Hey. Well I've been programming away at my game for some time, off and on as the story goes, around all the wonderful Christmas events I've been attending. I decided to make one last video for the game to show off my progress and came up with this…

After I compiled the footage I realized it's pretty meh, little having changed since the last video, where someone exclaimed there wasn't any fun to be had. Well, rejoice; it's still not that fun. However, I am tired of it. I'm going to be slapping some storyboards on the front and back of this title and throwing it out into the internet cold.

change list:

- collectable crystals extend time limit

- collectable axe allow player to vaporize trees… just cause I got tired of trees :)

- jarring events will stir player awake in bed

- destroying crystal tree causes end-game scenario

- sound effects and contextual music

- blur (from Obelisk's suggestion [can't see it in video cause the FRAPS trial only records at 30 fps {I enjoy squiggly braces… but seriously, I should invest in the full version of FRAPS</rabbit trail>}])

- a little shinier

- I should have just made a free ski clone.

Oh yeah, I guess I haven't emerged since I there was a gigantic blog done up with my comment about Python on the top followed by streams of alphanumeric tears, and then I got some hate (this was some time before Christmas break). Since then I've made up with the person I hurt. Anyway, why don't we just talk about

Me and Python:

I refute the semi-literal interpretation of the statement I made that "python is a dead end road". It was for me, but not necessarily for anyone else. If you want to see what I made in python you can go here. Be aware that python and pygame are required for most of them… also, don't read the source code; you'll have a heart attack. My games ended up running too slow, and being super painful to turn into .exe's. EOF
