Why can Japanese people make so many awesome and cool games.... While we're stuck with some good and then some noobs.
You seem to be horribly misinformed. Most of the Japanese games are meh too.
But the best Japanese games beat the best American games.
True story.
Japan has had smilebasic much longer though.

Dasssss ollld newwwwssssss

Here's another one: Konimiru's The 4th!I think I'm not sure... Retro shmup!Looks like MSX. Maybe I dun know... Title screen: In-Game: Public Key: NR3EEXP3 Video: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27834409 It's not on YouTube, so deal with the fact that you don't have a NicoNico account. Maybe you do I don't know.

I'm reading "Heavy Fog the Fourth"

Yes, Heavy Fog 4, name of that spaceship ร  la Apollo 13. And it reads ลŒgiri yon gล in Japanese, punning on the 4th Ogiri contest.

OMG This text block. Also, maybe Japanese people have a systematic way of coding, and know exactly what they're gonna code and what commands they need to do so, so they're games end of better.

Or maybe the things you end up seeing have been filtered. These are the good ones. Many, if not almost all, have been made by adults. The same unproductive nagging younger community exists in Japan too, you just don't see it because you don't pay attention to Japan's communities. This stupid ethnicist crap is getting on my nerves.

I pay attention to the Japanese petitcom community... I see a lot of people making Mario Maker. I didn't know adults made it though....

While I agree ethnicity has nothing to do with this (those who say Japanese people automatically make great games are just joking), I do want to point out they have better resources. Official Guidebooks are readily available at their bookstores, libraries, and convenience stores (7-11 etc). We on the other hand only have online, mostly user-generated learning materials. To be honest, I think I will become a better SmileBasic programmer if I can get hold of those official guides and even just emulate their examples. I'm also a paperback person, which means I will choose paperback books over Kindle or PDFs any day.

I think it mostly boils down to there being more Japanese people who have SmileBASIC, and by extension, there are more very good Japanese SB game devs than there are very good American SB game devs. Take Petit Computer (DSiWare) for example - there were a whole bunch of Japanese games, some of which were really impressive, but not really much noteworthy coming out from elsewhere - there was a basic Flappy Bird clone, and there was the EPIC Mega Man 2 port, and maybe a handful of other noteworthy complete games, but many projects were either left incomplete (e.g. Pokemon gen 3 port) or just failed to grab attention. Had there been more PTC owners worldwide, there almost surely would have been a few extra AWESOME game devs who'd make epic games. [/3AM non-logic]

I'm reading "Heavy Fog the Fourth"
I removed Heavy Fog because it didn't make any sense. There's no fog anywhere.

more Japanese people who have SmileBASIC
This. I don't remember where I put the statistics but Smilebasic is super tiny here and much larger in Japan. (And then the other sane factors people suggested) This was never the right thread for this though lol.

Pssh it's a game title you shouldn't care if it makes sense. Also see LohadL's comment.

Okay, I'll edit it.

Of course it's important to get people's titles and names right. Would it be OK if I mistyped your name as ThatStupidGay? There's no sun god in Apollo 13, but it's the name of the spacecraft so let's deal with it. And so is Ogiri (Heavy Fog).

There you go.

Someone wants the code for the splatoon game: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHk7Mo-rXg It used to be on this thread, but it's not here anymore.

These two are quite text-heavy, so you might have some difficulty trying to play them... Majinomori Author: SPiNE Information (Japanese) Public Key: 73D443Q4
