I made a minigame that is supposed to convey the frustration of life's distractions while trying to complete a project.

It's called (my) Life as a Game (designer)

or LAAGD, for short.

-> http://www.invincibletime.com/p/laagd.html

Sort of a meta in-joke for the game making crowd, or something. Other than that absolutely worthless.

Have a go why don't you.

Haha!  From what I gather its sort of pointless but IO still spent 10 minutes on it.   Hand Thumbs Up Left Hand Thumbs Up Right

It was a bit too tedious to play through the whole thing (much like making a game in real life), but it was SUCH a cool game. I loved the graphics and the idea behind it.

Yes, I would say this is what my life feels like. I like the girlfriend system.

That was neat =)  I got a lot more work done once the girlfriend left.  She was too much maintenance, lol.

Bugged out on me when I got the computer error. It said "...restoring..." so I went and did some other stuff... the phone rang and I answered it. It still said "...restoring..." at the bottom.

When I tried to use the computer it did nothing and that text was just always at the bottom.

This is so cool! I'm sleeping in bed while it's daytime. Just like a "real" indie dev would do. Will there be day/ night cycles?

This is actually a pretty good game. It would be nice if there was a day & night system.
I just saw the person walking under the car, could this be a bug?

Thank you, I will investigate the occurrence!

Thanks for the positive feedback you guys! I didn't think it would get any. Smiley

Since this is a multiple person request, Perhaps I will work a day/night cycle in for a newgrounds version. There should be a thinky icon for times like this.

(Oh and the car thing isn't a bug it's just hard to figure out when to switch the order of the person and the car so it looks right because it's a 2d engine after all. Shrug)

:D Well the game is fantastic!

I loved how everything was interactive in the house. I have a soft spot for these kinds of games where you can go around a livingroom and touch everything and it reacts back to you. Also, just sleeping in the bed was awesome enough! I ran out of gas and then died walking along the highway because the one girl said "You have a brain use it". I guess I died from dev depression Sad

How do you get a new girlfriend?

Sorry billnit you don't for now. I thought of adding a tiny overworld with a handful of locations. So like maybe the mall or a coffee shop, but the options got staggering and i had to real it in. Perhaps in a remake or expansion one day  Smiley
