Are you happy with how your life has turned out?

I'd say I appreciate my life so far, even though it could be better.
I'm still living with my parents at age 22. Due to the price on a place to call my own is ever so high, I'm happy they haven't kicked me out as long as I make some use.

Getting a job isn't the easiest either considering I have no earlier experience, so I'm happy that I got accepted to my currently running Java education program.
I also enjoyed my equivalent to High School. That was fun times. Maybe enjoyed it too much since I never wanted it to end and I still miss it.

I also try to work on my social abilities and how I seem to underrate myself which doesn't seem to open up possibilities.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

I've been picking up Borderlands again and doing a second play through.
First time it was Roland, this time it's Brick! I LIKE PUNCHING STUFF!

RPGs Through the Generations

First off, we include action RPGs in this mix I presume.

NES: The Legend of Zelda (I do possess FFI which is more of an RPG, but it's on the FF Origins collection)
GB: Pokémon Gold
SNES: Final Fantasy VI / Chrono Trigger
PS1: Final Fantasy IX
GC: Tales of Symphonia
PS2: Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia / Ar tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica
GBA: Golden Sun
DS: The World Ends with You
Wii: Muramasa: The Demon Sword (I see RPG elements)
PS3: Borderlands (I see RPG elements)

Of course, there are many more. And many that are close match to each other, but this would possibly be the best alignment.

How long should a game take to make?

I started working on my project over 2 years.
It is sorta finished and could be released, but I've decided it is not fully complete yet, so it's so-to-say "it's out when it's out".

I have taken minor breaks in the game making-process like a week off or two, but I've never considered truly putting it aside for an undefined period of time. I would only consider it on hiatus if I "abandon" it and start working and giving focus on something else.

Making new tabs on a Game Page

Manage Games > Choose your game > Now next to your Summary, Images, Blog tabs there's one named 'Pages'. Add a Page.

Things that piss you off/pet peeves/vent/etc.

When I hear people speak in double negative and not seem fully aware of it.
"I didn't do nothing!" Oh, so you DID!?

It doesn't really piss me off, but it annoys me.

Dialogue, Characters, and You.

If the heroes can talk, how does it come that almost every single NPC you "talk" to is the only one actually talking?
The most cases I see heroes talk or comment back is if a hero has a personal opinion of the subject or if it story critical. It's like the heroes are mute otherwise.

I think either you make the heroes actually start the conversation or you're given choices of what to ask the NPC.

Single Character RPGs: How Can They Work?

I had an idea for a single hero RPG-project sometime ago, but it never got anywhere.
It was going to be set up so you could use more than one command per turn in battle. You could also get some items that give you even more turns.

A typical situation where I only thought about the gameplay-mechanics and non about the story.

Playtest Problem

Have you tried removing the changes to the previous state.
In that way you can at least determine if the changes cause the problem or something else.

I bet his courage must be linked to being oblivious.
You don't fear what you don't know.
