With Game Maker, I constantly multitask by making several games at the same time. Right now I have MFGG RPG, BlackRocket 2.0, and Paper Mario Adventures going on and I'm not quite sure how many engines I've started but not finished.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.

Enough people are working on MFGG RPG already, so you can put that off for a while.
Paper Mario Adventures souns awesome form the title, but I've learned never to judge something from the title. Black Rocket 2.0 looks like your main focus.
Let's divide this up:

3 parts Black Rocket 2.0
2 parts Paper Mario Adventures
1 part MFGG RPG

So if you work on game making 3hours a day, work on Black Rocket for 90 minutes, PMA for 60 minutes, and MFGG RPG for 30 minutes.
Hope this helps.

I want to know who you're calling a she, because you've confused me and I'm not a girl.

I just usually choose to work on a project that has the most development, develop it until I finish it, and then continue from there.



Actually, your real answer comes in a nice variety of three steps.


1. Stop working on them.
2. Go to school.
3. Learn programming and get a career so you can earn money off the suckers you program.

Paper Mario Adventures is going to be a sort of mix between Super Mario 64 and the Sonic Advances. By this, it's 2-D, has various missions for you to complete, and Special Stages. I don't want to spoil EVERYTHING, but it's turning out well right now, and I hope it's a better game than Classic was.

And that's a great idea, I should try that.

And I think I'm really the only one programming MFGG RPG, I just need SPRITES from some people...
