The end of my leave period, that is. I go back to San Diego tomorrow, and then it's back to work the following day.

I also plan to end my break from Pokemon Purple, and resume development of it on the 10th. My failed attempt of a game for F4D …

Earlier today, I added a splash screen to my F4D project, which went just dandy.

But now when I run my project, there's a peculiar game-ruining bug somewhere causing some of my surfaces not to draw to the screen.

After some testing, I've determined that any of the changes I …

Once again, this is gonna be a fairly brief and screenshot-less update on my F4D progress.

Basically, at this point in time, I have something that is at least submittable. I'll be using the remaining time to flesh out and polish things. Hopefully I'm able to bring the game to …

My F4D entry Névégis is on track for the deadline. And in actuality, I'm going home on the 28th so I'll probably submit my entry early.

As it currently stands, there are only a couple little things I need to do for Névégis to be something I'd consider a complete …

Pretty impressive, even if you think that …

So today was Taco Tuesday. Delicious. :D

Anyways…

For a number of reasons, I'm temporarily pausing the development of Pokemon Purple until early/mid January. This may affect my plans to have a playable demo by February. I'll try my best to get something out by at least late February, but …

So I'm gonna try my hand at making an evolution simulator.

…And no, it's not gonna be a Spore clone.

User input will be pretty basic. You'll pretty much just define the environments and set it in motion.

When FPS starts to drop to an unreasonable level, which it undoubtedly …

A small update on the minor progress I'm making with Pokemon Purple.

First, I've canned the HTML5 version for now. I''ll wait for GM:HTML5 to mature… it's still technically beta software right now, even though Yoyo has the nerve to charge $100 for it.

So last night, I decided to ditch my then-current Skyrim adventures and start a new over.

Turns out pickpocketing is one of the easiest skills to increase, especially if you save your …
