Resumed

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just forgot for the first few days, used to 64D going down after each entry, and then I just kept putting it off.

So, what's new with Twinsen?

Well, Cocopuffs has been saying he wasn't really motivated to work on the remaining tweaks and changes since he knew he'd end up redoing that code shortly after, so he's redoing all the code he wants to now.

Don't worry, I don't think he's redoing everything, just Twinsen's movement so it feels more like a traditional platformer.

Made this for an avatar yesterday.

I think we've really gotten to the point where almost nothing from the first demo is exactly the same, there's still small things like sound effects that remain the same, but even the way Twinsen drowns has slightly changed.

Cocopuffs is currently implementing slopes, they really open up level design and change the feel of some levels quite nicely, just need to work out a few bugs with them.

We also had a discussion we've been meaning to have for a while where we planned out the game a little better, and we decided on some new changes that I'm really excited about.

We've still got a lot to discuss, but I think we're already sufficiently ahead of ourselves for now.

Today I finally got around to dropping off my curriculum vitae at all the local video stores, the more I think about it, the more I actually want to work there, so hopefully I get a call from one of them, but if not, I can just stack shelves at the supermarket or work at Mcdonalds.

I took Jazz to the park yesterday and played fetch for a good hour, I was hitting the ball with a stick pretty far and she was running after it as fast as she could, man she really got tired.

She actually started stumbling while running, dragging her legs she was so tired, eventually she just started sliding to the ball within the last few meters like a home run.

And on the way home, it was like she was drunk, she couldn't walk in a straight line, she kept dragging her feet etc, and when we got home she drank a lot of water but kept panting for like an hour.

What else..

It's my mother's birthday tomorrow, I was gonna buy her something today when I was at the mall, but I didn't really find anything, so I'll see if I can go back down there later today.

Tomorrow night, she wants us all to go to a restaurant at the pier, but she's leaving it up to my dad to organize, so I don't know if we'll actually end up going…

I haven't heard back from the doctor regarding my blood test etc, so I guess I'm still waiting.

And nah, I'm not gonna mention that britney spears freak, but the resulting video responses are pretty damn funny.. so check them out on youtube if you haven't already (you must have by now)

BYAAH!
