Drat :( In the end I didn't have enough time to add timing or irritating enemies to get in your way, but maybe I'll polish it and post a link over the weekend.

I was bored. After a few hours of coding over Saturday afternoon and this evening, I have this:

Retro Remakes best of 2007
4th January 2008

I just noticed that Retro Remakes put up a list of what they considered to be the best releases for each month of 2007. Looks like SoCoder took April by storm with Jayenkai's Hero remake "Greenie" and WW entry Millenipede getting a mention :) Good stuff!

How is everyone?
30th November 2007

Things aren't going too badly for me. I was relieved to find out that I wasn't one of the 7 people who got laid off from my workplace today - the section I'm in was never in huge risk, but still, knowing I still have a job is good.

#126 - The 2 Hour Challenge
24th November 2007

Ok, here's MixNMatch, coded using almost every second of the allowed 2 hours (about 117 minutes, excluding packaging time) :) If I hadn't made some stupid, stupid mistakes on the colouring code I could've knocked out 20 minutes from that... but oh well.

Trixels?

Fez looks like a really cool game, but at first glance I had no idea the 3D trixels were quite as involved. This just makes me want to play it even more :)

f4ktor Design - Texture Pack 01
25th June 2007

He was also banned for some length of time, I believe (though I could be wrong).
Those textures look great, f4ktor. I'm still bumbling around in the world of 2D so they aren't something I would use, but I hope you get some interest in them :)

Opinions on some logos
25th June 2007

I'm torn! :) But #2 and #3/#5 are my favourites. If I had to choose right this second I would probably go for #5. But it's a really close thing.
Fair comments Diablo, I see what you mean about the first logo. Maybe one way to get a more natural looking fl*snip*

I've added a slightly different version of the candle flame logo to the list of candidates.
Between no. 3 and no. 5, which do you prefer?

Thanks all for the feedback so far :)

@Diablo: None of them are animated at the moment. Don't mistake there being several versions of the same logo to mean it should animate*snip*

Krypton-Media.com
20th June 2007

Out of the two I like the first one best, just because it's a cleaner designer. Version 2 is cool, but I agree that the reflections could be toned down a little bit :)
Also - either design would look good with a secondary colour to add contrast. That's pu*snip*

After a gap of almost two years, I have recently started developing my long-term RPG project again. It's been my ambition to finish it since about 2003 so it is dragging on and on!
I'd like to think I can make some serious progress with it this year. Just*snip*

Do you make a design document?

I don't tend to write design docs of any sort. I'm cursed with a terribly picky attitude - almost to an obsessive level - so usually any document I write has to be formatted and laid out very precisely. I spend more time making it look nice than actually w*snip*

I'm no pixel artist sadly, so I can't really offer any advice for your running animation. The good thing with having small sprites though is that you don't need so much detail :) I'm sure someone can give you some pointers...
