First impressions of Dark Souls

Posted by Astryl on Jan. 28, 2014, 4:45 p.m.

So, Ferret kindly gave my Dark Souls a couple of nights ago (Thanks Ferret :3), and it finished downloading this morning. Playing it offline, since I want to get used to the game on my own without a bunch of phantoms scaring the living crap outta me :P

Maybe on …

Improved bbcode

Posted by aeron on Jan. 25, 2014, 10:09 p.m.

JoshDreamland was nice enough to write us a brand new bbcode parser to replace our old (and very messy) parser. Generally you won't notice much difference as the changes are mostly behind the scenes, but the real benefit is for the developers. It is now incredibly easy to add new …

Exile.plan

Posted by Astryl on Jan. 25, 2014, 7:26 a.m.

I was poking around today, and noticed my old exile.plan file. The .plan file is an old programmer tradition, used for organizational purposes, as a handy changelog and a convenient way to find out what the heck you did the night before. If you remember to update them.

Anyway, the …

Oh what the heck, let's Reign & Rule!

So a while ago I was making that sprite sheet Idea thing. Now I said (I think) that I was going to finish that game. And I'm going to finish it. But not now. Yeah, so this is the first time I've decided I'm going to put a project on …

The Madder They Get...

Posted by Tasm on Jan. 23, 2014, 5:44 p.m.

So I started my first software-oriented classes this semester. I guess I should have known better than to expect at least half of my class to understand the basics of using a computer, being in the south and all. But seriously, this is a course required for folks majoring in …

Some Paints.

So last semester I had my first painting class, and I haven't shared the products of that with anyone yet. I thought oil painting was going to be a lot more involved than it actually is; I hadn't painted with oils before this class, only watercolor, and I …

News and Opinion

Yesterday, I started using Rescuetime on RC's recommendation.

My productivity instantly increased, since it felt like I had a smug bastard standing behind my back watching my every move. So I was productive 75% of the time between 11AM and 6PM yesterday. Much code was written.

I was specifically beginning …

EDIT: Some dickface flagged my blog for content, so here goes my attempt to dry his tears:

Yeah, it's been like two years or something since I last posted. My contract ran dry and I moved to South Carolina since I have some family down here and I …

Tempust (Kilin's F4D Devlog)

Posted by Castypher on Jan. 20, 2014, 3:58 p.m.

My goal with every competition is to try something new.

A secondary but equally important goal is to try and get the same high I got back in RPG4D.

I've learned that's no longer possible.

I haven't decided what it is yet, but I've entered every competition since RPG4D in …

Master Cleanse, Pokemon Y, Roommate Covers

The GF suggested that I do a cleanse with her, a thing called "Master Cleanse" which says you can't eat for 10 days, and you survive by drinking a mixture of maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of cayanne pepper, and water, all day. In the morning, …
