[Title Goes Here]

   So, me and Ben, my life partner and "Game Colleague", where discussing a name. The game is going to be a zombie kinda game, but more based on avoiding and surviving, than trying to blow the thing's brain 50 feet away. Now don't get me wrong, that's great, and there's going to be some epic Ragdoll physics, and not as much blood. We're more focusing on the actual gameplay then the graphics. And for a change, it's not about the bloodshed. Actually fairly little blood.
   SO! What does this mean for you?? It means that if you actually read this and you have ideas, and your idea is a GOOD one, we might use it! To the lucky top 10 ideas, you get a FREE DOWNLOAD, like everyone else in the world! BUT, your name will be included in the Special Thanks block of the credits. So, shine on you crazy diamond. Think of ideas. Only one will be featured per person. So, yeah. Have fun.

Rejecting your Reality

The term "lol" has always pissed me off.

Actually come to think of it, pretty much every text lingo has pissed me off. I think of it this way: "LOL DID U C THT GYZ FCE? LKE TTLY OMG ROFL" and the fact that almost EVERY word is spelled wrong, or not even spelled. I thought these things where getting more sophisticated, not back to cavemen crap.

But that's not what this post is about. It's about love. Love is what binds us, love is what kills us. So, yes, love is no heaven or hell, nor limbo or purgatory. It's just there. And like love, video games are there. They can be evil things, or the greatest things ever.


Just a thought.

October the First

You know what that means, it's finally October, which means fall, which means Halloween... my favorite holiday. 

But, October 1st marks the beginning of the new game. Here's the plan:

A. Spend 2 Months Planning, figuring things out,
B. Spend 1 Month Finding programs for our help
C. Spend 6 Months Programming! Art! Music! AH!
D. Spend 4 Months in Beta... PLAY TESTING TOO!
E. Spend 3 Months perfecting it!
F. Spend 2 Months in Alpha... More Play Testing!
G: Spend the final Month Perfecting the heck out of it!

Then I'll set a date and release this bad boy.  But now it's time for more leaking!

The game's based on physics. It's gonna be a platformer too though, so not much like World of Goo. It's gonna be like the My Sims games, kinda.

Dude, where's my head?

This post is about neither Heads or decapitation or dudes. Well, I am a dude, so it does have dudes involved.

So, Yeah, More on this game I've been talking about. It involves Wheels and Physics. BOOYA!

Paul von Ebers v.s. the World

With both Stage Crew and Homework, I haven't much time to post, so for the 5 of you who read, come back and read this:

New Game is being announced SOON... It's still kinda experimental, kinda unknown... but I can't really say much more about it because I don't know much more about it yet XD

Well, I'm off to fix a hole where the rain gets in.

Pressed in a Book

Two weeks ago marked HIGH SCHOOL, Freshman year. So I've not much time to post, due to be almost literally Pressed in a Book. Which is also a great song, probably the best in Oh, Inverted World.

But, like the Shins, that's neither here nor there as I have NEWS!!!!!!

With XCode in hand, I've started PROTOTYPING for a new GAME!! It's called First Law, based on Inertia. MORE TO COME...!

Raving Rabbids Travel in Time... NOT A PLATFORMER!

   So, unlike the first in the series, Rabbids go Home (which I thought would be the last in the series, but no) the next game coming sometime next year- IS NOT A PLATFORMER! What the hell Ubisoft? What's next, turning Myst into a Party Game? I sure as heck hope not.


  And a game is in the works by Yours Truly...

MindFlow #1

Hey, guys, this is a thing I'm starting.  You get to peak at the words that are floating around in my head, and try to depict what it means. "Sex" will not be there, so don't look. It's not in an order, just the words as it comes to me.  COMMENT, if you read, tell me what the hell you think this means, and also any therapists reading, is this normal?

Here goes:

Happy, JtHM, ZIM, GIR, Comics, love, cheese, salted nuts, Apple Inc, 9:33, phone, iPod, paper, sharpie, starving artist, Alice, grey, confusion, sharp thing, blood, ouch, other things, my head, itch, scratch, too much, pain, water, glass, Socrates, Shiny, shower, 9:35, words, buttons, Safari, Toast, more blood, No More Naked Popcorn, more words, bottle, Frankenchokie, headphones, speakers, cartoons, thinking, loading, shirt, stain, Jhonen Vasquez, TV, Half-Life, butter, headache, stopping.

Wow, that's terrible.

Canceling [Home]

'Twas a short life, but I now realize that Animation and Cartoons is where I excel, so I'm doing that.  And the fact that I found a totally awesome software that lets me make stop motion stuff, that's what I'm working on now.  So for those of you few readers that where hoping to get a game... well, sorry.  Plus XCode was deleted, and I can't get it back.  Oops.   Well, I'm putting some of my art up sometime for you to see.


That's it for now.

The Unofficial Official Theme for [Home]

Well, I was thinking that I need a theme song for the game.  Ya know, because that's what I think about when I'm bored, or really when I'm just thumbing through my iPod.  So, after thinking quite a bit (and ranting about Green Day to Mark, my younger brother) of that, I've decided that Yomp by that band know one I know knows (too many knows) thenewno2.

Well, it's not the best song ever, but for some reason I think it suits it.  Although I think as I'm listening to another song it might be something else.  It's raining outside now... I can hear thunder... and I don't like it either.  I can't think and/or sleep during a thunder storm.  Well, I should stop talking randomly before you don't wanna read this blog anymore.

[Home]

[Home] is a game, about going home after a big adventure.  I was thinking about a show called Adventure Time, and it just kinda hit me.  It felt like it might have been done before, but it's something I haven't seen, and would like to see actually made into a game.  I got interested in making games after World of Goo. My neighbor introduced me to the game while I was at his house.  I liked Kyle Gabler's style, it was so happy, yet so demonic at the same time.  He's just got Indie Fund up and running, something I'm happy about.  It could help me into the future.  Anyway, just thought sense it's a Dev blog, and [Home] is in development, why the hell not.

A Mad Idea

Ok, I've decided to do a comic.  Based on Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland.  But, to make things seem better, I'm reading the original books first.

For now, I'm working on Character Sketches, ideas, more things, changing things (The Jabberwocky battle is something I want to make much better, and the rabbit is going to be different... somehow).  Basically, I loved Tim Burton's version of it, and the disney version, is, the only Disney movie I can stomach (Sorry Quinn, Claire, and my other friends who disagree, but I'm entitled to my own thoughts).  So, I said one day, why not?  I've been meaning to make a comic for a while, and figured this would be a great area to begin.

I'm heavily Influenced by Johan Vasquez's Invader Zim, and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.  I love those demonic style cartoons, and always love drawing.  Another role model of mine is Edmund McMillen, the maker of Meat Boy and Aether, two of my favorite online flash games.

Well, I don't have any more news for now.
