Well Knights Castle is done, I’m happy with the final result. Some people like it and appreciate it, but most just say “IT NEEDZ MORE FEATUREZ, MORE MORE” I don’t blame them to be honest, I know defence games are all about fiddling with every attribute they can find to come up with a unique defence system, I was mistaken when I thought my tech tree would suffice. It’s hard when I’ve scripted twice as much as usual for a game and it’s only half the requirement for a defence game, as people just demand more on top of it.

I don’t think defence games are my thing to be honest, but who knows, I may get the urge to come back and do a sequel since a lot of its coded, Icould then work on mass features being added. We’ll wait and see I guess.

Oh and I also made a Deviant Art for my comics > Eggy’s DeviantArt

I quit my job at Coles. I’m a free man! horay. YES *Jumps in the air* *Does a backflip* Ok so I didn’t do the backflip because I can’t, and if I did I’d probably die….but you get the point. I went into work like usual, was working for an hour and realised I hated being there so much, and there wasn’t much point for me being here anymore. So I went up to the desk and said I’m quitting and left at the end of the shift

Sorry but no more work stories now We’ll all miss them.

Now I’ll be focusing on my games more for income and rummaging through peoples garbage. Both have there equal shares of satisfaction.

Oh and I also moved outta home with a friend and his gf. Pretty cool so far.

My new game The Unfair Platformer now out, It took about a month, and I gotta say it’s the most fun I’ve had designing levels. Just too see the sheer anger from people playing them.

Well here we are almost at the end of the year 2007. I thought I’d write up a long post on pretty much everything of the year and things to come. It’s been a pretty good year I’d say, a few things have happened here and there since it’s the year I’ve turned 18. Getting my license, finishing Tafe, going out a lot more. Just the usual teen stuff. Been a pretty good year for flash too. I’ve gotten 2 front pages and a daily first on newgrounds. Thats one more than last year, so I guess I’ve gotten better, yet Nodes still wasn’t good enough to compete with Draw-Play. Didn’t make it over a 4+ I managed to finish 8 Flash’s, within 12 months, hopefully next year I can start to pick up my game and release one a month.

Now that I’ve finished tafe hopefully I can get more games done because I won’t be busy at all, and I also don’t have a gf to take any time either…..yet anyway, I’m bad with showing emotion, I think I need them to make first moves :S I don’t know…I don’t really have any experience lol… and I’m just generally shy with girls…end up as just a nice guy…a friend….sigh.

My plans for next year are to get out some more great games. I try and make something different every time, I try change things up, it makes it more fun, though I’ll release a sequel here and there if demanded of popular games. I’m trying to get into multiplayer servers since even simple multiplayer games do so well, but it’s tricky and I still got a lot to learn in that department.

I’m so frickin’ fed up of seeing games that are exact copy’s of others with just some shiny new slabbed on graphics, it really pisses me off. They’re just hopping on the chain to make money, it’s pathetic really. The one’s that really annoyed me were the Tower Defence ones. Desktop Tower Defence, and a couple of others were the first to arrive on the scene then in the next month everyone made clones. DTD was good, the clones - Pathetic.

Whats the point of copying things? The scores still stay high it’s frustrating. The problem is, flash games are played by people really quickly so they don’t know the history behind them ect, they don’t know it’s been copied, so they vote high. It’s basically a problem that’s hard to fix. Every few years you can release the same idea with new graphics and no one really notices.

Also I started up The Eggcomic this year, which has had some medium success for the amount I’ve done. I’ll have to wait and see when I have a lot more done, I’ve been slacking lately in that department and must start to do some more. I usually think of heaps of jokes but they just aren’t suited to comics which is annoying.

The main thing I’m going to be playing around with also this year is ads on my site, if I can find the best ad sites and get it nicely set up I can make a decent income, then I wouldn’t have to get a proper job yay….and could finally quit coles (THE HELLHOLE!) The old version of my site cremationproductions.com used to have google ads which when I released Draw-Play was bringing in like $50 a day in ads, but google ads clsed my account saying I had fraud clicks which is bullshit, and I didn’t even get the money I made from it. So my trust for ad sites is pretty low.

This blog seems to get 500 views a day and has had a total of 100,000 views, not bad, I wonder how many of them peopel actually read anything. I’m happy with that. Basically I see this blog as more of an open diary, where I can write it up and look back on it in a few years to read my stuff, so that should be interesting. Also it’s to entertain people, and people that are just nosy into my life I love when people leave comments too, so don’t be shy, just to let me know your reading.

Well thats about it I think for now, I know it’s early but I felt like writing this up now -

Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

Lots of love from your FAVOURITE GAME MAKER RIGHT? AM I RIGHT? yeah I so am.

Now with level editor for people to make some of there own levels and send the code to friends. I was gonna make the level editor have everything, but being able to make it so you could connect the line to any Nodes just wasn’t plausible… It would be way too complicated. So hopefully you’s are fine with what i gave

So lately I’ve been more of a….well….not nice worker to my customers when they annoy me. I used to roll over, smile and say sorry. Now I’m getting in more trouble because I’m standing up to them, I might even get fired at this rate :O we’ll see I guess.

I’m packing the lady’s shopping, and I drop the next piece of shopping in (Tomatoes) about half the length of your hand. Not very much of a drop, very very tiny.

Lady : DO BE MORE CAREFUL PUTTING MY SHOPPING IN, STOP THROWING MY THINGS INTO THE BAG.
Me : Ok.

I grab the next thing and put it into the bag VERY slowly, you can tell I’m being sarcastic about it.

Lady : Do you want me to call your superviser?
Me : Honestly, not really.

I finish her shopping, she goes straight to manager, makes a complaint, i get another warning, and life goes on.

Your games suck balls. They have so many fucking glitches they are nearly unplayable. Quit making flash games and do something more constructive with your time, because you suck and you have no talent.

ps. nobody gives a shit about your life, you don’t need a blog

I actually haven’t had any new hate mail for a while, finally I get a new one and it’s quite funny

Now excuse me while I go cry from this guys horrific insults.

A night made up of ridiculous events…

- Got asked for ID about 10 times in the night
- Seeing my old high school teacher completely drunk, he buys everyone a shot
- Me telling someone I hate them more than anyone else in the world…
- Another different drunk teacher buying me a shot
- Walking home while completely drunk…..which is a 1-2 hour walk
- Falling into a drain…pants now smell very bad….
- Getting home, putting chicken tenders in the oven…but then fell asleep
- Wake up with the house smelling like smoke and chicken, in the oven is black charcoal…..luckily the house didn’t burn down

So basically I haven’t been getting any new comics or games done because I’m hooked on Halo 3!!! it is awesome. The other halo’s were my all time favourite game so of course I’m hooked to this, and mainly live. Surprisingly with only a 256k connection it runs fine online. So I’ll be kicking ass on there for a while gettting up my ranking. My gamer tag is > Eggy55555
