Way way way back in time, I got an Amiga 600 for Xmas.Loading up DPaint for the first time, I wanted to test how much I could do with it's animation feature. DPaint IV had two animation modes. Full Frame or Compressed.  With compressed, as long as you stuck to minor changes, you could get a decent number of frames out of it.  In Full Frame mode, I could typically get 4 frames of animation!!  With the newfangled Mouse control, I scribbled a silly little 4 page cartoon.

As with all years, this year's had it's ups and downs. After last year's Gap-Year, it felt good to get back into the thick of things, and I started the year off with some rather odd ideas. As the year went on, the ideas fizzled out, and we got back into regular "Dodge the X, Collect the Y" territory, which is a bit of a shame. And then there was the EPIC disaster that is Gamma Collexion.

A bit of a stumbling block, yesterday..

Getting to the sluggish bit of Framework Development, now.

Developments

With the credit screen sorted, I moved on to the Game Over screen.

Developments

More of the same, as I continue to build up the new version of the Framework.

It's been 4 years since I created my original Monkey Framework. Although it's true that it's had the odd nip and tuck over the years, it's certainly starting to show it's age. The complete and utter disaster of Gamma Collexion, (whereby the multiplayer code failed SPECTACULARLY) was the final straw.

Developments

Not much else going on in the world of AGameAWeek, this month.

Yesterday I made a start on the frontend of the new framework.

Geeze, I can't believe I forgot to transfer my Emulator Archive to the new Laptop.

Much of the coming week's blogs will be "I worked on the framework some more."

Developments

The new framework is coming along nicely.

Developments

Yesterday I started the task of recreating the entirety of my AGameAWeek Monkey-X Framework.
