So, I finally got around to redoing my Jayenkai Archive site.
In the end, I scrapped the all-new edition, and simply rejigged/tweaked/prodded/poked the old one back into submission! All's well that ends well, and the site's looking all kinds of lovely, now. socoder.net/?topic=3901
I still have a bunch of features planned that I'd like to start implementing, but inbetween writing AGameAWeek, and also having to create logos and icons for all 300+ games that are in the archive, it doesn't look like I'll be getting around to that any time soon!
But, hey, at least it works now, unlike a couple of days ago when I'd tweaked it, saved it, uploaded it, and left it completely fudged for a good hour or so without realising!
D'oh!!
I don't think anyone noticed.. They didn't complain, anyway!
DNA finds one of those "Colour Palette Creation" tools online. Worryingly, it's made by Adobe, but it doesn't appear to install 17Gb of crap, since it's entirely run inside your browser.
According to the tool, Platdude's colour-scheme is damn near perfect. But then, I already knew that. socoder.net/?topic=3897

Steve is having issues with his controller input. Seems it occasionally "misses" your inputs, and ignores what you're trying to do.
Any suggestions? socoder.net/?topic=3898
; Allegro
HotShot is trying his hand at Allegro 5, but having all sorts of issues getting it to do anything useful.
Libraries are generally a pain to get up and running, but they're super-awesome once you do manage it.
The trick is to keep trying, and hope for the best.
.. And then never EVER format your harddrive, or you have to start it all over again!!! socoder.net/?topic=3900
CaffeineKid's attempt at "Definitely Not Flappy Birds" features a little rocket which has to make it's way past a series of tubes. It "looks" a bit like a Flappy Birds clone, but it controls very much differently, and is an entirely different beast.
Give it a whirl!
Seems like popular indie developer @Brandonnn has ended up with that evil of evils, The Big C.
As an unemployed indie dev, he's obviously facing troubles.
As an American unemployed indie dev, he's facing a complete and total financial meltdown. Way to go, America. Awesome healthcare systems. No problems, whatsoever.. :/
As such, he's set up a donation fund, in the hopes that everyone can KickStarter him back to good health. www.gofundme.com/brandonnn

Bill Gates reclaims his place at the top of the "I KAN HAS ALL OF TEH MUNIES?!" leaderboard.

; To Sub or Not To Sub
Little Lever's on-again, off-again relationship with Subway seems to be nearing it's conclusion, as it appears that the local KwikSave store is going to be getting a mini-subway inside the store!
This is awesome news to anyone* living in the nearby area, as the closest Subway is a whole bus journey away, and Jay can't travel that far! socoder.net/?topic=3854
*anyone = Jayenkai
And last but not least, but definitely least, and most definitely last, is that Talky-based interview that finally managed to get done.
Don't listen to it!!! socoder.net/?topic=3878
This section is blank due to lack of anything interesting.
I tried for a good hour or two, but didn't manage to find anything randomly dumb enough to fit here.
