Does anyone remember that Superb Mario Bros. game? I remember giving you guys a link to the mockup. Anyway, it was AGES ago, like, last year or something.

So, about a week ago, I get an email from the guy that I worked with on Superb Mario Bros, who I haven't talked to since. He asks if I still do pixel art, and whether if I'm interested in doing another game project with him. He outlines the basics of the game.

It's a cross between puzzle and platformer. It's been done before, but this is different.

It's about a boy who travels the land (we've barely made any story yet), and comes across puzzles. He has to solve them to get past. After going through puzzles he finds Lost Souls, that give him powers. There's 26 Lost Souls in the game (I've told him to reduce it to 9, but I haven't got a response yet), and each Lost Soul is assigned to a key on the keyboard, and pressing (or holding) the key activates the skill.

At first, the boy can only walk left and right. When he finds the first Lost Soul, Aero, it gives him the ability to jump. So, pressing 'A' on the keyboard makes him jump. When he finds the second Lost Soul, Sonic, it gives him the ability to run fast. So, holding 'S' on the keyboard while walking makes him run fast. These were the two examples he explained.

I thought it was a pretty interesting concept.

So far, I've made a walking animation. It's Andrio, but the boy in the game will most likely look very different. Everytime I keep looking at the animation, I like it even more.


I've also half-done a mockup, but I've decided I'll keep these secret until we get further along in the game.

Comment on the walking animation. :D

(tl;dr version down below)

One morning I can't connect to the internet. The router doesn't even show up. I go look at the router. It's fine.
Odd.
Ask dad.
Turns out he's hidden/encrypted/done something to the SSID.
I ask him why.
herp hackers hacking our internet derp.

But we're surrounded by 'casual neighbours'. People who aren't very technologically capable. So it's a pretty stupid idea to go and hide our SSID, when we are probably the only people within the signal that has a computer.

My sister also thought it was stupid when she came over Monday to use our internet.

And earlier today I wanted to connect with my DS. Because I wanna join in on the ACWW Reset thing. But nope. Turns out he's got WPA protection on it aswell. DS can't do WPA :(. I ask him to change it, but he gets incredibly defensive, calling me bad names, the usual. YES, THE USUAL.
IM NOT RISKING OUR NETWORK JUST FOR THAT!

He never gets the point. Ever. Even with other things which are family-related and I will not explain here.

This is a guy who has 5 different anti virus, malware, the like, and believes the loss of system performance is worth it. He had over 300 viruses or something a few years back.

And here's me who has no virus protection (most of the time) and has never gotten a virus. Ever.

TL;DR: Dad's a jerk and won't let me play Animal Crossing.

It's SOOOOO good.

edit: woahwoahwoah....what's up with drawing lines? I can't draw lines. They look digusting. How do I fix this?
edit: lol, fixed. I stand by what I said.

It's okay when I do it, but when Windows does it, while I'm trying to do pixel art, it's GROSS.

I recently made a font (using FontStruct, google it ;D) to save me a LOT of time copying and pasting letters together, which takes a long time and is very tedious.

I tried googling for a solution, but I figured people on a Nintendo-based forum would be much more helpful.

Basically, I want to get rid of the anti-aliasing that gets put onto non-anti-aliased font. If that makes sense.

If you want, download the font I made, and try it out. :)

I think about aliens every now and then.

I think of them as animals, like pigs or sheep. We seem to believe that aliens are more technological advanced than us, but maybe humans are the most technologically advanced in the universe. Think about it:
Humans built the pyramids.
Humans built the castles.
Humans have created weapons of mass destruction.
It goes on and on.

Did a monkey build the pyramids? Did ducks build a weapon of mass destruction? No.

What about the dinosaurs? They lived millions of years ago, and they reigned the Earth longer than we have. But what have they done? Where's their rocket-ship to the moon?

I believe aliens are out there, but they are accomplishing as much as what every other animal has accomplished. They live without ever feeling the need to do things more efficiently. They never feel the need to discover how things work. They just watch curiously as humans become more and more advanced.

We are the most technologically advanced species in the universe.

OCW rearranged spells COW?

Can you make it possible so I can RSS Feed Gamestar's posts?

K thanks,
Andrio

Now that's a funny name.

Gamestar: Just made [must jade*] a youtube video on our club "DSίConnect24" it'll be out next wk out I hope you all enjoys.

Andrio: Why can't you upload it now? I really want to see it.

Gamestar: Well Andrio I can't I don't have comp with internet etcetera so hang on there.

All I had were the memories of past doings, the stuff we all did together, but you were all gone. And I was trapped.

It was dark. It was lonely. I desperately tried to escape. Praying to the gods for guidance, I only ended up back where I began. For hours and hours, the loneliness almost overwhelmed me.

But now, I am free. Free from the darkness. Free from the loneliness. I have escaped.

That was what the bad version of OCW was like.

I have no idea why. All the other sites worked.
