    I Never Know What to Call These


    2010 - 07.07

    Ok so I lied in my last post that I’d do a review of the E3 press conferences. I was going to but never got round to it and it’s a bit late now. Let’s just say I’m super looking forward to Nintendos follow up handheld to the DS, the 3DS. Partly becauseĀ  it can play games in 3D with adjustable depth without the need for glasses but mainly because the list of developers making launch title games is gob-smackingly awesome. Seriously, it’s amazing. Also there’s a new Kirby game coming out for the Wii which has somehow managed to make Kirby look even cuter.

    Life wise me and Ruth met up with Gemma and her niece, it’s been a while since we’ve done that and it was nice to see them both again. The next day we met up with Carla and watched Ponyo (I have the DVD now :D ) and then the four of us plus Taylor went to see Get Him to the Greek (as you know).

    Oddly I’ve not been playing games much the last week or so. How odd. I’m in the mood to create something at the moment. I’ve been writing more notes and trying to piece ideas and characters together for the webcomic. I thought of all these ideas of what characters are doing but only now coming up with reasons as to why they’re going to do these things. As a result a new characters has been invented and added into the story, who as it turns out is going to be very important. Funny how this works.

    I’ve also been playing around with Game Maker again and I’ve realised how much I’ve missed it. I’ve re-started making the game I was making in the previous summer holidays entirely from scratch again making some changes in doing so. I also found out how to do something that will allow me to do some cool things in the main menu for the game that completely eluded me before.

    So er…yeah, that’s about it.
