Feeling discouraged.
11 years ago
So, I got some friends a while back and asked them if they'd be willing to help me with my game. They liked the idea, and joined the forum I made for us. I posted my plans, and... no one replied. Ever.
I posted my plans on VGR, in hopes someone there would join me. No replies.
So either people expect me to make this game on my own, or they just don't care, and either way, it bothers me. The former because I can't do it, and the latter because it makes it all seem pointless.
My friends will occasionally give me encouragement, but rarely any meaningful feedback, with the exception of two people.
Yet, when I write fanfiction, everyone who watches me there on my Fimfiction account are like "This is so great! I want more!" If I mention anything about my own characters or original work, they only respond if it's about them going to Equestria, so they're no help.
I don't want to write fan fiction; I want to make games, but there are some things I can't do myself. No one wants to help me, so it seems the only games I'll ever be able to make are fan games. That really depresses me.
I'm sorry for moping and whining. I know people care about me; I just don't think they care about what I want to do.
I guess I'll just focus on XYG. That's a project that only needs a programmer, something I can do. At least then, I'll have accomplished something.
PS: I can't use Skype or Yahoo at work because Skype doesn't support Linux ARM and Yahoo changed their protocol again, so I can only be reached on AIM, MSN or at the end of the day on Steam. Texting is not an option for me right now, either.

I don't have any experience with video game design myself, so I can't be of help, but I wouldn't mind leaving constructive feedback on what it is your planning on creating. For now, I can only wish you better luck.
If you'd ever like some feedback on.. well, pretty much anything, feel free to drop me a line. Basically all I'm doing at this point in my life is making games and pushing my creative limits, and I'd be glad to offer whatever advice or feedback I can.
