Top Edit: Falcon Squad Beta 3 is released, and I will be hosting today! Let's frag each other! http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=297664
Well, I haven’t been able to get as much done with Falcon Squad as I’d hoped this week, but it’s all good – I’ll have a new demo out this weekend. I’ll talk about that in a second though, because the reason for that is that I have gotten a new job!Yes, my career as a lowly page designer for a real estate magazine is over, and I am now a production artist for a beverage company! It’s really a very nice job, and I have had a lot of fun learning their system, and helping with product packaging designs and such. My supervisor and project manager are nice people, and everyone at the company seems very happy to be there – which makes it much easier for me to be there as well. The only flaw with this new job is that it’s considerably farther away (an hour away) than my last job (20 minutes away), but so far being a commuter hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. The pay is good though, so I’ll stick with it for as long as I can, and still keep plenty of time on the side for my girlfriend, and for my work.That said, I’ve been working today, and I should have a new demo out for Falcon Squad tomorrow. The new demo will include a lot of user-requested fixes / additions, as well as (hopefully) two new maps to play on, and a lot of fixes and optimizations. I’ll be running a server as much as I can tomorrow as well, so hopefully I’ll see some of you online!Lastly, I also wanted to say that Aces High Over Verlor Island has made it into round 3 of the <a href="http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=299049">cagematch</a> over at the GMC. If you liked AHOVI, show your support with a vote!Anyway, I’m off to get back to work on Falcon Squad, and also to play some Rainbow Six Vegas later on… just picked it up (on sale for only $39.99 at Target!), and it’s an awesome game. Thanks for reading, and for voting! [;)]Edit: Oh yeah, one more thing… aparently there is an impostor posing as me over at YYG… Note the neato URL, with replacement characters to make his name look the same but act as another user. I've deleted all his bogus reviews and comments, but if you want, send him a note or leave him a friendly comment on his profile. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. [;)]You can find his profile here (can't use an actual link, 64D converts it into MY profile!):<a rel="nofollow" href="http://yoyogames.com/members/Fr%D0%B5dFr%D0%B5drickson">http://yoyogames.com/members/Fr%D0%B5dFr%D0%B5drickson</a>
Ah Fred. I think getting your own impostor account is grounds for a promotion at the GMC. *hint*
heh, sounds like the future is saved then :P
Good luck and fun with ya new careerHehe, thanks! [:)]
Does your new job use MAC's?
We use both PC's and Mac's…
Huh?
Oh and thanks to everyone who wished me luck with my new job - I appreciate it! [:)]So does this mean you won't want to IM at when you're bored work? (JK) Sound like a great job!
Have fun at your new job. [:D]
The imposter account is probably deleted- the link just went to the Yoyo games homepage.
Anyway, FS is the best! Cant wait for those maps to be SP. I think you should go for HT3D style- SP campaign but also deathmatch, CTF, and maybe even TDM. It's not the most popular game ever, but a good sP opponent is as good as any multiplayer battle! (ok maybe not. AI is predictable. Learning AI would be awesome!)
