More stress should be put on custom graphics
Yeah, but that only applies to people who can really do custom graphics. And even if you can you need to really ask yourself if the extra work is necessary or fun to do. Just because all you need is a magnetic needle and a still hand to craft your game doesn't mean you should sit there and poke at your drive plates when you could be doing other things like designing the gameplay.
I mean, I originally was just going to use RPG Maker 2003 until I decided I should patch up the engine that was lying around and use it- and that it would be fun to do.

More stress should be put on custom graphics
I love anime-style graphics. And to be honest, the RTP artists were actually pretty good at what they do. You might not like their style, but they still did a good job drawing everything. Many editors either come with no or crappy royalty free materials for you to use (although often they license you to only use it with the associated engine).
And not everyone can sprite that well. Not to mention it's hard to find someone nice enough to do any of this stuff for you on your hobby project.
COME ON GUYS you should stress custom MUSICS and battle system, no wait!- you should also write your own GAEM ENGINE in ASM so you have to write your own POGAMMING LANGUAGE, let's not stop there you have to build your own keyboard and semiconductors.

Release Something! Day VIII: Journey of the Cursed King [Sign ups]
Holy crap 34 games so far. Is this going to be on another epic several hour long podcast? If so, the people doing that cast are devoted I say!
958 downloads! (Why wait for round numbers to celebrate trivialities?)
Inspiration and Work Ethic
Ironically, for me I seem to work on this stuff slowly if it's during Summer Break, but when School and Jobs come up I seem to work just as hard at my game making hobby. It's got to be the rhythm for me, I'm sure.

That's great. It might actually be possible to make a build of this engine for XBOX, PSP, PS3 (the ones that still have that functionality), DS, Macs, Solaris, etc. Can't say what would happen to the performance though. But I've heard those devices have OpenGL and SDL support.
The hard part is picking a media player and formats that satisfy the need for compression, but still work on platforms. The good news is that my editing suite can just recode the audio using mplayer or something if it has to be some weird audio format.

Well if you run out of time, you could always just release a program that shows your main character doing the caramelldansen or just an animation of that crazy avatar. Hey it's still a release!

Oh crap, I wish there was an edit button for these comments. Anyway I need to know which OS and version/service pack you used.

Nope. If you're curious, you can see what is in wslog.txt just for fun, but if it runs fine that's all I need. If something crashes, I had it set to output program exceptions to the wslog.txt so that when someone has a problem with the engine, they can send that file to me and I can try and pinpoint the systems and what happened.
