Where have I heard that name before? Derek Yu, Derek Yu...
Oh yeah! The guy that made Spelunky!
I'll check it out, since this is a guy who definitely knows what he's talking about. I had no idea he had a blog related to game design. Looks like I'm in for a lot of reading tonight!
EDIT: Maybe not! It's seldom updated and has less than a dozen articles total to read, and not all of those are "feature-length."

I didn't know he had a blog, but I thought Derek Yu was indie-famous for TIGSource even before Spelunky.

After reading that, I feel alittle more embarrassed that I got Soo~ hung up with making the audio myself. ^^;

I remember reading this somewhere awhile ago. I had almost forgotten about it until I saw it again here. I have to say a lot of this sounded like me, especially the part about scaling down. I was trying to customize so much instead of using the OHR's default systems that it started to become overwhelming. I prefer to customize as much as possible, but it's difficult when you're a one-man team.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy... So here's some lunchmeat... Sandwich, maybe?

Aww, don't do that! We're looking forward to your Emiki the wanderer game! And the interesting mini-game in it as well.
As for me "finishing my game", I plan on it, but it's seriously gonna take me years to do so. AR-PUH-GUH! ain't your average OHRRPGCE game, it's going to be many many many hours long, and it's due to content, not grinding. Anyone who knows me knows I hate grinding with a passion...well, excessive grinding at least. A few minutes spent grinding can be good for fun.
Many many much content has been planned, and plenty has been drawn as well.
