Hey Everyone, It's been so long since I made a post, Been so busy I ahvent looked at this site in ages.
Does anyone else have the probolem of loosing interest in a stoy?? aside from a lack of time, I ahve a major lack of motivation. any suggestions for a cure???

I too have that problem, a last, I don't have a cure for it though. Sorry.

You just gotta tough it out.

Yeah cept, that only works til you mature enough and are able to critique your own work to realise im right :D

No offense :P

I wont :P

No way it will have twenty storylines.  But I also mentioned that it would definintly not be the longest game on the site remember?

Ha Ha Ha.

I believe I saw either 800 or 900 a few days ago.

Don't try making an uber-long game.  It'll never happen.  Look at me for example.

actually, i think any game over 700 pages is too much, then the player is playing the game gets tired of playing it. if you were to have a 600+ game, it needs to be consistent with interest, as well as plot, and must not be linear at all...

Well, if you can make it long, have a standardized way of doing things, and has new content, it should be good.

Thank you havvy, finally someone that understands how funny people are when their always saying "oo mines the longest or best"

Length can create bordom.... Its content that I feel people should focus on more, adn if the content is detailed, thorough and worth while It will have the potential to be long one and a good one.

Well, two examples of that would be Karacan's game, Magus I believe; and Madglee's game, Mother, can I go out and kill tonight, or something like that.

This coming from someone who is stumped on a game.

I'm not stumped, I've lost interest, plenty of ideas without the motivation to type them.
anywho, I'll just wait till the phase has finished and I feel the motivation again.

I know, truly hysterical indeed.

I think the best way is to make a game YOU won't get bored with. I've started about about 1000 games and deleted 990 of them published 6 sucky ones and am working on a 4 game series thing. Just do what is interesting to yourself not what others think is interesting.  Like myself. I made horrible games. JJJ always says they were sucky and they were. But Hell, I could care less what he thinks. And I will care less what he thinks when the new series comes out unless it's good

Excuse me for saying so, but that makes no sense whatsoever.  What is the point in publishing what you write if no one will enjoy your work?  I haven't written any stories yet, but I wouldn't have bothered with the Tolkien quiz series if I found that no users here read Tolkien.  And also, why would you wish to write anything of which you couldn't be proud?  You say yourself that your games "suck".  Why would you write a story of which you wouldn't want to say, "Jimi_the_Z wrote this!!"  I don't understand!
