I was going to make the title North Korea, but that would be a little too… eyecatchying.

REALLY short post today. Early morning today and I just watched this mind blowing documentary:

In other news, awesome game made with Box2d¹ which sucked in alot of my time today, Sprocket Rocket.

No music for today, videos should be enough.

1. I presume [↩]

I’ve decided to start migrating to yagerx.wordpress.com now, for the next week or so, I’ll be running both sites in parallel, then running a domain re-direct to yagerx.wordpress.com so that transition will go as smoothly as possible. I’ll be using dropbox to host my junk¹ and will be finally using adsense and analytics on the “new” site. I’ll probably start redirecting on the 1st of June so everthing will be all cookies and roses =D

I played a rad strategy game yesterday. It was called pixel legions. Trust me, it’s pretty rad.

Short post today, mainly housekeeping.

Super rad music. Please tell me what it’s a cover of!

PS. I’ve thought up of a concept of a game for this week, will be messing around with it tomorrow. Sneak peak today though:

1. hotlinking FTW [↩]

Quality control? Check.

Infinite went through a few revisions over the weekend¹ and should now be a bit more user friendly²

Questionable Content? AWESOME
Yet another series of great webcomics =D
Favourite so far?

Which somehow reminds me of this description by Douglas Adams:

She emerged a moment later, all smiles and with a sunhat and came tripping down the steps with extraordinary lightness. It was a strange kind of dancing motion she had. She saw that he noticed it and put her head slightly to one side.

I made an underwater bunker esque thing, but I didn’t take a screenshot. Maybe I’ll do it again for tomorrow =D

MUSIC!!!! I FORGOT MUSIC!!!

1. after futzing up the 40 hour game [↩]
2. But harder! [↩]
3. Now I realise that’s fenchurch and she can fly, but that really describes a perfect girl haha [↩]

I’m not sure why but I’m extremely drained from this weekend…
I would just like to say that I will be continously working on Unfinite ammo (made alot of changes yesterday and today) and it will have it’s own page soon.

Partially why I quit facebook:

Music:

‘Til tomorrow!

Ok, so I played starcraft for the first 3 hours of the jam session, so what! It’s preparation.

Concept:

A “SHUMP” where you must deliver supplies to villages via air drop, while possibly avoiding hazards.

Anyways, a list of things Im going to be using:

• Inkscape for vector art
• Flashdevelop + Flashpunk for programming
• SFXR + Musagi for sound effects and music
• Kongregate for hosting

Little goals for myself:

• Day 1:
  • First 2 hours, Movement of plane, dropping, accuracy detection 10am-12pm
  • 2nd 2 Hours, Draft images of plane, parachute, and scenery 12pm-2pm
  • Next 2 Hours, UI mocked up and implemented 2pm-4pm
  • Next 2 hours, Polish for art assets. 6pm – 8pm
  • Last 2 hours, Music + SFX¹ 8pm – 10pm (possibly later)
• Day 2:
  • First 2 hours, Finalize art assets. 11am – 1pm²
  • 2nd 2 hours, Finalize mechanics of game. 1pm – 3pm
  • Next 2 Hours, Finalize UI. 5pm – 7pm
  • Penultimate 2 hours, add Kongregate API/Scoring 7pm – 9pm
  • Finale : Bug testing 9pm – ??

So thats a little under 40 hours planned, with around 20 hours of actual work.

GLHF??

1. 10 hour day @@ [↩]

I’ve got around two and a half hours to kill right now, since exams are finished.
So in preparation for friday, I’m going to make a small micro game today. And ramble about some stuff.

Now @ http://www.yagerx.com/unfinite-ammo/

There it is, shoot stuff [WSAD] [LMB].
BULLETS GO THROUGH ENEMIES.
Ammo is also your health, High scores are local only.
Click to restart
Made it 2hrs 40 mins =D

You get 10 points per kill, 1 per every…uh while…

Please note that the game is DEFINATELY not balanced yet
Post ya high scores! You should be able to get 500+ easy =D

I try (subconciously) to keep the ultra-hardcore game specific talk away from the blog.
This is wrong. This is my space, sure I need readers, but hey, I can narrow my target audience once in a while right?

Anyways, today’s post is about this dude who’s a real guru at starcraft. Really long video below:¹

Oh and really cool “starcraft” video:

Music you say? Following the theme of competitive video game related shenanigans:

1. The Sean talking about his heritage [↩]

Some final details for this weekend’s “anti-famine”
I will start making a game at around 10pm on Friday (21st May) and end 2pm on Sunday (23rd of may).
Once the game is finished, I will put it up on Kongregate and put in a link to both my famine page and a paypal page. Though once world vision have finished collecting the money, I will remove the world vision link.
100% of the proceeds will go towards World vision, though the game is still my intellectual property and will be in no way under the ownership of World Vision.¹
Reiterating: Once the the famine collection period is over, all paypal donations will go towards this website’s hosting fees.²

So get ready for friday?
For premptive philanthropists – http://shar.es/mCWHM

Oh and I will be doing a live cast probably during saturday, more details on that later.

Song for today: A lighted hearted song for a heavy week

1. some nit-picky stuff I want to explicitly state so I don’t get mah game stolen [↩]
2. and if it somehow exceeds that, going towards purchasing software/hardware for MOAR GAMES! [↩]

Hum, my time with this blog might be limited as I’m not sure I’m able to pay for another year’s hosting… I have little over a month left,

SO! RESOLUTION:

Game a week.

Wait what?!? THATS RIGHT

GAME A WEEK.

The epic finale to the blog will start Sunday 23rd May and end on the last Sunday of my hosting June 20th.

The theme for this week? EPIC.¹

To start off:

Yea, epic huh?

Sutibly epic music:
