Finishing the Game

I had originally started Ludum Dare 21 in hopes of finishing a complete and coherent product, but I had to stop my entry due to personal problems. My final submission was a simple game with a meager four levels. I liked the concept, but the game lacked any substance to be of enjoyment.

So, now that I have the ability, I've decided to direct efforts into finishing the game. Its taken quite an upgrade and is now what I would actually call a game, rather than a concept. As of now, there are only 8 levels (World 1), but a world system is in place to make it easier to create more levels. The upgraded version also has a level select and a saving system which saves completed levels and the total amount of deaths. I want to have at least 5 worlds for the final version - the next ones should be coming soon.

Upgraded Version

For those of you who noticed, my game did in fact take a lot of inspiration from VVVVVV, specifically the tower level.

This Was A Triumph

And you make a neat gun, for the people who are still alive. So yeah, I'm still alive, and working on a whole bunch of new projects!

Cool People Discussing Video Games in Physics Class

So me and a group of friends have video game related discussions everyday in Honors Physics class. Literally like everyday. So we had the genius idea of recording our discussions and turning them into a podcast. So we did a pilot episode, and it turned out really awesome, thus spawning a whole series. You can check us out on iTunes here. If you're short on time, I'd recommend episode 8. It's probably our best so far.

Warped Reality

Reality sucks. So should blogs. Me and one of my most sarcastic friends decided to take it upon ourselves to make fun of stuff. Like what, you ask? Everything. Politics, sports, life - and even ourselves. Yeah, we make fun of ourselves. Check it out!

Sorry to Burst Your Bubble

So me and my friends decided to make a short video. It's pretty cool with some effects and music thrown in, as well as a bit of randomness.

Basic Math Engine

So I added a bit of tools to my Basic Math Engine site. It's sort of like a framework that I've created (running on Google App Engine) that I can use to play around with stuff and create my own tools, such as calculators. Among the tools added are a Euler's Method Calculator, a Directional Field Grapher, and a Density Map Grapher.

Ludum Dare 19 Entry

So I made a entry for Ludum Dare 19 (a 48 hour game making competition). Unfortunately, it was a bit to simple to compete with the many other awesome games that were made. You can check it out here.
