Gamedev,
First, I'd like to say, thank you to all of you who responded to my last entry (and especially to Mushu). I guess I had known that all along, but had dispairigingly forgotten what was important. It's good having you all ere to remind me.
So anyhow, it's Sunday night, and I've made good progr…

Gamedev,
So I've finished the graphing for level 7. pwn3d. Only 2 more to go, and I'm so done, which is e-leet. 7 is one of those sidescroller levels where the screen scrolls upward at a constant rate and you have to battle your way to the top of the level (and if you fall below the bottom margin of…

Alright...
So, have I proven to be the most unreliable person with a GDNet+ account? Haha, yes! I'm starting to give new meaning to the actual function behind my "GDnet: The Gathering" card (as shown above). I could give a hundred reasons as to why I disappeared before, but I won't. Cause who wants …

Gamedev,
Ugh, I hate level design so much. Hopefully I can polish all of it off in the next 2 weeks or so. I've finished bare bones for levels 5 and 6, and 1-4 are completely implemented. I just need to complete 5 and 6 with labeling and finish 7-9. Then it's coding coding coding right to the end of…

Hahaha, WHAT UP!?
Yeah, you know who it is. And I know you missed me. Immensely. Let's face it... this was the best journal ever? I think so.
God, it's been too long, hasn't it. Now, I know what you're thinking... "Aren't you making some grand re-entrance for like, the second time now?". So y…

Gamedev,
I'm convinced that no one reads this anymore (except nilkn). So, I've finally gotten level 4 finished. I do believe that looking back at it after I finish the project, I will realize that it was the hardest to both design and implement. It's kind of shaped like this (starting at top left, e…

Hey there! Sorry for being so infrequent, I've been a bit tied up lately... but I am hard at work! First, lets talk about the game!
I've been working through the kinks with level 4. When I first ran it, it was so buggy. Everything was wrongly perportioned and out of place... took me and hour…

Hey, sorry for no new posts. I didn't have much to write about in terms of developement. Tomorrow I run throught the structure of the code for the fourth level and plug in a bunch of coordinate points. Then I should be able to run through the level. Then I'll have screenies. Anyhow, on to a…

Gamedev,
Short entry, not much to say. I'm burning through the laborious task of going through the level 4 schematics and labeling dimentions, coordinates, and 'naming' in order to prep it for implementation. I need to draw up 2 new classes and 1 new play mechanic, as well as a hell of a custom scro…

I'm happy, I'm feeling glad,
I've got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
the future is comin' on
Aahhh, life is good. So today, although I kinda spent very little time on developement, was a great day. First of all, after spending all of my classes, my lunch period, and some time a…

No work got done today... because I went to the DigitalLife Convention! For those of you who don't know, the DL Convention is the Gaming and Consumer Electronics Convo for New York City. Half half-priced tickets after student discount, and everything was awesome. Saw an Xbox 360, wasn't imp…

Yes, yes, new entry. Feeling good, feeling pretty good. Quick personal note: I took the PSATs this morning. Easy f*cking test. The proctor was silently singing "This is your liiivveees" under her breath as she passed out the test. Made the rest of my day.

Hahaha, done by noon tomorrow, I said!? Screw that! I just finished up the first boss routine. Which means...
Oh sh*t... I just realized that I'm back to level design again. ::sigh:: time to rent some damn good movies and get ready for a long 2 weeks of three levels and a boss. Oh, and I finally sol…

Short entry (hmmm, I say that too much). So I didn't get much work done today in terms of programming, but I did get work done nonetheless. Popped over to Bruckners to discuss concept art and current events. I liked, for the most part, what I saw in the second boss sketches. It's a suprise …

I woke up this morning to the unfortunate conclusion that my concept artist was no where to be found. He has the drawings for the second boss. I still have to get a scanner hooked up to the new PC, but I'll have it up soon enough.

The youngin' of JounalLand has returned after a short 1 1/2 month recess. I apologize. A combination of women, work, unhappiness, my support deteriorating, another pixel artist bombing on me, and Bruckner on vacation... led to a great loss of motivation. But I'm back on track now! And I'm f…

I'm really excited about the progress I'm making on the project. Alright, so first of all I got an artist for the project. His name is Bruce, he is pretty 1337. We've settled on this as the final sprite for his standing position:
Isn't he great? Bruce is working on his running animation now,…
