Hey guys. I'm Peter, 18, just moved to new york city, going to school for film. (though id much rather sit around and make games haha) Man I don't remember the last time I wrote on a forum. Yeah I grew up playing Amiga games and Sega. My favorite game would probably be the Neverhood, and I've always been infatuated with Final Fantasy IX too for some reason. Lately I haven't played anything really. : (
since I was a kid I made these really elaborate "choose a link" games (idk what to call it) where I made adventures where people went made decisions and went from webpage to webpage. This was really time consuming and tedious, I don't know how I made so many repetitive animations. Later I redid these games with flash, basically with the same "gameplay," knowing hardly any more programming then onRelease for a button. Because this game took me two years to make and wasn't all that fun I kind of gave up on making games, but always had it in the back of my mind for what I really wanted to do. So I guess giving up because I didn't know programming subconsiously made me depressed for the past couple years.
Now I found Construct and am unbelievably excited to start working on stuff. Thank you so much whoever developed this. haha. Even though I was never much of gamer, I always had the intense desire to create interactive media for other people to play. Now I can do the things I always wanted. If theres anyone from around the nyc area, let me know if youd be interested in starting a studio or something. Of course not a real studio, but you know, just sitting around and working on shit with an open mind could lead to some really cool stuff.
