Still waiting to re-validate my GM:S license.

I was re-directed to the help desk. ugh. I've tried everything already. Guess I'll just work on sprites.

Also, what is the best lighting engine compatible with GM:S? (something for GM8 should be fine, even a .gmk should work) I need one that's …

I'm hacking together voice recordings (heheh) for my video game, the one that exists, and …

Some new ideas

Posted by Astryl on March 2, 2013, 8 a.m.

Yesterday, a competition began on GameJolt. And as you know, I'm a sucker for competitions.

Anyway, during my competition related brainstorming, …

After the shipping costs, even after some donations from some friendly folk, I have $20 left over from the pool of money to give Juju and FSX for the international shirt shipping. I'm going to cover the cost with my own money for now, but it would be REALLY nice …

-DSG- YoYo Games has failed me.

Can't work on Depths.

Upon opening Game Maker Studio v1.1.805, the program told me my license was unable to be validated. It provided a link to a web address to re-validate manually but that just lead to a page of nonsense endless text. I closed and opened it again, and …

Posted by Taizen Chisou on Feb. 28, 2013, 5:49 p.m.

I just got back from an interview with an alumni from Harvard :o

So, consider this, before anything else:

- I don't remember even requesting …
