YoSniper's Fangame Contest 2015 *RESULTS*
YoSniper:
So, question for the community.
I received an entry today, and the first time I ran it, it ran fine. However, every subsequent time I've attempted to run the game, I get an error message saying "Unexpected error occurred while trying to run the game."
This game was made in Game Maker Lite, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
I searched for hidden files and folders, I've tried recopying the game from the original ZIP file, and I've even tried restarting my computer. Nothing has worked. I really want to give this person a chance, so any ideas would be appreciated.

YoSniper, this is honestly really hard for me to say.
I've been developing this game for the past three months and I can safely say that it was one of the most painful processes I've ever had in my life. I've restarted this game, once out of a broken laptop, and many... many times out of my own merit. This game has lost the charm and fun-ness it once had. I'm not having fun anymore. But, please, please do not think I was lazy or not brave during this. I tried my damned hardest and I failed, with family issues and overall friends worrying about me because of how disconnected from everyone this has made me, I've stuck through and worked on this game. Had I not been a dumbass and broke my laptop, I probably would've finished it, and maybe even had a chance at winning. But, incase you didn't know, I am dropping out of this contest.
Maybe next year, Snipes. :atkCry:

yosniper, the best I can suggest is to try it on another pc. If it does the same exact thing then we know it's most likely changing or adding a file somewhere wierd (like appdata) and failing when it tries to do so a second time and the file already exists\contains bad data.

If I had another PC to test that theory, I'd do so, but as it stands, I simply cannot run the game anymore. I'll post about it on my wiki for judges and see if any of them can figure this out, but other than that, I'm tapping out.
