Sorry for all my friends for disappearing like that for all this time. I had a devastating experience that put me in a depression for the last 2 months (my very first depression -_-).
You see, I'm a big believer that during each person's life he/she gets tons of chances to achieve their dreams. All you have to do is to be ready and to be "best" when that chance comes. There's not point of getting a chance of you can't take it.
I had that chance, and it was taking away from me I was hired for a job that I've been fighting for, for the past 8 years (and when I say "fighting" I mean 8+ hours of my free time for the past 15 years), just to get fired the day after. Not really fired, just un-hired -_-
Long story short, I was the only one from the applicants that had none of the "job requirements", mainly a college degree, and a resume. We were tested over and over, and I was on the very top every single time. They were so impressed they asked me to start work the very next day. When I got to the office the next day, I was informed that someone from top management didn't approve my contract because: "He wasn't even supposed to be there, he had none of the job requirements". Everyone I've met there kept sending me their apologies for days -_-
I was really crushed. It was really unfair, and not even in a "life is unfair" kinda of fair
I was so depressed, for the past 2 months I haven't left the house, talked to anyone, checked any of my messages, or even looked at a computer since. It was so bad my father and brothers staged an intervention (and by intervention I mean a guys' night out ).
But what really cheered me up is something that happened last week. I met one of the guys that interviewed me for that job. He told me that that position has not been filled yet. They were so impressed with me that I raised the bar so high none of the applicants could match up.
Made me feel a bit better, and I've been feeling better and better ever since. Now I just want to go back to my old self and have fun making more games
Got me a new laptop and it will take a few days to move all my stuff to it (the old one was so old it was deemed absolute after 1 month of buying it ). After that I'll go back to work.
Cheers

First Commercial Game. Project Swordplay: Wolfpack
Update: May 30
Uploaded a bit of an old video on our youtube channel. It shows the first time viewing the assets in the game. You get to see Teer-sa in White Stage.
-------------------------
Well, I guess it's time to make it official.
For those who've been watching, two colleagues and I decided it was time to make our first official commercial game. We ran out of excuses not to do this anymore :P We had the skills, passion, budget and dedication. We just needed to stop being afraid :P
Fare.is.Fare Games was formed. It's based on the (only :P) thing we all agree on: Its 'fun' as long it stays 'fare', no matter how far you push it.
And a
DragonBlossom need more people
DragonBlossom is moving forward and needs more members on board.
You would think dA would have a way to repost other work and journals :/
This is the Game Leads journal:
And this is the journal that got me on board:

Open for coding commissions. (updated)
Update 01/06/2015:
Yes, appernatly I commsion for free now :P
The only reason I added a commission rate so to strike out the ones who aren't serious about their projects/dreams. I didn't want to come back to inbox filled with requests from ppl who don't know the first thing about games, or gaming for that matter (you'd be surprised :/) I guess I was aiming to high >.>
Ah, who was I kidding? I'll help out just because you ask :P I just wanted you to stop asking every 10 seconds if I was going to charge you even after I've told you a 1k times that I was helping for free (yeah, you know who you are :P)

My first official 2D game: High School of the DOT
Update: 04/23/2013
--------------------
OK everyone. Thank you for your support and patients :)
Our game is up. Please feel free to give it a try:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dojinhotd/files/latest/download
Controls:
Directional buttons: Move
Space: Attack
The goal her is survive as a long as possible and achieve a high score. You don't loss by losing all your health, but only if you run out of time. So aim for the nearest exit/door :P
You get points by clearing a room (300 pts), killing a zombie (100 pts) and saving the Doctor (200 pts).
I know they all have the same looking health/energy bar, but they don't all have the same
