I need repairs

For those of you who does not know that much about me, I play Team Fortress 2. Sadly thou, we're in the middle of moving and I'm stuck on one of those mobile internet things, so I can't really play. But I spent the weekend at my mum's, and she has a great pc, compared to me (I'm on a laptop, so TF2 itself is a strain).

Anyway, I played the Pyro a lot, and then I broke. I was holding B on Gravelpit, while trying to earn myself Attention Getter (Ignite 100 enemies with your Flare Gun) and Hot Potato (Air-burst 100 enemy shots (Rockets, Grenades, Stickes... I think I reflected a Flare once)). Anyway, I shouted for Medic, and thank the gods for the Medic that came. All of a sudden I got a Crit Boost, and for some reason (I guess it was the stress, since I were constantly assaulted by Soldiers and Demomen) I thought it were from our team capturing the flag. Anyway, about a second after it started and I got my mind right, I jumped off the platform to flame one of the enemy Soldiers. As I gleefully watched the CRITICAL HIT text rape his personal airspace, I understood that my Medic had a Klitzkrieg-charge on me. Turning to kill the Demoman a few steps away, watching him burn and then finding ANOTHER Soldier to kill! Running up to him, and may his soul rest in peace. Then it hit me. I was still charged. I just got a three-kill combo in a single charge.

That's an achievement. Due to the natural lag of achievements and such, I was a able to watch as the message popped up. I also got the Pyro Milestone 3. Then I broke into maniacal laughter. Too bad I didn't have a mic at hand, or the server would've known. I think I was laughing for the better part of a minute. I think I became broken.

Then I died on purpose. I wanted my Axthinguiser, after all.

I never got it.

I was (or am) chatting with my friend "erika_92" and was reminded of when i started using Game Maker... That was like... about six years ago, i think.

First game i made was one i made in school. It was called "Stenlabyrinten" (Stone Maze). You played as a stick figure (no animations in the game ofc)... well... He kinda looked like the letter K spun 90' clockwise and then with a ball on top of him. You walked around mazes and whenever you touched a directional rock (a big boulder with an arrow on it) it would start moving in the direction on it, stopping at the first wall it hit.

I remember my friend Alfred, the guy who showed me game maker (it was v5.3a at that time) who gave me his comment on the game:

"I didn't even think you would be able to make a worse game". Well, it is kinda odd as a comment, but hey, it's positive, and now i got a blog. Thanks, Alfred.

Hi there again! Time for an update from me. Sorry about being so dead here, it's just that i haven't had any ideas. But now i'm working on a new project. It's called GoDss. (pronounce it any way you'd like, I just say "gods")

Okay, so the story behind my inspiration is kinda short... I was chatting with a friend, and decided to Rick Roll him. Since his internet won't allow Youtube for some reason, I decided to Rick Roll him by... Game! So I threw something quick and messy together, and then we both fell in love with the adorable main character, which is actually nothing more than a 6 frame long, 8x8 sprite. And mirrored.

Well... I can at least throw up an image for you of my project. Well, I don't want to tell you too much, but i promise the whole game won't be in black and white. But considering the original rick-roll game to be, I'll probably throw in the option, just for fun.

The game is based on Matt Thorson 's platform engine, Granny Engine. It's awesome. It even gave me candy.

Warning: Brainstorm imminent!

Well... I had hoped that I'd be able to come up with an idea on my vaccation in spain (which i haven't, yet)...

So...

You guys help me! Post an idea about a game (however, i won't take your "A mosquito just flew into a fan on my window. Someone should make a physics, based game about that").

An idea, make a lousy paint drawing of the hero, ANYTHING. Please, it would be awesome to mash together all your ideas into a game. Cause then you'd be sure to get what you want!

PS: If you feel like it, you could send some GML (v 7) scripts, maybe i'll implant them.

Who knows?

So, i've made a blog. And incase you didn't notice, you're reading it. We'll see how this turns out.

Oh, and for those of you who were following my previous blog, i'll be more active here, since i didn't really like the last one. Oh, and it fucked up bad :3
