Where are you in your project right now?

Setting up the background. And no, that isn't referring to background story or information. I am literally setting up the backdrop for a one-scene project. If you think that should be easy, then boy are you misinformed. First, this is in Construct 2. Why? I have no idea, I just felt like it, I guess. Second, I'm not letting myself simply throw something cheesy together and leave it at that. And so, I've pulled together this. It's not particularly good yet (and it sucks balls if you don't have WebGL, because I haven't finished setting that part up), but it gives a basic idea of what I'm after. It also rapes people's framerates, so I'm going to have to put in an auto-adjust to kill some of the worst offenders when fps is too low. (Weirdly, it performs best in the most recent IE, as opposed to the most recent Chrome (which refuses to use WebGL for my project) or the most recent FF. (which is sadly the worst of the three now, despite using WebGL when Chrome refused.))
 
Finally finished my single actor menu (thank you for the item screen Drago del Fato) for my upcoming suspense-horror game "Flatline"

Also, already have my "Man or Monster" Karma system finished, all of my custom menu graphics are done, I've put together a pretty damn tasty tileset and have started work on the soundtrack (bring on those aweful displaced chord progressions)

All in all, the game looks like it will just need a couple of bits of code sorting out before I'm ready to start mapping and eventing properly and I should have a decent sized demo within a month or so...

...beta testing the full game within the year maybe?
 
Nobody was interested in Afar despite some breakthroughs so I'm moving on to something else again and am back at square one. Hurray, the cycle repeats!
 
Having just heard about a $10k RPG Maker contest starting June...

... I'm considering dropping my latest project and making one for the contest.

...shit.
 
Having trouble putting pen to paper (metaphorically speaking). Had this inspiration, and have the idea mapped out in my head, but it all looks awful as a game.

I may be able to help, what do you need?

I don't have much of anything at the moment to be honest. Ill try and piece it together.

well if you need anything, I'm always free to help out... this is a community after all.
