I am only 13 years old, and have little to no experience in most game related fields (music, graphics, etc.) I am also very new to the OHR, so making a quick, complete game should help further my skills. Everything I use in my games is usually 100% original so I feel it is necessary for me to do as much as I can to better my self in each field. Any criticism given will (more than likely) be taken into full account. Starting this sunday I will post updates (and demos) of Moonlight, I would appreciate it if you try the game whenever I release it.

Game development can take a long time, especially if you like to do other things (*cough*). _________________ TheGiz> Am I the only one who likes to imagine that Elijah Wood's character in Back to the Future 2, the kid at the Wild Gunman machine in the Cafe 80's, is some future descendant of the AVGN?

You can make epics after you have more experience.

If so then that would be one of the reasons I am now working on just one game.

Well, I would stick to one *main* game, but if you want to enter a contest or make something to take a break, you can. _________________ TheGiz> Am I the only one who likes to imagine that Elijah Wood's character in Back to the Future 2, the kid at the Wild Gunman machine in the Cafe 80's, is some future descendant of the AVGN?

It has only about two minutes of gameplay, but considering I have a title screen and a good bit of graphics done, I'm satisfied! Here are some screens: The game is really short right now, but I hope to have at least 8 minutes of gemeplay on demo 2.

The only real flaw in this 2 minute demo is that it is somewhat buggy when entering areas new areas, most notably passability goofs in some areas. _________________ TheGiz> Am I the only one who likes to imagine that Elijah Wood's character in Back to the Future 2, the kid at the Wild Gunman machine in the Cafe 80's, is some future descendant of the AVGN?

Most of that will (hopefully) be fixed in demo 2.

It only has about 30 seconds of extra gameplay as it stands. But demo 3 WILL have: -Music (Original) -All wall bugs fixed. -And, hopefully another minute of gameplay.

Hopefully the minutes you keep adding will collect and become a couple of hours. _________________ TheGiz> Am I the only one who likes to imagine that Elijah Wood's character in Back to the Future 2, the kid at the Wild Gunman machine in the Cafe 80's, is some future descendant of the AVGN?

Quote: Really, original music? It's neat that new users would try their hand at that too. Thanks, but I can't promise you it will be good. I'm going to be away from my PC for a while, so demo 3 will have to wait until next sunday.
