Well since the new topic in the last GM8.1 blog is GM versus C++ (and now Java), I'd probably get better results by making a blog of my own.

But first, I should say I may have just had my first experience being tipsy. I know that's supposed to be embarrassing, since many of you have probably been drunk off your feet before. But I'd always have a couple drinks for the taste and the experience and the ability to say I'd had some. I don't drink to get drunk, nor do I ever want to be drunk.

Well, I sat down to do some writing, and had a glass of white wine that my mom bought earlier. By the end of the glass, I had some trouble collecting my thoughts, and then I realized why. It's not the first time I've had white wine, or the first time I've had a glass that big. I've had more than twice that amount of wine at once. I just had food in my stomach before, and I was pretty damn hungry just now.

Then I decided writing wasn't such a good idea.

So onto the content. I just got the crack for GM8.1, because room zooming among other things sounded useful. As you may have heard, the crack I got changes the title bar to "GayMaker 8.1." I'm probably going to look for a different crack just because while it was funny the first time, it's just annoying now.

What I want to know is for anyone else who bought/obtained GM8.1, does the game crash on Vista or Windows 7 at all? Whenever I first start up the program, pressing F5 always makes it run fine. But after a little while, it'll tell me "Failed to run the game." Is anyone else getting that? If not, what are your solutions?

If nothing else, I may just stick with GM8. They're not that different, and 8.1 only had a few upgrades (and is hidden in the roaming data folder).

In game development news, I've picked up LODM again and am doing some work with characters. Why, if I were any good with pixel art, I'd have something to show already. But I don't. Except a list of about forty new characters.

But I will have progress blogs soon. Also on Prism Soul, my other focus as of late. Shit, I hate having so many projects.

And just for those people who are going to complain at me, I'll probably buy GM8.1 just to clear my conscience, but I stopped supporting GM just because of some of the recent changes they've made. Let's punish the loyal users by promising free upgrades then failing to come through with it and jacking up both new and upgrade prices with every version!
