Okay, listen. I know my games stink, I really do. I shouldn't have posted so many on the site, especially the stupid ones. So here's what I will say:
I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have wasted so much bandwidth.
It was really stupid of me, and I'm sorry that I went a bit too far. So as to those who work for the site, I would really appriciate it if you delete any game(s) other than my Bomberman games, Construction Worker*, Scott RPG*, and the Yes Man Adventures games**. Of course, if you wanted, you could just delete this name and every game made by it, but I would really appriciate it if you kept some of my serious games. Thanks. Also I would like to remind you guys that most of those stupid games I DID make in middle school.
* = I know these games are very bad, but keep in mind they are old games I made in elementary, so I would really like to keep them because they're at least supposed to be serious.
** = The Yes Man Adventures is a series I'm still doing, so I would really appriciate if you kept these (although I wouldn't blame you for deleting them). If the biggest problem is the infinite loops, I'd feel free to put a warning, or if you really don't like them, than feel free to remove them. Keep in mind what the AJs say (and what they are) are personal jokes, so that's why you probably wouldn't understand the jokes.
Once again guys, really sorry. I shouldn't have wasted so much bandwidth. I'll be sure to only post serious games from this point on. |

No need to apologize for your creations. As you said, these games were made in middle school, were probably hilarious to yourself and your friends at the time, and you have since matured . They're not serious games, but their creation served a purpose, be it personal amusement, boredom, what have you. You tweaked them until you were satisfied enough to release them publicly.
Since then, you have matured enough to look back at your works and say "These aren't worth downloading." I'm not sure if others will agree with me here, but that alone makes the games worth keeping. It shows your progression and growth as a game maker. Don't look at the old games as non-serious, crappy and not worth downloading. Really look at the game, learn from it, and teach with it.
Rewrite the description, or write an authors review. Don't just state the game isn't worth playing, tell us what brought it's creation, what you were trying to do when creating it. At the time, did it serve its purpose and meet the goals you set forth. Obviously you ended up with something you were willing to release. Now, looking back at it, you say the games aren't worth downloading. Tell us why. Something like this:
| As a fake CarlPG Description, IM (who hasn't played the game) wrote: |
By the end of 7th grade, my friends and I had become addicted to Super Teen Hunger Force. We would quote lines and watch episodes together. This escalated into the development of CarlPG.
The "game" was nothing more than inside jokes targeted at my group of friends trying to get a laugh. In that respect, this game is a sucess that didn't stand the test of time. Looking back, I don't even see the comedy of most of the jokes anymore. I'd be surprised if anyone outside my circle of friends even laughed.
I am actually quite proud of how the walkabouts of each character turned out. However, by focusing only on the humor of a select few and incorporating inside jokes that quickly became old, this game is not worth the download. |
I'd like to note I haven't played any of the games, but I hope you see what I mean by these games still being worth listing even though you consider them to be crap. They show your growth as a creator. Also, your self analysis not only helps you continue to improve, but it can teach anyone who reads it. Kind of like that [url="http://www.castleparadox.com/ohr/viewtopic.php?t=4113"]Do's and Don'ts[/url] thread in OHR Gen. The responses are coming from personal experiences that might not be all that obvious to a newer user.
If you still really want them deleted, let me know, but don't worry about the bandwidth. You're utilizing the site as intended and, to me, that's never a waste.

| Well, okay, thanks. At first I was hoping people wouldn't judge me by them, but ever since that post from Gizmog1 (who I have respected since the third grade) in this certain section of the message board, I've realized I'm starting to get a reputation as a bad game maker. I guess I'll edit my descriptions. |

| Play some of Giz's games, man. I'm not ashamed of 'em, and while I haven't played yours, I don't see any problem leaving your old games up there. Hell, it reminds you of what not to do, if nothing else, and I'm sure that there are parts of the games you like. |

No matter how many bad games you create, one exceptionally good game can cover everything else up.
...Aren't you the guy who was going to make another bomberman game? |
