RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

I has cool game idea

IN PRODUCTION

Sorta. I have most, if not all, of the basic sprites for it done. First a description:

Story- Do want, help me out here.

Gameplay- Like that of Cave Story combined with Super Mario Bros 3. It's a basic shoot'em up with multiple weapons and ammo types. Yes, there will be ammo, but it'll reload passively or all at once when you run out. Also platforming. Cool bosses that actually TRY to kill you instead of using faggoted patterns every second. Semi-smart enemies that make an effort to chase you instead of stopping after a door gets in their way. Maybe online play if awesomeness permits.

Graphics Style- think Mario 3 modern. Is awesome.

I have two "basic characters" done, but the way I have them done makes it easier for me to make more. I have one type of enemy done that's it's own unique sprite (It's a black four-legged lobster thing that shoots lasers that do OVER 9000 damage)

Re: I has cool game idea

it sounds good. the idea of bad guys actully going after you is cool.

life is just blah blah blah. we hope for blah, and sometimes we find it. but mostly its blah. and waiting for blah. and hoping you were right about the blahs you made. and when you think you just got the whole blah damn thing figured out, and your surrounded by the ones you blah. death shows up and blah blah blah.

Re: I has cool game idea

I like the idea of bosses that try to kill you. I've been playing Castlevania: SOTN and most of the bosses are predictable. The RE bosses are too. The Metal Gear Solid 3 bosses, however, don't follow a predictable pattern though.

Re: I has cool game idea

The Boss fight in Metal Gear Solid 3 is awesome because it's completely hand to hand, and she fucking pwns you for trying to use weapons.

But yeah. Later I'll actually animate some of the sprites I've got so I don't look completely stupid. I've been making this stuff since I was arrested, for lack of anything else to do.

These are the basic guys I mentioned. There's more than just these walking sprites, because there's like holding weapon sprites, shooting sprites, holding rifle sprites, sitting in a chair, riding a hover bike, etcetcetc.

If you hide yourself well enough, she won't be able to see you, and you can snipe her in the head. That only works for a little while though.

Re: I has cool game idea

Snow Camo and Kabuki face, right?

Anyway, here's a concept I guess I can propose.

You play as a recon soldier for a rebel army, and you're supposed to investigate an abandoned complex to see if it's safe to occupy as a base. You and your team activate the power grid to advance and investigate. Your team gets killed by the rash actions of your commanding officer, and you are the only surviver.

You're trapped inside, and you can turn off the power gird.

So you have to adventure around gathering passwords to activate and destroy the area guardians and security measures to advance to the central core and the final Guardian of the complex so you can get your ass out, and bring in some of your hackers to make the base safe.

Yeah, so I was thinking metroid's super epic exploration deal with this. So naturally, you'll get a lotta weapons, upgrades, and key items. I figure I could add puzzles, but I don't know what kind of puzzles you guys would want. Ideas?
