Castle Paradox

[Monheart]

I haven't been hanging around the boards that much lately, I apologize for that. I was never actually gone, I was just off doing other things. A few mouths ago, I got a new game idea that kinda stuck on me, untill I started to actually play it out. this new project is nothing new, I don't plan on makeing something awe-inspiring new, or something the OHR hasn't ever seen before, I just plan on making a quality game using all the techniques of quality i've seen and learned.

I'm afraid my only downfall, is my tendency to leave projects unfinished. I hope to get this project out as a demo if nothing else. Of course, I'm really afraid of my particular downfall on this particular project, because this project is the most complex I've concocted yet. I don't really want to spoil anything for anyone, I want to try and keep it hush hush as long as I can. But this topic is meant as a hint that something big MAY come around. Perhaps the biggest thing since OHR tactics.

Also, I hope for a little encouragement too. I know that all my past projects have sort of flopped. (To Kill a Mockingbird, TaoMeow (only because of some wierd bug...) and my Plotscripting tutorials.) so I hope with some encuragement, maybe I can stick with this new one long enough to get it done. I also hope that if this post strikes any attention, maybe that will allow me to leak some tasty info about it.

also, for anyone who is wondering, I still have all the info for my plotscripting tutorials, however, I need help figuring out how to get them back up.

So you'd like some general community support for a game that you certainly won't finish but may or may not get a demo out of? Uh...

...thanks for posting, Mon.

[Grandtrain]

You considered TaoMeow a flop?

[Monheart]

well, it kinda goes under the same idea. I don't intend for the comunity to help in any way directly for this game. (although if I get far enough, I may do something special with it, but for now it's not likely.) I'm hoping for some more personal support. You see, I never really got as much praise as I hoped with my previous games (TaoMeow was a disappointment to me because I poured my heart and soul into it for three years about, and it got little decent feedback. Also, I've almost given up working on it due to some strange unexplainable bug.) Also, TaoMeow was never really discussed again, let alone reveiwed. So it must be a flop, because I have no way of knowing how good it is.

Again, I don't need any direct help from the community, I just hope that I'll get support for my efforts.

I don't see why you're saying you're not wanting help from the community, but complaining because the community didn't help you. Most people really didn't see Taomeow. I would have played it, but it crased after the first fight. I must say though, the intro was incredible.

[Flamer]

taomeow was incredible.
though, there was a few places it could improve on, it showed that you planned well a head for it.

TaoMeow was a very cool game, but at the time I stopped playing it about 1 min into the real gameplay because of that stupid MP bug, and the fact that all spells were enabled. I will play it again, but yeah, I too was surprised about the lack of comment about it.
However, it now regually appears in the top 20 or so of best games for the OHR lists, so its not forgotten (would probably get higher, but not so many have played it)

As for you project, I'm planning 3 or 4 'interesting new use for the OHR' projects myself, and I have exactly the same problem as you, but much worse. If you can keep at something for 3 years, you're my hero.

I don't mean to deflate your ego or anything, but there are no new ideas. You can't possibly have a new idea because, there are none. There is no such thing as a new idea. All you can do is take the same old idea and do new things with it.

geez! Cut it out you guys! No Shot is right in a way. My idea is new for the fact that I haven't done it before. It's true that I don't plan on making anything we haven't seen before, as I said before, my idea is just to put it all together. It's comming along beautifully too, for as far as I've gotten. I didn't make this post as an argument, so I wish that it doesn't end this way. Please stop.

Hunter, you owe me on that bet we made in mIRC by the way.

Welcome back, Monheart,

As for TeoMeow, I never told anyone, but the results of that stupid game of the year thing I did on Zant (last year I think), TaoMeow cleaned out everybody (something like 10 votes total, 6 for TaoMeow)

...and I never played it. Oops.

Anyway, look forward to whatever you are churning up.
