Will anyone remember the smaller developers?

[Mextur]

There are no devs on this forum except 2-3 people.

Maby private development like I do.

[iGalaxy]

@Mextur yeah I used to privately develop stuff.

It's just something that has grabbed my attention for pretty much the last months. There are thousands of devs on this forum. I'm pretty sure a smaller developer like me is going to be forgotten in what, ?2 months? by everyone I ever helped. Most people here don't even know me even though I've spent so many days working on projects for Habbo. It's really demotivating thinking about it this way..

Never stop.

If you don't want people to forget you, don't leave then. I would personally like it if you stayed, but that's just my opinion. Keep developing and making your developments better and people will not forget you. You will push yourself to being remembered here forever. I remember older developers, but they are forgotten by most because as soon as Sulake cracked the whip, they decided to pack their bags and move onto "better" things. If you need to move on, then move on, but don't complain how you've been forgotten afterwards. Especially, when there's always work that can be done. *coughs* BoostCMS VIP Shop *coughs*

Anyway, good luck with whatever you do.

Tbh I gotta say it was all Aarons and Roy's and sulakes fault for habbo and retros going down the drain. However I thank them as they made myself $1000+ back in the day when phoenix could run on a 512 MB vps that costed me 8 dollars from thrust. However it also tought me after why the fuck am I even owning a hotel after my profits went down. I eventually felt sorry for those who spent cash on it. Aaron made lots of people lazy. Perhaps me he made me lazy to the point I didn't wanna learn c# to fix my at the time great uber edit I put together from fixes from here as it always crashed after having loads on. Then it made me switch to Phoenix and learn HTML and CSS and little php.

If you made $1000+ off of a retro, you are just as much if not more to blame as Aaron, Roy, Sulake, and any other hotel. Owning a retro should not be for profit. It should be for fun, and if you make a little money while doing it, so be it.

The little developers will be remembered as the closing developers. Because, once they're gone, that'll be it to be honest. The dev in here is just slowing down very rapidly. I mean, there's still a bunch of people who post new things, but they're only little things.

On another note, as anyone else noticed the main stream of developers seem to be from the Netherlands? Think about it.. It's strange..

Must of the stuff is developed already. The stability is decent when compared with older emulators overall. I used to host a 'Bobba Server' based on USA111 back to 2008 which would freeze once it hit 120 users. The big hotels have their own developers. There is no much more left to do. Starting a new emulator from scratch is worthless, anybody got time for that. Keep updating what we got and somehow you will be remembered for that.

There are way more Spanish/ Brazilian developers and that makes sense.

Well, Netherlands has one of the best IT infrastructures of the world.

Also Dutch kids are really into gaming / computer stuff so they see things and think I want to do that too and then they just try and eventually develop themself to software developers

I think, not sure but yeah.

The way I read your thread is like you develop for the credit instead of developing for the fun and the learning experience. Why should you care if anyone still knows who you are? You should care about your projects, what you've learned out of them and how much fun they were for you! :) None of us will feel the joy you felt when you just fixed something that has been bothering you for a few days, none of us will feel the pride you felt when you've released something which the whole community needed, but those are the things that matter. Not whether we still know who you are or not!

Exactly, and if you do exactly that, you will be remembered as one of the best, but if you sit around waiting for someone to say good job, you won't.

[iGalaxy]

No I guess.

[NoOne96]

Who will even remember any retro developers when habbo dies? Well not me, i have a life :o

[Phosfor]

It's really demotivating thinking about it this way..

It's the same in the free world : will anyone remember all contributors ?
