Retro-ize and revitalize

I am in the slow process of updating the site right now. I had to upgrade to the latest version of Word Press, and I am trying to give the site more of a pixel art look to reflect the predominant style of my games.

Basically, I am trying to revamp the old junker site. Hopefully this will be a good thing!

Sorry for the state of the forum recently.

If your user name is no longer valid, please reregister, and except my appology. Blame spammers?

Any way, looking for some admin types who want to help maintain the forum. Read the first little news item if you have time.

Posted two completed game!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! The Cleaner and Airdoo are now on the games page.

The Cleaner has arrived!

For those of you who want to beta The Cleaner, follow this link:

BETA FORUM

It feels oh so good to have this game completed at long last!
Word!

The Cleaner - Where is it?

In case you have SOMEHOW heard of the Cleaner and wish to download it, I wanted to let you know what happened. It’s really not much of a story, but you’ll probably read it anyway.

Well, I apparently had a memory leak in the code, which I patched. The patch I put in place THEN caused “mysterious problems”. What were these problems you ask? Multiple key sequences in the game just don’t work. The most important one is the final battle! It just doesn’t end.

I decided that it was time to rewrite my underlying game object state storing engine and change all of the objects that need to stay as you left them. Quite a bit of work that.

ANYWAY, I am almost finished with it. I have one more world to convert, and it is BETA time again! YAY!

I’ll be sure to add in all kinds of extra tweaks for you guys to enjoy too.

PEACE FOR NOW. –should be finished in the next two weeks!

Organize your chaos

Ello! Just wanted to let you gents and ladies know that there is this cool little application to help keep your Windows XP desktop organized when you have a BILLION Windows minimized.

MiniMize

Enjoy!

In gaming news I finished the first boss and intro level to the “Secret Project”. Wouldn’t you like to know what that project was? Muhahahahhaha.

Airdoo

I’ve got a new game in the beta testing stage. It should honestly be completed, but I really need some people to give me the low down on the bugs and what not.

FORUM LINK

It was made in honor of a fallen friend. For some really amazing games check out his site too:

Shawn64’s website

He will be missed.

I’ll be back to my normal crazy self with some updates as soon as I finish a super secret cape laden project that will make you guys glad you missed me.

PEACE!

I hate IE

I know, everyone LOVES little cute FireFox right now, and you think I am just jumping on the band wagon, thing. Well, up yours for thinking that first of all, and secondly IE is a hunk of crap.

My first really depressing experience today was with custom 404 errors. I’m working on my company’s site, and I think our 404 redirect (shouldn’t use that trick really) is going to work under IE too.

I didn’t cross check. My bad. Some one else tries it, and they keep getting a basic 404. Why I ask myself? I’m digging through the httpd.conf like an idiot. Then I stumble on this link.

MADNESS I TELL YOU

I know this guys sounds like he spends too much time with the penguins, if you know what I mean. There is a lot of truth in what he says.

The resolution folk? I needed to make my error page more than 512 bytes large or IE would take over and display the default ugly Microsoft laden one.

Bastards stole my redirect.

This is pretty rad

Hey, ever want to see the end of a game without the hassle of actually playing it?
Well, here is your chance!

Click and behold!

You can subtitle your own Japanese commercials. You can make yourself laugh.

Man, holiday funk is over!

Word up kids and kidlettes. The holiday jive is at an end, and that means more time to write games and pick up new kung-fu skill.

Game Progress

Sword Fighter Zero (Chapter 1) is nearing a complete stage. Just have to add the story and the upper level of the first dungeon.

Here’s a little screeny weenie of the big bad first super baddy:
