"Retirement"

Posted by Glaiel-Gamer Feb. 8, 2008 @ 4:29 PM EST

I am taking this time to let you know that I am "retiring" from making flash games this year.

It's a busy year for me, with school, and social aspects, and everything else going on, and I've just lost motivation for flash. Even with AS3 it's not powerful to do what I want and I just don't have time time to make flash games at the moment.

I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things, and starting in the fall I'll be attending Digipen Institute of Technology full time, which will leave me no time to work in flash. I'll be learning how to program console games in more advanced languages such as C++ and assembly.

This won't be the last time you see or hear from me though, games are still a hobby of mine and I have a ton of unfinished stuff. Weather or not I get to finishing them depends on many things, but don't expect anything soon, or even ever. I still might show my face on the forums or in reviews or somewhere.

Anyway you've all been a great audience, and this experience has been a great way to jump start my future. I hope you enjoyed all my games as much as I enjoyed making them.

You must be kidding! I mean, you´re defenitely a great-flash coder etc.
It would be really sad if you won´t make more games!

Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:40 PM Glaiel-Gamer responds:

I'll make more games, just not flash games (or maybe very rarely)

In 5 years or so (after college) I should be working on console games full-time.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:38 PM souled says:

Still be on the BBS though?

Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:41 PM Glaiel-Gamer responds:

Ya, a little bit.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:39 PM squidly says:

Sad.
Well see you later.
The only other guy from the same state as me on NG.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:48 PM MorrowDays says:

noes! thats too bad, but in a way, I guess its sort of good to go bigger, if you know you can do better with more advanced stuff instead of flash, then, well, you should!

good luck. :)


Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:50 PM jmtb02 says:

You mean Smash Bros, right?

Feb. 8, 2008 | 5:02 PM Glaiel-Gamer responds:

And that.

(If the japanese weren't such xenophobes I'd try to get a job working on a smash bros game in the future)

Feb. 8, 2008 | 5:17 PM PinballWizard976 says:

An entire year? Wow, that's a long time to not to do any flash.

Feb. 8, 2008 | 5:28 PM Glaiel-Gamer responds:

If by "entire year" you mean this year, then 4 years of college, then 40 years in the working world, then yes it is a long time.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 5:18 PM NeonFlame126 says:

I second PinballWizard's comment.

Feb. 8, 2008 | 6:36 PM Coolio-Niato says:

Good luck with C++. I'm heading towards Java fields myself.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 6:50 PM RubberNinja says:

Good luck with that. I wish I could go study at Digipen, I hear it's great there.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:06 PM Afro-Ninja says:

Hey good luck man.
The console route isn't for me, I like the simplicity of flash and being able to work as a 1 or 2 man team on a project

Feb. 8, 2008 | 8:00 PM Glaiel-Gamer responds:

The simplicity of flash is great, but it just isn't practical for a lot of the inspiration I have nowadays.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:07 PM TheCriminalDuder says:

Aye, I'll be lookin' for your name in the credits under "Programmers" when I beat the number 1 game in the future.
Till then good luck in collage and have fun. I look forward on seeing how much you improve. ^^


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:33 PM Rammer says:

Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:40 PM Prellz says:

Ive had the priveledge of playing your games for a while now, and it's sad that your going to be leaving, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
Good luck with future projects!


Feb. 8, 2008 | 9:25 PM Kenney says:

Good luck Tyler, ofcourse it's sad that we don't get Flash games anymore but you've got to follow your dream.


Feb. 9, 2008 | 12:24 AM JonBro says:

=(

Surely you'll feel motivated enough to fit in a few Flash games. There's still another 326 days left of 2008!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 12:42 AM LilDwarf says:

I wanna go to DigiPen :P Good luck buddy! Maybe you get employed by big game companies like what happened to the guys Valve employed from Digipen. Hehehe that would be a dream come true :) Anyways, I wish you the best and good luck in your time at college.


Feb. 9, 2008 | 6:18 AM NintendoMadness says:

That sucks dude, but I suppse everybody needs to move away from a place that act like kids and move onto proper adulthood. Really nice if you release one more game as a bye bye.


Feb. 9, 2008 | 7:28 AM New999 says:
