Here's a Multiplayer Game Idea

Posted by Castypher on June 23, 2011, 11:34 a.m.

Just a thought. I haven't started the game yet but I've put some thought into it and so far it sounds pretty cool to me, to the point where I'd even start it today.

Intro

I like bullet hell elements where precision and dodging are key, and I wanted to …

Kilin's Top 10 Video Game Track Remixes

Posted by Castypher on June 20, 2011, 5:17 p.m.

Time for me to post another music blog, but not of my own. Xemic gave me this idea but I was lazy and forgot to do it.

Note that these are unofficial remixes, meaning they're basically fan-made, not in-game, not recognized by the creator, etc (though I think one or …

Most Replayable GM Game?

Posted by Castypher on June 9, 2011, 10:46 a.m.

There have been a few blogs lately with this sort of thing as their topic. While not all games can be compared to each other–some have better graphics, some have a better story, some have stunning soundtracks–many of those games that were left somewhere in the middle can find their …

Random Seeding in Bullet Hell

Posted by Castypher on June 6, 2011, 7:13 p.m.

As I mentioned before, I'm developing a bullet hell shoot-em-up, and also as I mentioned before, I talked with Purianite about random seeding. It's cool and all, but I've found very annoying problems with it so far. Maybe you guys can help me a bit.

seed1=timer;

random_set_seed(seed1);

random1=random(360);

seed1=random_get_seed(); …

New Video Card and Replay System in GM

Posted by Castypher on June 4, 2011, 9:24 p.m.

Ever since my new computer with the accidental Radeon 5450 video card, I've been looking forward to a new one for quite some time. I spent a few hours today doing some research. Before, I was looking at an nVidia card, then a bunch of ATI ones with slightly lower …

The End of the World Has Screenshots

Posted by Castypher on May 21, 2011, 10:53 a.m.

Screw the cataclysm that people think is going to end the world and mankind. The only thing that'll end the world on my watch is THE TERMINYS.

YEAH

So you can probably tell what this blog is going to be about. But first things first, a little life story. The …

What Makes a Good Interface? Share Your Knowledge

Posted by Castypher on May 16, 2011, 2:56 p.m.

So just a fun fact here. Apparently for the past week I've been having some minor anxiety. At first I was like "Why the hell", but when I actually thought about it, I'm on a strict deadline to finish a novel. Halfway through the month and only a quarter through …

A Music/Soundtrack Blog

Posted by Castypher on May 12, 2011, 5:23 p.m.

For a while I've wanted to make a music blog. I was searching for a site to host the files on so I could use 64D's handy audio player, but I couldn't. I settled on YouTube, which I really didn't want to because people can easily rip music from it. …

Novel in 30 Days

Posted by Castypher on May 1, 2011, 12:33 a.m.

I've officially begun. After finishing school with a little focus on game design and sketching, I've finally decided to try for a difficult, but fun little project that I mentioned before.

Here's the twist though. I'm doing a genre I'm not used to, and one I know nearly nothing about. …
