Yeah, so I’ve been working a lot and have been writing several devlogs but haven’t had a chance to post them until now. In short, I’ve been so busy working that I tend to use every last minute of the night performing "just one more test." I’m taking this short… Continue reading →

This memory testing is quite the bug hunt. I’ve been testing between two computers and two browsers. I’ve been patting down every game object for illegal memory stashes. Offending code blocks are stripped and searched and sometimes even completely exterminated. Progress is being made little by little as I debug and optimize while innocent code is made to suffer inconvenient slow performing test operations.

I have been working on some cool stuff that will help me optimize file size and increase productivity in the long run. Specifically I’ve been working on character skinning. Continue reading →

So my friend signed up for the Windows7 party pack with free copy of Windows7. I guess you had to give a story about how you’d have some sort of Windows7 party and if they picked you they would give you a box of party supplies (balloons, streamers, party favors… Continue reading →
