God hates my game

Posted by carritohmc on May 25, 2010, 4:40 a.m.

So as all 5 people who've read my previous blog know: I'm back and making a new game, this time with renewed impetus and a team of rag tag artists (we call ourselves Conuco team).

Unfortunately, things haven't been going according to plan:

1: recent flooding of my state has kept me occupied, delaying my move to a new house with faster internet.

2: one member of the dev team (the architect) has broken his dominant hand (of course) fighting (apparently) MMA, therefore delaying the backgrounds.

3: the painter, responsible for cut scenes and designing character menu portraits has got it stuck in his head that the world is ending in 2012 (I'm not making this up), so…. well… painting isn't his priority right now.

4: The illustrator, (very talented and reliable guy) was last seen rioting at his university. I've gotten no word on his whereabouts.

So right now, I'm just programming what I can, but to be honest, my motivation isn't what it used to be. I might end up getting a full time government job a lot sooner than expected, which is good, especially in these trying times, but on the other hand it jeopardizes the completion of this nightmare (ahem, I mean game).

Oh well, at least if I don't do my part it's because I'm working, not because I'm busy beating people up, throwing rocks or heading for the hills.

Giving your team mates pretentious names doesn't make them better. Or less stupid, for that matter.

(Aside from possibly the guy with a broken hand) 'tseems everybody found something better to do. Including you I guess.

A lot better than having nothing better to do.

I've studied/been friends with all of 'em, and they were doing some real good stuff all throughout college. People sure are unpredictable.

I hate those people. They're so convinced the world is going to end in XYZ they can't be arsed to do anything worthwhile, but never convinced ENOUGH to take a giant loan without worrying about paying it back.

Guys, I think Cesque is onto something.

@Kilin That the kind of people hes describing are idiots? Yeh, you should make him bet everything he owns on the world ending. What does he care?

Oh, and get an avatar, person. You're a nobody without an avatar.

Programming takes more time than art so I would take this opportunity.

No, Toast.

I was being sarcastic, suggesting something else he won't be convinced ENOUGH to do… nevermind.
