The truth about Windows 8 Errors... (Also a FAQ)

Posted by TheMadWasp - May 4th, 2015


So I understand that it's been a long time since the previous error game, but I am definitely still working on Windows 8 Errors. I have been for the past month or so, but my personal life has been getting in the way a bit.

But the truth is, I don't really want to make Windows 8 Errors. The only reason I am is because I said I would, and in the past I've announced games or animations that were going to come out, but never did because I just gave up. Another reason that I'm still choosing to work on Windows 8 Errors is because I have been getting requests for it since Windows Vista Errors, and it really amazes me how many people enjoyed my previous games to the point where they want a 6th game.

I appreciate all of the requests and reviews, you have no idea. I never thought I could entertain over 120 people, although to be honest, it's probably more than that because I have over 90'000 overall views on Windows Vista Errors (according to the NG Project System)

But, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Windows 8 Errors will be the last game in the Errors series. I have been asked by someone to make a Mac version, but I very much doubt I'll do that. I really am tired of making these games.

Windows Vista Errors was actually quite a big effort despite how small it looks. But even then when I was nearing the end of the project, I just wanted to stop because I was fed up with looking at the same project over and over again.

The thing is, I originally just wanted the Errors series to be just the slideshow of errors and nothing else, but because that was frowned upon by a few users, I decided to go with the whole 'making it into a virtual desktop' thing instead.

Now don't get me wrong, I had actually wanted to do a Virtual PC game like a lot of users on NG have done, I've even gone back to some of my older news posts and seen that I was making a really big-looking Windows XP Simulator, (that project is gone now though because since then I've gotten a new computer and lost the file) but if I recall, I was only going to make one and stop there. I've currently made 3 of them and have a 4th one in the works.

So yeah, I'm not saying that I hate anyone who wants Windows 8 Errors. I'm glad that people want to see another "game" from me. But the truth is I am just fed up with making it. It takes alot of time, and especially since I'm trying to keep up with my college work and support my hobby at the same time.

However, don't worry, it is coming. All I ask for is a little bit of patience.

 

In the meantime, here are some answers to some questions you may have:

QUESTION: When will Windows 8 Errors come out?

ANSWER: Well here is the thing, since I have a lot of college work to do over the next few weeks, I'm taking a small break from Flash altogether. However, when College ends (in about 7-8 weeks) I'll be on my summer break and then I'll dedicate all the time that I have to the game. I may do a small amount here and there before summer break, but it won't be a lot of progress. So basically, the game may come out in June or August. If I'm very unlucky then it will be released in September, but I highly doubt that that will happpen.

 

QUESTION: What features will be included in Windows 8 Errors?

ANSWER: I have a list on a previous blog post I made, you can check it out here. I may update it if I come up with any more features, but at the moment, that's all I have planned.

 

QUESTION: Can I send you my ideas for errors or programs?

ANSWER: Yes. If you want to send me your error ideas, then use this tool to make it. Then send me the image to my e-mail (MadWasp01@googlemail.com).

If you have any ideas for programs that AREN'T on the list I have on my previous blog post, send me your idea(s) via a private message on here.

If you do, I can list you as a writer in the credits for the game (If you want me to).

 

QUESTION: How do I know you're working on the game? If you've said you don't want to make it you could have secretly cancelled the game!!!

ANSWER: Okay, I did joke that I had stopped making Windows 8 Errors on April Fools Day this year, but I am definitely working on it. If I am making any progress then I will either announce it on Newgrounds in a different blog post, or post a video on my YouTube channel with me making the game. I have 2 videos already that you can check out here and here.

 

QUESTION: Can you make Windows 7/10/95 Errors or Mac OS X Errors or Linux Ubuntu Errors?

ANSWER: No. As I said above, Windows 8 Errors will be the last game. I really just want to finish this series off.

When I'm older and I look back on my series, I may decide to one of those as a sort of throwback, but I very much doubt I will.

 

QUESTION: What are you doing after you finish Windows 8 Errors?

ANSWER: Well I have a couple of ideas. I really want to remake my old Black Circle Dude animation and see if I can make that into a series. I also want to try and remake my old T.I.S series as well. I have an idea for that to turn into something a lot better than what it was.

Also, I really want to make some other animations like a Animator VS Animation Tribute because Alan Becker was the guy who really got me into Flash in the first place.

I have a list of things that I am working on or that I want to work on here.

 

QUESTION: Will you ever release the Flash Files for your error series?

ANSWER: Possibly! Do you want to have access to the Flash file? Let me know!

In fact, I've just released my Windows XP Errors 2 Flash File onto the NG Dumping Grounds, so if you have Adobe Flash CS5.5 or higher, you can download and open the file for yourself and see how everything works. Link here.

 

QUESTION: Can I talk to you about the game?

ANSWER: Sure! If you want to know anything about the game, you can try to talk to me on Skype (My Skype Name is madwasp01). If you cannot get hold of me through that, just send me a Private Message on here.

 

QUESTION: My question was not on here!

ANSWER: That's not even a quesiton, but if you have any other questions that weren't on here, send me a Private Message and I'll happily answer your question. Alternatevly you can leave it down in the comments of this blog post.

Please not finish Errors series :(

I'm sorry, but I cannot keep doing this forever. I've had a lot of fun with this series, but I've also faced a lot of problems with it too, and I need to move on to other things.

I hope you enjoy Windows 8 Errors when it comes out.
