Do you also get discouraged?

I tell you. Everytime I try to make a game I get discouraged.I see all these better games being programmed.
All I can use is frickin' TGF.I try to learn GML but I cant absorb that by teachin' it to myself. The only somewhat
improvement I've made in programming is HTML.That's the only self taught programming I have.I just wonder
if anyone else has a "Habitual" discouragement that happens to themselves erveytime you see somethin'.

Although I've never used TGF, I'm sure it can make great games if you work hard enough. « Last Edit: January 16, 2007, 11:37:00 am by .TakaM » Logged

For example if someone say: "Dude, don't make that game by yourself, it will never get done!" That is a good comment IMO, that means that you will never complete it, which is true 99% of the time. Maybe if you can't program, get into concept artism, moddeling, music composing, etc.... and you can still take part in game makeing. If you can explain a little more what the people said that was discourageing you maybe we could help instead of just agreeing and whining about our own !@#$%. Logged

I wanted to start making a HUUGE zelda game a long time ago, and tried something smaller called Zelda Bomb Squad where you had to diffuse a bomb by answering a question yes or no. If you got it wrong, Link would die in a hilarious way. I never finished it, but it acted as a bridge for me into a land of bigger games. You have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to be born before you can crawl...if that made sense... Logged

So use that, you can make some great games in it. Logged
