Man do I love Fridays. Saturdays are fun, and Thursdays are kinda sweet, but Friday… there is no other day of the week that offers as much promise and excitement. Friday tells you not to look back at the work you did that week, and promises that you've got two days of vacation ahead. I love it. Anyway, enough of that. the less said about my continuing lust for Friday, the better.

I've worked a bit on Aces High over the last couple of days, and I think I might just have the game ready for one more demo this weekend. I am particularly excited about this because <a href="http://www.reflectgames.com">Reflect</a> functionality has been added, works great, and I am excited to see how people like it. I originally wanted to hold back on this release until the final, but I think bug testing the multiplayer (and the added Reflect functionality) on a large scale via one more demo might be a better idea. I've added some more special effects, some fixes, host commands, power-ups, and a few other things since the lest demo, and I have decided to cut out the bomb-able targets for now, possibly to be added in later on. I'll keep you guys updated on this, and will post a link in my blog when I have released the next demo on the GMC (since timed releases on 64D are virtually impossible to accomplish).

Now that I think about it, looking at everything else I have to do this weekend kinda makes me wonder why I am considering it a two day vacation from work. I'll be putting some demo touches into Aces High and hopefully releasing a new demo, working on some concepts for a logo, finishing one of the three paintings I have to do, and converting some articles over to HTML for a website I'm working on. I think I'll be able to knock a lot of this stuff out early Saturday though, so it probably won't seem like too much to do once I get down to it. I'd also like to spend some time with my girlfriend, who has been gone all week on yet another business trip, but we'll see.

Of course, I'll be playing games too, when I can… a friend and I just finished Act 1 of Gears of War on Insane difficulty, and we're anxious to continue plowing through the Locust this weekend. Good stuff!

Anyway, I am at work, so I'd best be going. Hope everyone has a good weekend, and thanks for reading!
