I got a free 24-hour bolt-on data from my cellphone network. It's slow (GPRS), but still… now I'm trying to think of stuff to do before it runs out.

Anyway, I've been making some characters for the competition:

Kill me. They're not shaded, not antialiased, there's probably banding all over them… I CBA to fix them now. I have a total of 20 enemies, 5 bosses and a hoarde of items to sprite, so I'm NOT spending insane amounts of time on a single sprite. >:{

Try to guess the type of game.

In other news

I am still jobless. I couldn't even find work as a menial laborer. So now I'm investigating methods of internet-based income with one of my skills.

Hey, guess what? I messed it up. You see, when I formatted my HDD, I thought I had backed up the entire source tree.

In fact, I had only saved the oldest version to my flash-drive, and now I'm stuck with a more-minimal functionality version than I wanted. Oh well, gave me an excuse to re-design it.

Art

I drew a new avatar in 15 minutes while fighting off a pack of wild lions and balancing on an ostrich with one foot. South Africa is fun =3

Oh well. Back to sketching/composing/coding/procrastinating.

Those assegai (that everybody in South Africa carries with them at all times) sure come in handy, don't they?

Oh yeah. Always carry a few around on your back when you're making long journeys. Pack a .45 when you go to the shop.

You're quite right. These are concepts.

And I dare you to try to stop me from thinking (looks pointedly at Cyrus)
