Hello there!

Posted by Juergen on Nov. 29, 2006, 12:05 p.m.

It's been a while since I've joined this forum… so tata… this is my first blog entry… Better late than never. :)

I'm from Germany/Bavaria, 32 years old and interested in playing music, singing, making games, and sometimes playing games.

My first try in making a game goes way back… I think I was around twelve years old, and I've started with some kind of "Basic" on a "Sinclair Spectrum". Later I've had some experience with the "C64".

But my first really working game was a "TRON"-clone on the "Atari ST 512". 2 Players stearing a single pixel (making lines) with two joysticks, and all written in assembler. That was fun, but hard to make. I think the code in it's total was about 10.000 lines… for such a tiny little programm. (How I love game-maker, now)

I've written a Tetris game (on a 386-PC) with TurboPascal 5.0 when I was about 20 years old.

But then I've lost interest in making games. The last 10 years I was more into music than anything else.

But as my old band (The Tasters) had broken up I was at a kind of creative lowpoint. And I always need to create something, or I don't feel happy… May sound strange, but so I feel.

2 years ago, I found the GameMaker 6.0 on the internet. And I emediately fell in love with that programm…

Breakris-online is now my first, nearly finished game with game-maker. So I hope you like it…

Thanks for 64digits for this great service this site provides. You are the best… ! :)

Greeting Jürgen

BTW: In a few weeks my new band "membrane" is releasing it's first album, so if your interested in good rock music, you may take a listen…

Hey, I'm glad you're blogging. Your Tetris game was pretty sweet.

I think Breakatris is boring.

Wow, thanks everybody for this nice welcome… :D

@Nathan: Our music is all, let say, handmade. For recording, we always play a basic track (Drums, Bass, Guitar at once) to keep the original spirit of the band… :) Then we make some overdubs…

Games:

At the moment I'm making a "Breakris 3D online" with Game-Maker and Xceptions awesome 3D engine Xtreme3D.

And yes the Avatar is me… lol but 10 years ago. Now I'm looking a little older, :(
