Ok, with the job hunt going BLEH and me getting nothing out of it other then too much interview experience, I had an idea... Use what money I have to purchase a license for a video game engine called Game Maker 7 and give making my own games a try. Granted, this engine isn't top of the line, and my arting skills SUCK, but I had an idea for a game that could very well be fun fun...

Basically the general gist of it would be a online multiplayer top-down tank combat game with 3 sides fighting it out. Each side (likely red, blue, and green) would each have a flag, and the goal is to get both the other team's flag to your base without loosing yours. Sounds simple, but with enough people, a creative map, and an ability to communicate, this simple game should be quite fun.

Now, I would distribute this game free of charge (likely finding somewhere to host the files and linking it here), but it would instead run off of donations... For you see, I have no job, so this may turn out to be my only source of income right now. If you can't donate anything, thanks for playing, enjoy the game. If you can though, it would REALLY help me keep working on the game, making it better, and perhaps one day making more games.

However, the catch is that this can be a rather risky move, since I'll be working off of donations by people I don't know, as well as my own skills as a programmer/artist/etc. That's why I'm asking all of you here watching me for your opinions.

Should I give this a shot or no?
