Yeah, I used to go there to check how my mate's artsy stuff was doing. There's seriously not one negative review on the entire site (at least there wasn't when I used to go), and some of the stuff there is balls.

Being lovely and friendly is great, but sometimes you need brutal feedback so you can improve :P

That said, it's great that artists over there aren't pressured into appealing to an impossible audience of idiots.

The hardest part of animating
I think it's character animation, I'll never be able to get that part right.

I always get lazy and end up doubling every other frame :s

Actually, at the moment I'm forcing myself to do one walk or attack cycle every day. If I let them all pile up then nothing'll get done, so spreading them out should make development a hell of a lot smoother.

My next little Project

I'm currently working on quite a large project with Evan, however as another smaller project that I hope to slot into my remaing spare time this summer is to re-create an old ZX Spectrum game called Frank N. Stein (I won't be suprised if none of you have even heard of it, nevermind played it!).

Why this game you ask? Well it just so happens that the creator of that game (Colin Stewart) is my father! He created the game when he was around 16-17 (1984), and since I'm at a similar age now I thought it would be fitting to re-create my Dad's classic with the latest technology (Namely, ActionScript 3) and then suprise him with it!

That's a wonderful idea! I'm sure your father will be thrilled with your remake!

What business is your father in now days?

Dreams

Dreams really are weird. I just got Metal Gear Solid 4 and its the first time ive played a Metal Gear Game in god knows how long, and ive been having dreams about MG. Its creepy actually. This one was about me in Atlantic City, New jersey, and i just keep seeing FROGs and the BNB chicks flying in the sky while PMCs keep boardwalk watch. freaky.

BTW: HAPPY 1900 POOOSSTTTT

Game Ideas

I've been giving serious thought to making a game where you play as a sperm and your mission is to fertilize an egg.

Any thoughts? It feels like this might have been done before.

I agree, the only real thing I dislike about deviantart is the audience at times. I think people choose to not respond if they have something negative to say instead of just saying it because they worry about hurting feelings.

I'd say that they are more worried about getting banned. you get banned for EVERYTHING on there.

New ideas are tough. But sometimes you don't even really need an idea. Just take an existing construct and do it exceedingly well. Hell, NG doesn't even really have a tight racing game yet.

I was just thinking that a third-person racer with a flat, 3D bitmap ground would be pretty good if done right. What do other people think?

Yea as far as redoing concepts, take for example almost every game on the front page.

Done right, it could be great. I wanna make a racer eventually, just too much on my plate at the moment. Maybe the finished product of yours will be an inspiration to get mine rolling, heheh.

Ah feck, that's a pun, isn't it?

I only wanna make origanal games. Button Finder was an origianal concept so I've ended up making three versions 'cos I can't think of other ideas.

Nah, I'm too busy too right now too. I'd like to give it a go eventually, though. Hopefully once I've got all my other projects done.

Ah yes, and it graced the front page for a solid 2.3 years I believe. Give or take a couple months...

Game Ideas

It felt like that had been done before... But as many of you have said, a lot of concepts have been used and many games are just reconstructions of others. I may try to draw up some sprites and see if it looks good enough where I want to find a programmer and continue it.

The way I actually wanted to build the game is as you start out as a sperm in the urethra, where you have to make your way around small blocks and such. Then as you get to each stage in the game, (vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tube, and to the egg) each one becomes like a mini-game in itself. Similar to the style of Glaiel and BoM's Nuctracker game.

I don't know, I just think it'd be cool.

It was catchy due to its online play, but if you took it offline, you wouldn't really have NG's definitive racing game in your hands. I enjoyed it, but not for the reasons I mean when I say that NG doesn't really have a great racer yet.

Ideas

There are original ideas still. It just might be more eccentric than is normal, but whatever if it's a new idea and it's fun. I was glad to see a game I worked on being called original by lots of people. Like others have mentioned about themselves, that's what I want to strive for. There's too much of the same shit.

Luis, that looks fucked up.
