Quest for video games

For quite some time now I have been trying to create video games.  I have made some small “toy” games (blackjack, quiz program, ect.)  and started a few other projects as well.  I have always been side tracked, distracted, found something new and great to try, ect.  I have also joined several on line groups, discussion boards, forums, to meet other like minded individuals to bounce ideas off of and draw inspiration from.  I have noticed a shocking trend while perusing these online communities.  Oh so many hobby game developers do the same things.  One prime example was a blog that I was following where the writer was creating an RPG and documenting the entire thing.  His last blog entry said that he was moving on to some other project even though that one was unfinished.  While looking over some of his other topics in forums and such (we had crossed paths at several intersections) this was an ongoing trend.  IT ISN’T JUST ME!  To celebrate this fact I made a new game last night. It is a small Hangman program.  Not big, not spectacular, but it is almost finished.  I have also decided to revisit some old projects.  New ideas, new knowledge.  Should make for some interesting steps for old games.  Also I have decided to put the 3D adventure on the middle burner for a sec.  I was getting in way over my head way too quick.  It is not on the back burner cause things there rarely make it to fruition, but it is not on the front burner cause I need a little more knowledge, know-how, and experience programming before I can do anything non damaging with it.  Expect hangman on the website any day now.  Till next time. Enjoy!
