Hey,

I have not blogged in .. weeks I think, so it's hard to start a blog entry. I guess now I have to write a long story for you to read, eventhough I think that you would care less about my things or blog. And as I'm just talking about how difficult it is to start a blog, I notice that I already have a start for my blog. … That's so weird. Well, I'm weird.

Personal life, the most interesting part of this blog for you, is going well I think. I have a girlfriend, again, after the breakup, and yes, the same girlfriend I had before, and I think this will last .. now. I don't want to brag or anything, but if you are having problems with your time using, get a girlfriend. They need lot's of time and they are fun to play with. … I'm having some trouble with my friend, though. He's annoying to me, but there's a little thing that makes me not hit or tease or kill or kick him, so I will need to stay friends with him for now.

Game development is going well too. Project Mansikkamäki, which I introduced in the previous blog, is almost ready to be released here. I know, I know.. It's already released in the Finnish Game Maker forums, but I want to be sure that it will be succesful here when I release it.

I added some things that I would like to inform here:

Weapon unlocking. In this new beta, you will not have all the weapons in the beginning, you have to kill enemies or collect upgrade boxes to unlock them. It's really fun this way, trust me. Clouds. They are afterall useless, but they give a nice touch to the scene I'm trying to make for PMM. Adds to the "cuteness factor" and professionality. Different flowers with different colors. (!!) You-killed-someone text. A really funny random function added for that, it randomly chooses a verb(?) for the sentence and it makes it a little bit funny to kill someone. "You haxored bunny." "You bunnified yourself." etc.

Random lag and bugs deleted. Finally, I was able to destroy those annoying crashes and bugs that tortured me for weeks and weeks. Yay.. But there's still bugs that need to be fixed. AI was made better, but still, it's not ready. They need to walk around and if they see another bunny, make it the target and try to kill it. Mm.. That would be sweet. Respawning messages and player respawning to the game. If you play a little while, the level will get so bloody that it makes the game look like a ketchup factory game. Just kidding, but it's still a lot of blood. Blablabla..

- " We don't want to see text, give us some screenshots!! "

- " Screen 1. Screen 2."

Have a nice day .. night .. afternoon or whatever. It's almost night in here so, I'm going to do my homework for tomorrow.. The school is going to end in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to get to my spring vacation. Mm.. Strawberrys. (=Mansikka)

Laama.

Hey those stripey block graphics are nice in those screenshots! Mm… If I have some minigame project (that I never let go in to the wild as always) I maybe use that same idea ;)

Thanks. =)

I think the release is going to happen soon, but we'll see. I have a four day vacation here from school, so I'm going to focus all my power to PMM. Hoping that I would get to start the multiplayer making. =D

Oddly enough, I always thought you were female, so I'm like 'WTF Lauri is a lesbo wtf?'

Anyway, cant wait for PMM. There will be an english version, right?

Haha, I've heard that many times, so don't worry. =)

PMM is just a project name, so the game will be in english.

Menu screenshot for you. =)
