PTw ver 3.0 will be the last one

[RareScar]

Okay. Here is my post about what I am going to do with Ptw, the game. I am not planning on working on it after version 3.0. I gave up hopes of it going strong or anything all my friends have been telling me about. Why? Well, I will start.

First of all, it takes loads of time making an update and taking care of the game. And trying to be on all the time since no one gets on anyways and Admins dont get on neither. I am not saying its their fault. They are involved in other things which are way more important than my game. They are involved in personal issues, other games that...again!, are more important than mine, and I do accept that, and well, its they free will, they do not need to stay on the game if they dont want to...same with the ranking thingy...if they dont wanna rank it...hey!, dont rank it!

Anyways, I cannot take care of the game all by myself...same with Rau...he cannot take care of the game by himself. I am just going to quit with Ptw. Another game which is going to be in the buttom of nowhere, like tons of other games in BYOND. It started as a copy (I do not deny that), then became original (deleting the copied source), then it got somehow known by people. After a while, it just got down because of some staff members leaving, they were the ones keeping the people coming and going and coming and going. They kept the game alive. After that, everything got solved(between me and them), thanks to God and they already made another life doing different things. I respect that.

Anyways, I am not going farther with this, I am just making the post letting people know I am not going to work on BYOND anymore since I got tired...in many ways. I am not also posting this for people to go to me like: "Oh my GOD! Why did you do this? Keep working on the game!", cause that will not going to work on changing my desicion. For the moment that is all I am going to say. Thanks for all the people who have worked hard with me, and I am sorry this has turned to this. I will try to repay you all for what you have done for PTw (Pokémon Twilight).

Why do you give up? I don't see the point. You made the game, lets say, alive again, since you added that 20+ area, people like it more to join. A little kitten grows up, to a big tiger. So does Pokemon Twilight, But it isn't a tiger yet. Its like a teen now. Not a baby. You added many things to the update, and i must say, its awesome. Really cool. Look at Tazzy. XD She keeps keeling the pokemon there. What you just made, is a promotion for Twilight, But than why do you stop?




Hey, If you're that tired, You know you CAN ask me everything you want. If you ask me to icon something, Than i'll get something for you. (Yeah, I've ripped the Pokemon-Emerald-May.Where you asked for. But now you stop, Can i delete it?) That May icon was for you and your game, I like it to make people happy, and i don't even need Credits. I do it for fun, and to make people happy. Like i said, you can ask me everything you want, I like it doing icon work, so ask me to icon a Leafeon for the game..And I"ll get ready for it, And all the coding, Just to say this: Take it easy, take a Sisi. But don't take a sisi this time, take it slowly. You don't HAVE to work on it the whole day. Do it when you feel like doing it. We can wait. I can anyway, I Got no problem with that.

Anyways, I cannot take care of the game all by myself

You don't have to. Ask someone for help. Ask me. I'll be there. For you. As a friend.




Also, I wanna say i really love the game how it is as today, if you're really going to stop. And hey, About the members leaving, that wasn't about Twilight. That was something personal, You know that, Rare. And like MissMeMe, She left with Wes. But she came back. Oh, and did you know that Wes was online on your game? Everything's alright again..

I am not also posting this for people to go to me like: "Oh my GOD! Why did you do this? Keep working on the game!"

I'm thinking like that right now. You came so far, More people joined. And last night someone told you something. 'Rare, I like this game, its good!' Don't give up all your work.. (For the next update: Can you please do something about the titlescreen? ..I don't know why, but it takes me 5 - 15 minutes to login..) I don't have something more to say, for now, I wish you good luck.

Ok, I must say that i wasnt very active last weeks (Busy on school and my girlfriend x3).
I was planning to be more active on byond from now on again.
And yes it does takes a long time to make a update so its better to do it on your own speed then doing it to fast.
Anyways if you need me and im not on PTw you can always IM Me,

But hey just dont give up.
Keep in your mind: My friends can always count on me, and as you know you are my friend.

(I also need to have a talk with you in private)

And also, Since its the last version, so to say, whats the topic on whats coming up?

Leana basically said most of what I was going to say.

Now, I just found out about this whole "last version" thing today while I was logged on PTwi. The game that PTwi is now astounds (sp?) me. Compared to the times before conflicts arose, this game has made leaps and bounds. The map is the best I've seen so far. The battles system is better-than-ever. And today, before I found any of this out, I decided to get more involved with PTwi. It's true that I have a life of my own and there are some thing that are just more important. After all, senior year in high school and maintaining a job are no easy task for anyone. However, games like these are what we work on and spend time on in our free-time. I'm sure updates are no easy task, trying to correct bugs and errors in the coding of the game. That's why (going back to Leana's point) we're here. The staff isn't here just to moderate the game. We're here to lend any help we can, no matter how big the challange. I ask you.... no.... URGE you to continue this game rather than end it. This game is the product of hard work paying off. As time progresses, with continued hard work, the game will get better and better. If time is a problem for you, then make it clear to everyone that updates will not be near as frequent. After all, noone is going to die if an update hasn't been made in a week, so time should really be the least of your worries. No good games out there today started off with what they have now. If you get information about their history, it's filled with problems, difficulties, and personal conflicts, each of which is crucial to a game's developement and tests the games' staff and players to the fullest extext. Good games will push through these times and come out the other side, damaged or not. Games that are poorly staffed, not adaptable to conflicts, or both will crumble and die. We're in the thick of those difficulties, the time in which will determine wether our efforts were either well-worth it or wasted. These are crucial and hard times that are ahead of us, but I firmly believe that we can pull through all of it. I see more potiential in this game that I saw when I was Admin. I already have ideas that can help this game take off, but if you leave, how will my ideas help any? What will the staff do if you leave?

Now, as you said in your post, none of this may even budge your decision. Whether you stay or leave is up to you and there's nothing I can do except for explaining how I feel about it. However, I intend on seeing this game through and if you are going to leave, don't let PTwi drown with you. Hand it off to someone that you trust so that its potiential may be reality in the future.

In case you got lost in all my typing (which I tend to do sometimes lol), here's the breif overview of what I just said:
- Hard work pays off if it is followed through with.
- All good games have a hard history.
- It is vital that stick together for the sake of the game.
- The game is more than just a game. It's the product that its creators can be proud of.
- PTwi has more potential than you may realize.
- The staff is more motivated than you may think.
- If you must leave because of real-life related issues/events, hand it off to someone else so that it may be continued rather than thrown away.

And most importantly....

This game may have had its roadblocks, but we're smashing through them. Why stop when we're on the brink of unvieling (sp?) its true potential?
