So I have been working on my new game. Not so much the code, but some concept art, and some code planning. The following picture is the play screen. It has two turrets at the bottom left and right, some mountain background to give the illusion that you are on a hill looking far out, and a health bar. The health bar is for the base, which I haven’t drawn out yet. (having some trouble with that) The guys would run from left to right. The middle object is simply the crosshair. So here it is:

EDIT: GOTCHA!!! Link to Base Defense 2: here

I know, I know. It has been a while, and I have been slacking, but I’ve been working on grades and such. Anyways, I have this awesome idea for a game. I played it once as an online game. It is basically defend your castle, except it’s futuristic, and instead of shooting arrows from the castle, you are positioned like on a hill as the attackers pass by. I am really mad that I can’t find the game as I played it a long time ago. I guess I got to make it by memory. So there will be upgrades, infinite levels, highscore. Any more ideas? My name for it will probably be “base attack” or “turret defense”.

Today, I had a waterpolo game against Cathedral, probably our biggest rivals since 5 people got rolled in this game.  (Rolled is when you get kicked out of the whole game)  Even I got rolled and I am not usually the agressive player.  But some little kid was throwing elbows so i kicked him in the face.  And imagine that!  The reff only saw me!  What an embarassment. We did better than our last game against them though.  And we were down two players in the last quarter since so many people got ejected.  We didn’t have many players to begin with.  Whatever.  We’ll just kick their asses next time.

Tonight was sooo fun!  I haven’t gone and partied in a long time.  Felt good to go out with friends.  I am feeling a little sick right now but otherwise it’s all good.  Youth group was fun last night, and tomorrow I have church, and i will go surfing probably.  The waves are supposed to be really nice!

YES!!! Finally, the end has come and I can sit back and relax. I am going to youth group tonight, and tomorrow I will go get wasted with other friends. Sounds kinda bad in one whole sentence huh? But then there is sunday, church, where I get forgiven again. It’s like the circle of life. Oh well, I can’t get myself to write any actual code for FalconStrike. I will just make more sprites. Feels pretty good to make a really good looking sprite. I mean it’s pretty hard to make a soldier with only 16×16 box. SKILL!

This is the main character. A soldier with an assault rifle. There will be more weapons and more sprites, like pistol, rocket launcher, shotgun, and running sprites, looking down while jumping. This is just a little sneak!

Idle, jump, crouch.

PS:  For any UTI members who see this; I need your guys input on how they look.  How could I improve them?

I think the answer is yes! I have tried to have a journal but it never worked out, and therefore I hesitated before making this. But then I said, hey, what is the harm? I am really glad I made it because even if i get bored of using it tomorrow, it felt good writing in it today.

My report card, as I just learned, arrives at my mail box, on the 20th of February. My social life will end there. Two C’s will not satisfy my parents so basically, I’,m screwed. Anytime I think about it my heart beats faster. I hate grades. Writing makes the stress go away. So do many other things but I won’t mention them. How am I going to succeed in life with grades like that? I mean, I want to do good. But when I come home from school, I just veg. School itself drains me enough, that I can’t deal with anymore at home. Whatever. What’s done is done, and life will go on. The storm will blow over, hopefully. But just knowing that the storm will come is torture enough.

I dont know if you are supposed to post twice on the same day. I feel like i am double posting on a forum! But I am a little flamed that I got myself into this situation where I am just constantly saying the wrong stuff on the forums and getting called a moron. I mean, not that I was an angel or anything but come on. Maybe I did deserve it. I wont even post on that again. I don’t even know what to say, and if I do press the reply button, the post i write will not be pretty. So i am just holding my tongue and writing. Why should I get mad at some random guy who doesn’t even know me calling me a moron?

Inspired by DarkerLine and HarrierFalcon, I have made a blog, knowing that only the few readers will read it, and even fewer care. I don’t even know if i will use this at all. This may be my last post as I tend to go by the phrase; “There is never too much of a good thing” and over obsess with it. After a couple days I am deprived of any motivation to continue. But here i am, trying something new.
