Alright, just keep it cool man... It's just that we're so early in development we should focus on programming and development, and I'm more of an artist and writer than a programmer. It's my life dream though, so I am dedicated to it, it's just I'm not sure what to do next... Probably try animating a couple sprites. I have an unorthodox development process in mind though, it's... something... I've been mobbed by the game developer community once, I'm certainly not letting it happen twice... P.S. Well I have faith in you. I think I'm sick of hearing Sonic fans saying Sonic is "dead". As for "saving the franchise", it is exaggerated language, but really, it only makes sense in context.
Don't worry. I have your best interest in mind. This is how things are with fan and indie games. I've learned to strive to be more and more independent of others. If you are lucky and came across great people, by all means keep that bridge. Sorry if I came about as an ass
*Phew* Well that's a relief. Anyways, I'm going to see how much I can squeeze my own work in while still letting others to shine. In truth, I have a programmer on my team so dedicated to the project it's making me ashamed of myself of how I'm not contributing enough.
