Another geography rant

Posted by Astryl on Aug. 15, 2012, 5:46 a.m.

Right, taking my cue from [furry], I would like to point out that South Africa isn't some horrible hole with no infrastructure, an infestation of mercenaries and a racism problem.

Nope.

Ok, maybe some racism still persists, but where doesn't it?

Be honest.

Anyway, read this:

I've been doing all kinds of stuff lately.

Mostly nothing.

I have also been working on my new game project. Working title is Credence Filter, and it's about a dude who's the chosen one. I like this concept because it brings to light the idea that most games ignore, that …

AXEPIG - Unexpected Landing Devlog #1

Posted by Zac1790 on Aug. 13, 2012, 12:45 p.m.

A plane crash-lands on an uncharted island far away in the ocean. Miraculously, almost everyone survives. Things start to break down when people realize there are only so many resources and few chances of leaving this forsaken place. But as the first drop of blood hits the earth, a chain …

Displays

This is the second time I've tried to replace an LCD/Digitizer on a touch screen device. It.. didn't go well. Just like the first time.

Well, my sister recently got a new phone and decided to give me the barely functioning phone she replaced. It had a few missing buttons …

I hate this thing… i really do. Out of all my years of collecting every console from Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft (as well as a few Atari and Mattel consoles) i have never had such a problem with a home console.

The original Xbox wasn't as bad but it …

GML as a language

Posted by ludamad on Aug. 12, 2012, 2:44 p.m.

Been into language design recently, and I was recently reflecting on how glad I am that I have gone on to use languages other than GML. It has really broadened my horizons as a programmer.

From the point of view of language design, I hope to give an objective summary …

It is a stupid test. A mini-game arcade.

SUPER LUIGI 3D:

tomorrow is ready!… maybe

Thanks for attention! good evening!!

IMPORTANT: Exile fix for ATI users

Posted by Astryl on Aug. 12, 2012, 10:45 a.m.

This should be the last one, and hopefully it will work.

I completely rewrote the billboard code to use the not-really-billboarding system I used in Lightbound, and it works well enough that it'll make the game playable (I hope).

Download Patch 1.3B

Note: Only for ATI users, unless the nVidia …
