Ahem.
Now then.

DS, I know exactly what you're going through. What I do when this happens is just take a little break or work on a little tiny project for fun. Like, something that you think is cool and you don't care how it turns out. Just a little fun something for yourself.


*shoots you back after resurrecting self*

Ds, make something awesome like TLB's hoverboards.

I've already completed spriting a sort of fembot that's loosely related to DSTech, gonna be spriting some unique weapons and effects for this particular robot... Coding will be done tomorrow, loving the design actually... Kinda refreshing from the red eyed cyclopian robot theme, and the DSTech theme in general.

EDIT:
Is it possible that Numgun is pulling the "Dark Knight"?

Just ignore him, he wants attention.


Also, you have modders block because you only make things for DSTech. You aren't mixing things up. If I only worked on one thing I would be bored outta my mind. This is one reason WWM is full of such random ♥♥♥♥.

Heh, I'm going to pretty much make my own sort of mod dump <which I'm assuming you, Whitty, pretty much did>, but I'm going to need to redo the DSTech main story, as to really create the "race". I'm finding calling the dump "DSTech Extras" a bit too simplistic for my tastes, I'd rather have it named after the "race" that DSTech really comes from. I'm brainstorming having the "DSTech Corp" as the handle of the splinter faction that's making its presence in the CC game world. Though coming up with the name is hard when the supposed "race" has a plethora of robot personalities, I could go straight with more bastardized latin, or attempt to make up my own original name for it...

Thanks the tips and advice, I'm feeling pretty released right now!

Don't you dare even think of using that name.

Seriously though, random crap from the guy who made DSTech? Scary, and extremely enticing.

DSTras

No but serious, I look at a bunch of examples of thing I'm making. For example when I'm spriting pistols I google "pistols", "handguns", and "scifi pistols" and when I find an interesting concept or design I smash into another interesting concept or design and sprite it.

If you're really stuck, just ask for ideas on the thread. There'll probably be a load of crap, but there could be something there that you like.

How about 'DSTech+ Pro Edition'? :-o

But seriously, whenever I have any kind of lack of inspiration, I do a random sprite. I don't start with a concept (because there are generally no concepts in mind) but just see what shape it takes. Often all I am thinking is: it's going to be a weapon, or a dropship. Generally, the biggest thing people care about here are sprites, so it's a good place to start. I don't know if this is helpful or not.
Oh, and +1 to everything Geti said.

I seriously consider this thread a great example of how helpful and nice this community can be when it wants to. I mean, we've made some good points, helped DS solve his block, and brought a tear to Nummy's eye (He's back, yay! *Double backflip*). So I guess we are not as bad as people think, right?

He only deserves praise if, AND ♥♥♥♥ only if, he releases that mod update, he said he was almost done making, and uploaded three videos.
WE WANT THOSE VEHICLES MANG!!!

Anyways, I see your are doing something, I guarantee you that you'll recover if you do something that is completely inane, and not DSTech related.
