Progress on my "resolutions"

Posted by KaBob799 on Jan. 18, 2013, 3:45 p.m.

Well my resolution this year was essentially to make a ton of progress on/complete a lot of my major projects. So let's see how I've done so far:

CheeseMod:

I've made relatively minor progress on CheeseMod this year, a lot of planning but not a lot of programming. I did release CheeseMod 1.4.7_b1 which contains various bugfixes and a few minor features but the big plans are still on schedule for 1.5. Also I'll have a guide up for the giveaway command tonight hopefully. Anyway, as usual the download is available on the CheeseMod site

Websites: Feel free to skip this section =p

I decided to do these mostly one at a time starting with OrbScape, which is my RuneScape guide site. I started with OrbScape because it's the simplest to finish, all I have to do is spend a week or two gathering info in game and then finish translating it to German and it should be done until the Spanish translation comes out later this year (my big plan is to be one of the first sites with proper Spanish info, hopefully that will bring in a ton of hits =p)

After that, I'm thinking I'll work on Game Plague next and then PycoForums after that. As for the CheeseMod site, I'll just work on it in my free time. My goal is to get all these websites earning profit before summer, which depending on how you look at it is either relatively easy or fairly hard.

Excluding the expensive server costs, domain names themselves cost me less than 4 cents a day. So while overall I need to get a lot of money to pay the hosting costs, each individual domain only has to earn 4 cents a day to pay for itself. OrbScape is the only one I really expect to stay even near 4 cents though and once finished it will take minimal effort to maintain so it doesn't really matter.

There's also the high chance that I'll upgrade my server once I get some money, so hopefully I can get my profits up before that needs to happen.

Pokemon Twilight:

For new years, Bouncy Ball (PTs spriter for everything except the pokemon themselves) released a few screenshots of the new graphics he has been working on for v5.5 You can view them on his deviantart

Other Stuff

I ended up spending my Christmas gift card and some of my Christmas money on a Panasonic 3DO (a console that came out between the SNES and PS1) that came with 3 controllers and a bunch of games (no cases, but it came with a lot of manuals and a nice disc holder). These game systems always seem to pop up in stores at the most random times.

Nice sprites.

If you want cheaper hosting, 64D can host you. =)

Those new Pokemon Twilight screenshots look very nice. I am quite impressed.
