The Drivel Taizen Produces

Oh, hey, this would be my first progress blog in a while.

Unnamed comic

Umbra, find a way to make this public on Google Docs. Everyone needs to see how bad I am at comicsmithing.

Lunacy Star 1

(More or less dropped atm because LS2 is much more intuitive to make things in)

Lunacy Star 2

Since the 0.4 release, I've added

-high score boards (with real saving and loading action)

-multiple player characters

-Stages 3-1 and 3-2, 3rd boss

-external music loading (so the initial load isn't balls horrible- the music is 23MB so far but the actual game is a little under three)

-new game over screen (the game doesn't up and reset)

-new HUD (your stock is a set of icons, your power is a meter)

-some extra effects pertaining to numbers that appear on the screen and the game over animation

-some altered bullet images

-a pause menu (Resume / Restart / Quit, much better than "any key to resume, ESC to quit")

Masagara, the third boss, is almost complete. 6 out of its 8 patterns have been implemented. Almost all of them involve multitudes of lasers.

Still looking for ship sprite donations.

I only have two tracks to MP3-ize for this version left. And after all that…

is this enough in regards to "new content," kilin

…Version 0.6 release with all of these additions perhaps sometime NEVER.

Nobody here enjoys these games anyway >_>

Chaos Weapon

I'll add things here once any of my changes become notable enough.

A word for the future select people I will bug for beta testing, do not fuck with Shadows.

Black and White

You can run and jump around in a room. I should consider updating this.

Book about homosexuals

Page 53.

With absolutely no shortage of things to add. I'm predicting the next dry spell to be somewhere around page 65 or so. Maybe then I'll let people read it because I'd need the motivation to continue most then.

and I think that's it

Is it of any relation to the Lionhead game of the same name?

Ahh, but are they characters?

Lovely. I'm at 62 and still kicking (going for 80,000 words–250-300 pages). I fucking love this story now. If you're stuck that early in though (comment on page 65), might I suggest changing the concept a bit? Even if it's not currently the case, remember that if you can't stay attached to your own story, none of your readers will.

Also, I am writing this time, in first person with a female protagonist. Does that make me homosexual?

@Rob

It's a tentative name for my monochromatic metroidvania.

@Kilin

I thought we've been over this :V

Lunacy Star features a mixture of people, spaceships, and weird things.

The three player shottypes are the Gear Axis and Solar Hydra, again, and Nategasa Kumanichi from LS1.

The book is half autobiographical and half fiction.

I can only really have things to add if things keep happening to me.

And things keep happening to me.

And I'll make more things happen for the sake of this book.

However, the next logical step would be to make the moves on this guy.

And that might take a while :#(

And female protagonists are fine as well.

It makes you a lesbian.

It's also the name for a god game series.

Ah, Black and White.

Memories of nonexistent conversations with my nonexistent white pals on how racist the game wasn't.

Taizen Chisou 12 years, 9 months ago

Hey, it exists. When I posted the old beta nobody played it, soooo :P

It'll exist more just whenever I feel like it.

@Rob

I'll come up with a better title eventually.
