'Tis Wednesday! Hello People! [17]

Ugh! I was almost done with this entry and then I clicked X by mistake! Now I have to start all over! Argh! Okay… Here we go again…

No comment on the title. I really don't know what I was thinking. Oh well, you clicked it anyway. [:D]

So, I started another game project today. Don't worry, it's not a long term one, just a short one to keep me loose. It's just a good ol' 2D Space Shooter with Online Highscores. I hope to make one as addictive as Chain Reaction 2, but I'm not sure that's even possible. So far, I've done one sprite, the movement and menu engines, and a midi to play in the background of infinite mode. I'm not sure if it's done or not, but go ahead and listen, and tell me what you think. [:D]

And two people volunteered to look into helping me think of a name for my RPG/RTS type game. I haven't heard back from them yet, but I suppose these things take time. [:)]

And did anyone see this:

[dat="Poll"]

Which version of Game Maker do you use?

GM7(96 votes)

GM6.1(103 votes)

GM5.3A(1 votes)

Not Applicable(11 votes)

[/dat]

Only one person who voted uses GM5. Haha! I wonder who, I'd be interested in finding out. I'm actually surprised by the large amount of people who've switched to the dark side. (GM7) I guess it could be because of the whole "GM6 doesn't work with Vista" thing. I'm still using GM6 though, I might make alternate versions for Vista compatibility, but I'm developing them in GM6.

And time for that part of my little chunk of 64D that makes you go: "What does that have to do with anything!?"

It's the Yoyo Games enforcers! Guess who forgot to credit Yoyo on their GM7 game? [:P]

What does Wallace and Gromit have to do with anything?

Also, I'm guessing that one person that happened to put GM 5 was just screwing with the poll, cuz he's a rebel.

I use GM 5.3 on my older computers only because they can't run 6.1.

It's awesome for developing multiplayer games though… 4 networked comps building mansions, slashing tails, smashing heads, swishing light sabers through the air…

Awesomeness =)

No, it's just a joke, did you see the new EULA for GM7? [:P]

Oh wait, I meant it as a cation for the Wallace and Gromit picture if that's what you mean.
