Hey, dude. I just found your thingy via the zombox website, reading through the comments of the latest (As of 10/23/12) post.
Anywho, you and I seem to be complete opposites, yet the same.
You see, I'm sixteen and want to go into the game development business, but as a programmer. You seem to want to go into it as a graphical designer. Ha ha. You can tell by how our individual projects look.

I just wanted to say that just because nobody reads your stuff, doesn't mean you should stop. You already know this, I think, but I know from experience that even one person saying something can really boost your spirits. So . . . spirits, be boosted!
I started developing my game late summer last year, and have put in quite the fair amount of hours into it.
Now, viewing the link, you'll not be impressed just by looking at the game. However, you'll notice, if you play it, that a number of script-based systems have been implemented - for example, the game remembers what your score was when you move to the next level, and if you die, your score resets to this value. Also, if you have the maximum number of lives and you pick up a life cube, you will not receive score for it. There are a number of other things, too, but that was just some random selections.
Anyway, I just thought I'd pop in and say that someone now knows you exist and thinks your project looks pretty interesting.
Also, if you ever maybe want to collaborate experimentally on something, maybe it could work. I certainly have enough free time to do so. Just for funsies. :) Remember that I am very much an amateur.

Concisely, I am a sixteen-year-old aspiring game developer who just wants to be good at making (programming, to be specific) games.
