Challenge, hidden or outspoken?

Hidden content is always cool when you unlock it, but honestly I don't worry too much about content like this. When there are specific conditions to achieve the greatest results in a game, it feels too linear and uncreative to me. I prefer less obvious achievements, like for example an arena where you can fight progressively harder enemies, but can do so any time in the game.

Extra Credit: Are you a good Designer?

Great vid. It always, always helps to be reminded to think of your game any other game and not as YOUR game.

Ways to improve the community/maintain its awesomeness.

Absolutely Feldschlacht! Thank you for posting this topic. One of the things I noticed right off the bat joining this site is how much negativity there can sometimes be flying around. No, I'm not trying to cause problems, but just agreeing with Feldschlacht about some of the issues that are a real community turn-off.

Thanks again for the positive post.

Yeah, maps look good. Sounds like a good pursuit; I'm sure the redone version will turn out like you are hoping. Good luck and keep at it!

Recruiting help on your project

Yeah yeah, thanks guys. Support Group makes sense Craze.

Stupid question, but where should I upload stuff? Like I altered a waterfall graphic I would like to share. Should I use the locker? Some file sharing program?

Thanks

Are you happy with how your life has turned out?

Hey Tau. I'm glad you have the perspective that you do. I have done some things I regretted too and so have most of the people I know. Life is change, and if you try to resist the change it will only make things worse. It sounds like you are starting to see life and who you could be differently. I have allowed myself to change and struggle through my own hardships, and I am happy with where life is going. I'm not really happy because of superficial circumstances (although those things affect me to be sure), but I am happy because I know myself better than I think most people my age do and I can be responsible and healthy about life. But it isn't easy, and I'm not trying to brag at all. Change just takes time and the commitment to make things change. I just want to assure you that it is worth it in the end. I think one of the goals and mysteries of life is self-discovery.

It sounds like you've thought about why you did the things you did, and that is great! Some things to ask yourself are "What was I trying to accomplish when I slept with this person or did x thing?" "What need was I trying to meet?" Kinda like how Emanzi identified that they joined a gang so they wouldn't be lonely. A lot of time we try to fill deficiencies in our life with other things that aren't related. It is good to identify what you were looking for -acceptance, distraction, love, etc- and then have grace for yourself about the negative ways you went about trying to get those things. And then, of course, train yourself to make better choices in the future.


@Nightblade and anyone else with a similar situation: You sound a lot like how I used to be. I used to always push people away with my problems and convince myself that no one liked me; that I was disgusting and worthless. This kind of thing happens all the time with abused children though, and you aren't nearly as bad as you think you are. Healing from that kind of childhood is HELL and I know that firsthand. I am 26 now, and one of the reasons I was able to start dealing with everything that has happened to me is that my dad is out of the picture completely. He died some 6 or 7 years ago now. I would strongly urge you to get out of your parents' house as soon as you can. It is crappy and not really fair, but you are gonna have to really take control of everything that happened to you. There is something to be said for owning all the pain that other people inflicted on you, and working through it.

The other reason I was able to heal was because I had support. I found a few friends to talk with, I went to therapy and it helped a lot. And just so you know, I was a freakin mess beforehand. I used to cut myself all the time. It took my 8 years to stop. I've also tried to commit suicide a handful of times. I flunked out of school, lost my friends, was homeless for awhile. I have very similar experiences where my dad would beat the pets and freak out over the slightest things. So I can relate. Perhaps you should join a forum for childhood abuse, and maybe seek therapy. In any event, it is good that you are able to talk about these things at all. Not everyone is very kind or understanding, and it that can make it intimidating to open up about yourself like this.

Cuteness is amazing! I wish the whole game could be drawn like your concept art.

Recruiting help on your project

Hm, thanks for the feedback. I suppose that makes sense that people will like to have a joint project from the get go instead of working on someone else's project. Yes, patience and politeness are essential. I have helped out little bits with other people's projects as well, and I don't like to be rushed either.
