Yes, the "Kiklin" was intentional. Talk to Serprex about it.

Don't mind that bit. That's for my own personal reference and even if it was unfronted, people would comment on it anyway.

So, 64Digits, long time no blog (at least not a real one). I've been busy with all the things my HITS counter accuses me of, and rain, and other things, and my novel. Yeah.

But Game Maker? No. Why? Hell if I know.

Anyway, I released this game back in January before I got back into school, and haven't touched it since. I've been meaning to finish it, but it is, in essence, complete.

Project Falconwing is a space shoot-em-up with a mild background story, powerups, waves, and lots and lots of bullets. Someone recommended on my previous graphics to follow the design presented in Varia, but honestly PFW doesn't compare to Varia.

It was a quick contest entry: one level, two bosses, and a highscore table. I've added content since the release, but they won't show in this version.

Among the changes are:

-New site

-New highscore table

-New kickass music

-Added another level (and a boss)

-Added more effects

-Changed the tutorial

-Changed the intro cutscene

-Changed the difficulty levels

In other words, NNNAACCC.

Project Falconwing

Go play it, because the only people that rated it were the ones that took one look at the screenshots, and those that were IN the competition, and downrated me because they didn't want me to do well. Go be pals and up that for me, willya?

If I have to bribe you, here's a picture of a cat hitting a chicken.

Also, who the hell keeps banning Prometheist? Is it really that hard to understand that he's probably got the same signup IP because he's my brother? Geez, someone fess up and at least let me know who.

Dammit, the game has a ghost bug based on a memory leak. I've been working to fix it for quite some time now, but I guarantee it is playable (probably depending on your computer).

Now as far as I've gotten reports from, you can start up the game just fine, but only when you play it for long periods will it crash. The error you're coming up with is something I haven't heard of or seen, so I'll keep my eye out.

And with every passing day, it counts further. Thanks.
