I check the forum every now and then. How about you, are you and your multiple personalities still posting around?

Ty

Yup, melee is the like... the best fighting game ever.

Thanks, and yeah... you should always aim to do what you want to do in life. I'm actually gonna start a course in game design this fall too, to help me out a bit.

That's awesome. If you ever manage to make a game with them, be sure to let me know. =D

And we plan to start off by making typical iphone games/small games that are easy to make and sell for handhelds etc, but hope to be able to make bigger games later on if things go well.

It's strange that being a writer is still very weird to people. I get people who are super excited by the idea of me writing and seem to think that I'm almost published or something, and other people who just give me weird looks and are just like "yeah whatever." It seems strange to people that I write creative stuff, despite the fact my degree is writing based (albeit not creative) and my minor is in creative writing. Idiots! xD But yeah, I can definitely understand why there's just that, I guess hesitance to mention it.

I think making a detailed plan is the way to go. At least plans can be changed if inspiration hits. Relying on inspiration could make things disjointed. Planned works are structurally sound, generally, so it's a great frame to add to.

I'll keep posting excerpts, once a week from now so I have time to write more too. Process of choosing an excerpt is making me realise that there are a lot of sections that need improving; I'm embarrassed to show them! xD

Honestly, I'm not using the setting anywhere near as much as I should be. It's something I want to go back through and edit, but for some reason I've had trouble grounding myself in this world. I'm not sure how it's set up, because at times it feels somewhat post-apocalyptic and at others highly developed and I just ugh. The actual underground city was pretty much the core dream element that I brought across but I need them to spend more time there and see something and do stuff but I just can't think what. However, the gridlike pattern will definitely get a workout when the city is assaulted later in the book.

Method writing can be a bitch sometimes xD Especially if you're trying to do third person or a different first person perspective. It's also annoying sometimes when you're with someone, like I did some writing once while at my girlfriend's place and I stopped for dinner and was just a complete dick to her by accident xD

Iron Man, actually. /smug

i for one would play a game where the main character was chocolate muffinpants tbh

it's cool, i don't either (don't tell my neighbours)

also oh right so those are xenosaga characters? i thought they were just made up or something

you being the plural you that we strangely don't have a word for in this dumb language. let's speak welsh instead

oh my god you're back!
