It would appear we are orbiting a star.

Phenomenon 32 is almost finished. Well, actually it is finished, but I’m mulling over some sound issues right now. Not so much problems as a way of doing things a little better. But the game can be played, and it doesn’t appear to be crashing. Well, it crashed once, but …

The Good News

The bad news is that I need to work on Phenomenon 32 for a few more days. The good news is that the reason I need to work on it is that I seem to have discovered the origin of the constant crashing that was so ruining the game for …

Changes

I’ve been making some changes to Phenomenon 32 – beyond the bugfixes, that is. And I’m quite happy with the results so far. Saving and loading has been altered radically. There is now only one game state – you don’t save/load at all. You just continue playing. This means that …

Commentarium!

We are very pleased to announce that Commentarium.net, our new film & television website, is up and running. It’s going to be a great deal of fun – for more details about what kind of website we’re envisioning, you can read the first post, or you could skip straight ahead …

What’s going on?

Glad you asked. Quite a bit, actually. Tomorrow I’ll start working on Phenomenon 32 again, in the hopes of getting version 0.9 out soon. I’m typing the parts of my novel that aren’t typed, and ordering many of my novel-related files. This may not seem like much, but it’s actually …

Failure is You! and other thoughts

I’d been looking forward to the release of RPGcat for some time now – it really makes me smile, and I wanted to share it with people. I thought it had real potential to become a webseries that people would follow and enjoy. The reality of it is quite different, …

Arthropods!

A number of bugs have been reported in the version I uploaded. Some of them make sense and will be fixed by the new save/load system, while others are entirely insane. (Spawning in terrain? That shouldn’t be even remotely possible.) I’m wondering whether some of them aren’t simply due to …

Partial Victory for Sky Cat

I have gotten approximately 6.5 hours of sleep in the last three days. Oddly enough, this is not due to working on the game; but it doesn’t make it easier. So you’ll hopefully excuse me for going to sleep now, and uploading the game tomorrow. Uploading means waiting – and, …

The Truth About Release Dates

You: So, when’s Phenomenon 32 going to be released? Tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Never? Jonas: Well, I was hoping tomorrow. Sky Cat: Don’t be too sure about that. Jonas: Why? It’s done, and I’ve decided that this crashing thing can’t be fixed. It doesn’t happen all the time, anyway. …

Does this sound tinny to you?

Testing, testing, testing. One out of two problems seems to be OK now, though all these errors are so unpredictable that I still feel quite paranoid. The crashing error, oddly enough, seems to occur only when I’m running the game from inside Construct. When I just run the .exe, it …
