Making a Game... Anyone else trying it?

I have several stories and ideas that are always floating in my head and even most of one book finished… though it has taken me years. Is anyone else into making a game or just a story for that matter? Music, artists, planning, translation, storytellers, programmers, ect. I was inspired when I heard how the making of this game came about, that and its an awesome game, has anyone else felt inspired?

I've dabbled in the past but never succeeded.

Not overtly keen to try either but I'm happy to give a second opinion on any ideas you have. In other words just trying to find holes to savagely poke until they tear.

I'm currently making a fangame of I Wanna Be The Guy.
But that kind of game doesn't need much plot. The plot is just an excuse to dodge spikes and shoot stuff anyway.

I'm still in the middle of making a Psycho-murder mistory visual novel.
It was inspired by Katawa Shoujo, Yume Miru Kusuri, and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

Currently writing for a top secret VN project with Delta and VCR.

I can't tell you any details, but it's about lobsters.

I made a game in RPG Maker XP a while ago, and part of another game which was more messing with what I could do with the engine than anything else. Since then though, I found out that my copy of RPG Maker XP wasn't legal and I can't spare $60. So I haven't worked on anything since then.

I've been trying to get into Inform for a while now. Anyone more familiar with that?

I wanted to do something short to give it a try, but got halfway through trying to make a sprite and gave up D| Maybe some day!

Yeah I am waiting for winter break to work on both my Japanesse and writing my books. I think I wrote myself into a corner in the end and have to start over from the start to get a better idea of how I want the storyline to go.

I have a project with a suitably badass name on my computer, but I can't draw worth shit. I may write it up anyway, pack it full of public domain stuff and put it up somewhere if I ever get bored out of my fucking mind.

Yep. I'm good at writing, baaaaaaad at drawing.
A VN ain't worth shit if the user's eyes are bleeding, y'know?
If I could get an artist to do some sprites, I might be able to get this off of the ground. Until then, I've got a script in the making.

Was going to try making a renpy game based on a story I'd written.
Problem is, before I could make a serious attempt at starting on it, my computer went KABOOM on me. Now I'm stuck with this ancient Compaq desktop which can barely run its own OS, let alone Photoshop and the other graphical tricks I wanted to use.
Oh well, at least saving up to build a new PC is giving me plenty of time to perfect the storyline. Silver lining in the cloud and all that... :wink:

Good way of looking at it. I hope to write more of my stories after this semester ends.
