(Sep. 7) - Yep, I'm terrible at finishing...
I'm sorry to say it, but it looks like I won't be finishing Solar Plexus, at least not in this iteration. I base this on the fact I haven't opened the file to work on it for what is now exactly a year.
I really regret doing it too, as I like the idea a lot, and had a whole lot of different "purple blocks" already made, but it's not my kind of game to work on. I really hated working on every aspect of it, I'm not sure why. I think it's the chore of building so many levels meticulously, whereas an action game like Noitu Love 2 has much more varied designs that constantly change and keep me motivated. I often go too big, and this game isn't really in the genre I'd play, were it not my own game. it would probably have fared better did I not make it on my own, too!
I will upload what I have for people to play. I might remake it all someday, but I wouldn't go back to an aged engine made in a different program by now. I'll still leave Solar Plexus in "Projects" for now.

Download #2
Now, I have other projects and ideas I've been working on. I often go too big though... But I'd like to ask you guys to drop a comment anyway telling me what you'd like to see!
Thanks, and again, sorry...
EDIT: Please listen, people: I don't hate the game, I hated working on it. That makes a big difference.

OMG....I'm so serious Konjak....I just beat all the levels....I can't get enough Solar Plexus....finish this project or remake it...keep the same protagonist and idea...only one change. Make an animation when shooting bullets and maybe a health block. Awesome level deisgn and approach...to trash this would be a disaster....
Congratulations!, is a great game! The boss battle was very original, and fun too! Thanks for make great games! =) (sorry for my English, I'm not speak english very well)
Konjak, i advise NOT listening to the people that keep saying "FINISH IT!" because (unless you only make games to please the player) you would just be tormenting yourself until you finished it.
Note to everyone else: If you payed any attention, you would notice Konjak also has other projects going on. If he were to work on SP, that would mean less time for the other stuff!
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
the piano theme from solar plexus is pretty.

LOL....confrontation....Give KONJAK a chance to make something out of his normal genre...that's the only way he'll be able to make a solid game instead of multiple projects being trashed, plus confidence to become more creative...he was on to something good with SP and I give him much props for his idea. Encouraging him to not finish the project is only providing the idea to continue making incomplete games...I say finish it Konjak when you ready....
It kind of sounds like you're saying to give me a chance to make a game in the only genre I can make. It's not about that at all, and it's getting annoying.
Yo Konjak,
I think you're making a good decision here. You've got a real talent for faster paced action games, and any time redirected towards that genre is a good move imo.
ps: <3
clearly i was missinterpretted. either that or im just plain stupid. Sorry for annoying you konjak. Just trying to help, but i guess i majorly failed, seeing as i also majorly fail at making games. Dont bother listening to me. My advise is clearly useless.
All i was trying to say is that if you dont want to make the game, you dont HAVE to make the game. I know that i wouldnt. then again, im nowhere close to you because
A) im a dumbass
b) I suck at computer
c) nobody knows me.
so yeah. sorry for annoying you. do what you want. meanwhile I'll work on my stupidity issues.
Also, im not bashing myself. im simply telling the truth.
Okay I lied, I was bashing myself. I have that problem. Let me start over...
Konjak, it seems you misinterpretted my message. I wasn't exactly saying you SHOULDN'T work on SP, what I was trying to say was that you DON'T HAVE TO work on SP if you DON'T WANT TO. Big difference. I've been know for having trouble with getting an idea through to other people. Once again, I apologize for my being annoying. I feel ashamed for bothering you.
