Games Games Games!

Posted by RiverJordan - August 5th, 2010


Fuckin hate games, here's why.

You get an idea for a cool game, you do some art for it, it turns out pretty slick and then you do some more, and find coder.

Coder gets found, you guys tag-team the game for a week and then you get bored.

And then for the next 2 years you continually say "Oh yeaaah, i'm working on a game with this awesome coder" and then eventually it gets lost in the fabric of space and time.

For those participating in that Animator Trivia Challenge thing, I'm gonna update it soon..

Inception is sexy, and the new Futurama was awesome.


Comments

inception had alot of 3D inspired into it.
like the very technical basics of 3D itself which i loved.

also I R baboon

We R Munkies

gams

...

people suck

women swallow

I agree with all uve said. Except for when u do alot of art and coders disapear ^___^ I realyyyyyyy hate those ones. Like lochie. it kills motivation

Hah pwnt.

*shakes hand*

You're running out of questions. Good ones. This disappoints me.

OH, yeah i've started opening flash and making questions, im gonna start going through books again! Kk's!

Inception reminded me of 'the matrix'

A lil bit

That's why I try to get games done as fast as possible

But thats not good cuz then you're working with a half-assed game! I make games with my full ass

what is so odd from from this short pharagraph its so odd?

Hah, yeah it's a bit odd

whazza

nm, u?

Yeah man it's always hard to find a reliable programmer when you're just starting out. Took me 2 god damn years to finish and release penguinz. Once you find someone who you can work productivly with it's plain sailing!

Best advice I can give is don't give up on the projects you really want to make, and don't be afraid to find a new programmer if he's not pulling his weight!

Well, it doesn't really surprise. Of course, I have no idea what you're going through considering I'm not much of an artist and I don't do art for my own games or for other games. It seems to be a problem with most artists and animators here on newgrounds.

None-the-less, it's the whole experience of what you have to go through. Before you can go anywhere easy with what you have going on, you have to go through some hardships and a little bit of labor in order to make all of your dreams and ambitions possible. The worst part is that you're sometimes so addicted with getting a certain game done, thinking that it's going to be the most famous and awesome game on so-and-so.

......few months to years later, here you are with complete artwork, no coder for your fruitions to be made possible.

Yeah, I'm repeating pretty much what you said in a more lengthy and complicated term, but you get my point.

just caught a glimpse of what ur up to with the new exile in the animation forum - that looks amazing man! seriously!

Hey thanks man, appreciate it!

That has happened to the 2 games I have started coding with ppl.

First one was only because it was a Christmas game and we didn't have it done in time so we're gonna finish and submit it for this christmas and the other animator guy was too busy.

damn i missed the new futurama i was out all night D:
