Okay cool, did a bit more work on Twinsen today, Cocopuffs included a cool little option to record the gameplay, with the press of a button it starts taking a screenshot of every single frame, then just open those frames up in imageready, and save them as a .gif

K, first I'll address some of the comments made on my last entry, about the red combo text.

Like I said yesterday, it does look better in motion, the numbers sorta 'explode' and they are only red while you're performing a combo, as soon as you land, or stop attacking, …

Today, Cocopuffs and I continued working on Twinsen, probably the best streak we've ever done, he's just about fully implemented a new combo counting system into the game, with some really cool effects.

And man, having it count how many enemies you hit in one jump, or one string of …

Got Cocopuffs to put in the parallax layers today and to tweak a few things.

Tried like 5 different versions of certain layers only moving horizontally, different rates, offsets etc, I think we'll just go with like the first simple version he made.

Level 1 got a bit easier, I …

Skins

Well, last night I went to sleep at around 7:30pm, man was I tired, I then slept till 4:30am.

Obviously it takes me a couple days before switching my sleeping schedule forward 12 hours feels natural.

"Skins"?, yeah, I was lying in bed at 5am, and I decided I'd play …

When we got home, I …

My sister in-law Pina's sister 'Ester' (my sister in-law too?) is going to stay here for a week or so, since this will be her only opportunity to see Pina for the next couple of years.

We're running out of room here, when they all used to live here they …

Slept most of the day.

I was up late emailing about some possible work, if all goes well, I'll be selling some RPG tiles I've been working on in my spare time for quite a while, here's a mockup of em:

Yeah, it's link, I obviously can't sell that spritesheet. …

You may have noticed I didn't post an entry yesterday, well if you noticed that, you've probably been keeping track of my blog and knew it was my birthday, yup, as the title suggests, I'm 19.

And as with most birthdays, I don't feel any different.

I got some nice …
