Ah well, live and learn, am I right.
I'm debating about whether I want to continue with this run. It looks like I may have something of a demo, but it's not likely. If I do, it'll just be a little car driving around on the screen. Not very fun. :-P

I've learned something about myself, though.
I learned that my forte isn't crazy ideas, but solid code and reasonably well-polished gameplay.
That said, I also learned that I want to give genres other than side-scrollers a chance.
I think my next game will be a shoot-em-up. I like top-down shmups, and I think that's fertile ground for me. :-)
My thought is to challenge myself to develop something ambitious in a week.
I have a concept for my game, but I'll reveal it when I've got it fully articulated.

Oh, and Custom Robo is a series of games for the Gamecube, and there was a sequel on the DS.
There were a couple back on the N64, but they were only released in Japan.

Custom Robo is what? (i don't know it - found at wikipedia it's a nintendo gamecube game?) don't worry about games of cars around screens - the very first arcade game i played (those black and white ones, from late 70's) were just like this - but i forgot its name, and didn't found yet info about it (even from MAME screenshots and timeline lists)
