>I ended up in the ER this morning after a sleepless night of frightening anxiety/panic induced symptoms that felt like I was having a heart attack

Sorry to hear that. I too suffer from bouts of crippling anxiety and panic attacks, so I know what you're going through. I hope you are doing ok.

The best wishes to you, Foxley! I certainly hope this is a one-time occurrence and you don't have to experience that again. Either way, I'm rooting for you. Hang in there, man.

Let's hope you find working on your game relaxing (and if not, right now would probably be a good time to take a real break!)

Thanks, all. I was able to get decent sleep last night, not as much as I would've liked but it was real sleep at least.

I'm new to ohr game making, but I'm planning on entering a game. I don't really have a title yet (most of the work I've done so far has been graphics and a handful of maps) but I was tentatively thinking "You Need a Hero" However, that'll probably change.

It's going to be an rpg in a mostly modern-day setting, so prepare to step into a fantastic world of greasy pizzerias, mysterious maze-like malls and running into your dear old mom at the grocery store.

I'm ready to believe that the mundane can be fantastic too!

You have encountered a Dear Old Mom

Dear Old Mom has the initiative!

Dear Old Mom attacks with grocery basket. You take 3 points of damage.

"Ow, what the hell, Mom? Why did you hit me?"

Dear Old Mom casts Guilt, you become acutely aware that you have not given her any grandchildren yet.

"Mommm! Stop it!"

Two months, Nathan. You've made your best games so far with one month of contest time each; you can finish this thing with the time you have allotted.

There's 3.5 months remaining?

Three months, plus two weeks for bugfixing. When the contest began it seemed much shorter than previous years, but I guess that was an illusion.

Oh man, I've been slipping -- I've been spending several days without doing any work...

I'm not officially bowing out, as I still have time, but right now, I don't know that I'll have my finished game done by the 31st of July. I'm still working towards that date though.

Where the hell did May go?

I was out of town for about 5 days last week/weekend and I've been unable to really get back to work on my project since. Only two months and a week remaining, hmm. I also may sign up for a summer class at city college, so that would make things even rougher.

At this point I'm wondering if I should just bash out something barebones so it's at least releasable and playable.

Oh man, I only have a small portion of the starting building made. I wonder if I should start a progress thread to keep me going along.
