Your "One of two things" covers every possible aspect of commenting. I'm trying to think of a way to get around it, but it's foolproof :C

FatKidWitAJetPak 2010-02-01 23:55:27

I know exactly what you mean... god dammit this flash project on my mac right now is fucking lagging like crazy. >:(

Beauboy234 2010-02-02 00:04:33

lol your guess at when you said you'd make it was 1996? You were like 4 back then!

coolit12 2010-02-02 00:07:35

DAMMIT IT IS FOOLPROOF

ummm okay figure out a resolution....

FINISH THIS GAME.... then.....

QUIT... for ...ummm.... SOME TIME... and....

DO REAL LIFE STUFF.... and come back 3 years later with news of succes (hopefully)

.....

dam we need more ppl living your life to understand this problem maybe get a placeholder job for the time being then think some more

Friends getting engaged at 18/19? Crazy. You can also get a normal job and not have to sacrifice this stuff at all. Just manage your time. As for your project, you can just forget about it (which it sounds like you can't), or just churn that shit out and be done with it.

Anyways, who gives a fuck what other people are doing or if they think you're an idiot or slacking behind? Fuck em.

i would go to school personally. you can teach yourself a lot when you have people to show off to and compete with

Perry 2010-02-02 01:07:37

your stuck in the game slump, you work on something for so long you get sick of it. Take a couple months off, come back and you will have a fresh perspective.

Magical-Zorse 2010-02-02 01:46:35

I used to get that feeling of "what the fuck am I doing making flash games for newgrounds? I should be doing something more cool!"
but I got over it

Regularjoe 2010-02-02 01:53:13

Dude, you have a brilliant sense of humor and great taste in game design.

You have got a lot of time ahead of you and a lot more marketable skills than the guys who spent their high school years on the sports team. Things will turn out all right in the end.

You can always go to school or go to work.

Skenvo 2010-02-02 02:12:37

I would like to see something of the game. Maybe some positive feedback from newgrounds would help

SnoMagick 2010-02-02 03:29:05

Why does it crash? Is it that epic? Also, maybe upgrade RAM or something so you can continue working on what hopefully will be awesome, given how long you've been working on it? Would you really drop 10 years of your life? I mean, it seems like it's nothing but problems now... but what will you feel like when you realize that you've wasted all that time for naught.

If you abandon it now, all that time you spent on the game is gone. You can't get it back. You can't go back in time to spend your time getting a job, a girlfriend, a family...but you can finish this. Or, you can put it on hold until you manage to get a better computer. Put it on hold for a while if possible. Is there a due date for this, since you said you sold it? Get a job, a girlfriend. Eventually, upgrade your computer and resume your work. That is, once your life has been sorted out and you feel comfortable with it.

Oh, and that lizard guy was awesome.

Also, if I've been trolled into posting a serious reply... Well, at least these 1,000 characters or so were counted by WhatPulse. And I got a post which somebody with ADHD would reply to with "tl;dr".

Enjoy your life, successful troll and/or annoyed flash game developer. Either way, you successfully passed ~10 minutes of my time.

TomaMoto 2010-02-02 03:43:43

Man, I never saw you as some dumb kid. I'm expecting great things from you, please don't let me down :( Keep doin what you're doing, the girls'll flock to ya, i promise! :O

Ani-x 2010-02-02 04:55:57

was three things.
Im just saying is all

Jimp 2010-02-02 06:05:00

Dont bother with Uni its a waste of time, youve already got the skills. Theyll just make you work twice as hard to get good grades for everyone else.

I see where youre coming from, spending so much time working on your own can be really really demoralizing. My advice would be to do some smaller collaborative projects after LoJ, I find its a lot easier to stay motivated when working in a team on a game.

SpamClamberton 2010-02-02 06:27:10

Is the game massive enough to sell to xbox live? Wait no, of course it would be. It has games like puzzle-quest which were probably made over a weekend.
Incidentally, I'm starting to make a game which will probably take me several years and I'm not skilled enough to do it. Reading this post was like a terrifying window into the future and now I'm scared.

SpamClamberton 2010-02-02 06:31:00

Actually now that I think of it, most of your stuff would be great for xbox live. Shit, I'd buy any of them. Bit late now seeing as they're on the internet for free, but... well yeah.

EggysGames 2010-02-02 07:18:06

Usually I don't reply to shit like this but,

I'm making a living making small/medium flash games. You mention that in your blog that you'll be stuck their, but that's untrue, you can keep making them practicing game design/art/programming till -

1. You make a full indie game that sells like Braid
2. Your website starts to make an income from ads e.g armorgames
3. You make an online game that requirs money that you can work on heaps like your above game except you release in patches.

Anyways this probably won't fucking do any fucking help or difference but hey...your blog was funny, so you get the pointers for that.

IN OTHER NEWS, HAVE SEX WITH MIDGETS AND YOULL BE LAUGHEN SO MUCH IT WILL EASE THE PAIN OF GAME MAKING.

- Eggys wonderful tips of the day.

TheBoogley 2010-02-02 09:05:02

in 1996 you were four years old

loluntilmypie 2010-02-02 11:58:17

"Helicopter lizard guy"...?

TomFulp 2010-02-02 14:13:30

I prefer posts like this to the majority of the waste-of-a-privilege-and-opportunity front page posts. This is the real shit people go through when trying to realize a grand vision. And you could be doing whatever most other people are doing but none of them will leave anything cool behind when they're gone.
