well... not really... I'm actually gonna draw a background for a game for a friend of mine. That game will be posted on Pico day though.

I should start by actually playing Pico, cuz I've never actually played the original game before.

UPDATE: Okay apparently the friend changed his mind. I think he still wants me to draw something but now I don't know what to draw.

UPDATE 2: I got an answer, now I know what to draw! stay tuned ;)

Technically, it's a loop.

Anyways, I've made an extended version of "The Simple Triangle" because I thought it was too short.

Also, making the game has been a big learning experience for me. Fixing the bugs in my code has taught me some pretty important stuff. The language is more quirky than I thought. Things have been going okay though.

Oh, and here's my extended loop: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/544841

I have decided that my next project will be a game!

It will be a simple platforming game, and it will have three different characters with different platforming abilities and three different short storylines.

That's about it, not much else to say...

By the way, if you haven't checked out my song yet, here it is: The Simple Triangle

Surprise! I have made my first submission to the art portal!

I hope you enjoy it!

UPDATE: OOPS, i mean audio portal. man, did i mix up my words

Although the reviews on my submission were more negative than my earlier ones, the vote score is within my standards.

Maybe i shouldn't put in neon-color hallucinations about ones and zeroes. That was waaayyyyy off-topic from the cursor-chasing-button theme.

by the way, if you want to know my inspiration about the whole cursor-chasing-button thing, it's those "do not press the button" games where the button complains about you clicking it

here's one of my favorites:

Anyways, I'm glad the anniversary project is over with. Maybe I should stop making chase scenes with tweening in them or maybe make my objects more three dimensional. I'm pretty sure my next project wont be a chase scene next time.

No, it's worse than that. I'm pissed

the recent update killed my saved flash game data AGAIN. I'm very tired of this happening.

The current version of chrome is 21

firefox is almost 4 YEARS OLDER and its current version is 14. Clearly chrome is addicted to updates.

I'll likely have a better shot at completing Arkandian Crusade if i switch to that browser.

but anyways, i was wondering if anyone could comment on which browser is better?

UPDATE: Strange thing, after i switched to firefox, i got my game data back. Maybe the chrome flash update was just glitchy?

due to bad planning and complications, the animation may be delayed another few months.

It may be One year and five months, probably six, bad case scenario: seven, worst: it becomes cancelled

I'm not giving up yet; I still have ideas for a bunch of other projects, i'm even considering doing a musical piece.

Due to this fever I had I dont think I will be able to finish the animation on time. The chances of that happening are now very slim. It could turn into "One year and Five months".

Anyways, after this animation, I'll be working on a visual novel.

Q: what's a visual novel?

A visual novel is an interactive fiction where you click to move the story along (you know, text boxes and stuff). Visual novels can have gameplay where you reach points in the story where you have to click on a decision to affect your ending. Dating sims are not necessarily visual novels. The quality of visual novels mainly rely on their story.

Q: why are you making one?

there's a relatively short amount of Visual novels here on NG (Dating sims don't count in this case). Of course, I may be wrong, cause the search terms i typed in were "visual novel" and "choose your adventure" (the latter got more results than choose your OWN adventure for some reason). I was hoping to play a good one I haven't played before, but the only game that fits the description is the new "Cafe Rouge" (not bad, by the way), and it's being released in episodes. I thought I should make a contribution to that genre on NG

I've decided that I want to do more than tape the first two episodes of "cursor chasing button" together with some bonus features, so I'm doing a 4/3 year anniversary instead of a 5/4 year anniversary

This isn't working, I've switched the audio in my animation from mp3 to wav but that wont solve the problem where the music sounds muffled at the beginning of the animation

I use flash CS3

my audio publish settings:
Compression:MP3
bit rate:160 kbps
Quality: Best

I can't increase the bit rate, should I change the compression or something else?
