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.

GOING TO PAX EAST

GOING TO PAX EAST TOMORROW! MY FIRST GAMING CONVENTION! SO EXCITED! CAN'T CONTROL SELF! WILL POST AWESOMENESS!

ON RELATED NOTE! SPILLED SODA ON KEYBOARD! SHIFT KEY STUCK! CAN'T TYPE PERIODS! WILL ATTEMPT TO BLOW DRY!

Did you know...

...that you can make GIF animations with Flash? I certainly didn't.

Game Jam II: Electric Boogaloo

We had another Game Jam today. The theme was "Addiction" and once again I ended up making something by myself in 24 hours. Considering my time restrictions, I think it turned out pretty well, I might even turn it into an Android app someday.

You can play it by clicking here. Please tell me what you think of it.

Infinite Dream Struggle Arena X: Black Knights Vs. Celestial Being

Yet another month has passed and I still have no progress to report on anything. While I have plans to work on some stuff in the near future, I don't want to make any promises because whenever I say I'm going to do something I usually end up doing the complete opposite.

So to pass the time I decided to start this strange little feature; I'm going to try my best to answer the age-old question of "Who would win in a fight" between our favorite fictional characters and organizations.

Now I know this isn't exactly a new idea, it's been done many times before, and I'm not bringing anything new to the table. But hey; it's all in good fun.

So without further ado, let me present...

Tonight's matchup...

Celestial Being 

(Gundam 00)

Vs.

The Black Knights 

(Code Geass)

IN THE RED CORNER CORNER, WEIGHING IN AT TEN HUNDRED THOUSAND TONS OF STEEL AND DETERMINATION, THEY'VE CORNERED THE MARKET FOR "CRAZY ENOUGH TO WORK", GIVE IT UP FOR THE BLAAAAAACK KNIIIIIGHTS!

AND IN THE BLUE CORNER, AT FIVE MILLION POUNDS OF OPTIMISM WITH JUST A DASH OF HYPOCRISY, THE HEROES THAT EVERYONE WANTED BUT NOBODY ASKED FOR, CELESTIALLLLLL BEIIIIINNNG!

I really need to update this more.

Okay, I admit; I still haven't gotten much work done on the Dredmor mod, or Gemini Rush. Things have been busy for me and I really haven't had much of a chance to work on it. Especially since I'm the lead designer for a school project that involves making a game from scratch.

Still I guess it's only fair that I show you some things I have been doing in the meantime:

[PRETENTIOUS JAPANESE SUBTITLE] is a short game made in Construct 2 for an eight hour game jam, and uploaded to the Indie Pirate Kart. I made it in Construct 2 because I wanted to get familiar with the tools, which my group is using for our project.

Anyway, the concept is solid, but the game itself is glitchy as hell. I might turn this into a full game later, but if so I'll probably do it in something more proven, like Flixel. Music done by TM23 on Newgrounds.

Second: LORD ENGLISH TAKES OVER THE WORLD, a hilariously short RPG made in the Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine, made over the course of 1 day for the Pirate Kart.

Last but not least: InfiKnights: Chronicle of the Last War, a metafictional forum adventure framed as an 8-bit JRPG. Not that I'm abandoning TLOJ On the contrary, I've decided to settle on a "at least once a week" update schedule for both projects (plus a minor project called Tokyo Adventures).

Over the course of the next couple days I'll try to post the results some failed projects of mine, just for fun of course.
