Life:

Life's pretty much the same as yesterday. Did another workout (shoulders and arms), and my arms are having trouble moving now.

C++:

Absolutely nothing since last blog.

Website:

Still coming along nicely. Re-did the tables so they look a bit nicer. Might need to tweak them just a teeny bit more. Oh, and for those of you who wanna know what it looks like, it's green on black BG, made to look like an old computer (or general techy look).

GM:

Gungus is going WAY too smoothly. It's coming together better and faster then any other game I've ever made. Not really that many bugs to work out (with what's done). Very happy with progress.

Need some Beta Testers:

..for Gungus. If you're interested in beta testing the game just let me know, either through comment, PM, or E-mail (that_dude_over_there@hotmail.com). If you don't know what Gungus is and want to before you decide to test, here's a quick overview.

Massive scale exploration game (though small right now) in which you travel between planets. Has a special 360 degree planet movement engine inspired by Super Mario Galaxy. Plarform game.

You can read a previous blog to get a better idea about what it's like. I have around 5 places open for beta testers (already have 2), so it'll be first come first serve.
