Bad Habit BBaller // 07:50 // 8 replies
It seems I have the habit of making games that are not all that fun to play. First I made Elementary Kanji, a learning program rather than a game. Next, I worked on Learning the Kana, another learning tool, though this time it was better disguised as a game. Now, working on my puzzle game Home Base, I am starting to wonder what exactly I am trying to accomplish with Game Maker. The game seems to be extremely hard for most people who try it, and it seems that it is more of a chore for them rather than a challenge. Once Home Base is done, I am going to change my focus. I want to make a game that is more fun to play than it is to look at. Trouble is coming up with an original idea that would be just as fun for me to make as it would be to play.

My bad habit is simply not finishing my games. I usually just run out of momentum, y'know?

(And Deadheat, I agree. I wouldn't have spent months creating my puzzle game if I wanted it to be a game everyone loved.)

I'm going to have to agree that Home Base is indeed quite hard, but that's not necessairely a bad thing. I think Pondwater has a good idea, you could team up with ChevyRay.

I'd be game for that, though unless I waited until my current project was completed (let's just say not soon...), it'd simply involve working around it. It's nice to work on another project anyhow, because the switching back-and-forth keeps you getting bored of just one.

When it comes down to it though, I'm always able to help with the initial design phase of a game; so if it's simply the foresight and planning that has you stumped, then maybe someone like I could be your key to executing this goal.
