[01/01/2015, 10:20:51 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: Argh, now I'm getting all flashbacky to ending up thousands in debt because other people basically released games of mine
[01/01/2015, 10:21:16 AM] Athena Hollow: ew I'd never release clones that aren't like decades old & don't make the original owners anything anymore :-/
[01/01/2015, 10:21:37 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: Seriously-
[01/01/2015, 10:21:46 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: I worked on this one card game
01/01/2015, 10:21:53 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: had it pretty much where I wanted it
[01/01/2015, 10:22:05 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: was running demos at cons, attempting to hire artists
[01/01/2015, 10:22:34 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: a year or goes by waiting on people to get back in touch with me on art contracting
[01/01/2015, 10:22:45 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: I go screw it, I'll just do my own illustrations
[01/01/2015, 10:23:17 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: Tweak the rules a bit, fix the issue that'd been bugging me, start looking for printers...
[01/01/2015, 10:23:29 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: "Hey! Congratulations on getting that game in stores!"
[01/01/2015, 10:24:12 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: I don't know if it's just a REALLY nasty coincidence, or someone was really paying attention when I was running demos but
[01/01/2015, 10:24:19 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: there's an S on the name
[01/01/2015, 10:25:15 AM] Secret Gamer Girl: and the big expensive game that kinda ruined me financially kinda had the same thing happen, although there at least mine was technically on the market for a year first
