I had been really good about keeping this journal up to date over the summer. Right now I'm so busy trying to finish up Epoch Star. I don't seem to have any time to blog any more. Apparently I passed 6000 downloads on GDS last night, so I thougt it was about time for another entry. I've been tr…

Epoch Star was selected as a finalist in the Guerilla Gamemaker Competition. I'm pretty exceited to go to Park City for the event. Has anyone been to the Slamdance festival? Anyone planning on going? Does anyone have any idea how large the festival is? I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm very…

I've been asked to do a trailer for my game, including some of the gameplay... I have no idea how to do this. I'm not sure how to record gameplay to an avi. Any suggestions would be helpful... I'm supposed to have it done by Friday. Anyone have any suggestions? I could use a little help.

While testing Epoch Star I'm fighting my way through what seems to be an endless supply of little annoying bugs.
My mouse over display just stopped working on my Jump Gates. It's a little hard to tell from this screen shot, because it didn't pick up my mouse cursor for some reason:
Also, when the pl…

I haven't been posting much recently because I've been working though bugs trying to finish up Epoch Star. A lot of the missions past Act 1 needed a lot of work, and I keep running into bugs and enhancements I want to work on. Also I need to spend some more time reworking the Mission screen. I'm…

Also, Asteroid ES looks like it will probably pass 1000 some time today.
Hurray for hogging GameDev Bandwidth [grin]

I started an Image Archive for October screen shots. I haven't made many changes to the engine since september, but I'm taking some decent screen shots as I'm testing the game.
Here's a couple newer screen shots:

Someone is complaining that when they upgraded to the newest version of Epoch Star they are getting some funky bright white light effect:
Apparently this wasn't a problem for them in earlier releases. I'm not sure exactly what I changed that would cause this effect.
I may have to inquire on some for…

It's been a while, but I've finally got a new version of Epoch Star out on GDS. There's still a couple empty systems, and many improvements to still make, but it's fairly solid.
Here's some screen shots:

I put together my first Dark Basic game over the weekend.
It's called Alien Invaders Attack.

Passed 3200 downloads for Epoch Star at some point today. I've not been working on it recently. I think I'll start up work again this weekend. The past few I've been playing around with Dark Basic making a space invaders game. It's a fun little language, but I've gotta get back to trying to fin…

I must have pass 3K downloads on GDS over the weekend. I've had family in town, so I haven't had much of a chance to work on my games recently. Hopefully I'll be able to get something done this week.

Does anyone know how long it normally takes google to index new pages on a site? I've had a slew of new pages on one of my sites for a week now, and google hasn't touched them.

For grins I decided to turn my domain www.gamemug.com into a freeware / shareware game download site. I wanted to help out my page rank... and there was nothing on the site so I figured it couldn't hurt. I'm curious to see how many of the pages Google will index.

My brother has been adding more and more missions to Epoch Star. I just got my $20 copy of Dark Basic in the mail. I'm a little disappointed with it. It seems much more limited than I had hoped, but it was fairly inexpensive so I thought I'd give it a try. I may try to throw together a little g…

I found a few listings of Search Engine Friendly directories. I've spent a bit of time the past few days adding to them. Most of them have PR0, but I figure every little bit helps.
