Okay, I''ll try my old approach: Linear story games are not game at all. They are just software toys!!!! So there!

Just a post to say, "Where is everybody?!?!?!"
I was thinking of posting more worldbuilding stuff, but it appears that that''s not a good idea because readership / posts are rather low. (I''m chosing to believe that over the ugly and distinct possibility that what I wrote was so crappy few wanted to read it )

Right... where's my flamethrower? I know I left it around here somewhere...
Seriously though, I think we're sort of running out of ideas, and have already discussed/dissected/thrashed said ideas to death. We need to go away and actually implement some of those ideas, and see if they actually work.

Actually, this is more true than I''d like to admit. I see this as more true for the design forum. I expected that there''d be tons of posts on stories and worldbuilding and character creation and such here, though. But I guess it''s not so different from design: If you don''t have a game to apply it to, it''s pretty hard to keep going.
Oh well, on to implementation!!!!

How long ago did you post, Wav? Most people use the default "show posts from last 5 days", and GDNet''s been down alot the past week & 1/2 or so. . .dunno, could be?

You could be right. Maybe I''ll try again.

I check out game writing once every 1 or 2 weeks and if something pops up that i can offer some knowledge to or interests me for learning then you''ll see my face Most stuff in game writting interests me little unfortunately. That''s my feedback for the issue.
A designer doesnt need to know everything about code, they just have to have an appreciation for its limitations and how those limitations affect features they may wish to include in their design. - Drew

Unfortunately, that is the way most of GDNet is going. Nothing is really interesting. We have to create our own interest now. *sigh* I remember when I was an unknown and I could barge into all of the well known genii''s conversation with my 2 cents, but now I have to be the genii (as do many of us) to come up with the interesting topics. Who is cut out for this job anyway?

Seven replies here and not a single reference to Bones or JTK. Well, I just took care of that, didn''t I?
Damn it Jim... I'm a .....
I was going to post to this, but thought that it might bring about the usual banter of quotes from all sorts of seedy cult movies.(which I happen to love). I can see it now, Monty Python quotes, Evil Dead quotes, Bad Billy Murray flick quotes, and a slew of other quotes from movies that will live on an on an on.
My ravorite quotes:
"Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.", Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness.
"What did you do now Ray!!", Ghostbusters
"Damn it Jim, I'm a Doctor not a {insert profession here}.", Star Trek
"Next one of you primates... even touches me.."
"Clatu Verata Ni... Nickle, Necktie... Its definately an N word."
"They wanted me to stay with them, to lead them, to be their King.."
Ok so Bruce Cambell rocks and this post has really trailed off into never never land. Hope everyone has a good night.

ps Did you know Ash fired 31 shells from a single barrel shotgun without reloading. Lets see Arnold do that. I rest my case.
