I think the desire to compose comes with both experience and age... I started playing when I was 6 years old, and at that young an age you tend to have an absurdly short attention span which is not suitable for composing whatsoever.
But I have tried experimenting a few times; there were a couple of times I actually got a melody in my head but was too lazy to write it down. This program will help a lot with that!
And sadly, I'm far from being the best artist, even in terms of work ethic. It's sort of been an 'on-and-off' thing for me. Though that could be partly because of my personality type (!) - I just noticed you mentioned them in your blurb up there, and I think they're fascinating too. I'm an INTJ, and apparently that means I tend to be more "logical" rather than creative, so maybe that partly explains why I haven't taken as much of an interest in art as others have.
But more about personality types: it's amazing how well they're able to predict people's preferences for jobs and type of work. I remember reading something about how a disproportionately large percentage of engineers are INTJs or ISTJs (disclaimer: engineering student here), and similar statistics for other lines of work. I know a lot of people say "No! Everyone is special and unique and wonderful in their own way and don't you dare be so insensitive as to stick a LABEL on them!!!", but I find that labels help a lot in terms of covering the generalities. Obviously no one fits perfectly into the mold, but the MBTI covers a large percentage of it.
>I hope that you make hot and steamy erotica involving those characters. Oh yes.
For some reason this sounds exactly like a line out of MARDEK! But I doubt I will; I'm not the type to write raunchy stories like those.
BUT! I did notice that a few people actually posted MARDEK fanfiction online, so that should tell you that your game is good to the point where people care about it enough to write fanfics for it.
