my introduction

Posted by death on Sept. 2, 2010, 9:51 p.m.

at first i wasn't going to do this whole blog thing until i noticed everybody is doing it (yeah following the crowd, what ever…) so with 66 hits on my page i mine as well say something.

where to start?

i guess i could explain my history with Game Maker… not much. i started with GM6 before YYG was up, didn't really get into the GMC at the time, not until 2009 oddly enough. When YYG was up i thought it was a great idea, i became a member the minute the site went up (i'm very active there even now)

this means i have about 4 years or so of GM experience. though there were many times i wouldn't use it for months. i'm 100% involve with GM as of 2009, on it daily/weekly working on so many projects.

i have a website i written in HTML mostly, here at:

http://DZgames.99k.org/

you can take a look at all the blog updates there and all the games i have up. around 10 or so by now, i'm not counting.

and now to present a little something that i'm working on currently. it's an online battle game in Under60seconds style. here's a screenshot showing it's beautiful lighting and particle system ^^

Just out of curiosity, what other languages did you use to write your website?

Welcome :). Nice lookin screen; would I be too forward to assume the main character is/will remain a square?

Square-based platformers make me cringe.

EV: It doesn't look like he used CSS, so I'm curious too.

e: language.

lol i'm still working on updating the site, i've been practicing Java but between GM and Flash9 i haven't had the time to get around to it, i'll be adding a comment system into it. (i hate using other people's work so i'm not just going to copy and paste from some site)

yeah the character will probably be just a square (i know boring… but this is my ONLY square platformer and will be the only one by me ever)

That website frightens me.

lol why is that? i chose a dark color setting because… well it's what i like, plus i wanted a more classic real than a modern one. also realize that i'm not planning for the site to be popular or anything special, thus the graphics are primitive. it's just a little place to hold my stuff ^^

Intelligent life still exists at Yoyo? Amazing. Nice to meet you.

Now for my comment on the screenshot, make the background darker.

Well your site has content, so that's worth something.

Welcome to 64Digits! :D
