Ooook. Mainly just doing this because I have not blogged since May 1st, and that is a bit large of a gap, even for me.
I don't want this to be a RC sized blog so I'll just breifly explain my summer. I drank soda and played my xbox360.Anyyyway, 10th grade sucks so far, school food is worse then its ever been and more costly, and I'm bored. That's what school's like.Right now I'm in some sort of uncreative stage. Normally I'd be easily willing to make this blog much longer but I just lack the willpower to devote the time into that. If that makes much sense.Now at least TRYING to add detail, I've started working on my game again. I don't want to list too much as it's in super pre-Beta stage right now, but basically, it's a top down shooter. And yeah, you might be thinking, there's enough, but by the time I've finished it'll probably be sometime around 2015 and the current topdown's such as Adrenaline and The Havoc Agency have been lost in the depths of time, along with a lot of other games, making mine cutting edge. Of course, if you can wait. So if anyone wants to be in the beta's… eh. First person who posts gets to be, along with some others who basically already test it, or just deserve it.I'm planning, for each "major" release, to have 3 primary things:1. A decent graphic boost2. Multiplayer update (which doesn't exist as of now)3. 1 or 2 campaign missionsSo just put that, add with the fact I'm a very novice gm'er, busy, and lazy, and you can only guess why it'll take me 6 years. It's already over a year old.Due to the poorly drawn graphics, and the fact it is subject to change, I'll just post a couple small pictures.This is just a MP5 I drew. Took a couple minutes, and actually, it's probably the best thing I've drawn.Stuff I just typed.

tl;dr
Here's a tip, if you want something to be good, WORK HARD ON IT. Not a few minutes' worth.
Lol, I'm lazy with GM too. It's been a couple years and I'm still mostly focusing on graphics in my game. I'm in 10th grade too!!! Wooo….
If you're not, good formatting works wonders for even the worst code. Things like tabbing blocks (like inbetween if statements, for loops, so on), putting parentheses around your conditions, and ending each line with a ;
Of course, good syntax highlighting also works wonders :DNice.
But everytime you post sprites as jpegs, a child implodes.I thought I'd momentarily reinstate the long gone 64D tradition of screenshotting hit counters at signifigant figures:
I still do that whenever the moment arises. :(
it just doesn't seem to occur as often
Thanks Marbs. The font shows up different for you.. hm..
