It's not that I procrastinate, I just get tired of making it, not as much fun. The fun I have in scripting and eventing is making things work and making them work perfectly (Although I have yet to do the first one in scripting and the second one in both XD)

RPG Maker is just a whole lot harder to do than people would think. Making a game that is totally your own and stands out is really hard work and needs an unbreakable work ethic.

Well Im still young.
I want to at least finish one game before packing it up.
I don't want to learn C++ for nothing.

I find it fun to do, but I'm too into my Wii right now...I knew this would happen sometime or another...
But yeah, my game, I have like seven maps, it's using a side view battle system, and it's hard to find sprites for them...I would make some...but....

I've been trying to hunt down scripts, but I've been waaaay too busy this month. (Plus, most scripts ((Or a lot of them)) only work with the default menu system and default other stuff)

I'm 100% set for sprites. I make them myself, but I don't want everyone being like "OMFG, MAEK ME A DEMON WITH ORANGE WINGS THAT HAS 34693406934 SORDS N IS ANDS." And be all bitchy about it. :\ Making a game takes alot of determination.

Programming is the worst part.
I wish I could hire someone but I'm not going to waste my money on that.
I have to buy a car before I get my permit. I only have 2 and so many days left.
I need a job badly.

i made one shitty game a really long time ago. The fourms are more entertaining.

hmmm...my friend who works in a grocery store tells me that those who work in the meat&dairy sections of the store get paid more than the baggers and cashiers...or become an understudy at a local college's medical program, I hear doctors and trainees get paid a bit more.
you need a car before your permit?  my parents let me get mine using the family van...hope you do well on your driver's test when you get to it.

and on the hiring thing...it's never really worth it unlees the idea is well underway or is unnaturally good/guaranteed to be a hit.  I might get hired to be a sprite-sheet spriter for a game-creation program (made with Game Maker lol), but the pay is per game sold, with an initial payment up-front and then nothing til the guy makes it back, then the installments per game.

And I'm just STARTING to make games, but I've technically spent more time on the forums, even though I just downloaded the program and just signed on here today.
