Introduction
RetroX is a user on MFGG formerly known as Yoshi_d3d and MarioGames (not to be confused with Mario Gamer). While RetroX is currently an average user on MFGG, he feels that his older work should not be kept due to his awful past. Though some may not know him as well, he hopes he can contribute to the site and try and redeem himself, even though he really already has. Most of this idea has gone away
Overview
Originally, RetroX (being very young at the time) joined a few Game Maker websites under the alias "alexc4242," which was later changed to "Game Pwner" (because he thought it was cool at the time, while everyone else thought differently). He began to get flamed, and spammed everyone else (which was a dumb thing to do, because he was banned shortly after).
However, after that, he registered on MFGG as MarioGames. He spent a lot of time on it, and was amazed at how big the community was. After spending time learning how to make 3D games in Game Maker, he changed his name to Yoshi_d3d. He spent lots of time with this name, and a bulk of his time on MFGG.
He joined more fan sites like this, but things weren't so hot there either. Soon after, he decided that he needed a new username. He changed it to Dimensional on other sites for a week, but then decided to stick with Retro. He changed his name to Retro on MFGG, too, and liked it.
Eventually, he decided to retry on the other sites and begged the staff to let him back on. He was given a second chance, but unfortunately at that time someone else was causing a catastrophe on the website. As ClassixArcade on the site, he revealed himself as RetroX, and now is still an average member today.
On MFGG, he is known as RetroXYZ. After the recent hacking of M:FM, he was known as RetroX. RetroX is Retro's official name now. (he would change it on MFGG but he has used up all of his name changes)
Present
Currently, RetroX is a member of Metroid: Fan Mission. This is where he spends most of his time online when he can, although recent inactivity has him spending more time developing his website, Resource Universe. He is also a co-webmaster at Mega Man Fangame Network (under the alias Bitman-EXE), run by Nad, himself, and Searchman-EXE (Nad's friend). He is also an active member of MFGG.
Character
RetroX's character is represented by a green and black humanoid figure. In other words, a pixel person. RetroX has created some newer digital references due to people assuming his character to be an earth/rock person from a sketch he had drawn. The "pixels" that make up RetroX's character are sometimes shown as rounded rectangles in larger images.
RetroX's character was originally a black stick figure with white eyes and a white mouth and no connections to limbs. However, this reference was abandoned simply because it was "just another stick figure".
Website
Currently, RetroX is working on a Website named Resource Universe. The website is Administrated by Nad, Taiki, and Kuroshi (Taiki's Friend). The website is being completely coded by scratch in PHP by RetroX. He hopes to have it done within a few centuries.
Other Notes
- RetroX is also usually associated with users such as Taiki, Nad, and Yoshbert.
- RetroX has also begun working on a generic platformer engine which includes (or will include) elements from various platformer games (like Mario). Forum topic is here: http://mfgg.taloncrossing.com/index.php?showtopic=246966
