Introduction
RetroX is a user on MFGG formerly known as Yoshi_d3d and MarioGames (not to be confused with Mario Gamer). However, these aliases are long-forgotten, and he normally goes by Retro, RetroXYZ, or RetroX.
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" (when he was twelve). 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.
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 (this is also where he derives his name on sites like Youtube, ClassixRetroX).
On MFGG 2.0, he is known was RetroXYZ. After the recent hacking of M:FM, he was known as RetroX. On the new forums, he was finally able to change his name to RetroX.
Present
Despite Game Maker being a large part of his internet history, he now refuses to use it, and prefers to stick with C++ (no wonder that he never gets anything done). He has since become a moderator on Metroid: Fan Mission and also runs a Mega Man fan site called Mega Man Fan Factory. He was also one of the original five people who founded Forum32x.
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 grayscale sketch he had drawn (in which, the "pixels" looked more like coal due to the color). The "pixels" that make up RetroX's character are often stylised as cubes or rounded square-like shapes as opposed to simple squares.
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 generic reference".
Game Creation
Originally, RetroX was a large fan of Game Maker. However, he eventually was introduced to GNU/Linux through Ubuntu, and was unable to run Game Maker and the games made with it. Eventually, he started learning PHP, and began coding a website while still using Game Maker in Windows. After awhile, he learned C++, and then began using GNU/Linux a lot more often. He eventually dumped Game Maker, to the point where he now, for the most part, refuses to use it. He now uses GNU/Linux most of the time, except for when he wishes to play a game on Steam. He has attempted coding in SFML in C++, in hopes of making a game in C++, but he has been unsuccessful, so far (largely due to laziness, not inability to actually make a game).
