Getting past pathfinding is a hard task but when you finaly do ,a whole lot of restriction falls away and its smooth sailing from there on forward into game developement which is what were really after ,so i congratualate you for sticking it out especialy since you had to do it all on your own , its such projects that keep us inspired

sivan, that's pretty cool! Looks like your secret dream project is an RTS?  Or is it a secret, never-before-seen game that just happens to need that kind of AI and pathfinding?  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Thanks for the feedback! There's a lot of putting things together right now. Can't say that this is particulary motivating work, but comments like those make it easier!  It's just that I have a stupid way of working. As soon as the part isn't "interesting" anymore, because I have solved the main issue, I just... stop. I have to force myself to finish stuff. Instead, it piles up and all those little things have to be added in the end all at once. Take that editor I posted before, for instance. Now that this is working, I don't add convenience features anymore. For instance, I want to add an option to change the order of nodes. It's super-easy to do, with no challenge. But I just... don't do it.  People, tell me I'm not the only one with that problem! Now: Encrypting and decrypting music so that it's not trivial anymore to get the tracks (and all that without pro!). I'm not pretending that it's super-secure (it really isn't), but the goal has always been to only make it more difficult than recording the "Stereo Mix" ingame - which I believe this does, for most users. The thing is working already, and I can live with the slowdown the encryption causes, but my tool of adding new music to the library could probably be a bit nicer to use.  Oh well, can't have everything!

Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.
Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!

It's just that I have a stupid way of working. As soon as the part isn't "interesting" anymore, because I have solved the main issue, I just... stop. That's absolutely my way, sometimes, I wasn't even able to finish a work for university, means, write it down, once I understood the given subject!  What a mess! A good way to get motivated is when you have some people who depend on you finishing the thing. For instance I extended my GameEditor for a friend who uses it for a simple question-answer-game that is presented at sort of games convention. http://www.stadtbibliothek-bielefeld.de/5007.htm

@Error014: Looking awesome. Even before the next public version, it could be cool to have a VioletTV countdown on YouTube and IndieDB for the release, as well as some important announcements. Then once players get their hands on the game they'd be quite pleased to see all those announcements and countdown episodes available from within the game from the get-go

A Valley I'm working on right now, This is just a lighting and composition-test. I'm not satisfied because some things look a little off, but well I wanted to show you anyways. Maybe you got some ideas on improving this scene? Greetings Roxas

You should try to saturate all colors quite a bit.
