Minus World
|
Minus World is an offshoot of the MFGG Forums created in November 2010 and run by Kyori and some other folks.
Forum Creation
The official reason for Minus World's creation was so MFGG's own forums could return to a game development-orientated focus, as the majority of the community was interested mostly in chatting and not so much in game dev.
Another primary reason was because Yoshiman noticed that said community had been falling apart due to rampant argument and trolling, so he directed Kyori to create Minus World for the less desirable members to post on instead. Many of these troublemakers have already gotten banned from MW, but the constant trolling these members have caused has contributed to a precipitous drop in activity compared to pre-split MFGG.
While Minus World was originally intended to have a greater focus on development of indie games, hardly anyone on MW actually makes games. Instead, MW's focus has been discussion of commercial video games and general off-topic conversation, along with an occasional piece of artwork. Kyori is still working on a mainsite for MW, although development has taken much longer than expected. This mainsite is essentially a replacement for the existing forum software with many new features, but it's unclear when it will ever be completed, and whether it will bring in new members.
