Fear and Self Loathing in Tumblr
I hate myself.
I hate myself.
I hate myself.
Now that that’s out of the way, I think I can take you hating me too.
At the rate things are going, 4kg should be about 80% done by the time December is over. I absolutely hate myself for not making good on my promises. I also dislike how I think you all care enough about the game to hate me for delaying it. Unwarranted self importance in the...

4kg Dev - Night 9
Whoah, how long has it been since one of these? Almost three whole months! Hard to believe I’m that unreliable. Well, not really.
Anyways I took a couple jabs at the game tonight on a couple different fronts. I started out by spending an hour or two trying to add support for 4kg’s custom object types. In the demo I’m basing my game on, there are really only two: the player and...

First thing I want to address is cross-browser compatibility. When I started developing websites (my byline is...
Excite!
Even though I moved 4kg to its fourth official platform merely a couple days ago, here are the list of things that are done so far:
Keyboard input
Collision detection
Menus
Music
Content loading and rendering
Basic platformer physics
This is mostly because I’m piggybacking on a very capable engine and demo game. I feel really crappy not doing it from scratch, but I promised to finish...

I've come to a decision
From now on, whenever I announce I’m making a game, I’m going to keep the platform a secret until the day before I release it. To put it bluntly, I can’t keep still and thrust myself at a different technology depending on the month. I’m a techno-ho.
Yeah, 4kg has probably changed platforms again, and if you know me at all you can probably guess what it is. Of course,...

Resurgence
Development has officially restarted and I hope to share some more selected art assets very shortly. Game Maker 8 is the name of the game now. Even though I wanted to prove my game programming skills, finishing the game takes priority over everything. Full steam ahead!
