As shown in the last screenshot, I've already set out to demonstrate the size of the game's environment.

I'm currently working on the battle system. Firing canons seems strait-forward enough (pressing the space bar when the cannons are said to have been loaded), however, determining how ship react to …

GMG is down, YoYo Games, new projects...

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Feb. 19, 2007, 2:38 p.m.

GMG is down. When I asked Quimp at the GMC as for why, he said that Tapeworm told him it was a matter of bandwidth usage, and that the GMG has been consuming more than what their current plan offered. Darthlupi is in negotiations as far as I’m aware, and …

Reading Gaming News A Chore

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Jan. 17, 2007, 5:39 p.m.

I was listening to the radio the other day, a man whose name I forget was on NPR, and he was discussing the effect that the Internet has had on local newspapers. He concluded to say that the Internet has had local and national news outlets build an internet page …

Random Pictures of My Stuff

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Jan. 10, 2007, 7:19 p.m.

Being that I haven’t posted a blog entry in a while, and because I can’t think of anything to write about as of the moment (except perhaps to say I’ve updated my sokoban example, and the Dems better not screw things up), I’m going to post random pictures of my …

Information Overload

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Dec. 18, 2006, 5:58 p.m.

As I discuss the daily news with various people I know, it seems as if people are neglecting the significance of realizing that people on television are as human as ourselves more often than before, as if the divide between fact and fiction is becoming harder to imagine for ourselves. …

Patent Trolls

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Dec. 12, 2006, 5:06 p.m.

I read an article a couple of months ago about the issue of patent infringements concerning videogames in EDGE magazine (E165).

Quote:
RIM (Research In Motion) is the wireless solutions manufacturer behind the popular Blackberry wireless platform, and its protracted legal battle with patent-holding company NTP represents such a low …

Camping Out / Wii Injuries

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Nov. 28, 2006, 2:12 p.m.

Although I remember a lot from camping out, and I’ve tried to write a blog entry describing the event, I find it useless to get descriptive, so I will put it into a nutshell:

- Read an Internet rumor: Best Buy stocking 40-80 units per store

- Called up Best …

Party control shifts in D.C.

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Nov. 8, 2006, 5:41 p.m.

Now that the Democrats have won control of the House of Representatives, and soon the Senate, I can only hope that the victory will be used constructively.

A worst-case scenario in my mind for the Congress would mean that the Democrats begin to complain about what the Republicans had left …

A Changing GMG

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Oct. 3, 2006, 11:19 p.m.

I feel that GMG is changing. I can only say as much as my general thoughts understand, and it would seem that the community has become disrupted by a number of influences, producing a multitude of results, not to mention Kafei's obsessive rants.

The feeling that the GMG has been …

Red Cross Pins and Hurricane Katrina

Posted by RabbidMickeyMouse on Aug. 28, 2006, 8:05 p.m.

Last year, around this time, I began development on a game of mine, called Cities. I remember that week I spent developing it because of the incidents that surrounded hurricane Katrina, being that I keep the news on while I'm on the computer, as to drone any disrupting noises or …
