Re: I deleted some games--setting the record straight

I think placing a warning and what you wrote here on the game pages would be a better response than deletion. I thought about writing paragraphs of text on historical merit. But I'm pretty sure you already know everything I was going to say: art exists as part of its time, dated art can be a useful ...

Dev Log #2 While in the shower I finally figured out the actual ending. There were still 2 possible versions of it, but it felt much closer than the old ones. I basically took some of the implied pieces of the setting and pushed them up, creating a lot of debris to clean up afterwards. But it still ...

Dev Log #1 Tried to talk TMC out of doing this to no avail. It seems I've fallen into another contest game, and there's no way out. On, hm, Tuesday I had a pretty strong concept (structure, setting, theme, etc) in place that I was pretty excited to do. By Thursday it seemed like a terrible idea. Tha...

Oh, dear. Never play chicken with making Contest Games, folks. You'll always lose.

Thanks for the offer by the way, Nathan, but looks like I won't be needing it.

Fortunately, it looks like we will be spared from that fate since it seems no one is brave enough to draw my game for me (you don't have to be good at drawing, I won't bite). I'd recommend a similar strategy for dodging your own Contest Game Temptation, but you made the silly mistake of learning all...

Anyone want to work on a game with me (by which I mean draw my game for me)? I hear the focus is "entirely on story/characters", and not actually being ridiculous at all. Don't expect any crazy scripting/mechanics. Story and characters. Have a concept ready to go. Will probably be an RPG. ...

I still link up reviews, but only like once or twice a year (last time must have been part way through last year's review contest?). If you want to do it more frequently, go for it.

Of course scripts are still involved, but y'know: "George, you can type this slime, but you can't say it!". Even the sloppiest self-trained speaker in the world with the most minimal visual presentation is going to start to shift their writing to accommodate the spoken form after enough ye...
