Hey everybody, I'm leaving BYOND becuase I'm just frustrated with this now. I feel stupider and stupider everytime I try to program something. I'm out. And if anybody wants to know what will happen to my games, I will put them out on open source with details later once I put them up and online.
Bye.

I will be waiting for your return... I will make sure to keep the website and message boards going for you too. But please do not put bash on open source!

Instead of putitng them up open source and having millions of clones around, I think I will have a little auction. Right now the only one up for aution is super hero bash.
Starting at 10 dimes. The highest bidder will get it. -ST | |
I'm very sorry to hear that... I've seen some good ideas coming from you. I do hope you come back... I think most people who self-learn programming do it in phases or waves. You climb so far, then you hit a plateau, go away for a while and come back, after a while, everything you learned before has sunk into your subconscious and kind of been internalized, and you can start climbing again.

It's a shame to see you leave. I hope you'll come back soon; people just need breaks now and then.
I'd like to suggest you don't sell off your source code just yet. Wait a couple of weeks. It might be that in that time you'll decide you'll want to come back--if not right away then in a month or so, however long it takes--and when that time comes you won't want to have parceled out your best work.

Hey, See ya later then, I'm sure ya will come back after a lil break, like everyone else has mentioned in the above posts. This is just my opinion and ya don't have to take it, but your game is worth more then 10 dimes I think :-) See ya around...

You'd be better off just holding onto it. You might catch and overwhelming desire to come back and work on it in a few months, and if you don't have it, you'll be in trouble :oP
Been there, done that. | |

All things considered, regardess of how stupid you feel, keep in mind that you're still a lot better than most people around here are. Even if you're not what you think of as an "elite" programmer or something doesn't mean you're bad at it. Just stick to things you know how to do, and you'll pick up the rest little by little. If you come back to it after a bit, you'll realize that you know how to do things that frustrated you a while ago. | |
POST THIS QUESTION ON THE FORUM DUMBASS

Look on the bright side, you got more responses than me :). I myself really dont make games anymore, only go on the forums and post in babble. I tried starting/re-coding some of my games, but as soon as I see the code or a blank list, I say "aww **** (give you a hint, begans with a s and ends with an w) it.". I just consider byond allot of things which I wont say here because it would possibly anger any of you here, although it doesn't have anything to do with the words you all know as "cuss". Really, it's not that easy coming back to something in which you hate just about everything of it, nad if it makes you feel stupid, then it is very hard to come back to it. I think that putting the game up for bid is kind of a good idea, or else it may be deleted or forgotten and thus a even greater waste of time. | |
I think one of the bigger problems with BYOND (In my view) is too much emphesis on community, and not enough emphasis on game-making. People seem to be more interested in keeping the forums in order and all that than they are in actually fiddling with code.
Ideally, I'd be happy to sneak into the shadows and work on my game in the background, then find somewhere where I could give people a way to join it. I don't need to have anything to do with the community here, I just stick around because I usually don't have anything better to do. (Hopefully that will change, and soon.) BYOND is an excellent program to have around if you're the impulsive creative type, like me. BYOND is the best program I've found for just building things on a whim, or not. If I feel the desire to make something, I can make it. Outside of the program, I'd honestly rather avoid the community, and I plan of fading into the darkness sometime soon. (Can always release things in the background, if I feel like it. No need to be in the public.) I didn't come to BYOND to make a name for myself as a programmer or a graphics artist. I came here for an easy way to build stuff that I want to build! I don't need or want any unnecessary obligations. | |
Cya!Please come back soon!

I came at first just to program, but now I have been sucked into the community, and I like it. I spend just as much time in the forum debating issues as I do programming and playing games. I like to be able to come in here and see familiar names and be able to act like a family. But that's just me.

Hey everybody, I'm leaving BYOND becuase I'm just frustrated with this now. I feel stupider and stupider everytime I try to program something. D'oh! Who's going to test DDT games now? Well, I can sympathize with programming frustration -- I get it myself. I hope you'll give programming another try in the future (I thought SHB was good from what I saw of it) and if not, I hope you'll at least play some BYOND games! :) | |

People are sociable. there are rarely any non and anti-socials in the human race. while i kind of stray away from talking to many people. It also encourages people to work on it. I think that's the reason I stopped coding games. BYOND is an excellent program to have around if you're the impulsive creative type, like me.

It's a good thing you didn't post this string on another message board for another programming language. jsut a funny though I had, not saying what your saying isn't true though.

I don't need or want any unnecessary obligations. I can understand that, but there are just some minor *ahem* problems that it causes me when typing code. | |
Aww... sorry to see you go.
Maybe if you take a little break, it will all seem easier when you come back to it.
Don't be a stranger.
