Hopefully I'm fully rested, now, and am ready to get back into coding.

Developments

SoCoder2 is now up and running, and for the most part it seems to be going fairly well.

Developments

I keep trying to tweak things, like the Private Message system, or Newsletter or other things, and it's getting harder and harder to juggle both versions of the site at the same time.

Heading back in time, once more, I found myself working on the Workshop, yesterday.

As each game is released, and player comments are posted, I'll try my best to make these posts as complete as I can. Feel free to leave your own comments, and I'll add them to the pile. This week, player's thoughts on (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/0407">Thwackity Puttz)

Golfing! Thwack the ball for all it's worth.

Oh.. Workshop... :

Yesterday I got the ball-thwacking physics working to within a half decent standard.

Last night's final set of uploads was done about 11pm, in an attempt to fix up a few "quirks" which had arisen during my battles with the level generator.

Developments

I'm getting near to the goal, now. The game seems to have a good feel, and I spent about 20 minutes last night ensuring that every single one of the 81 (9x9 grid) levels would generate without any crazy array-out-of-bounds errors.

Watching

I watched the UbiSoft E3 conference, yesterday.

The titlescreen music is (URL "https://soundcloud.com/alodare/journal-undertakings">here) Both might change.. We'll see!

I figured I should give a brief explanation as to how I'm generating the levels in RetroRaider. This might become a regular series, so if you find this stuff interesting, be sure to let me know in the comments or email or twitter or whatever.. For RetroRaider, the map is split into an 8x8 grid, and each of those are split into a top and bottom. For the sake of making things easier on myself, I decided to make an 8x16 grid.

Each week, people share their thoughts with my games, and I like to make little community topics where I can answer/comment on their comments! It's a comment-o-rama!

@TimeKillerGames

I find a little more effort could be put in to the title screens of some of your more recent games. Why not do what you used to do, and add a little more visuals of some kind to it?

A stupid annoying dripping noise kept me awake, last night.

Bert's stumbled into a maze full of evil Mummies! Help him get back out again.

Having gotten most of the important bits of SoCoder2 into place, I started work on a couple of themes for the thing.

After last night's Game-Coding session, I decided to do a "minor" tweak to SoCoder2..
