I have at least 10 horrible games in my portfolio. They're bad partially because of a lack of programming skills, effort, and thought, and partially because I was too young to realize they were horrible. I hope I'm not the only one who released a bunch of terrible games before I finally made one I'm proud of.

I made one bad game, and then 2 good games, and then another bad game, and then another good game.  By good, I mean people liked them.  Ive never been satisfied with the quality of any of them

i'd say about 2, that depends on what you mean by good. my third game was actually pretty good, and still one of my favorite things that i've finished and released. although it wasn't really played by many people, i definitely put the most effort into it out of all of my games, and it shows.

i dunno, all my games are horrible to me and great to me in different ways

i also don't know whether i should count finished games or unfinished games

but as a rough thing, i made about 5 unfinished games before i made a game i was proud enough to show other people on the internet (it was also unfinished though)

and i made about 20 games (only about 3 of those finished) before i felt confident enough to make a commercial one

I have finished about 5 projects that I didn't release because they were awful.

Ha ha lets post about how people are all obsessing over post count and how noone says anything worthwhile anymore and then post in this thread! Hell, it doesn't even have to be a sentence it can just be a number and it'll be just fine.




So, let's everyone work to make this forum a better place!

Same with me. Two of my games got terrible reviews, and really the first 4 had teething problems. But the next game, The Count of Monte Cristo, will be my masterpiece. Smiley
