Lost Civilization (Alpha) uploaded!

I uploaded a very early release of my Game Maker game, ‘Lost Civilization‘. I hope you head over to YoYoGames and give it a try. It still has a lot of work to be done to it, but it is playable. I would love to receive some feedback, and direction on how you think the game should go.

XNA game in the works!

Well I’m working on my XNA game that I talked about in my last post. I have also bought an Xbox 360 Pro to test it on, and upload it with as well. I’m hoping to get it done in time to be in this years Dream, Build, Play competition. I have also just started doing video updates on a cool new website called 12seconds.tv. Its pretty cool, and as the name says, it lets you post videos, that can only be 12 seconds. It sounds strange, but its cool, and you should try it!

New game, new update!

I have decided to buy an Xbox 360 Pro. I know I already had an Xbox 360 Elite, but that was like a year ago, and now I want a 360 again. Plus, I have a good reason, I’m going to be making an XNA game. For those of you that may not know what XNA is, its basically just the software, or framework, that you build games for Windows, and games for the Xbox 360 with. I have not decided what kind of game I’m going to make yet, but I have a lot of ideas, that’s for sure!
On my last post, I talked about how I was making a game for a contest on YoYoGames.com. Well I did begin to make a game for the competition, but like a lot of things with me, it never got completed, for one reason, or another -I don’t even know why I didn’t complete it now :). The game was called ‘Lost Civilization’, and I got it to where it was playable, and was pretty near completion of it, but it still needs a lot of bug smashing to do, among other things. I’ve been wanting to finish it lately, but don’t know when I will get around to it -if i ever will. I might just throw it up the way it is on YoYoGames as a beta -more like Alpha really :). I will however put a screenshot of the game in this post for you all to see!
I have made a few new videos, and put them up on YouTube, but nothing great, just me rambling about things. Mostly just about my new iPhone, and no, not the new iPhone 3G, but the first iPhone. I got it when it was the only iPhone, that shows how updated I keep my blog. I will tell you what, I will promise to post more, if you all tell me you want to see more posts, more often. Just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll see it. It will encourage me to write more, if I know someone is really reading it, LOL!
Well, I’m going to sign off for now, I hope this was a good enough update for you! Till next post, I’ll C-U!

Wow, Its been to long!

Sorry about the lag in communication. I’ve just been so busy doing nothing! (AKA being lazy) I haven’t even but out any good videos on YouTube lately! I have put up a few little “editing experiments” to hold you over LOL :). I hope to have some cool videos up soon, and to update my website more often. I just spent a few hours getting this site up and running more smooth. It was kinda falling apart after I updated its software a few weeks back. I hope you like the new look. Leave me some comments on my new Disqus commenting system I have installed on the blog, and tell me what you think. While I haven’t updated my blog much, or put up any interesting videos, I have been posting updates on twitter more often. I have been doing more of them because I got an iPhone, and it makes it easy to twitter anywhere! I have also been posting some interesting stuff on my Tumblr log, along with some pics from my iPhone that I post while on the go! While I hope I hear from you in the comments, and I’ll keep everything more updated from now on! :)

Just checking in.

Okay, so I have decided that my show on hacking, modding, fixing, and all around taking things apart, is going to be called HackThat. I have already registered the domain HackThat.tv, where I will be posting all the videos for the show. I have only just started to get the site up and running, so it does not look like much right now. I am also pretty sure that I am going to be uploading the videos to the internet using MetaCafe, because they offer $5.00, for every 1000 views, which I think is pretty good! Especially sense YouTube only gives me…. hmmm…. well nothing. I also have been working on a game for a competition over on YoYoGames.com. In case you do not know about YoYoGames already, its a website where you can upload games that have been created with a program called Game Maker, that well, lets you make games. The completion is for the best casual video game based on an ancient civilization. I only have about 30 days left to complete the game, and I only have just started on it, so I am trying to make a very simple to make game. I will fill you all in on the game later on, when I get a little more of it done.
