Website redesigned! Well, I finally downloaded PHPSlash 0.6.1 (called Greasy Spoon – gotta love these release names!) and plopped it in place. That’s when the problems really started… There’s new toys and stuff in PHPSlash which is very cool (one of them being the somewhat functional mailing list – sign up, and it tells …
New Jumpman Games! Really, I’m not kidding – there’s more than one new Jumpman game out there now! How strange – there’s Jumpman for various platforms, Jumpman Jr for various platforms, Jumpman 2 in development, Jumpman: 2049 in development, and now there is also Jumpman Deluxe for the Amiga (I’m not impressed really, based …
Wow – it’s been a bit since I make an entry into the Diary here. Whoops! So what am I up to at the moment, you ask? (Or maybe you don’t ask 😉 Well, there’s a new game getting close to done – however, it’s not a Boulder Panic! based game, nor is it …
You know, sometimes you don’t know who’s reading. Or at least, I dont – I got a minor shock today. Now, it’s not uncommon for people to read the Developer’s Diaries section, and read my posts here. Funny part is, it’s kind of an abstract concept for me – I know at least a couple …
MidnightRyder.Com was down for 4 days grand total. I’m not real happy about it either. Here’s what happened: MidnightRyder.Com has been running SLOW for a while now, so I complained to my host. They said, no problem, we’ll just move you to one of the new boxes – plus, the box I’m on is …
Something I’ve never really done before – advertising. Yep, I sell a game without advertising it really. Yeah, I plop it down in all the search engines and shareware sites, but, I really don’t do anything with it. Well, with the release of Boulder Panic! 2 DX (the version I’m finally happy with, and after …
Back to work on Jumpman: 2049, business stuff, and something new for me – ADVERTISING!Read More »
So, about 2 AM last night, I released Boulder Panic! 2 DX – the new version of BP!2 that moves everything to DirectX 7. It took quite a bit of hammering and tweaking, but, everything looked good. I had already tested the graphical compatabiliy (ie – does the graphics show up perfectly on all machines …
Start off with, the last version of BP!2 had some minor graphical anomolies – they didn’t take away from gameplay, but, they sure were a PITA for some people. That’s one of the major reasons I started working on Boulder Panic! 2 DX – try and get away from everything that was causing those problems, …
More work on Boulder Panic! 2 (DX), Jumpman: 2049 research, and Summit Software drops the ball… Boulder Panic! 2 is now turning into Boulder Panic! 2 DX. As you might figure from the name, BP!2 DX is a DirectX 8 implementation of Boulder Panic! 2 – it’s the update I’ve been working on for seemingly …
More Jumpman 2049 development information, more meetings with people over money, and more… Jumpman 2049 is progressing. Slowly but surely… Right now, I’m working on something that really isn’t quite nessisary yet – Jumpman’s animations. I’ll post up a quick animation of Jumpman in action sometime soon – for those wondering what this particular itteration …
