  • Take this video in a positive manner. The burn out means I'm stressed, but not spiralling. Things are continuing, and I'm continuing to get a better handle on my health. I'm mentally ok, but I need to do something else for a bit for my own sake.
    Don't expect QR2 updates, Revo's will continue. Game Dev is hard and I gotta keep a handle on my health, both mentally and physically. There is no point in passion projects without passion, and I'll do my best to keep said passion.
    FWIW I opened the source files for both MaGMML and QR2 in the past few days to do the "boring stuff." They're not dead, but not everything in Game Development involves making stages, bosses, and content, y'know?

    TLDR: I'm rather extremely burned out in a variety of ways, 2021 ended very stressfully for me and my family - and 2022 is already showing its hand in general. That makes things difficult, I'm more or less pulling back from most social media, and game dev projects are going into a "still working on them but nothing to really show" phase. Except Revo, which previews will still continue for, but there's a backlog of things to show off there.
    But the good news is, after several years of being unable to do much in terms of recording - that barrier's gone - plus my wrist strength continues to improve, and I really want to do some of the things I've really missed doing, especially since I have a better handle on my physical limitations.
    But don't worry too much about say, QR2 or Revo... or even MaGMML. I'm still doing stuff for those, and as dull and boring as some of the recent progress has been, said dull and boring stuff does allow me to oh, say, rewatch the entirety of the DC Animated Universe again, so its not exactly unpleasant to work on.
    In spite of the burn out, I'm fairly positive mentally, and I've got support. I just need to reboot.

      And to show what I mean by the dull and boring stuff: I recorded this the day after I'd finally finished and gotten done what has proven to be one of the biggest bugbears during Quint's Revenge 2's development - something's taken far longer to implement than I could've expected and that was so obnoxious and tedious to actually resolve it's been utterly demotivating. And. It's done.
      So, no, not canned. Far from it. But the tedious stuff is being done now so I can get back to the 'fun' part when I pick it up more regularly again.

      So, ACE, I've been replaying all MaGMML games recently. I love this series. One of my favourite ones among MegaMan fangames)))
      Anyway, I actually wanted to ask you something. I am interested in whether or not your opinion about some levels from MaGMML2 changed as time passed or maybe it stayed the same.
      To give a personal example when I first played it I agreed to pretty much evetything but now my opinion on some levels has changed:
      - My *favourite* level is still SheriffMan. I've liked it when I first played it and I still like it)))
      - My *least favourite* level now must be Sector Upsilon 6! It is WAY to open and labyrinthine. I used to hate Yggdrasil. And I've raged a lot on that level. But now I see it as just an annoying level with stupid design.
      - The level that I would have placed higher if I were a judge would be obviously SheriffMan, because it deserves to be in Top 10 in my opinion.
      - The level that I would have placed lower if I were a judge would be Komuso Temple. I am not saying that level is bad. However, as I've seen from judges' comments, the level ended up this high mainly because of its aesthetics and main mechanic with rising and lowering platforms, which in my opinion are a bit janky. However it's still a good level.
      So yeah, this is my personal opinion, on some levels. But what is yours. Is it still the same or maybe it has changed? And if it did, how exactly? What levels do you place higher or lower now?

    Take your time, with a lot of things. I've waited this long and i'm glad to see how far things have come, Revo Remix really evolved too might consider making that my third Blind LP on my channel after Freedom Planet 2 (whenever that releases) So I can wait a little longer. After all, taking care of one's health is more important (I know it should go without saying, but the thought is there) All I can say is thanks for all the past, present, and likely future updates whenever that happens, your effort does show. 👍

    late to this but I understand
    2021 was a rough time for because I spent my time in the summer with a broken leg following a motorbike accident, so hang in there, you can get through this like I had, in the present I am all fine now

    I remember the biggest issue and complaint of the Corrosion Bubble (Acid Bubble) is the huge fire delay.
    This makes it very hard to aim at speedy enemies and the damage output was so underwhelming in comparison to the other weapons in the original game, especially you can only fire one at a time.

    Well, at least Mike (among others) handles the bulk of the workload for Revo Remix, so you won't need to carry that burden entirely.
    On the subject of burn outs, it would be nice to know how Rock Force's GoldmanDLS has been holding up. He hasn't posted much since last year.

      Yeah. He mentioned that he needed to take care of life things before continuing to work on the last Rock Force Update. I wonder if he's back to working on the game now.

      @Mr Dudley and @ RetroPixel27, No one in the comments section has shown any impatience, and Ace doesnt mention once in the video that people are being impatient. That USED to be an issue in the past (years ago when the old version was close to finishing), but it seems to have improved vastly. I'm sick of people like you guys who try stirring the pot when there's nothing to stir. Grow the hell up.
