Never wrestle in the mud with a pig. You'll get filthy and the pig will enjoy it.

I Miss You Guys

Posted by rockymike - May 25th, 2009


I see this Power of 3 thing and I'm like Woo! Then I realize I am neither and artist, programmer or musician. I am a writer and graphic designer with competent animation skills.

The thing is, I happen to be friends with a musician and a programmer, so it is completely possible to assemble a team. They're too busy with having kids and working other projects and being generally excellent in the real world. I am the same, unfortunately. I realize with my annual summer workload that I'll never be able to release a summer project, or be part of a collab.

I was just thinking how excellent Perpetual Workday would work as a game. I can envision it being much like Double Dragon but in an office building. And instead of beating the shit out of gang members you'd be kicking the shit out of accounting. EVIL ACCOUNTING

My only regret in life is that I didn't discover Flash five years sooner. It could have been my life right now, instead of something I try to squeeze in between freelance projects.

Anyhow, Perpetual 2 is moving along at a trickle, but a trickle eventually fills the cup, so that's the best I could hope for.

My free/flash time seems to always return in September so it'll get done by year's end. And it will be excellent! That being said I'll stop talking about it. It seems that the projects that I hype up always seem to be positioned for failure.

If only I could make a game...

If only...

....yeah

Hey man, no need for regrets, you're learning it now and that's what counts.

I've seen people who've been able to learn Flash and do amazing work after only about a year of learning, so don't get into your mind this early on that's it's going to take you 5 years to learn, or else it will! :P

The problem really is that I'm likely as good as I'm going to get now. I just wish I was this good five years ago, when I had time to really crank out some stuff.

Thanks.

3 erics from accounting? they look identical and have the same name? is this Pokemon?

They're triplets from a mother with short-term memory loss.

Eric from Accounting, use Receipt Storm!

Counter with Magic Debits!

Oh man, the Eric from accounting thing made me laugh so hard.

Thank you.

Any time.

I miss you too. Hopefully you find some time to animate for us.

Some day. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but certainly the day after that.
