Hey, havent made a post here for a while!

Ive been prettttty damn busy over the last few months. Ive learnt PHP and SQL, released 2 games and tons of other stuff, with my laptop breaking halfway through and dealing with the Dell team as usual was a delight...

So yeah PHP... Im not gonna go massively into detail on this but we had to make a user driven community website which required us to use php and sql to create a database driven cms site (kind of like what newgrounds is).

I came up with shootSandwich, which I was pretty happy with :) If you like sandwiches check out some of the ones on there or even post your own!

Ive also built myself a temporary website as a kind of hub for all my goings on. Check it out, theres loads of other stuff on there and much more frequent blog posts, if theres anyone out there whos interested!

Ive also been using flash lots too! ive released 2 new games in the past few weeks, Christmas Cannon, and The Sperminator, a collab with Chaz!

Check out both the games and leave a review, i love to hear what people think!

Ah yes, Penguinz. Its taken me years to finally bring this game together, and to be honest I still have a little way to go. Ive decided, after over a year of no updates from Vengeance that Im going to use a new coder to build the game from the ground up. Its not something I wanted to do, but its allowed me to to take a fresh look at the game and refine a lot of the gameplay elements, and will definately result in a better game.

There will now be a much larger amount of upgrades for all the weapons, from accuracy and damage upgrades to shotgun and rocket launcher addons.

The games also going to be coded in AS3, which will allow for way more enemies onscreen and generally more caaarnage.

LongAnimals will be working on the game and assures me he should have a finished version in a month! Im not sure how realistic this is but Im really excited to see how it comes together :)

Finally, Dimoria has offered his services to make music for the game, and has come up with a Theme song for the game, something im VERY excited about, its amazing please check it out!

Its a really exciting time for Flash with me right now :) I have a load of stuff to release into the portal within the next month, some older projects ive been working on for a while, as well as some quick smaller games ive put together with various people just to make some cash.

Penguinz should finally be finished fairly soon. Ive been working on this game with Vengeance since this time last year, but its been delayed for a load of different reasons. I started my first year of Uni this year and didnt have as much time as I would have liked to put towards the game. Also, Vengeances computer died so he hasnt been able to work on anything for quite a while. Plus, we're both just lazy bastards.

But yeah, the game is looking awesome so far. Ive been working really hard on the cutscenes, trying to concentrate on practicing my full body fbf skills, which seem to be really improving. Im really happy with how they have come out so far. The trouble with spending a year on making a game is that my art skills significantly improve over that amount time, which makes the quality a bit inconsistent. This isnt really noticeable with Penguinz though as I made sure all the characters fit the same style. The only difference you may notice is the improved animation quality in the cutscenes!

Anyway, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the game, I really looking forward to releasing it!

Another game I just finished is Fowl Play. A few people may have played the beta for this, basically its a short fast fun arcade game where you get revenge on birds - by shitting on them. The game is actually 100% completed, we are just waiting for our sponsor to give the go ahead - for some reason they want to wait until mid august to release the game. I am sooo happy with how the art turned out in the game, I feel I managed to finish everything off to a really high standard. Ive set myself a new bench mark for future projects!

Ive also been working on atop secret personal flash movie. Really happy with it so far and it should be finished really soon so keep an eye out for it, you might like it :D

As I said ive also been working on some smaller games, I just did all the art for a real simple game my friend knocked up today. Chaz also asked me to do the graphics for a simple little last-stand style defense game he's been working on, It shouldnt be a lot of work but just something nice and small for me to get stuck into! There should be a real small amount of artwork so I might just go all out and make it look shit hot... But tbh I dont think I have the time.

All this, and ive also set up a design/media agency thing with some mates from uni. Its called Grindhead and basically we are just going to make flash games, websites and other media productions while going through uni - its a good way to make money while practicing and learning skills, and itll also be brilliant to come out of university with a degree and a load of professional contracts on my portfolio :)

So yup, ive been designing websites as well as doing all my flash work!

Exciting times :)

Hey! Some of you might have seen my post a few weeks ago about making an income from flash over the summer... Well our first game is nearly finished and ready for testing before its release!

Im looking for around 10 people to thoroughly test the game and point out any bugs, weak spots and generally just give us a good overview of what they think, and let us polish it to perfection before we go looking for sponsors.

I wont introduce the game, ill let it speak for itself. All ill say is its called Foul Play and involves getting revenge on birds by shitting on them :D

If anyone is interested in testing the game please either say here or PM me, and ill send you a full list of things we want commented on and a link to the game! Please note we are only looking for people who are actually going to sit down and play through it a few times. The game is short, itll only take about 10 minutes to play through, but I dont want any timewasters who just want to quickly look at it and play it for 5 minutes. If I think youre gonna do this, I will simply not include you in the beta.

I will collect a list of people who want to test the game in time for beta release sometime this weekend!

Wow my first news post :D I thought I may as well make one of these about what im working on at the moment.

I am making a sidescrolling shooter with vengeance, in which you play as a penguin and shoot the shit out of things, basically!

Progress is coming along pretty well, we have about 5 levels, 11 enemies (including 2 bosses) done, and its looking sweet!

The game is arena based, much like staggy, in which you play for 1 minute rounds, killing as much as you can and earning cash in the process, with which you can buy new weapons and upgrades! The engine is so fun to play with and I am really pumped for the game!

Vengeance posted a gameplay video on you tube if you wanna see the game in action :P

Also, heres some taster art to sink your teeth into :P
