Game Development Slowed Down.

Something like this always happens to all flash authors, well, now it's my turn. My turn based game I've been working on was saved yesterday and when opened today was saved IMPROPERLY! I dunno how, but unfortuneatly, all the code was shifted around in 100 different places, so I'll be pretty offset in the production. After bawling my eyes out for a few hours and trying to fix it I came to the conclusion I couldn't. Thankfully, none of the graphix were deleted and thankfully, I still have some important codes in old flash documents.

Sadly, I'll be rewriting most of the 4000 lines of code I had, but thankfully now that I have the full clear vision of the game in my head plus the menus and art and stuff still alive, it won't take too long to bring the code to its former glory, possibly even making the game better + more lag free + funner. :O.

Well yea, sorry to dissapoint, but it'll still be a few months before the game goes into BETA.

In other happier news, the Cardboard City Collab is out. I'm glad I could've helped out in the way that I could, I submitted a preloader game you can enjoy while waiting for the mammoth of a collab to load. Go check it out if you haven't already!

Cardboard City

Well guys, that's all for this week's news.

Keep being cool!

You have to rewrite 4000 lines of code!? Well at least it might make the game a little bit more better.

I also liked the preloader in the Cardboard City collab. It was simple yet entertaining.

Major suckage dude.

Man, that is a damn shame.
I often lost motivation on huge projects too. But it's always just from working on it too much, never from something that major.
That really sucks. If you take a break, then get back at it later, it really helps.
Don't try to take it on again instantly

Did not like that card board city but I know that you wrote the Cardboard city at the intro and ending and the credits :)

Just noticed this : "I create rhythm based games. Music should not just be a background to games, it should be PART of the game. That's where I come in ;P"

HELL YEAH !!!

excellent... my virus worked....... you heard nothing.

Bummer... Well, it happens. At least you still have the graphics. I was halfway through a project once when flash decided to corrupt it. I lost everything. Saying that, it was kinda crappy and it didn't really have much code or graphics, but still. I know your pain, but not from that. I lost a larger project when flash decided suddenly to screw up the frames, so that my character fell down a hole and died every time he walked.

Dude, I feel sooo sry for u. My eyes actually watered up when I heard you say that.

Coolio-Niato 2008-07-18 00:08:59

Don't worry about it. I redid alot of the code now, so it's not too bad. I added new graphix too and the game is almost better than ever at the moment =)
