#5 - Ethereal Masters & future projects

Mon Jun 22, 2009, 4:16 PM
So after a long 7 months of planning, coding, design and false hopes, Ethereal Masters was finally completed and uploaded to both Newgrounds and, of course, deviantArt. I guess I should feel proud, but I can't help but feel this game is a failure. Two of the three principles of a good flash games are missing; simplicity and stimulation (the other being versatility). I guess I realized it too late. I was blinded by my desire for sponsorship (which I didn't get, bummer) and my irrational love for Tetra Master. That's not how I'll become a great game developer! *slaps self*

Anyway, I'm still rather proud of myself, I mean, it's not like this game was totally bad, it still has some appeal. I don't think I'll make any more card games though, not in flash anyway. I've been thinking about it today and I know exactly what my next game will be. Remember Jackal on the NES? Think that but with actual objectives, more action and fully customizable. That's all I'm saying for now ;)

In other news, gotta move out of my college's dorms in a month and I'm afraid to find myself in a noisy, dirty and lonely place, I'll make it through though; I found out I can't get my driving license this summer so I'll head for the scooter one so I can at least drive a motorized vehicle, that's better than nothing and it will be good practice for the real thing anyway; and since I didn't get any kind of revenues for my game, I need to find a job even more, and I don't want to sound pessimistic but jobs are really scarce around here so I'll need quite a bit of luck.

I just hope next time around, things will be more in my favor, even though I've been saying this for like 5 years =/

sorry, I just don't consider shapes drawn in ms paint worth posting on an art site.
