Still waiting on Titans passport tho. <br /><br />Titan is best suited to reply to technical aspects, but I dont think we can release on Linux. We make this game for Windows, so any other platform release would cause trouble. I'm not sure if it's possible but even if it is... Linus users are less that 1%. Same way we wont release on Mac, Iphone, Android etc. Too much hassle without payoff.Veinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459998099686973145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023652697490633104.post-532365872181957982018-05-24T12:25:04.524-04:002018-05-24T12:25:04.524-04:00Whatever I try next, it needs dedication and appet...Whatever I try next, it needs dedication and appetite for work. I can't decide about this now so I will let it rest in my head and see how things work out. All I can say at this point is that I prefer (playing and making) platform games from RPGS.<br /><br />I have programming knowledge but I'm not patient with it. To go through 800 lines of programming, character by character just to discover that a dot is missing.... not my kind of fun. So this path will only make me do half-assed games.Veinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459998099686973145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023652697490633104.post-85658647317748624132018-05-24T12:21:28.885-04:002018-05-24T12:21:28.885-04:00I think they would have thought about this and

I did some research and unfortunately it seems like GameMaker studio's "language" is not object oriented. I've dabbled with some javascript, but even that used node.js which makes it a bit more like an object based language. However, as that other guy said this seems like a fairly simple language so I'd recommend trying to learn it.

The radio silence from titan is actually more telling imo, he has been "close to releasing the beta" for almost three months now, its not your job to make excuses.<br /><br />I remember backing a few games on offbeatr, and yours is literally the only one that delivered more than one update, so it says a lot that you guys even did that when all the other developers just took money and ran. The only two games I even check anymore are this one and the zell23 one.

Exhausted of waiting on everyone. I dont have the patience to learn something new. This is just a phase that will pass, hopefully.

I'm hitting a psychological dead end. <br /><br />Titan is close to release the Beta, and hopefully this will cheer me up. But I'm done relying on promises. I will know when I see it with my own 2 eyes. Until then... I will try to fix my mood and carry on. But I'm like this depressing mode for over 2 weeks now. Usually this lasts for a few days at max. I hope it gets away soon. <br /><br />I think I'm scared of how the new beta will be... usually it has bugs to be fixed. But after 11 months... people would want to see something amazing.

As it's not a wrap around, it gives better access to things normally untouchable by ActionScript, like the computer's folder/file structure (Useful for saving/loading).<br /><br />It really depends on the type of game though, as physics based things (What a platformer like Mogi Origins needs) can be difficult to do on your own (Something Game Maker helps with, but ActionScript doesn't, by default (Libraries exist, but it means even more learning, and having to tie such systems in)). Stuff like the older games you have on the Ucogi site though? Far more doable.<br /><br />Basically base your approach on what you want to make. A lot of what you learn about coding is reuseable as different languages though, so any options you take won't be a complete waste.

I'm sorry it's an experience you've shared, good help is hard to find.<br /><br />My recommendation is you start to learn coding, so you're not so dependent on other people who are provenly unreliable. I believe it's a better option than paying a company to finish things for you, as you'll most likely have a repeat of your last multiple attempts down that avenue.<br /><br />As for Adobe Flash: Plug ins in web browsers may be largely dead, but Adobe Flash products can be compiled to executeables for many platforms. So, if it's a technology you're comfortable with: You can continue to safely use it.

Having this "silent support" is a big deal and it shows in Patreon pledges. <br /><br />I don't complain... but I guess I'm expressing my frustration as many of the fans do. It pains me to have done so much and not being able to share it with you guys. It's like I'm doing stuff that only I can see and then get blamed that I don't do my job. This sometimes gets to me. The game has updates, just not in the programming department. And no matter how hard I try to be positive, it hurts me. Sometimes we just need a smile to get us going.<br /><br />Making the Orphanarium game... it's the type of game I wanted to do for 20 years! Seriously, since 1998. They only thing standing in my way was the programmers. I only managed to finish it now because I made it myself and while I'm waiting on other programmers to do their job on other games I'm involved with. I'm sure I can name 20 programmers that abandoned projects that I started with them. It's a constant frustration and yet, I keep going.Veinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459998099686973145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023652697490633104.post-87425819135283676422018-04-23T22:37:05.140-04:002018-04-23T22:37:05.140-04:00I mean even if you don't see/read comments abo...I mean even if you don't see/read comments about something (lets say about the succubus animation) it doesn't mean there is no enthusiasm about it or you don't have any support... people want to say something supportive but all that zeal is being burdened by the stagnation of this main project. I read the updates you put out and i would love to show support but most of what i could say has already been said and my frustrations have already been expressed by you yourself and reiterating that negativity isn't going to help so just staying quiet and having hope is one way people try to show that nothing is better than complaints. You've got a silent backing and they still have faith and you know that for a fact. though pardon me if this comment is of no value, i just wanted to share an opinion.

But if the game goes slow for any reason, at least I'm trying to compensate by giving them sexy animations and secondary sexy games while the main game is being made. There is only so much do I can do on my own. That's why I made Wild West and Orphanarium and also why I'm making card games, because I dont need to rely on others to program them. But being all alone, only gets you this far.<br /><br />I dont regretting working on this game, but as the main designer, having all these stories and details in my head for years, it's tiring. I wish I could work on other sexy games... I got many ideas regarding Ucogi and expanding her Universe. <br /><br />A month ago I had a proposition to make a point and click game and I wrote 40 missions for Rudy... but well, the guy who wanted to do the game is a programmer. I try my hardest not to be biased with the programmers. But he was yet another programmer that abandoned the project. I do have serious problem with programmers. Well, I dont know, maybe it's me. But seriously, I cant see what I do wrong, when they quit before we even start the project!<br /><br />Back on topic, people want MoGi and they focus on that. And its easier to be negative. So I have to fight this battle as well, here, in the front lines, where anyone can fire at the game. The only thing keeping this together is the Patreon support. The people there are silent as well, but the numbers do show a devoted silent support.<br /><br />Regardless being frustrated at this silence, I can understand why it happens. People want the damn game finished, not to see by-products of it. The game is seemingly inactive for almost a year and people cant wait or get scared of the uncertain fate the game has. This creates tension. But in a way, even people saying negative things now, it's because at some point they cared about the game. So, we have to take their negativity as a positive thing. They only react like that because of their interest for the game.Veinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459998099686973145noreply@blogger.com
