Still working on the battle system (original mockup was http://bb.hbgames.org/upload/t.png). It's really getting somewhere, but it doesn't look like it at the moment:



Regardless of the looks, it is actually nearly done if you take _1, _2, as being "placeholder variables" for longer html strings that will create the messages in the mockup screenshot. (In actuality, the battle log is a string in the form "1_2_3_4_3_1_9_2" which will be broken down into an array in the form [1, 2, ... 2], that will be linked to an array of html messages, so as to ease database storage. Make sense?)

I'm learning Game Maker!

wtf is up with yoyo games? the entire site- main page, forums, blogs, is down.

and i actually wanted to try the maker out

uhhh... no it's not?

I'm trying to learn Ruby; starting with small things so I don't get discouraged because I'm a big dumbface that has zero aptitude for programming.

By the way, if any of you have aim, shoot me a PM. I would love to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

Staring in jealousy at BwdYeti's FE fan-game

Oh, and I'm doing real character art now - no concepts! And I may just have a story :P

trying out game maker 8. the different between this and rm is startling; i guess i should get used to that.

I'm batting around character designs and marvelling at how easy things suddenly get when you ask for help. I should be able to make some legitimate shown-in-editor progress by the end of the week, and then start a thread and open opt-in appearances.

Nearly done my battle system, just some language issues (enemies come out as "you" lol)

The storyline is moving along nicely. I'm also working on puzzles and gameplay for the remodeled first dungeon, the Golmar Mines. Yeah, that's right, actual progress, now that summer's come!

so right now I'm putting some finishing touches on my game's GUI (coded from scratch :shades) and working out how to incorporate user input. i'll probably end up making an array full of strings of all the possible commands, then make a for loop so that the game checks the user input and sees if it equals any of those commands. if yes, which one, and what will it do, if not, error message. something like that.

i'm making an old fashioned text-based adventure game, by the way.

Took a few days off due to my Nan and now I can't get the energy back up to continue. :(

Ive been working on a 2-D platformer where you save your android lover. Almost done with the first 10 levels. ~woot~

praying at least one person uses my new script lol other then that playing runescape

Trying to think how I can make this battle system more interesting.

The concept is fun, and playing it itself is cool, but it just looks bland and uninteresting.

Thoughts:

• Animated sprites between lines
• More graphics, such as icons on the buttons and such
• Sound effects
• Ambient music

My new tablet finally got here, so I'm really stoked. Working on battlers right now.

I am not doing anything particular.
Still tring to get used to RMVX features and how they work. When I'll have more confidence with the engine and a decent knowledge of the scripting language, I might start working on some simple rpg projects.

I'm going to start using all the time I should have a job working on a game instead (while I haven't got a job that is).

looping a couple good chiptunes, drawing up a couple more character things before I get to spriting.

dreading tileset creation. might have to make things a little more derivative of existing works than I expected -- palettewise, at least. I am many things, but I am also colourblind.

Trying to figure out how I'm going to animate/map a good funeral scene, any suggestions? (it's in the snow)

Been slacking a lot to be honest.

About to write in my novel because I neglected it for a while >.>

Doing character art line-art... :(

Trying to think up a few event systems. Not going well. And trying to get the motivation to redo my cloyster of trials system. From memory. All I can remember right now is that states come into play. Oh and that the order of the event pages is important.

Downloading everything I can so that I will have enough material for the 25 hour trip to vietnam and vietnam itself...

my best is about 200 Kilobytes a second, and with the fact that I got 40 hours left, that's 200 * 60 * 60 * 44, divided by 1000 to convert into MB, meaning I possibly can download 30 gigs worth of shit left if I allocate all my downloading bandwidth for 44 straight hours...

Was considering modding GTA3 but it's got boring again.

I'm doing character concepts and a basic storyline for a new idea I got. Basically it's a the Wolf man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-esque game. Also trying to see what battle system will I use?

Oh yeah, and working on my Triweekly game, but that's not important.

Procrastinating. And trying to work out how to mod GTA3.

Currently farting

Trying to work out how to use the GTA3 map editor. This is confusing.
