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.
Dang. =(
You know, GM7 has custom Transitions. ;)You know, you could also just release this as an unfinished WIP…if it's good enough. Eh?
