Hi everyone, I made this! I already told my whole story in this article (if you'd rather watch a video essay about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CikpAHiPlmQ ) so not much more to add other than I'm still (slowly) working on Line Rider! If you have any questions here I am
I relate very deeply.

hi conun long time listener first time caller here question that I never got around to asking you when you were working on this: did the community meme about OII never being finished ever get to you? The line rider world is full of a lot of projects that never got completed (SamThePoor’s Cosmic Ultimatum, etc.). What kept you going on this, when so many other projects seemed to fizzle out, as the community kind of sh…
I've always found it really funny and played along with it!
> What kept you going on this
It was mostly my conviction about the creative potential of Line Rider but it helped a lot that the community remained alive and people understood the significance of this track
That said... holy crap that final sequence was amazing, easily making up for whatever issues I have with other parts of it.
[1] Mostly due to the "moving too fast to get a sense of the scene" problem, I think.

"art" is the most basic common denominator that something can be called, and such a claim can not be challenged. i think this was a monumental waste of time -- sorry art. he (pretty confident gender assumption) should have done something more productive for 11 years.
That the author wasted their time is purely your opinion, and really adds nothing to the conversation here. Why insult someone for doing something you don’t find interesting?
Is it a jealousy at not finding such a passion, or for being unable to dedicate sufficient time to make something of a similar scale?

I spent way more time than I want to admit playing my favorite Flash game, Fantastic Contraption. I'm concerned that the possibly millions of hours of creativity that went into the thousands of levels and hundreds of thousands of solutions are going to go down with that ship in a couple months.
I guess the internet archive is working on supporting older games but I wonder how feature complete and bug-free that's likely to be
Is the game going to survive Flash's imminent end of life? I spent way more time than I want to admit playing my favorite Flash game, Fantastic Contraption.

I think the biggest issue was not the death of flash, but that many games used external resources and broke after those servers went down.
I think the ability for humans to build seemingly straight-forward and simple tools or building blocks that other humans then go on to create insanely complex things like this with is what sets us apart from every other species in existence.
