Dang that title sounds like something noobish you'd find on the GMC… and something I have seen on the YYG forums…

*cough*

Well, anyways, I'm not screwing around here. Some of you may or may not remember that innocuous little fault page I showed off a few months back. Blue …

A blog.

That's exactly what this is. A blog. I'm running out of meaningful titles.

First, have some music:

And proceed to ignore everything else.

I guess this is kinda a blog about game development. So let's talk about Exile.

As mentioned before, I was improving it. Tweaking the magic …

New Album: Best of 2012

Posted by Astryl on Dec. 15, 2012, 4:06 a.m.

One of my new years resolutions, according to an obscure .txt I discovered lurking in the My Documents folder, was to release an album/compilation by the end of the year.

So I did:

I've created three new tracks, and added in seven I decided are my 'best' works from …

I spent the night rootin' out a rootkit...

With my bare hands too.

So anyway, I've been using my PC dangerously since I upgraded it. Too lazy to install an Antivirus, too lazy to reinstall MalwareBytes. So it was bound to happen.

I was browsing the net looking for the FBX file specs, and somewhere along the line …

Tutorial 1: Setting up SDL

Posted by Astryl on Nov. 29, 2012, 6:33 a.m.

I've been thinking of doing a blog series on Game Development for a while now, though originally I wanted to do so on Tumblr. But quite frankly, every time I think of posting something on Tumblr, another part of me thinks it's just not worth the effort. 64Digits wins hands …

I was bored yesterday, and almost posted this…

Then my sister turned the router off… Armageddon ensued…

Or not. I was too lazy to turn it back on again… …

Yep. I made another one. No surprise. What can I say?

Made a new logo for my chiptunes. See below.

In other news, I spent half the day chopping down three trees in our backyard today along with my brother and my dad. Syringa trees. Causing us all …

Exile: Darkhold

Posted by Astryl on Nov. 15, 2012, 7:28 a.m.

In short, I've been working on Exile. Here are some new screenshots:

And at length, this is a 'sequel'. Or basically: The game as I wanted it to be.

Some new features include layered levels, diagonal blocks, and a faster paced magic based combat system (Projectiles move faster, cost less …

Nothing wrong with this picture...

Posted by Astryl on Nov. 13, 2012, 11:03 a.m.

That's a screenshot of my PC, circa 5 minutes ago.

Anyways, I had a great birthday yesterday… and resigned from my job today.

I was getting a lot of customer complains (Customers who dislike me for being English, being young, and from not being around here originally). So my boss …
