Good Work!

I haven't been very active at all recently, but I still have time to look at a few blogs and some games, and I have to say,

You're all doing such a good job!

The quality of games has really improved recently, and its encouraging me to think about getting back into the GM scene, (as I now have more free time since I've finished all my coursework…)

The problem is, as all people here get it, is that I lack ideas…

I don't want to do a platformer as there too unorigonal,

shooters are to similar to what I've done before,

and puzzlers have a fairly complex base to the code, (for me that is, as puzzles have no real base/model and the coding is very co-ordinate based (I'm talking about block-type puzzles here..))

I don't know, maybe I should start simple or something.. try making something new, or something unpopular, maybe one of those trading puzzles, I haven't seen many of them, (last one I played was a flash game)

Maybe even a multiplayer mode, where you have to get a random object and try to get the target object before your opponent, (although that could be complicated, but an interesting challenge…)

Sorry to bore you, its that I haven't blogged in a while, because of my dreamcast addiction and school…

But I promise, I will contribute to this site soon.. (I think I need to plan more…)

And remember: You, as a group, are doing brilliantly, the best tbhis site's been in a while, I left during an incredibly dry spell (where a few other older members left..), but I'm back now!

So deal with it!!

(If you don't know who I am, then don't worry about it! I'm not bothered one way or another…)

Ah yes, but why not go for something more…unexpected. Like a toothpick. Painful and compact =D

Hmmmm… I like your thinking…

I can always use teleportation to get past their defenses..

And 1000 sharpened toothpicks could be more painful than a shotgun blast…

Indeed! Teleportation to get past the enemies defences!

wait…

Who are the enemies?

Pirates, demons, and that little kid called Joe in the 3rd grade, you know, the one with the squinty eye and the wooden leg…

… *walks away to kill some pirates because he is too ninja to waste time talking about silly weapons*
