Progress on the new version of Phenomenon 32 is surprisingly fast, despite the occasional crash. I’ve already implemented several types of terrain, enemies, things to collect, a simple attack, anomalies, and hit points. And I like the minimalist look – it really does have something eerie. And it reminds me of Metroid II, which is [...]

Constructive
My experiments with Construct have proven most… constructive. It looks like Phenomenon 32 will be split up into two different games after all. This is good news. Trust me. I wanted this very badly. The story wanted it very badly. It means sacrificing a few nice touches, and many hours of work, but this way [...]

Heroism at Command
“War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against each other.” – Thomas Carlyle Today is Memorial Day in the United States, and the [...]

I Have A Dream
Last night I dreamt that we were going to some kind of summer camp in the mountains. A bunch of famous people were going with us, including Martin Luther King, Jr. – despite the fact that even in my dream, he was dead. Malcolm X might also have been there. We were led into this [...]

Richard Biggs
Richard Biggs, an actor I greatly admired, died five years ago today. And I still can’t get over the feeling that that really wasn’t supposed to happen; that something went wrong in the universe.

25/240
Well, today’s my birthday (and Mr. T‘s). I was going to post about all the cool presents I got (including Christopher Lee’s autobiography Lord of Misrule, An Other Cup and Star Maker) but then I read that the US Senate has voted to block the closing down of Guantanamo. The night before the vote, Senate [...]

Malcolm X Day
“I am not a racist. I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.” – Malcolm X Today is the birthday of one of the bravest and most honourable men that ever [...]
