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 ^^

Welcome to the site. Yup, we're a blog community.

My suggestion (if you didn't do that yet): get rid of the default healthbar. It doesn't go along with the style of the rest of the game (well… not if there's lightning and shading and particles).

HTML is not a programming language. It's a markup language. It's what the letters ML stand for.

last but not least, a piece of fail is visible to hi-res monitor owners:

See? This proves that widescreen sucks.

You mean high resolutions. The ratio doesn't matter, the amount of pixels does. =P

Say what you want, but the source code looks better (or, cleaner) than the source code of 64D. Also, the website doesn't look that bad. If you think it does, you probably don't visit many websites.

I visit many websites. It's the exact reason why I think his website looks bad.
