Squinky

Just wondering where everybody was at with all their projects....And how you feel about them.

Trapezoid

Well, I can't seem to get past the story and puzzles on any of my games. I sat around with Suspico for a while, then I got tired of it and made a story for a new game. Then I had yet another story idea, and I worked on that for a little while. Now I'm thinking of just going back to Suspico, since I have most of the story and a few puzzles already written.

Privateer Puddin'

Well, im working on a Pirate game, which i have planned the story and integrated the puzzles. Work has begun on art and trying to settle to a style which i can stick to throughout.

I'm also doing background art for a Police Quest fan game, which has stopped developement for a while, while my friend (his game) is on holiday.

Team Competition game, Spring Fever is slowly.. doing nothing.

and Blurred Line, if any one even knows what it is, has been put on hold.

Projects? Huh?

I haven't worked on anything for about a month. I think it's partially a lack of motivation and partially hitting a brick wall in the plot/puzzle/characters department.. I guess I could take a break from the forum, but I really don't spend that much time here.

I'm not unproductive, I'm just lazy.

Archangel (aka SoupDragon)

Since the inspiration behind Path of Crystal hit me, I've never looked back, which I find extremely odd since it's no better than a lot of other ideas I've had but lost interest in.

Matt Brown

well, I hit a wall too. I lost a lot of time waiting for team members to get back into the country...but now, for some reason, that school has started again, ive felt more creative. I hope to get more TGC goodness out to you all....

but I guess ive been busy tweaking with bob's quest for a while. I dont think ill ever finish...I'll always be making a new version. this one has good graphics though...

Dave Gilbert

Blame summer.  I've had no motivation at ALL.  But with the cold weather approaching I've been thinking about dusting off my code and continuing.  My problem is that my plot is a bit too complicated.  I have an elaborate backstory worked out and I'm having trouble fitting it within the game itself.  I've been trying to streamline it.

I played Grundy's "Granny Zombiekiller" side-quest demo and I like the idea. I might do something like that.

Captain Mostly

Well Squinks, I'm just about to get round to hounding you to agree to work with me on a serious and awe-inspiring new game. I just have to see what happens about the number-of-object-in-a-room issue to check how horribly hard the thing is going to be to make.

You'd say yeah though wouldn't you? It's only going to be a HEAP of work! And it might even come at a more reasonable pace than the VPXT2 stuff did!!!

Paranoia

my main project, keeps changing! i'm on with the intro with animation, i'm trying to get my head round poser, and lose my temper with it everytime! i'm trying to make the shooter scenes, but i'm realizing my limitations now.i have got my main character done for the sept MAGS game using  poser ;D
my MAGS is three rooms up to now, well it would of been 3 if our stupid dog hadn't shut the pc down with her fat ass! (tower sits on the floor :-\) that will teach me to save more often!

Eggie

Well, I had a (very) small selection of character graphics for Minion but I recently deleted them. I've also decided to scrap my original game design for the setting and work with a less ambitious plot.
So...0% then...

Oh yeah, and over the last few days I scripted an interactive intro for a potential RON game. I mostly did it for laughs but there's a good chance I may follow it up.

Minimi

Well, my projects aren't also as they should be here is a list of the games (its abit too long list i guess) I'm working on, and their state

Sam&Moos and the treisure of grandpa - 65% - lack of inspiration, but I hope to finish it this month :)

Undeniable - Still at the beginnning. I just decided to not make any commercial game, but to make it freeware, because paying for games sucks, so that means the game doesnt have to be THAT long, though I'm still working hard on the plot. A demo should be available within 2 months

Phonebooth - I haven't told you much about it for a long time, though im still working on it, and all that is left, is alot of dialogs, wich needs lots of creativity and TIME!

Puddy Penguin and the Yeti - My newest project for the MAGS of this month, so it will be finished this month! so I will also probably be the first game I'm finishing, and I'm happy with the look of the penguin! ;)

Trapped in the past - I just finished the story and plot of the game, and also some concept art of the maincharacter, though I'm still very much thinking about wich style im going to use for this game. This game will take lots of time to make, and will be pretty long, and in the style of Jack Orlando.

As you can see... IM BUSY!! ;D

Heh, still *starting* art for RE's game. I should really start to hammer those out.

Ben: PIIIIIIINNNNNNBBBAAAAALLLLL!!1 :p

Adamski

Currently in the process of tweaking the plot and puzzles for both TJH Part 2 and Byzantine, and throwing some art ideas back and forth with the respective artists for each project. Both Scotch and Pessi seem to have disappeared though, which is slightly worrying.

No progress there either  :(. That's mostly a matter of learning how to use Game Maker, and figuring out how to do the physics (which is really just simple algebra, but there's a lot of it). I'm procrastinating because the first part is the least fun  :P

You know I am plenty willing to help with anything... :)

remixor

I am currently at zero percent on my Mr. Carlson project, which was lost (along with everything else on my harddrive) when one of the mounts broke in my laptop and my hard drive was rendered completely unusable.  Since it was a physical problem (not corrupt files or anything), it would have cost me several hundreds of dollars  to recover the data, which is financially unfeasable for me.

Basically, I got nuthin'.  >:(  I need to build up the motivation to start a new project all over, but it's most likely not going to be the same concept; it would be too frustrating to do all the same stuff all over again.

I'm in Caracas with my game, he's spending a good time here :).

(Very Bad joke)

I recently returned to my project, which I started in january this year because of a major strike here that had all us sitting in our houses watching the roof with nothing to do. It's about 70% done, with some minor animations I have to do, a room I have to fill with text, the code part, and some pictures for the intro. :P

and Blurred Line, if any one even knows what it is, has been put on hold.

Wait, you're not talking about A Blurred Line the rpg, are you? I've just been playing that, due to someone here mentioning it. It's like the best RM2K evar ... don't tell me you're the author.

I've been fairly busy now that school has started up, but my work on Ace Quest 2 has not diminished, whenever I get a free hour or more in a day, I dedicate it to the game. Sometimes I don't get time, so the work is slow. But it's something, and I'm confident I'll finish working on the game. When will it finally be complete? I don't know. It'll probably go quickly once I get past the begining, mainly because I'm trying build the characters a bit, and it takes some work. I'm also trying to add animations and sound effects where needed. It won't be professional quality, by any means, but I think it'll be decent game when I'm through with it. Estimated percentage of completion: 10%. That doesn't sound like a lot, but considering I restarted the whole thing two or three months back, it does bode well for the game. And like I said, progress should move quickly once I get past the begining.
