I don't even have a 2tb main drive yet.

All in my 64GB thumb drive ;D

I hear you. I started to clean up and better organize my resources, and man it's a lot of stuff.

postin the extra life thread and I'll add you

Had a look at the description... it's very vague :S

It'll be available in our store very soon, too. I'll make sure the description is updated to be less vague.

cool!

Projects do that. They will grow out of control without constant pruning. Constantly finding ways to simplify or cut ideas is the only way I get things done. I feel your pain.

The actual way to do it thus: Write the entire story down. As much as you possibly can, as much detail as possible. Then, sit down and read it. If it takes you longer than say... two hours to read it all... You've probably got too much there for a game. Time to start pruning and thinking of ways to turn much of that text into visual actions that are faster than reading.

Yeah, simplicity is the key. I'd say even two hours is a lot. Imagine you're explaining the story to a friend (or try doing so for real, it works well). If you can't explain the gist of it to them within a few minutes, then it's either too complex or even not developed enough and has too many flaws and loose ends.
