I really appreciated that blog post with all the game interviews, and i definitely know the feeling of "FUCK THIS SHIT, i just want to make a new game"
Also, that is AWESOME that NTTE got on steam :)

If you want to be annoyed, the game Jeff and I have been working on not only has melee mixed with shooting but it also deals with the social drama of teenage girls! Although it's still years away and some of the school themes mixed with a shooting game might make it too taboo to even release, although it's nothing in the realm of Pico's School but DAMMIT.
Reading your posts always makes me feel like we're riding the same little zeitgeist wave though. I even have a game engine based around Twitter posting in an RPG format (Tweet RPG) but that was about political echo chambers and the march to war among a bunch of birds, not schoolgirls.
I started a game a while ago called "How To #SaveTheWorld" and you had to become an internet celebrity and use Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Digg and Tumblr to share campaigns like Stop Sopa and Kony 2012 and Occupy Wall Street.
A year would pass, and different trends would come in n out, and you had to solve all the world's problems by retweeting youtube videos before they get popular, and getting the top comment on things.
I didn't make it cos it kinda just felt like me being a snarky dick.
Oh hey I mentioned it here: http://i-smel.newgrounds.com/news /post/691972

...I don't know HOW the fuck your shooter thing has anything to do school kids.
well fuck those are some cool watches. Seriously. Complicated gear trains in general kick ass, but complicated gear trains that you can wear on your wrist take it up to eleven.
No they go up to twelve.
I really have to play this Walking Dead shit i hear so many people clamoring about.
Maybe they didnt do a story about your kickstarter because they figured you had no time to explain? hurrr im dumb and sleepy. BYE.
Haha, reading your blogs is always so angsty! Just relax and enjoy life for once! Making games is supposed to be the job everyone dreams about, right?
By the way, I can tell you from personal experience that making a large design document and sticking to it is just as bad idea as freeballing it completely. Actually, it's worse, so don't do it!
I-smel add a Newgrounds Scoreboard for your "Mighty Tower" game.
DUCK SIM 2013

Update: this teenage girl game might work if the interface was like a facebook status feed.
