No More Games.

Posted by SinclairStrange - November 29th, 2013


As the title suggests I've sadly had to stop making games for a while, maybe possibly for good but we'll see how that goes. I've had to go into the real world and find a real job now after graduating university last year. Full time jobs sadly zap away any time for creativity so with that I'll be most likely hanging up the hat for a while. I know hardly anyone plays my games so it's not a big lost but I just want to post this just in case some people report me missing as I've not uploaded/made a game for an age. Sadly there isn't any money to made in these little flash games unless you're mega popular, superduper talented or uber lucky and I'm neither of those.

So that's just the bit of news I've got, it's nothing much but that's basically what I've got to report. (I'll try and finish off that Cathode Raybots de-make and Sole Gunner Mini for next years "NG days" but I can't guarantee it.)

(And if anyone asks, I'm working at a store and studying for an apprenticeship in military design work (hopefully going through the process stages of that at the moment.)

Ur games are so cool

This is a shame. I have to say your games are a great mix of originality, fun, and difficulty, and they actually feel rewarding when completed, unlike the plethora of shitty games that make it in the portal on a daily basis. But this is obviously more important. I wish you luck.

And I was just playing Alien Splatter yesterday, thinking how great it was to know there were more games like it on the horizon, given the posts made in the last month and all. Huh. :o

However this rolls out, don't lose your passion. I lost mine at some point via a combination of constant factory work, then an inability to reconnect once I finally left. So I be serious when I say this: don't lose your passion. In the hours when you have nothing but yourself in a room, passion is what keeps you alive and willing to continue living. Please be well. :(

Man, this is sad news indeed...
Your games really are top notch, and something special that you don't see very often on NG, or anywhere for that matter.
You've got to be extremely talented to put that much detail, precision, and TLC into games like you do, and I don't say this kind of stuff easily.
As JoeSomebody2 said below, "don't lose your passion", because it's extremely important that you don't because it truly is what makes you thrive and feel alive.
Anyway, I wish you much luck with your future endeavors, and hopefully we still hear from you down the road.
Take care man, and thanks for the great games!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

But seriously, your games really are some of the best NES-style games i've played. This is sad news. I hope you can get back to making games eventually.
