Reason for absence
« on: November 25, 2010, 12:27:27 pm »
Hello Guys,

I was planning to post this for a while, but I found I simply didn't have the time to do so.
So well, here goes:

A few months/weeks earlier I created a topic concerning I was going to be absent for a 2/3 weeks due to my exams/vacation.
Usually, after every vacation, my urge to program games returns because I still have a project to finish.
This time was no difference.

So after my vacation, I resumed my zelda project, still having some bugs to fix in the engine I had so far and stuff.
Basically, I started by creating a backup of the entire project by creating a group.
However, the downside of creating a group is that all of the files have to be in RAM.
As some of you might know, OS 2.53MP is a little unstable, and that fact hit me at right the wrong moment.
I had a ramclear during the grouping, losing all graphics and a major part of the engine.
Since then, I did not have the urge to pick up the game again.

I might pick the project up again someday, but so far, my priorities have been blocking me.
Such as,
there are new exams coming up (yes, again).
I recently got into a relationship, which I have to maintain, which is also a big priority for me ;)

So basically, as things look now. I will not continue any major projects on the calculator anymore for a while.
I might release some small games, but nothing really big.

I hope you guys will understand this, and I really do regret the fact that I can not contribute to the community.

I will try to remain active here, but I won't make any promises...

Yours, Ikkerens

good luck!  And also, just because you can't realease anything big doesn't mean you can't continue to contribute.  you can still add to discussion, and you have already released some great games!  ;)

Heya Ikkerens, I was indeed wondering where have you been. I'M glad things are ok, I'm sorry about the data loss, though. That can be very demotivational. I hope someday you restart Zelda and that you can also post on the forums every now and then as it was nice to have you around, but I understand that you have to choose your priorities and school/relationship is very important.

Good luck! :)
