Hi everybody so here is the thing…
So recently I've been spending my time working on a short challenge game for the bet between TSM and I, which would explain the two recent teasers. The game so far is pretty planned out, but things aren't totally finished. The game so good, but, I've been thinking lately, "what if, this short game becomes popular?" If it were popular then that would mean that I could cancel this game and move on to more original projects. But the thing is, I really didn't want to disappoint people. Ever since I was new I always had thoughts of being successful as Scott and thoughts of people getting excited about my games. But now that I'm slowly getting to that dream with almost 1000 followers (thank you very much for this btw) I've been giving so much pressure on my shoulders. I've been given this fear of disappointing people, by wasting there time with playing a game that either wasn't made for joy like it was at the start or aren't just happy with how the final product plays. I want to be a game developer and as a game developer, you would have to take into account so many things: predict the expectations of new players, make sure the game makes sense to the player, and make sure the game overall was worth the wait. I've been given so much, "popularity," then I would've expected and now I feel like I have to make it something special and stand out and I also feel like anything I publish will not be worth it and will not satisfy +1000 people. Remember that time I said the game was canceled, then said it was a troll? Well, it wasn't. I felt so bad for disappointing so many people that I said it was a troll so that people would forgive me and not be angry. But I just recently had a thought, which made me write this post. I had a thought, it's more work, but might be fun for me. The challenge game that targets difficulty is an arcade styled game, but it isn't like an 8bit game but a remake of my first published game, so just a normal, "closing door game." But for Original Location, I could go full-out with this game. I can make literally anything happen in clickteam. I don't wanna brag or anything, but I'm kinda a "pro," in clickteam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But for real, I can do anything for original location. Like I can make it similar to sister location, as that it was originally based off of. Like, make it really sci-fi and have the gameplay be totally different. I dunno. My point is, I can make the challenge game as a fun arcade game, and then I can make original location and test myself on my abilities. I'll work on both and hopefully, it will all work out in the end. I feel like this is really appropriate, and would motivate me into working a publish a game. I haven't published a game for over 2 years, it has really come to the point where I just want to make a game., and hopefully this would work out for you guys.
Just tell me what you think, and hopefully, you enjoyed what I’ve said.
