Cladun X2 is out on PC!

Well I have to say I didn't see this coming.

A few months ago, I bought Cladun X2 for the PSP on an impulse, and found it to be a fun little Diablo clone with an comprehensive character and item creation tool. So imagine my surprise (and annoyance) to find that the game just came out on PC!

My reactions are mixed. On one hand, it doesn't look like they added any new features. On the other hand, it's nice to see obscure JRPGs like this being exposed to a broader audience.

To celebrate, I decided to release a couple characters I made for the PSP version!

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.

Things I have Been Doing For the Past Two Months

Once again, after a two-month hiatus I'm finally back! (not that anyone cares, really)

So what have I been doing these past two months? Well for one thing I've...

• ...made a puzzle-platformer about the Harlem Globetrotters in an unsuccessful attempt to get an internship with Firaxis.
• ...beaten Diablo III
• ...played way too much TF2
• ...played not enough A Valley Without Wind
• ...bought Persona 3: FES
• ...read some hilariously bad fanficiton.
• ...developed house rules for a Shin Megami Tensei: Persona-themed game of The Dresden Files RPG
• ...started two Play-By-Post RPGs; Kingdom Hearts-themed Mutants and Masterminds game, and a Persona-themed Dresden Files RPG game.
• ...got Netflix and watched way too many episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
• ...started a Homestuck-themed graphics pack for A Valley Without Wind
• ...done jack-squat on my Dungeons of Dredmor mod.
• ...read Flex Mentallo: The Man of Muscle Mastery, and really enjoyed it even if I only had the vaguest idea what was actually going on. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes really confusing comic books
• ...written some stuff for The SCP Foundation.

I'm probably going to go into more detail about this stuff in future blog posts, this is just an overview of what I've been up to.

Dredstuck: ...wait, you mean you were still working on it?

 After months and months of not-particularly-hard work, the first version of Dredstuck, my Homestuck-Themed Dungeons of Dredmor mod is complete!

As mentioned previously, this version focuses on adding skills and items based on Dave Strider in the form of the "Hipsterology" skilltree, which gives powerful, melee-oriented stat buffs in exchange for dehibilitating penalties. It also gives starts you with the Broken Caledscratch, which can potentially be crafted into one of the beast weapons in the game!

It also implements something I like to call "True Alchemy", which provides special recipes that allow you transmute crafting materials!

If you saw my last post, then you already know about Flash Step and Unbelievably Ill Jams, but what about the new skills? Let's go over them, shall we?

Game Jam III: Do you remember love?

Woo! Another game jam!

This time I teammed up with Matt Dallas to make a short, Ikaruga-inspired platformer using Stencyl. It's rough around the edges and it lags like crazy, but it's not bad for 8-hours work. He's also expressed intrest for doing the music for an iOS version of my last game jam game, but we'll just see if that works out.

Guess who just rediscovered Graffiti Kingdom?

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX! (and free stuff)

So I just got back from Pax East, and I bet you guys are wondering; did I have a good time?

Can you attack a Giant Enemy Crab's weak-point for massive damage?  The answer is yes, yes I did.

Even though I ended up missing a bunch of panels I wanted to go to, avoided most of the larger games on the show floor to avoid waiting in endless lines, and had to skip the third day to catch my ride home, I had a great time nonetheless.
