Explaining my very LONG absence and how I will try to make up for it.

Well, it seems like I don't visit this website that often as it turns out. I have been doing a lot of stuff, but one thing that I don't do at all is developing the games. But, seeing that my first creation in MMF2, which is Bubsy in Yoshi's Island hasn't got a lot of attention from dear members in this website, which then raises the question do I even bother to create games if I don't receive any feedback? Couple of comments doesn't sound a lot for couple of games that I submitted here for everyone's pleasure, but I have other (un)finished games for store if anyone is interested.

But, as if I haven't told just yet, I have series called "James the Ball's Great Adventures", which follows red ball named James through wacky adventures in his quest to save the day. I have first game ready to be published, but I still need to make few adjustments here and there before I'll release it to the wild. I also had second game under production, but sadly it stalled to the final boss, but seeing that I hadn't too much stuff remaining to be made for second game, I would probably finish it in near future for everyone around here if they are interested.

this happens 90% of the time for most games. dont sweat it, just keep making games and maybe you'll end up creating a winner!

Totally this! Like you've

Totally this! Like you've been away from the site, many people get caught up in other things. It's easy for something to slip through the cracks, but don't let it keep you down :) Keep making, and your work will be noticed in it's whole!

I am interested

I wouldn't worry about a game not getting noticed. It's nice when that does happen, but you did get 2 comments back then and most people get 0, and you got one from some people which is like getting more. I actually did go back and try to play the game too, but found it very very hard. not because the levels were tough, but you got a gameover and had to start all over again meaning you had to have super patience, and there's only a couple game's i'm patient enough with to start all over on. But I remember the levels faded quite nicely and there were nice effects.

I do remember a case where the "ball" didn't quite bounce up all the way, and it was tough. You could've also posted it as a game and not a trainspotting, post it to an event to boot. It's hard to trainspot when the forums aren't used quite as much as the olden times.

Oh gee, I sometimes want to

Oh gee, I sometimes want to try out wacky ideas, but seeing that you got frustrated on my first game, I guess I'll go to change things here and there, and even add password system so you don't have to start all the way from the beginning.

Or just keep his suggestions

Or just keep his suggestions in mind in future (if you agree with them) if you want to work on other games.

I thought the presentation was well

I'm just not a pro at it is all. I died a lot. But yeah, I figure you've got the one thing up, I might as well take the time to give a little feedback on it. If you've still got the sauce after all these years and are able and it's not in your way I'd be welcome to play it again. Course I believe in preserving the history of things. I think if you're about to make something and want zero/zilch limits disregard everything I said and go with the flow and make it as you always wanted to do, then if you're bored ask around for whatnots/changes.

The window to enlightenment is yours, and I'd hate to be a detractor of your limitless potential you have with your softwares, as you've probably done something more formulatic than i have in all my clicking history. I wanted once to make a picture of sonic running like an idiot, but I ended up with gronic, some drinking green sonic. I thought I'd share it for the Russian Christmas tradition. so S Rozhdestvom! and enjoy your greeting card, even though it's more like a flash animation of a green sonic turning into some duck monster from drinking too much green tea.. He becomes a green tea demon because they invade our souls and you cannot be too careful, for those with a soul to the sole being are painted on a window that like widows pass by and stuff.. Merry chistmas guys!
