Things that are permanently dead:

1) The Golden Circle (MZX 2.51 blew it up)
2) Zinna
3) Ae
4) Recluse
5) mmm! pineapples (replaced with a better cutesy idea)
6) Sondra the Succubus (infinitely better-suited on a different platform)

Not like I'll ever finish anything, period, but hey.

Goes to show even Koji knows when to quit.

Also, that's another reason why I wouldn't give a proper list--because it would effectively act as a statement confirming that said projects are dead. I don't want to that =p

Well to be honest: The games on this list aren't necessarily dropped. They are just failures. Chronostodian has failed plenty of times, over more than a few iterations.

okay these aren't failed, but rather on hold. i hope...

1. castle of zokor (still hope to complete it, but it needs a MAJOR revamp. the hat will stay, though.)
2. forest of zokor (yeah, still need to MAKE it. yayz for forest environments.)
3. caverns of zokor (okay do you sense a theme? this one's a simple transition sidescroller that's totally unnecessary except for a small plot line.)
4. fortress of zokor (the supposed culmination of the 4-part series. some sort of rpg.)
5. quest (sort of a zelda ripoff. still working on engines.)
6. idiocy 2 (okay yeah this one is failed.)
7. that other big 4-part trilogy that i never started on. well, maybe quest would've been the first game. i dunno...
<Tox> bah. I may as well give in and shop australia. D:

I didn't think that Plehn was stopped. :)

Also, I have a bunch of unfinished games, like Obliqe and Script Overlord. Most are really short games that i've never talked about, though.

I think that it would be neat to exchange incomplete games with other people.

Back2Basics

A game with currently no _real_ plot (yet) that involved climbing a 100 floor tower of small rooms using clever puzzles with built-ins.

The Impossible Quiz - digitalmzx edition

Anyone ever played Splapp-me-do's Impossible Quiz? This would be the same deal, just featuring questions that require insane knowledge of the DMZX community.

Basics2Back

So you've made the top... Now you jump off! This would be a remake of the Yoshi Touch & Go! engine.

what

Cameo RPG. I thought up the whole damage+spell engine, but it's just a small calculator.

Way too many to count or even make a top 10. Search "Journals" for "Insidious"

I have more dead projects than most people have skin cells.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

Your passive aggressive trolling irks me something awful. Suck on this ry0sucky (lolz schoolyard name calling).

"Sneaky like a BAT!"
To lie is to change the truth.
..Ignorance is to be unaware of the truth.
....Incompetence is to be unable to grasp the truth.
......And escape is to run away from the truth.
It is useless to run, since the truth is right next to you.

My games in the archives were only my small little petty projects. All my other projects were just way to big to complete. I'm working on several of them still such as Super Mario, Zelda and Dragon Warrior. So basically all the unoriginal projects will get done before anything else.

There's a couple small games I'll be posting soon. Small games that i started a long time ago, that would require zero effort to finish. I'll probably post those before winter.

I could also just release demos of everything.. but that's just too cliche with this GCS community.

I'd say my only fully cancelled-with-no-hope-of-return project is Rumours.

MZXPeople, KyleMaze and AiX are also quite dead too.

Among many other smaller things.
