Ball Attak Update

Posted by Kulor on March 29, 2007, 3 a.m.

Oh, what could've been.

Ball Attak has been canceled for the foreseeable future. There's just too much in Game Maker that I can't do, or can't do without bloating the game up to epic sizes. True that it was probably about 90% done, but honestly I was never going to get it done anyway. I mean what, this has been in the works for 4 years now? Maybe if I work on it for another 3 years, I'll get another level done! I've been way too slow with this.

A note to fellow aspiring game designers: PUSH YOURSELF TO WORK ON IT CONSISTENTLY. That or work with a team.

The final nails in the coffin:

-Lack of innovative ideas for the remaining 3 levels

-Lack of level flow

-No custom room transitions

-.NSF loader is impossible to figure out, any other chiptune format is unsupported and would have to be .WAV

-My Slowy McSlow-Slow approach!

So what's next?

Very good question.

You know, you could also just release this as an unfinished WIP…if it's good enough. Eh?
