5% of the climatic level, including cutscenes. It'll go up super fast once I get really going.Sammy_P wrote:5% WHAT DO YOU MEAN
After people stop talking about Demo 3, yes. But it'll be worth my next game.Sammy_P wrote:SS01: USER FEEDBACK?

You constantly seem to be quitting on projects people like in favor of projects that have better plot and characters, only to get bored of the plot and characters because you know everything that's going to happen already and thus lose interest...MyNameIsKooky wrote:Not exactly.

Slightly off-topic: Last night I got an awesome idea for an awesome new game which has an awesome plot and awesome characters and awesome EVERYTHING.[/ego] I might make a topic about it some time after I release Demo 3, depending on whether or not I can draw a decent human.
I never said I am going to straight-out cancel ET5. It'll still be in progress, but probably either with longer gaps of time between each demo or slower progress. And maybe, ET5's development might be faster. The only reason it's been 3 months since Demo 2 was released is because I've been getting too distracted and lazy to work on games.Nobody wrote:You constantly seem to be quitting on projects
The main problem I have with Evil Toaster's story is that I'm constantly having to fix plotholes I created from laziness and I have to hang lampshades due to unusually botched character development.Nobody wrote:projects that have better plot and characters
I'm not just going to cancel a game that I've dangled in front of this forum for months. The plot for ET5 still interests me, but actually making cutscenes for the plot is my least favorite thing to do. In fact, I probably spend more time making cutscenes in this game than anything else. I've spent all day trying to tackle Chapter 3's cutscenes.Nobody wrote:only to get bored of the plot and characters because you know everything that's going to happen already and thus lose interest...
I actually still don't know what I'm going to do for Evil Toaster 5's ending.Nobody wrote:Thus, you should make a game with a purely improvisational plot which puts the characters into situations the resolutions of which you don't know. If you ever start to plan to much ahead, add a random subplot out of nowhere.

Me too, the reason why my games come out slowly is because I test too much. I usually test once I add a new enemy/gameplay object or fix a bug.MyNameIsKooky wrote:I actually still use Drag and Drop out of bad habit, although I do use actual code when necessary.
Eh? I'm like, always online.Sammy_P wrote:*mynameiskooky is online, everybody gathers around the campfire*

I used to suffer from the same thing. Now I only let myself test once I finish making an entire level or cutscene sequence.Sammy_Bro wrote:the reason why my games come out slowly is because I test too much. I usually test once I add a new enemy/gameplay object or fix a bug.
Post New Years Revolution: TEST. LESS.
