I'm insane. It's okay though, the voices say they love me.

GAX

Caab versus. New blogcast idea

So i'd just like to throw this out there to see if anyone thinks it would work. The idea is pretty simple. I take an idea and I go into GAX chat and ask if anyone wants to discuss it over vent and then I publish it as a blogcast. Topics would be generic random crap aka whatever has pissed me off or made me happy regarding video games. Basically what I want to find out is. Would any of you be willing to jump on skype for a few minutes with me at random? And would any of you actually listen to a blogcast of this nature?

NEW GAX FEATURE -- PRIVATE CHAT

Check out the new IM feature on the chat page! First go to the chat page. Then just click another users avatar and like magic a private IM box appears! You can adjust your personal settings by clicking on your own avatar. Enjoy :)

My Observations: The Massively Multiplayer Market

I've been doing quite a bit of reading lately, across various sites and through some major back and forth exchanges of history and ideas. From this I feel as though I'm starting to find a fairly decent grasp on some of the factors contributing to the current MMO market. I'm going to be bringing quite a few games, and I can't promise I'll be particularly positive to your favorite. Still please bear with me and read the entire article before responding. To begin with I want to cover a little bit… Continue

Jabberwocky Streets

Thought I should add - This is a thought expirement! Basic Design Premise: Create a massively multi-player persistent world based on artistic creation and socialization with competition but devoid of violence. Setting (Underlying Simulation): An urban environment with emphasis on the warehouse and downtown areas. NPCs wandering the streets taking note of any fliers, graffiti, or pamphlets they may be handed/come across. Loose instancing for personal apartments. There is a monthly ballot… Continue

The Wierd Adventures of Miles Mitz - 1

Twas a dark yet sunny day. The monsoon that hung idly over the desert had surrounded the sun, backing it into a corner and casting a brown-gray pall over the suburban town. It was a hot day too, though not as hot as it had been, skating by at under one fifteen. Of course this didn't bother Miles Mitz as he walked around the block where he knew only four or five of the houses were even occupied. Miles led simple life these days, stocking shelves by night, wasting away time dreaming by day. Today… Continue

So I'm taking some time off while I get myself set up for counseling and what not. I was going to commit myself, but it looks like I'll be taking the stay at home route. Sooo yeah, time off of semi-paid projects mean doing art stuff for fun. That of course means comic pages! … Continue

A time I thought.

There was a time I thought I'd be all right. There was a time I thought I'd be all right. I thought I'd be all right. There was a time. I'd be. I thought I'd be. There was a time. I'd be all right. I thought there was a time. I'd be all right I thought. There was a time I thought. I'd be a time. All right, a time I'd be. A thought was a time. All right. There was a time I thought I'd be all right.

Back to the Drawing Board

I've decided to scrap the platformer for now. Since about a week into it I ran into a bit of a wall. I've been pushing against that wall for a while now, but just can't seem to surmount it. I just can't find the FUN. Maybe I'm just too far removed from the genre, but I can't seem to think of how to make standard platforming straight up fun. That isn't to say platforming can't be fun, just that I can't drum up a way to make that game and have it be fun. A few ideas have come to mind, though thi… Continue

(Untitled)

I just keep playing it back in my mind. Over and over the images spin up to speed then slow down as I examine every agonizing frame. Somewhere part of me is raging, angrily fighting the truth that my memory stubbornly replays. Most of me is in too much pain to care though. She stepped left when she should have stepped right, rushed in when she should have held back. These are observations, I know eventually I'll attach blame or find some sort of meaning in them, but for now it's just the simple… Continue

Platformer (Haven't decided on a title yet.) Presently I'm working on a platformer. I went ahead and spent a hundred bucks on the Torque Game Builder, so far it's looking like money well spent. TGB comes with a nice set of basic tools that have allowed me to get the basics up pretty fast, also the scripting language is based on C# syntax so I've found it rather intuitive so far. I knew before I began that I was going to be using 2d art. 3d is great for certain things, but I just don't h… Continue
