Hello World

     This bit always takes the longest, since I never know quite what to write. I should probably mention something about the election, but that ain't quite over yet, so instead I'll write a short poem.

     Here's another Newsletter.
     Sorry it's not better.
     Not been much posting.
     Guess I'll be padding.
     Here comes more Toobies.
     One contains boobies..

In the Workshop..
     *sob* *sob* *sob*

In the Shoutbox..
     Time Travel, tweets, and long lost posts.

In the Mudchat..
     Killing things
     Burning things
     Uploading things
     Not Changing things
     and Jay spending money that he probably shouldn't.

Worklogs

The Worklog!
     After Mog's suggestion, the Wednesday Workshop has now become a weekly Wednesday Worklog, where we all moan about getting nothing done

     That'll do me!

Things that got done
     JNKPlat
     Networking
     Team Fortress 2
     Revising
     Homework

Things that didn't
     JNKPlat Trailer
     A Game
     An experimental project
     An image
     Website work

And a whole lot more besides!
     Go and throw your own did/nots into the list.

Asking questions

     Sometimes when I ask, I get completely the opposite reply. Ask about how to do something simple, and instead get "why not install a 100Mb library to do it, and save yourself having to type 3 lines of code?"
     I find that infuriating.
     Why do YOU not ask questions?
socoder.net/?topic=1962

Incomplete

     All about those unfinished bits of pap that's still lying around inside your work directory.
     What haven't you finished?

3D Socks

     Spinal bought some 3D socks, but he couldn't get them to work correctly.
socoder.net/?topic=1967

Online Basic Interpreter

     Neat little thing where you can type in a proper BASIC style, and have the thing run your little programs for you.
     Y's upside down.

BestBuy opens in the UK

     This is the only link posted all week!?
     Really?!!?

Gravity Bombs


     If you took Shroom_Monk's swirly physics code, and wrapped a game around it, this is probably what you'd get.
     Or rather, try to wrap a game around it. This is more a fun plaything than a game!

Moshboy's Sequels

God bless you Slumlord/Moshboy!

Indie Games with Sequels

     < He's gone back to downloadables!


#1 - BulletZORZ!


     Hop on bullets to get around the levels, pick up the gems, and get to the exits. Nice looking Sketch based visuals, too.
     The sequel enhances the player's abilities, and switches the style to a crisper visual.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4OHvA2NuDU




#2 - Visit


     A platform box-puzzle game, where you have to switch colours to allow you to solve certain areas.
     The sequel gives you two players to switch between as you attempt the levels.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4xWXWKxs18





#3 - Prototype


     R-Type styled shooter, in a nice classic style, without MILLIONS OF BULLETS all trying to kill you all at once.
     Simple horizontal shooter, the way classics are meant to be!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhjxMY3zdkI




#4 - SYNSO


     Created by RetroRemake's own RobF, a nice arena shooter with REALLY REALLY REALLY difficult level settings!
     The sequel sooped everything up, Llamasoft style, and made things even more difficult!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmmQQKqgU50





#5 - Punishment


     A platformer with immense difficulty. It's like the Poing of Platformers. Make a mistake, and you'll very quickly end up back at the very first level.
     The second game is much tougher!

Pixel Prospector's Games

Can PixelProspector really be nearly done with his main site?
     He's got the logo, now all he needs is everything else!
     End of May, apparently!


The World as a Fishbowl


     A recreation of a game that the developer created as a child.
     It's a very nice looking game!
bit.ly/PPGames_Fishbowl





Shadows of Lylat


     An epic looking multiplayer space game, created using Freespace Open Engine.
     Looks really great, but .. eeek! Copyrights!
bit.ly/PPGames_Lylat




Life+


     A classically styled platform "shooter" game, where you collect your ammo from the world around you.
     Boatloads of lovely little animations in this game. Looks fantastic.
bit.ly/PPGames_Life





Curly Games!

Just the one game from CWF, this week.

Cosmicube


     A simple mouse controlled Ball-in-a-maze game, with nice lightup cube graphics!
     The graphics remind me of those tutorial levels in Metal Gear Solid!
bit.ly/CWF_Cosmicube




Rosemary


     A point-n-click game, where you switch between the game, and the character's memories, in order to try to find out what happened to a long lost friend.
     Created using the "Wintermute" engine, which looks like a kind of updated AGS creator. Kinda like a "Make-a-ScummVM" thingy. Mmmm.

Handy Progs

ISO Me (Realtime)

     Take a picture of a building, pick some corners, and bingo.
     This program will take that building, and generate an Isometric tile.
     Then you can fit it into whatever isometric, Sim City styled game you're trying to make!
