that was a friggin goldmine!!). It piqued my interest, since I was still coding in QB at the time. I figured that this would be easier.

I ordered KNP used online for $10 (with the manual baby!), then sucked it up and paid $40 for the Games Factory--only for it to get abandoned for Games Factory 2! Grr!! But that's OK, I got the PRO license, baby, all set to sell my games whenever I finish them... which has been years! I guess I'll sit down today and finish something, right?!

Hey all, I was a participant for quite a while over at a few other sites, particularly gamer's quarter, but I dropped out years ago to learn how to make games. Not long ago I saw a mention of this place and the Pirate Kart 2012 and I figured it would be a good time to come hang out and make some shitty games. Which should be fun since most of the time I've been concentrating on making games that I try to make, well... good.

It's nice to see that there are a bunch of gamer's quarter alums around too.

Ah,Greetings,everyone.
My name is Matthew O'Connor.
I come from New York (State,not the city.).
I got here from the MFGG Wiki's Waligie page. Yeah...I know,kind of a weird way of getting here,but oh well.

I'm really chatty,and I love intentionally bad things (Which explains why I got here from the Waligie.)
I really like Video Games,and I enjoy making them with KNP and TGF2 (Even though I haven't bought it,I'm still using the trial,so I can't make EXEs,so I might want to buy it because I make some crazy s**t with it.) Also I used to use Game Maker 8,but I found TGF2/KNP to be easier to use than GM8.

I made an account for this site because of the 2012 Pirate Kart V,But then I found the community here to be really nice,so I decided to stay here and not just make like 2 games and forget all about this until the Kart was released.

I never got to use KNP in my school because the people at my school seem to like to push out every boring app they can rather than give us something fun to do other than playing Bloons Tower Defence 24/7. (I still can't believe people at my school play that game,it's stupid.)

Yes,that's how bored we get. Playing some kid's game rather than doing something fun like using KNP or TGF2. :/

Anyways,I'm glad to be here and I really guarantee I'll stay here for a while.

So so so much of my time in the past was spent tooling around with a copy of The Games Factory (that I no longer have unfortunately) just creating horrible random stuff that went nowhere. I found out about this site from someone posting a game from here and I pretty much downloaded Gamemaker and started making (after not touching game creation toolsets for years) as soon as I got here since it seemed like my kinda thing

Hello!

I'm Bread (or Brendan Kearon, or Techyworm,) a British sixth form student who read Rise of the Videogame Zinsters and decided give all this business a shot. I also play a lot of indie games, or I try to. My objective here is to try and get a start in making real-life-honest-to-god video games, which has always been sort of like a dream for me except I never seriously thought I could, as well as using this site to open up a whole new selection of low-exposure games that I'll be able to play and experience.

Operator evolved. Post abandoned.

I found this site through Terry's blog, when I saw a game with KNP clip art posted.

I was stunned to see that someone had preserved my old Geocities page (http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/mirrors/www.geocities.com/dogrobot/knp.html), as I thought it was lost forever when the laptop I backed it up on suffered a virus.

So I thought I'd sign up, dust off the KNP CD, and make a few games. Would like to see if I could rescue some of my older games off of my older computers/floppies before they're lost forever, but I'm still kind of lazy.

This is awesome, and i have Multimedia Fusion 2.

This site was going to bring back memories of Clickteam's first game creation tool named Klik n Play.

And i really all know the history: Klik n Play --> Click and Create ---> Multimedia Fusion Express --> The Games Factory --> Multimedia Fusion ---> Multimedia Fusion 2 and The Games Factory 2

Clickteam is the most better than YoyoGames.

Game Maker requires some skills to program in Drag and Drop, and even scripting!
Multimedia Fusion 2 is all just in NO PROGRAMMING!

This is kind of weird. I think the first time I thought about making games was back when I was 12 and I discovered rm2k and played a bunch of those b/c they were free and had a bunch of fantasies about going to digipen and making drawn to life or portal or something. After not finishing any projects ever fast forward 11 years of INTENSE CHARACTER BUILDING LIFE EXPERIENCE And I've actually finished a few things. Anyway Dessgeega mentioned this place a few times (once or twice) and I decided instead of being a weird lurker I should try actually doing this.

Unfortunately I have no time ever so I haven't gotten to it yet. Too busy microwaving burritos and watching superhero movies on netflix.

I live in New Orleans. I am hard of hearing. I only eat chili.

Hello,

I'm XenosNS, a computer guy (or "systems analyst" as my pay cheque claims) from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Been a video game hobbyist since back in the Tandy TRS-80 days.

Always wanted to work in video game production, even went so far as to go to a course at the New Brunswick Community College back in 1997. That only lasted 2-3 months when I discovered the course was a mess (I knew more about C programming then the instructor who was reading from the text book on the first day). Plus, they changed the course description after the first month into "edutainment". Glad I got out of there when I did.

Recently picked up Anthropy's book "Rise of the Videogame Zinsters" back in January and was inspired to try out GameMaker. Came up with the idea for my game "Sinkhole" while finishing the book on a Solaris OS training trip in Ottawa back in February. Also discovered this site through her twitter feed.

Other than that, I live in a nice house in Halifax with a great guy and a lovely cat that would kill anything non human given the chance.

Excited to be here :-)

Well, since I'm new here. I found it from a buddy back in my other community, he posted Waligie Fort here too. And yes, I can make games using my psychic power.

I found the site while searching for Twine stuff. I came for the macros, I'm staying for the Aluminum Alloy Die Casting Office Chairs.
Extraordinary place here.
I'm mostly a slacker, but if I have spare time I do art, and try to wreck trains of my own.
I don't really have Stuff on the web anywhere, so I've posted an ink drawing for yas.

*wave*

I'm new here! I'll be posting some "Interaction Poems" here soon, which are weird experimental conceptual things that might not be all that great. I found this site through people like Porpentine, thecatamites, et al who are associated with this website! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. Hello!

Hey all! And hey myself. After spending my entire adolescent youth plinkning around in the Zzt community back in the day I've always wanted to take stab at making games people might actually want to play. My good friend WiL posted his progress on an indie game which he scored called "Snapshot" and another intriguing post about this website and it made me intrigued. After perusing this community for a bit I decided to join and downloaded Klick and Play. It obviously has infinitely more features than Zzt (though I did enjoy overreaching the limitations of the masterpiece) and I found myself enamoured with it. After writing "Tanks" and downloading the demo of MMF2 and looking at some other indie gaming groups I decided to stick around. I admit I've never quite fit the mold of "Trainwreckers" or of the earlier Zzt'ers, but have found it inviting and nostalgic.
It must be obvious now that I like to create functional and playable games while I enjoy the zany moments in your games as well as the sometimes powerful execution and strong programming. Let me know if you are intereseted in a collaboration as one of my goals is to make a successful android/flash game.

Thanks guys!
Lynx

Hi hey hello.
You all seem like a cool bunch. My name's dylanaholcomb aka brideobrames aka uncleclouse aka no00dylan. I've been doing stuff in games unprofessionally for a good while now, and I plan to continue to do things unprofessionally. I also want to make making games my living someday because I'm honestly not fit to do anything else, anything most people consider a "real job". I love working on my own, and in small dedicated teams. I've made some maps for Left 4 Dead 2, and Portal 2 (http://steamcommunity.com/id/DylanAHolcomb/) I've also made 3D Models on commission for Mist of Stagnation, a game coming out from Osiris Studios. Here lately I've been making my own games over on gamejolt: http://gamejolt.com/profile/dylan-a-holcomb/79792/ In the process of making these two silly games, trainwrecks, I've learned that it's what really fulfills me. I also love making music. https://soundcloud.com/dylanaholcomb

Basically I love creating, and love sharing creations with others. I love glitchy games with kick-ass soundtracks like stuff from Arcane Kids and Porpentine. They're kinda my game-making idols. I also love big games like Saints Row IV and Portal 2, Tell Tale's the Walking Dead, pretty much anything that either puts focus on characters or comedy.
Just now realizing that I can write way more about my love for games than I can about myself on Okcupid.

Hello.

Hi there i am NES4ever, I just joined Glorious Trainwrecks and well, i love games, and that's it i think.

hi im marie and i found this site where mr thecatamites made 50 short games. my first game making experience was adventure game studio working on a failed project called stellar therapy. i would then move on to make henk bei ottos haus- a german game for school. after a few years of no games at all i would finally catch the hang of unity and have been making some small games.

Hello, I am a person who does things and likes stuff. I found out about this site because return of the assholians of planet ass was featured on warp door and it linked to this site. If I was a porcupine, I would be a very friendly porcupine.

Hello all! I'm Nathaniel Nelson. I make games, program other stuff, and go to school. I'm logging my current long-term project on TIGSource and that's been pretty cool. I'm becoming more involved in online communities lately and it makes me happy to meet new people/find new games/make connections! I like making games that are a little bit unconventional.

I found this site while reading this article by Anna Anthropy and it got me really excited about rapid game development! I'm super excited to dabble in some of the less hardcore engines once I'm done with my current big project. I want to make some Twine games, and learn PuzzleScript, and just experiment for a month or two when I have the time again.

Right now I'm addicted to Spelunky and One Finger Death Punch.

I think I found this site thanks to thecatamites' Lump Max or Great! Mouse Friends, which in turn I've found on http://www.freeindiegam.es/. I decided this is a good place to share my game. I have already made one game which is glorious, but I'm not sure if it's wrecked enough. Though farting is an essential game mechanic there, so maybe it would fit the site's theme well? Anyway, I have submitted the other game which I made yesterday, this is the shortest time of making a complete game for me I think. Maybe I'll make more games, with varying levels of wreckiness. I hope you all appreciate my artistic qualities.

Hi All,

I was at a loose end last night so thought I would delve into my past or at least find out if there were any traces of it left on the internet, anyway this is when I stumbled upon this site. If you haven't guessed the "driver" (Irony of trainwreck) is that I used to work for a company called Europress and was the assistant project manager on Klik n Play. Part of my role was to produce some games for the launch so you may find that you have played some of the devils or "pie devils" on there. You may have even heard my ground breaking speech in some of the small games too. Anyway good to see you are still having fun with the product which is now over 20 years old and making me feel like an antique. If you would like to hear more from me and some interesting stories of how the product came to light and the challenges and the fun that surrounded my time working on this then I would be more than happy to divulge. Have fun and be well!

Here are some of the games I can remember working on:-
Romeo
Racing Line
Maniac Racers
erm..... still thinking, twas a long time ago.

Hello Im Diana. I have never actually made a game but I have played countless classics (Parappa The Rapper, Parappa The Rapper 2, Madden 06, a weird PS1 RPG where you had to do math to move, I think). Im in love with this doing it for the fun attitude and Ill make games. Probably terrible ones.

Hi there guys,
I've been lurking for about a while now, thought I should join finally and say hi. Found this forum by accident a while ago while searching for Klik and Play games.

This site is a breath of fresh air and I'm feeling inspired to create some games again.

hello everyone! i've known about this site for a year or so and been visiting it on and off every now and then, but i finally decided it was time to make an account! my own glorious trainwrecks are a little more on the trainwreck side rather than the glorious, so i most likely wont be posting many creations, but i'll definitely be playing a lot of yours!

hello, im a guy that got here from the revenge of the sunfish forum (http://sunfish.proboards.com/). always knew about this site, never really checked it though, very nice site!
i love to make games in game maker, i love the spirit of the classic "barely playable but made with love" games and i love kimberly kubus.
i make games whenever i feel like it, too see em, go to www.landsofgames.com .
hopefully i can post my stuff sure, im sure ya guys will like it!

hallo,

Hello,
I have recently moved to the United Kingdom from Australia. I have a working visa and am looking for
immediate employment as a kitchen porter. I have some experience working within the setting of an
industrial kitchen, and I recently completed a degree in Computer
Science. While this may not seem to carry over into kitchen porter work, I beleive it shows that
I am able to adapt to new tasks quickly, and complete them with dilligence.
If you are in need of a hard working kitchen porter then I hope that you will contact me.
Kind Regards,
Dany Burton

Hello and greetings you all~

I am not sure how or when I found this place, but it resonates a lot.

I have some experience making games stuff before, but not in this manner since Game Maker Studio came out. (I have older Game Maker source code still, but not a way to compile it.)

Am already making a silly little game. :3

just found this site via a "50 Short Games" bundle by Thecatamites of Harmony World over on itch.io
it makes my heart fill with warm liquid. i'm a happy mutant living in beautiful (ie. crusty) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. have been slacking off for the entirety of my twenties, just recently went back to college for game design. i will post some stuffs relatively soon.
pleased to make yr internet acquaintances.

Hello! I am a newcomer and hope to gain experience!
