A good (bad) example is http://mm.soldat.pl/ where it’s been years since he started working on his new project and keeps posting stuff on bogus zen self-help practices, death metal, arnold schwarzenegger and sometimes ragdoll physics. (though i do hope the game is actually finished someday)

I’m not sure about connection between talking about our projects with procrastinating it. Can you describe more? Since honestly I’m currently procrastinating on my self projects .

To the point – it may look extremely generic. I’m not saying it is, but someone who comes here the first time (especially without knowing your other games) might just see another retro remake, and there’s no shortage of anonymous action platformers. I think spreading a video (on various sites, and not just here) is probably a good way to go, possibly with catchy music and a few good lines introducing the story, condensing the overall mood of the whole thing. Flashiness and thoughtlessness is not, I admit, the spirit of your games; but that’s the point, you need something to hook people with. Once people start playing the game they’ll either get it or go do something else, since it’s not like they bought the game anyway.

As for platformers, well, they’ve been around for ages, but the number of platformers I found enjoyable is rather limited. And this is one game I would actually enjoy playing, if I hadn’t created it myself.

However, if you’re still gonna stick to the original concept in the second game, then I can wait a little longer for that. Either way, the major thing I’m looking forward to is the plot of the game rather than the gameplay itself. I’m afraid I can’t speak for everyone who will play P.32, and my “instinct” tells me that a fair portion don’t feel the same way. A lot of people may have been looking forward to the RPG-style you originally had in mind, since platformers have been around almost since the dawn of video games.

I’m trying to rile up interest in your games, though. Several of my friends at college have computers and I’m going to talk to them about playing these games. They’re on the same level of weird as I am; perhaps not the same plane, but definitely the same level, so it shouldn’t be too big a challenge. I’ll also see if I can’t get them to “advertise” a little as well.
