Somehow, I get the feeling that Circy will turn this into a Talking Topic, if it hasn't been done already .

But still... what is keeping you? Personally, I'm just out of ideas for games that I'd actually enjoy making. My games are either too complicated to be fun to make or would rely too much on animations and physics. Heck, I could even do a list of the things I need in my game:
1. A proper script engine (editor for text based games like Combatant, Trap Designer)
2. A proper AI engine, for some of my more interesting ideas
3. An online network engine, in case I can't do good AI. Even if I had that, I'd still need some online players .
4. A working physics engine (which I did, but it breaks down from heavy use thanks to the bugs that came with MMF1.5's qualifiers)


Ugh, I kinda miss the old, simple games. My Arena Fighters game was fun for its sheer simplicity, I should make a remake of that when I have time .

I procrastinate on assignments, and when I do that I can't seem to get anything else productive done in the meantime.

I'm a crappy pixel artist, that's what's holding me back. Takes me ages to draw even the smallest sprites. I need to get someone to do it for me instead.

That and school.

Hey, I'm productive. Just working on tons at the same time, and sometimes nothing.

Me neither. Deadline for a Data Structures assignment passed thirty minutes ago. It feels good not to have it hanging over my head, even if I'm failing the course.

Cba.

Plus I don't have MMF or anything anymore. I do, however, have a DVD with TGF pro on it. It's a legal copy, it came free with a magazine ages ago.
If I wanted to, I could install that and make stuff. But yah... cba.
