DarkWolf13 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I haven't figured out the custom hitsparks to use for Red Savarin and how to code his second Lv 1 Hyper. And making an actual release announcement because the sprite style used for characters I make for MUGEN are frowned upon by many veteran mugenites. I've been working on him since the beginning of this month.
Arias Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I want to focus on original stuff but everytime I'm doing it some game comes out that catches my interest, and have several unfinished original things stored I mean... I sometimes can't decide what to work on next. also haven't figured how to deal with the change of perspective of leaning planes & circular surfaces to reduce the work load on stages. I know how to do it but need to create something to reduce the input effort to the minimal, for now is too exaggerated. oh and the time....I need more time too.
Legendary DeMoNk@I Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 -The main thing for me these days is my back up lap top. my main one finally died on me some months back so that crippled my creating speed. Im still creating two new characters currently but since my old back up lap top is bad, old, slow. very little memory to download FX software and a busted fan that overheats at times and cuts off my pc (putting me at high risk to lose unsaved work) i cant create as fast as i was before. funny thing is now that ive gotten better at coding to move faster im in a shitty pc situation with horrible horrible speed now smdh -Coding AI with no issues later. I hate when i see dumb shit happening in my character i dont like. so i may spend weeks or hours just fixing it....the worse ones are illusive isolated bugs. it wont appear versus all characters but the scattered few it will and its always somebody finding it assuming you wanted it in there for dumb reasons lol smfh -Game play issues. these days in a certain secret 3rd character im working on its a lil rough getting his signature custom state triggers to work right entirely. im getting it more and more but looking at the source i can see i have my work cut out for me and i cant release it if the main core part of him isn't done right....

Flowering Knight Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 -Usually too lazy to work on stuff *cough*finishing096whoireleasedasanobviousbeta*cough* -Can't find any good sprites for frankenspriting -Don't have any ideas for stuff to add to a character -Very few (if any) sprites are made of a certain character for use during character creation -Have trouble finding sprites for a certain attack http://i.imgur.com/W00cc4V.gif

The Unexpected Visitor Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Namely things that limit creativity such as limited sprites, that can harm your ideas by a ton. That and when you begin to slowly decay into boredom of your own work. lack of ideas, and lack of other people's interest at times.
Neo_Fire_Sonic Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 all i need are dam sprites and i'm fucking set -play gaem, gaem iz kul
DuckAzz Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 -Sometimes when I see some undumped bootleg video game which is really great,I'm going to be angry and start doing anything to create it real (but sometimes I can't resprite the sprite from video great and that's why I'm getting angry) -When I lose whole day without any work on computer -When I need to work on one hyper move whole 1 hour because of bugs -When I'm not at home >:( -When I don't have many great sprites well that's all of my problems...
Werewood Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 So, is it safe for me to say, Top MUGEN making hard time: the lack of sprites (Boss Ryon once said, "no sprites, no MUGEN motifs/add-ons/characters/stages) Next big MUGEN making hard times: the lack of time, the lack of interest/idea, the lack of computer hardware co-operation "I still care to share because I believe in Sharing is Caring" - Werewood
GuyZero32k4 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Working two jobs, and being too tired on my days off is one reason. Neither job gives me a chance to work on stuff at work like before. Also, even with tutorials, can't color for shit with Gimp.
Legendary DeMoNk@I Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Also lack of time from outside activities. sleep. work and just life issues getting me side tracked with progressing with the character i may be working on...sprites arent really an issue since i sprite edit the few things i need anyway....

Werewood Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 My Legendary MUGEN friend, real life is always bigger than MUGEN making business. Actually it is bigger than any hobby too! For me, MFFA's theme, "Caring is Sharing/Sharing is Caring" is what makes me keep my MUGEN passion burning. When a real life thing happens, I will try to tone down my MUGEN making business. It is different from the personal issues that I mentioned which should be excluded. "I still care to share because I believe in Sharing is Caring" - Werewood
Legendary DeMoNk@I Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Oh it sure is my friend....I hate when it happens since i get so deep into building a character .But sometimes real life issues are unavoidable to the point where you dont have much time for anything else you enjoy. some weaker issues can be delayed to be dealt with later on but the major ones just have you off the radar for a long time...which in the end of course good old hobby mugen takes a back seat.... so i feel ya man Never limit your imagination as a Visionary
MisterMackey Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 - Frankenspriting - The fear of being bashed all the time. - The fear of .SFF corrupting for no good reason. - Coding something complex such as having your character clone themselves temporarily and having the clone do various attacks. - Coding the Shadow Clone Jutsu. - Trying to be POTS. MisterMackey 1 W.I.P (Will only do one at a time. Sorry.): Status: Currently having someone test it out and fix the mistakes (Besides the missing sprites) I missed.
