Weekend

Posted by TakaM on Oct. 6, 2007, 4:34 a.m.

Finally got a day off work and it's a four day weekend

For this weekend I've been meaning to reply to all the emails in my inbox, get around to writing an entry here and do some work on Twinsen.

Well, I'm writing the entry right now, and I did a fair bit of work on Twinsen today, have a look:

Yup, a new background forest/bush layer, looks much nicer than the old paper cut-out version.

Cocopuffs just went to bed, and he also did quite a bit of work, the best part is he finally got a headset.. well, he used the mic in a digital camera and taped it to his headboard or something, so we could still talk while I made the new forest, and he knocked out some bugs, etc.

There's still about 2 dozen things that need to be done for the demo, some are just small tweaks and bug fixes, but others are brand new stuff.

So yeah, I've been having a lot of fun working at the video store, I've got the hang of everything I've been taught so far, and everyone I work with is pretty cool.

Only thing that sucks is I've only just been able to wash the one shirt I was given.

What else.. South park has resumed season 11, and it was a pretty great episode.

In case you haven't seen it, Cartman meets a kid with tourettes and wishes he had the disorder and proceeds to fake it.

He eventually gets scheduled for national TV and actually develops tourettes where he blurts out embarrassing secrets of himself.

Very funny episode, lots of good quotes, check it out if you're a fan.

Darren, my manager, has been recommending Are We Done Yet? to customers, and they all seem to say they enjoyed the first movie more, so I downloaded Are We There Yet?

And… meh, pretty cheesy movie, I don't think I could watch it again, and everyone seems to say that it's better than the sequel, so I'll stay away from it.

That's about all, I'll probably write another entry or two over these next four days, but I doubt I'll write one after a work day since I pretty much go straight to bed.

Now I'll get to those emails.

BYAAH!

Very impressed with the game so far, every time you post a screen shot the Game just seems to get better. This is one game i can't wait for the demo to come out for.

The perspective looks a bit weird. D: The stuff on the side looks flat. Somehow. But still <3 the graphics. Perhaps put the forest layer a little lower?

The Underside is such a rip off of cavestory. Graphically too similar.

Demo… demo… (pronounced like "brains…")

It just looks so much like an official SNES game now. And I love the classic SNES games. Demo NAOW.

Nobody:

The perspective is weird

Kinda cylindrical like the perspective in animal crossing DS

and on putting the forest a little lower, I haven't quite made my mind up about that yet.. I like how when you're low you see very little of the mountains, but when you're up high you see mostly mountains with a little bit of forest.

ghg:

Yeah, it is a bit of a rip off when it comes to graphics and gameplay, but I'm not really hung up on it.

Cavestory is a winning formula and he's doing a really solid job with the underside, so I think it's alright.

And thanks guys, the demo's coming someday
