Me and drag are working on a LCD pinball game for the pdrom's competition. I'm on grahpics. Platform is GP2X (also will see a PC release), coded with C++ and SDL IIRC.

It's not done yet 
I've also got a few other "secret" projects, which are only secret because they may never even be started, and chances are will never be finished/updated. Website updates->"game of the moment", various tutorials, maybe a comic. Oh, and actually finishing the damned thing.

Here's a story with a happy ending |
Have you ever had a game you remember playing as a kid, but could not remember anything but a single detail about the game? and the things you did know you had trouble explaining? If not then you'll have no idea what I'm talking about, but for the past 10+ years I've been trying to find a game I did not know the title of, and remembered nothing except an overhead multi-direction shooting section of it, they used to rent it down the street in a small store, and it was for the genesis. In the past I've even gone through the entire goodGEN collection, skipping certain games that I knew just couldn't be it, but never found it. I actually was thinking maybe I made the game up in my head or am just morphing different games together through memories and drug abuse, but I decided to give it another go today, except playing every game in there, even ones that I thought couldn't possibly be the game I was looking for. I played through the first stage of "Adventure of Batman and Robin" which made me realize even potentially shitty games could be insanely awesome. So I keep going down the list and hit Blaster Master 2. Now I hate blaster master, I can't stand the game. I've tried to play through it at least 10 times, and can never seem to get past the first few stages without giving up and saying fuck this. I decide to give it a shot anyways, I know I've skipped over it many times before so it was worth a shot, after all Super Mario Bros. 2 was radically different than the first. So was Zelda, why not Blaster Master? Except its really not all that different at all. It's actually kinda similar. Except it has a very nostalgic feeling, I play through the first few stages and the graphic style really sticks to me, so does the music. I die and let the game reset, because there was no overhead stage that I played, and I distinctly remember an overhead stage. I let the demos play through, first few stages go by... nothing. A fire-themed stage goes by, the first thing I notice is a sort of cut-off tile, I start insulting that as I know glowing sand-ish stuff, which seemed really familiar. The very next demo is of an overhead shooter, exactly how and what I remembered, in a grid map but not exactly moving like a grid. That sealed the deal for me, now I've got a mission to beat this game. (edited by ztiks on 01-23-07 06:46 AM)

So far this game is pretty much as cool as I thought it was. There's the standard stages, you either walk around with Jason (little dude) or Sophia (tank |
 ) going through, mostly using sophia, for superior firepower, but sometimes using Jason, for smaller areas that sophia cannot fit. There's a boss-view, which is Just Jason, but a bigger sprite, and then there's the top-down view, which would make an awesome game on its own; you move with left-up-down-right, B rotates the turret left, C rotates it right, A fires, there are temporary powerups and powerdowns hidden in blocks, and its just so smooth. Tough as nails, too. Not recca nails, but you know, nails.
Lots of powerups so far, I can fucking hover. Got a more powerful gun that can melt through certain blocks, a drilltip, and so far a few powerups for the little guy, too. The bosses have been pretty lame, though. half of them seem to just go in a set pattern without actually caring what you're doing, the other just chase you down; They don't seem to go from easy->hard, but rather, they're just themed to the levels. They also seem to repeat, twice with different graphics, same basic attack routine once, slightly different attack scheme the second time (shoots fish, speed doesn't increase quite as much when it gets mad) (edited by ztiks on 01-24-07 08:50 AM)

I wouldn't call clarifying a fact "brining him down."

But personally, I never seen the big thing about this gameshow, other than ZOMG SUSPENSE !!! Problem is they over-do it so much, They stretch 10-15 minutes into an hour, over-dramatizing everything, and it really just makes me sick. I guess you might consider it cool if your local newscaster is on a television show, but I don't think I'd be too thrilled if someone I didn't know personally was going to be on a TV show. I dunno.
