Angelina Stilson

Okay. So I started on this custom story months ago.

It wasn't those typical ones where the player wakes up in the room not knowing what happened.
It didn't have those teleporting naked guys either.

As a little girl, I loved writing stories. I figured that ever since I started playing amnesia custom stories, maybe I could bring one of my stories into this game. Because that way people would be able to see what I have to show.

So now, 14 year old me, I started to look up tutorials on how this whole "scripting" thing work.

It was something I was never really familiar with.
It took me about one month of learning through youtube and forums on scripting the basics,
enough for me to fix my own HPL2/scripting errors.
Each day, I was proud of myself more and more.

I spent a good 2 weeks on the intro of the custom story.
Not because I had too many errors, or I just delayed it.
In fact, I worked on it from first thing on the morning up until before dinner.

It was because I wanted to make sure this custom story wasn't going to be known as the "non-serious" maps. Don't get me wrong, I love to play those.

Anyways, I kept working so hard on it. Learning something new everyday, etc.

One day, the most horrible thing (that can happen to someone who was so encouraged and put so much effort in something) happened to me.
Basically, my laptop decided to die on me.
The battery wasn't broken, nothing like that. But the computer just wouldn't start regularly.
I had to call the company, and it was fixed in about 5 days.

I was praying that all my work was still there.
Unfortunately, it was rebooted.

Everything was gone.
I may sound like someone who had no life, but it basically took off the courage and potential that I had into making this custom story.
The amount of time I decided to work on this story was up til around 4 to 6 months until I could publish it.

Not only did I lose my files, but I also lost Steam.

Meaning I had to go download that, then amnesia, and then hpl2.

I was no longer encouraged. It was a couple months until I decided to finally install Steam onto my laptop.
After that, ofcourse I installed the hpl2.

Nothing was the same again when I figured hpl2 wasn't working like the way it used to.
There was a problem with it.
I could still work with it, but it wasn't much I can accomplish with.

I haven't gotten the motivation to make this custom story no matter how much I want to do it.
It's been bothering me for a while and I sorta kinda needed to tell you guys about this.

Sorry if it wasted time. I needed to talk to somebody about it.

P.S It also really doesn't help at all when a close friend of yours discourages you all the time saying, "Yeah, that's not gonna get you anywhere in life."

, which bothers me a lot.

The custom story is called "Angelina Stilson"
for now, since I can't get motivated into doing a custom story on it, I've been writing the storyline of it on Microsoft Word(whenever I'm bored).

I'm really not sure when I'm ever gonna start over on this custom story or get a new start. Not unless I'm motivated to do it.
