How much of a Game Makers time is taken up by playing games?

Once upon a time, making a game took much work and that hasn't changed even now. When game making was in it's infancy however it was gamers making games for themselves mostly. Games like Duke Nukem and Ultima. Gamers played just as much if not more than as much as they worked on the game. But Now with games like Call Of Duty or Company Of Heroes or even games like Interstellar Marines even if their avid gamers a lot of work and time is put into making the game, more than you could possibly imagine (unless your a Game Maker yourself).

Here at NeonGenesis however we game more than avidly, we game religiously, fanatically, to the point where if you compared us to Mormons, the analogy would be insufficient. So how do we keep up this gaming lifestyle and still get time to make games? Well the truth is we can't. It's a little guilty pleasure but we are first and foremost gamers who make games because we love them. If we spend so much time making games it becomes work I'm afraid that half of us would lose our passion for it and soon the work is dropped. I can't speak for other groups out there or even independent's but we game to keep up our work ethic, the more we game the harder we work (Logical fallacy or what?).

We especially love gaming with (and against) each other, LAN parties are where it's at (and Hamachi if we're too lazy to get together). Nothing makes us want to work harder than to out show Qui when he beats you in Age Of Empires (I still swear you guys ganged up on me).

NEONGENESIS and Neon Genesis?

We like to steal names huh?

We've been getting alot of flack lately for the name of our group. and quite frankly I'm getting annoyed.

No we did not use this name because of any anime, manga or game influences.

No we did not steal this name

No we do not intend to change it because some people think it's lame.

We thought this name was a good blanket explanation of who we are and what we do and we like it that way. Anyone who thinks otherwise or likes to flame us because of it can consider themselves ignored. The matter has now been cleared up. Swept away. Done.

Neon Machinations Is Now Running!

For about a year now we at NEON GENESIS have been debating wether to start up a blog for our work, and now for you it is obvious that we have come to a decision, WE ARE NOW BLOGGING! 


I am Nightydreams, the founder of NEONGENESIS, I will be making most of the blog posts but others in the team may blog from time to time as well, Including but not limited to, Kerry, JK1LLa, LightsBOY and Quill/Perran.

If your new to NEONGENESIS I shall give you the short version of our sermon, 

We are a group who dedicate ourselves to ridiculous bouts of gaming and game making, we make games (or rather START making games) for the gamer who just doesn't care about graphics or literary genius, We make the game, you play the game and if you don't like it tell us why or F*** OFF!. Please leave.

For those of you who are familiar with us we welcome you to another mode of keeping up to speed with us.

Happy gaming from me and the rest of the NEONGENESIS Team,
