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.

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.

Virtual Pet Game I'm Making

[Image: dyoxlc.png]

This is what I have so far. I've barely even started, and I expect this to take me atleast two years to finish. If you take a tamogatchi, Southpark humor and nintendogs and mix them together, the result would be my game. Its basically a virtual pet game for guys. What you see above are the sprite animations I have so far. I plan on making a ton more, like walking, running, taking a shit, scratching his head with his leg, lifting his leg up to piss, sleeping, etc.

The object of the game is to obviously take care of the dog. Clean up the shit he makes, and spoil him with items you buy. You can take him on walks and chase the neighbors cat around, and play a lot of minigames. He can even find himself a mate and occasionally gets herpes (which you have to take him to the vet for).


I will have a border going around the screen which looks like one of those Giga Pet keychains. The buttons on the computer screen will push down as you push the buttons on your keyboard. I even have a transparent shadow going along the screen of the keychain thing for realistic effect. I'm still working on the boarder and will add more buttons and speaker holes.

I plan on releasing this online to various places.

Please criticize and ask questions!

also why can't I post images?

I've gotten back to working on the game. Here is a scrolling background. I'm not quite finished with stairs yet

I added speaker slits and finished the buttons

I am now working on the walk cycle. This is the most challenging thing I've encountered so far. After a few failed attempts and almost giving up, I've decided to "rotoscope" (aka tracing) the walk cycle from an animated gif of a dog.
