Friggin Apple

Posted by Malaika on Aug. 13, 2006, 7:35 a.m.

My iPod broke the other day. It was only a shuffle, but its still annoying, especially because its my only means of transporting data to uni.

I pulled it out of the computer, and the USB plug didn't come with it. So it doesn't work. I called up the Apple …

64D themed games

Posted by Malaika on Aug. 10, 2006, 5:17 a.m.

I've been noticing a lot of 64Digit -themed games going around lately. Games where the members are the characters and suchforth.

Now, I'm just expressing my own opinions here, but I think they're kinda cool. While none of them have really been of an exceptionally good quality (with the very …

Yeah, this blog will probably be almost as random as the title…

I haven't done any work on Danse Machina since the last blog. I started writing a webcomic, which is going pretty well.

Actually that's a lie, I did work on DM. I fiddled with the enemy AI code …

Danse Machina Update

Well, good news everyone. I've pretty much finished reforming the code for DM, and I can tell you that the version 0.3 demo will be out very, very soon. I've already sent a preliminary version to a select few, minus the level.

The new demo will include a swathe of …

Malaika - 3D modeling

Posted by Malaika on July 29, 2006, 6:09 a.m.

I've been playing around with 3D Studio Max recently. Just making things, deleting them, making them again, deleting them again, etc…

Well, here are a couple of shots of a gal's torsothat I whipped up in about 45 mins. They're untextured, but I think its kinda neat. Its useless for …

Malaika - Canvas + reformat

Posted by Malaika on July 28, 2006, 4:59 a.m.

Well, I reformatted my computer. Don't worry, I THINK I backed up everything I needed - I certainly backed up DM. I've been installing all the important progs/drivers and stuff for about 2 hours now :( still going…

Anyway, my new program, Canvas: Mask Editor, will be up on the …

Danse Machina update 6 + side-program

Posted by Malaika on July 25, 2006, 6:05 p.m.

Well, in order to complete DM, I've decided to create a 'mask' program. This program will essentially be like the room creator in GM, but you only place black squares. Once you've created the room to your size specs, you can export it as a huge image, which is then …

Danse Machina update 5

Another smallish update on my progress with DM.

First though, I finally got a new avatar. Wow… I've had the other one for YEARS. I kinda like the new one though.

Anyway, the overhaul of DM is going well. For those that have slow computers, I'm sorry to inform you …

Danse Machina update 4

Posted by Malaika on July 23, 2006, 8:40 a.m.

Just a small update for Danse Machina. Good news and bad news.

The good news is I just finished sketching up the first part of the first level - the robotics base on Cabal IV. Its not quite as sizeable as I would have liked, but I suppose I could …

Malaika - BIRFDAY!

YARRAY! I'm 19 today :3 weeeeeeee!

That's actually about all I wanted to say. I didn't get a chance to do any work on Danse Machina yesterday cos one of my best friends who lives on the other side of the country came over for the night - that was …
