Comments for JetpackHQ http://www.jetpackhq.com/blog A chronicle of the development of a video game Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:37:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on Brick Walls by Adam http://www.jetpackhq.com/blog/2011/07/01/brick-walls/comment-page-1/#comment-3741 Adam Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:37:09 +0000 http://www.jetpackhq.com/blog/?p=624#comment-3741 Thanks for the support everyone. It looks like the last release has some messed up gameplay, which may making things harder than they should be. Snow - That's interesting, I'm going to try upping my fat intake and see if that helps. I already put heavy cream in my coffee/chai instead of milk - it's so much better that way. Modafinil works wonders, so I'm about to get serious with that, and also trying racetam's and choline's. I'll do another blog post with the final editor, once I get it fixed up. Not steady enough to estimate right now. Thanks for the support everyone.

Snow – That’s interesting, I’m going to try upping my fat intake and see if that helps. I already put heavy cream in my coffee/chai instead of milk – it’s so much better that way.

Modafinil works wonders, so I’m about to get serious with that, and also trying racetam’s and choline’s.

I’ll do another blog post with the final editor, once I get it fixed up. Not steady enough to estimate right now.

Hang in there. When I was a child, I too fell out of a tree square onto a rock and couldn't breathe for almost 2 minutes. I was sore for days and felt it in my lungs, but since then, I'm perfectly ok. Children heal faster and better than adults. I've also gone through the depression bit - and it's not easy to get out of, simply for the fact that when you get depressed, you get lethargic, worn out and unhealthy. So, it's like an endless cycle: you can't get better because you're unhealthy, you're unhealthy because you're depressed. So I'm going to give you a tip that you might be surprised with: eat fatty foods. The brain is made of fat and it and your body crave it and use it. It helps with depression - as in it might get rid of it. There is a documentary called "Fathead" that's about the truth about fat. You'll also understand why the majority of diets out there fail. A lot of them are made to fail as well - but that's another subject and I'm not a conspiracy theorist, however it makes sense. Anyway, I've been eating so called unhealthy fatty foods for a while and for years have not suffered a day of depression. I certainly do remember how crippling it was. Just don't let it win. It's all in the head anyway. Keep working on the game as it kicks ass. I love these types of games. Hey man. Hang in there.

Hopefully this is a better year for you. Can you give us an update anytime soon? Also, I'm playing my levels again for the first time in months and I can't even beat half of them. =p Happy New Year, Adam (and my fellow Jetpackers). Hopefully this is a better year for you.
