So before judging this please realize that I'm just an average gamer who doesn't really know anything about scripts or photoshop or adobe flash.
So over the coarse of the last three months I have been trying to figure out how maple story works, heres one of the things I figured out and thought was amazing.When your an average player you play Maplestory and don't really wonder how it's animation works because you just assume its like other games and uses flash animations and other things like that. It all flows and runs just like any other flash game or mmo. You start to hate the creators and employees because you think it should be easy to update the game and fix bugs and that they're professionals and you think Maplestory is like any other video game. You get mad at the amount of glitches you find and start to complain and hate them. This all happens until you go under the hood of Maplestory. So the first thing I realized by looking at other websites about this stuff is that, seems like theres a lot of scripting. Oh Boy was I right! I later realized that it's almost all fucking scripting! Basically though the way it works is they make a huge huge huge fucking script that runs the game. then they make all the images and art work and add scrips to them that tells them where to be and what to do. Over the coarse of thousands of images and probably deadly amounts of scripts you start to get a game. Now they have to make a way for someone to access the game. Even more fucking scripts. Then they decided to pack the files so no one could change them or hack them and of coarse, the magic words, More really Fucking Complex scripts. With all these scripts its no wonder theres glitches! You have miles and miles of scripts that interact with each other and most glitches don't happen from just one script. they happen from different scripts interacting with each other wrongly. Now if you Imagen the situation its a FUCKING miracle they even find whats causing it! Its even another miracle they figure out how to fix it! As for new content, first they got to come up with it, then they got to make the art, then the scripts, and the stories, then they got to unpack the files and some how make another FUCKING script that patches the game for all the players. But heres where the magic of this all is. Maplestory appears to have animations that don't use flash. I know your thinking "Oh HTML5 BIG DEAL! YOUR LATE THIS IS STUPID AnD POINTLESS!" Maplestory came out what 10 years ago? thats before the idea of HTM 5 could have even been dreamed of? And yet somehow Maplestory has been doing it all this time? correct me if i'm wrong about any of this. Also this brings up another point. Games these days have such bigger expectation then games 10 years ago and the fact that they're in my opinion living to it on 10 year old software is amazing.
Come on guys, Give nexon some credit!
