Sub-challenge to PoV’s: How many times I quit/restart?

Posted by

I have a tendency to quit and restart alot.  Okay maybe not.  I haven’t ever really quit anything except for star-catcher, which might could say is just shelved for the time-being.  I’ve already officially started PoV’s challenge, and officially quit, and officially restarted again.  So I make a sub-challenge — Guess how many times I quit and restart.  The one closest to how many times I quit and restart will get a credit in all 3 games I am working on (a 4th project is a port and so I can’t really put you in those credits).  My current PoV Challenge game, my flash shoot’em up, and Hypno-Joe — provided any of these gets finished.  A quick qualifier — This first time I quit and restart didn’t count.  So a zero count means you don’t think I will quit and restart again.  1 means you think I will do it just once from now, and so on.

Here’s a bit of chat that started it:

<Uhfgood> I think I can honestly say that I can get this game, I was working with sgstair on, done in amonth
<Uhfgood> so you know… I might actually re-enter the challenge, provided I can rebuild this prototype in flashpunk in a short period of time
<Uhfgood> I wasn’t going to but because this actually looks doable ;-)
<Uhfgood> mrfun – I may have to end my reign of slacktitude
<mrfun> uhf, is it ok if we make a sub-contest guessing how many times you’ll quit and restart the contest?
<Uhfgood> mrfun – Yeah
<Six> mrfun: I call 6

Good luck, good luck to us all!

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say, inspired by Derek Yu’s Finishing a Game rant (http://makegames.tumblr.com/post/1136623767/finishing-a-game):
