The be perfectly honest, me and my friend were recently working on a "Rockman clone" game, with a lot of our own elements.
And by working, I mean that we gave up somewhere after designing the main character and some brainstorming about the world and plot. Well and the gameplay mechanics too, we had them outlined.
I even suggested we post here something ONCE we have something to show.
But alas, it ended how it ended.
What I'm trying to say is, if you want to make a game, especially alone, wait before posting something on a forum. Be it asking for help or whatever, because not only does it make you look like a pitiful and wasteful dumbass, who does not know how to do anything. But it also means that if you give up, and you most certainly give up, you will waste the time of those who actually signed up to work with your project.
Meh.
