Miniscule Update, 18 Apr 2013

Not even a break, that's how small this one is. Only a few things to mention.

First off, my latest task is redoing the Trixieling sprites. The 3/4 views looked really bad. Actually, I'd hope you aren't seeing too many Trixielings anyway. They can really sap your health. Also, I noticed that their shots can hurt other changelings. Slime attacks don't affect other changelings, but Trixielings' attacks do. So remember that in E1M7.

And sprint. Do a lot of sprinting.

The second thing is, I could use some help finding music. I really liked the music I chose for the first few levels, but I could really use some more ideas for the other levels (I'm going to have at least 27 levels, after all). Finding new music is great. For example, I had originally decided to write my own parody to "Livin' La Vida Loca" for the Changeling Pie level (you met her in the ending room of Open Beta 1, E2M2), but then I found this song and I think I'm going to try and use it instead. And make the level darker, with more flickering lights.

That's another thing. If you want to help with maps, even if it's just a pencil sketch, I'd take it. That's really what's been holding me back.

Also spriting. But I digress.

Semester ends next week so expect good updates within the month.

F'naaaaaaa

Nothing like life to give you a nice, swift kick in the teeth. Semester ending happened much sooner than expected, so I had a bunch of projects for school that I needed to finish because I'm lazy and put them all off. Kindof like what I'm doing with raridoom...
Anyway! Ramblings after the break. Not much going on here, check out the "help out" page if you want. As soon as I get around to making it, that is.

Micro-update 25 Mar 2013

Not much happening here. Really. It's barely worth the page break. But if you like an intro picture and you feel like helping me design a monster, you should click anyway.

Micro-update 20 Mar 2013

Just what it says on the tin. There's some words, some plans, and also some quick concept art that's more than likely going to change. So honestly, there's not much here. But still. It's been over a week without posting, and I gotta have SOME posting standards around here.
(and it's totally not because I bombed my chem test today and I want to feel mildly successful today)

Taking a break

Hey, guys... Just what it says on the title.
More info after the break, plus a couple of screenshots because I feel bad.

Living up to the tagline "frustrations"...

This weekend, my computer said to me, "Hey, bt, that's a nice update video you're working on there. New enemy, new weapon, plus you're showing off the updated cheese grater? Looking good! And you're doing a voiceover demo! People might actually think you're competent now, good for you! You know, it would be a real shame if something bad were to happen, like, say, your microphone driver crashing and making that video be full of meaningless, distracting static. Yeah. That'd be a real shame."

Guess what happened.

Mm-hmm.

Update video soon. Pinkie promise.
