Adventure Games and Why I Can't Make Them

I have been looking to make an adventure game for a long time now. This is because I play games a fucking lot and I have begun to start to want to make them. My favourite sort are adventure games, like the point n clicks. I play them. Lots. To the point where the left mouse button of my mouse is shattered beyond repair.

So to make an AGS game what do you need? Ability to understand whatever odd sorts of code and clicky things the engine throws at me? Check. A script worthy of winning several prizes judged and awarded by me to me? Check. Music? Nick it off of RPG Maker sites. Check. Art? Gwuh?

That is my only stumbling block. I could churn out brilliant games and win the adoration of millions for my witty dialogue and inventive puzzles except I CAN'T FUCKING DRAW. This pisses me off to no end. Really.

My art sucks, in a nutshell. It's like watching an elephant rape a monkey in the ass. It's fascinating in a completely fucked up and unnatural way.

There, I'm done venting. Back to working on scripts that will never become games.

Tommorow, either why I hate the circus or whatever the fuck I think of at the time. Seeing as I've never actually been to the circus it'll probably be the latter. Yes, I know this update was a cop out. I'm watching Firefly. Piss off.
