thank you, I was thinking of just letting it lie but though I should be open

Bit of a rant below:

Honestly it got to the point that I'd post, get a notification, get excited and then see it was for this one, or be doing a rp and see the notif was from this one and be disappointed, I mean I appreciated the support but I put time and effort into cooler things that made me happy, just to be reminded of this project and how it got more support and all the requests these people had for something I didnt have the time and software to produce.

I will never give up on game deving for myself and my skills in coding but if I'm honest, Microsoft make code is so buggy and prone to crashing and loading so slow that not only did the entire game (aka the title screen) delete itself multiple times and I had to start from beginning a few times, but I couldn't have any other tabs open and had to save so often and it's fine if you make small games

Maybe someday ill share different games that I'll make for fun, but the scale for this project is something that it can't handle.Im gonna learn diffrent types of coding when I have free time, I was watching lixian (a really cool YouTuber, game maker, animator and markipliers editor) do visual coding In unreal 4 for his horror cleaning game and since I'm a very visual coder and coding is a hobby that I don't have enough time to learn "proper" coding for, it seems like a good option!

Dont get me wrong, Microsoft make code is alright for people who have used scratch and want to make cool pixel games, it's easyish to pick up, you can add extensions and you can switch it between blocks, java, and python coding and you don't need external software, it's on a browser etc, but if you want something that can make a game bigger than a few levels, it'll take ages to load, it'll crash in weird ways eg

-all your assets randomly dissapear

-leave it open in the background/have to many tabs open, it can just crash

-refuses to save

Etc.

So yeah, thanks for the understanding because I was tired of trying to make something work when in reality, there were so many factors that just would've made it really hard.

Again, if you want to see things I'm incredibly proud of, I occasionally post on my art account (@a-clown-draws) and probably will post more soon because I've been working on a few pieces that I may post and many ideas for art! And maybe I'll incorporate some pixel art now that I'm steering away from the game itself.

Big announcement :(

I'm sorry to announce but I don't think I can continue with this project, I don't have the time and I don't think it'll be up to standard, I'm sorry to everyone who is disappointed by this but thinking about doing it weighs me down and its a huge weight and the immense guilt of keeping yoy guys waiting with no answer, and I don't want to do something that I don't enjoy anymore, as it would turn out lower effort than it was always gonna look like because the software is awful.

But, if you still wanna see stuff like pixel art or little pixel Animations of wizardblr, I will, at some point, incorporate that into my account that I enjoy maintaining, @a-clown-draws,

Again, I sincerely apologise to anyone disappointed but it's best for me and it was never gonna be great or anything, maybe one day I'll re-look at a wizardblr game thing, but as of now... I am sorry.

DEV UPDATE

Slowing down development till April-ish (when I'm getting a laptop) as I'm really busy and unmotivated, I thank you all for your patience and shall reward it with implementing more complex things when dev resumes, I am just so tired as my life is going wild, thank you again.

[a-mushroom-dev]

do you like waffles, pancakes, or french toast?

Out of those three I've only eaten pancakes so pancakes

[a-mushroom-dev]

Ill think about it!

Bored and ill while coding, you know what that means...

ASK ME ANYTHING AND ILL REPLY!*

*replies may not be what you want or may be a refusal, t&c's apply, please ask responsibly

currently doing a bunch of asset design so yeah.

[a-mushroom-dev]

Have learned a fer basics but not enough to have a valid opinion

(I code in blocks that can be converted to java and python and vice versa)

I want to start getting further into coding but I am not sure where to start (all I've done is lessons on code.org). I've heard people say python is good same with java but I'm not sure :|

i havent learned any language fully, im using microsoft makecode arcade which gives you the option of python, java or blocks, and whats cool is it converts betwwen them,

[a-mushroom-dev]

Other then fantasy what genre of game do you think this will be? (like fantasy scary or fantasy adventure or fantasy romance ';])

adventure RPG sidesscroller platformer with a lil romance

[a-mushroom-dev]

can you throw microwaves in the game?

not yet, im almost finished with the character select, then ill get to projectiles

[a-mushroom-dev]

Any funny stories about stuff going weird? As a beginner coder I have run into a few problems in my past coding projects that are now kind of funny (like funny dumb)

there was once this time when i as developing a diffrent game for practice, and id set up the controls and speed, but forgot to code the person to stop, so they just flew off the screen very fast it was really funny.

[a-mushroom-dev]

What did you not expect going into game creation?

honestly, the amount of interest and also that people love it, and how much its changed and that, for once, i actually know how to code everything i want to do

[a-mushroom-dev]

the program i use is Microsoft makecode arcade, more advanced scratch, you can code a game and then you can see it in either python or java, i would only recomend it if you are on a compute/ have a mouse and keyboard, it crashes alot so save, its kinda easy once you get the hang of it, if you want to learn proper coding (something i havent fully done) id reccomend either books or youtube tutorials, and then if you are starting at the begining, use scratch, its fun.

looks great! much better than i could do! /pos /gen

Because it’s a coil, and it’s hard to show depth in a pixel drawing

*sounds of rage*

[a-mushroom-dev]

as of yet, the french are not planned to make an appearance, but may exsist in the world of the game

*deep inhale*

-limited pixels

-(for me) limited colours

-something round is hard to make with squares

-need thin lines to draw it normally

-if you drew it without shading its just a rectangle

alot of reasons

why is pixel art of a spring so fucking difficult
