Hey, thank you,! I woke up and saw my question ‘downvoted’ by mute cowards and wanted to just give up… (why are people here, uf they downvite unanswered question. To make someone elses time on this planet just a little harder for no reason?
Well I appreciate the info,. I wish I could find these unexpected game killing problems before I spend months writing, building, lighting, animating and recording dialog… This is the 3rd 80-90% complete game i have ‘shelved’ after coming up against exactly one impassible limitation that makes release impossible and continuing foolhardy… I wish I was content with making small or predictable games, or ‘shooters’ (shudder)… but 25 years working in Hollywood (before moving to San Francisco 2 years ago), I prefer to tell stories, create adventures, rather than merely slap a gun in a hand and say: Have at it!
Oh man… I really wanted to release this, there are not enough sci-fi worlds out there that are somewhere between too dark/dystopic/depressing and too clean/bright/boring.
However, it is nice, relieving, to confirm I am indeed wasting time and set this silly dream aside.
Maybe I’ll sell my 3 partial games and say ‘Instant unique massive world with intact dialog: Just add code, for exactly one thing, that should be simple.’.
Maybe I could add Patrick Swayze ‘Ghost’ movie physics, and eliminate all character collisions, you go through walls, unless you use your energy to GRAB ONE! LOLOL. ;")
Thanks for responding…
