Yes, folks, I'm back. Once again. Hopefully, for good this time.
First off, yes, I am still planning on working on By the Sword and its two prequels.
Basically what happened is my wife and I separated. In the beginning, I took it really hard and could barely function in regards to work, let alone AGS-related stuff. All production on my game ground to a halt, and I had to deal with a lot of things. We're going to get a divorce. At first, the reason was that we were just fighting way too damn much, and for the kids' sake, we were all better off if we split... then, I found out that she was cheating on me with a coworker of hers. A coworker that she had already "jokingly" called cute when she first started training there.
I'm going to skip all of the bullshit, mind games, and lies that ensued... suffice it to say that I also found out that a LOT of what she had told me over the years were all lies, and she did a lot of things behind my back, including send naked pictures of herself to an ex of hers... an ex that she had claimed all these years to have never done anything with.
She lied about having been raped at the age of 14 by her mother's boyfriend (at the time). She was telling the truth about being forced into getting an abortion by her grandparents... but only because she got pregnant from the same boyfriend as above.
Soooo many other lies and deceptions popped up, but there are too many to even remember right now.
Anyway, I've over all of it and ready to move on. To get myself back into the AGS groove, and re-acquaint myself with the program, I'm going to be making a simple little Uno clone (called "Ohno"). I don't care if it's been done before, I'm doing it and there's nothing any of you can do to stop me!
So yeah. I'm back for like the 148th time.
That's insane man.
The ex-wife you describe here sounds exactly like an insane ex-gf of mine. Glad to know you are giving her the ol' kick between the legs and going your own way. You don't need that shit.
Good to see you back though. :P

Heh, seems like a worrying number of people have the old "insane ex" thing in their pasts ;)
Good luck for the future.
Welcome back Terran and good luck for the future!
I'm glad you returned home to your real family, Terran.
We won't cheat on you.
Fancy lying about being raped. That kind of shit can ruin a man's life. That bint aint worth it, mate. :)
That sounds..whatever.. Glad you're back. You should make a logo like:
Terran Rich - Back For the 148th..
If you're not actually divorced yet, it may be prudent not to post allegations on the internet just in case some lawyer finds out and uses it against you...
Best luck in this new era, Terran... :)
Will you whoop me?
Alright, time to reset the sign...
IT HAS BEEN 0000 DAYS SINCE AN AGSER OF OLD RETURNED
We probably need two stickies:
"That's it. I quit." thread
and
"Guess who's back!" thread
Anyway, welcome back, Terran and forget about her.
World is full of treacherous, vile women, but there's also many better ones.
And your painful experience can help you now to find those who are better.
Hey, Terran, sorry for all the bullshit you went and are still going through, man.
Good to see you back in any case.
BACK FOE ATTACK!!1
At this rate, man, I'll finish Leitor's Edge before you finish BTS!
Or at least FoY ;)
Alright, fine, I won't count my shillings yet.

She isn't identified by name so it's hardly identifiable.

Why did we even put four digits on that sign in the first place?
And Terran, what's happening with the kid? I hope that your first thoughts are about the kid's well-being and care.
I can attest that Terran takes great care of his kids.
Why, are you one of them?
Yep. He conceived me when he was 4.
That explains a lot, really.
My first priority is always the children. Sometimes I think I care more about them than she does... but whatever.
And a friend of mine mentioned recently that anything I say online can (and most likely will) be used against me. But we aren't involving lawyers (neither of us can afford them) and are going for a no-fault divorce (mutual in the eyes of the court) and equal shared custody of the children, if at all possible.
I wish you the best to come in the future.

We probably need two stickies:
If we had stickies for
everything... then eventually we'd want some kind of greater and greater subdivision within the threads... and then, through the process of digital evolution, those sticky threads would mutate into boards full of new little baby threads, and that's how forums reproduce.
I need my own stickies, because I'm that awesome. Seriously you guys.
Hey man this is really hard stuff! Most women just suck, sorry to all woman if I offended them, but I had my 2 cents of the female experiences...
How old are your kids, pretty young I guess, I hope that they will find a warm home, and that you will find your focus in life again! All the best from me to you!
btw... i'm also back for the 147th time ;)
I think you in the States, so not sure what's going there regarding kids and divorced FATHERS, but in the UK, and Greece things are rather problematic to that end: Fathers get neil and they don't get to live with their kids. :( If this does apply to the states, take good care and find a way to keep in touch with your kid. And make sure your KID is the centre of the attention and nothing more: Cheating, bullshiting, etc, is not worth it, it's all a matter of selfishness.
Either way, since you're heading for a divorce it does mean that afterwards you'll get your peace and quiet and maybe relax and start your life again. :)
Also, I'm sorry to post this, but a painful reminder for the future: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=28323.0
Either way: best of luck!
I think that you need to view this (http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=AodciConUGQ), Terran.
Or to quote Mr Bill Bailey himself: "It encompasses all aspects of love: Betrayal, hatred and depression."
Always worked for me when I've felt a bit bitter about females.
Hope everything works out, anyhow!

I'm tempted to make some sort of sexist joke about how most women just suck, but seriously, if this is your conviction you need to start with changing yourself.
Or at least have some manners in a public forum.
Firstly Id like to say I am sorry, and again happy that you are back on your feet!
I hope all goes well for you, and that your kid also will do fine!

I am amazed that so much bad things can lead to something so good!
I am not gonna stop you at all, infact I will encourage you to make it!
Id love to see a UNO clone and I dont think its ever done (at least not in AGS).
As far as the Uno clone goes, things are going pretty good. I like to jot down code on a notebook, and most of the code is finished. The graphics are all set and added to AGS.
