Easy for you to say, you get an episodic format!

You have, but these are a family forums so your series can't be posted here.

That would be telling.

Oh, you want to take a break for a game project. Why didn't you say so? I wholly approve. Get to work you dog.

How can you deprive these people of tales of my exploits!?

In the meantime, it looks like I'm just going to have to write about myself in the third person, brace yourselves!

Inspector Jatsie was busy working a case in vice. He strutted up and down the boardwalk in the guise of his cover, one Miss Shirley Van Cartier, a high class call girl from the East Side. In his six inch steel stilettos, he walked with a swish that caught the eye of every man in his vicinity...

More next time, in the exciting ongoing tale of: Inspector Jatsie, and the Case of the Fishnet Stockings!

Sir! Yes Sir!


Don't hold your breath, though. Besides, I'm using the Game Maker 6.0 engine. I have a feeling, a terrible conviction, that if an amatuer adventure game is to attain any fame or even a second glance, it must be in AGS, LASSIE or Wintermute. Regardless, I press on, to enjoy the work, not just the end result. And I'm having a desperate conflict with the walking animations, as they simply refuse to look as I want them to.

I think the issue is that if a game is to be completed it has to be written with one of those engines, beucase after spending a year re-inventing the wheel just to reach the starting point of a dedicated AG engine, most developers lose interest...

Another alternative is to write in pygame, like this fun little adventure.

Good. That's exactly what you should be doing right now. After the game gets closer to completion, then you can worry about self-promotion.

Sorry... I've read it, and I'll work out something in the next couple of days. Probably.

Bugger it, project or no project, I can't stay away from the Thread.

What's this now, Robbie? Are you doing some sort of favors?
