I've done shit loads of things lately, mostly constructive, surprisingly. Here's some of the things that I've been up to:
Drawings:well, I've done some doodlin lately, the most recent was a Super Meat Boy drawing,(I drew this like a half an hour ago actually, luls) which I felt an urge to draw, for some reason. I'm not done yet, might add some more to it, eventually.My game:Tons and tons of changes, so many I've lost count. Many changes some people will appreciate.Since AG doesn't like the idea of earning money in my game's Survival mode, I was trying to think of ideas that don't slow down and ruin the experience, one was just simply changing the word "money" to "resources" and you'll earn more recources to build defenses. You'll earn resources simply by just Surviving over time. Next idea(that I don't really like) is using items found from dead enemies to craft defenses. The more complex the item you're trying to craft, the more slots there will be.for example,"Simple" - two slots (ex: to build simple wooden fences, barbed wire etc.)"Experienced" - three slots(ex: to build simple traps that require multiple materials)"Advanced" - nine slots(Minecraft style ex: build complex defenses like laser defenses)Crafting sounds too complex for my taste, but just throwin some ideas out there. But, of course, if I choose to do the earning money or resources idea, players will still be able to buy fences, barbed wire and other things. It will make the game simpler, and much easier to play. Which IMO would be much better. Which one sounds best to you?Hud redesigns:I was thinking of ways to make the hud better and less cluttered, came up with this:I'd like to know what you think about it.LA Noire:Just got it 3 days ago, after getting my xbox back. Much better than I expected. Many people had some bad opinions about it, making me not want it before. I'm close to ending the game, on the third disc now(the 360 version comes with 3 discs). I think it's the most shocking and disturbingly realistic Rockstar game yet. BUT I like John Marston as a better character than Cole Phelps. Red Dead Redemption's story felt more personal and you can better understand the character's motives and why he's doing it. In LA Noire you feel disconnected from your cases until late in the game.Okay, that's all, for now.EDIT: Also, sorry about not releasing the next Alpha this month like I promised, for the very few people actually looking forward to my game. It should be releasedDrawings + Game Updates + LA Noire

I wasn't meaning to complicate things. I was just saying basically it should apply to the game. If it works it works, no one would mind really. For the crafting thing, I think 2 or 3 slots at most for an action game. No more.
I like the drawing too.@sir Xemic @JID
@AG
yeah, this idea will be very challenging to implement, will be very time consuming too. ard, there will only be 3 slots max.i kno, im immortall too
