Okay, I'll bite.

My first BYOND project was called Goop, basically designed as a proof-of-concept for a very special type of multi-tile mob. The most interesting aspect of it was 1) developing 47-state autojoining, which I did independently before somebody turned me onto Pmikell's startlingly similar but superior solution, and 2) figuring out which parts of a blob can be moved without breaking integrity. Ultimately the project had no game direction, so I abandoned it.

Movement wasn't bad. The engine was actually rather superior in many respects to Shadowdarke's BLOB developed a year later, but since it never had a real game behind it, it couldn't go anywhere. So I moved onto another proof-of-concept, a little something about developing random maps for a conquest-type game. You may have seen that one around. :)

Ah... Well.. I believe my first project was Phoenix Quest.
(Note: Phoenix Quest has gone through over 20 revisions)

It was simple, used RPG Maker 95 grahpics I believe, and was VERY basicly (had doors where you had to right click to open, simple statpanels, etc.).

I wish I had that version, but sadly, my PC crashed about a year after, and all PQ versions up to that poin twere lost.
I only have ONE old version of PQ (which is only the .dmb)

I'm not sure what to do with PQ right now.

Actually, Don't ask me how I got it but I do have an older version of PQ if you want it :).

Fine, I'll bite. >:(

Allow me to introduce the main reason why some people just shouldn't make games.

Problem 1 - I had to rip Shadowdarke's projectile demo because I was too inept to make one myself. I also had to "borrow" the basics of random variables to make a character appear anywhere on the map.

Problem 2 - I never got around to making a character respawn. It just boots you (deletes your mob) if you run out of hits.

On the upside, I made a lil' candle object/turn that I was proud of for an entire 10 minutes. Just bump into it to light or snuff a candle, and it illuminates the surroundings (with varying brightness!).

Also, when I was first figuring out how to make a projectile reflect off of a wall, I came up with a freaky bug. Shoot a wall, and the walls shoot back at you! I eventually rediscovered the bug and "added it as a feature", but the old version of the bug wouldn't stop shooting fireballs until the game crashed.

Shooting a fireball illuminates the path it travels, and does 1 damage. A secondary projectile stays hidden in the darkness but only does .5 damage. All projectiles bounce off of something (other than a mob) exactly once.

If you're shot by any projectile (other than the fireworks bug) your screen rotates 90 degrees. And the wall edges stay normal. Oh yeah. :D

Edit: Don't worry. Karma came back to sting me with a cattle prod. I'm in a C++ programming class!

My very first BYOND related project released was Text City Simulator. Version 1 & 2 (2 is the Current) are the only two released but ended up rather buggy, Version 3 is still in production I'm afraid. Due to that reason, other projects are in production.
