@bk4d Cool, NIce to link in with the psd account too. Tweet any awesome-ness you find!
Ahh thunder, lightning and rain sure make a hot day run with it’s tail between it’s legs. Take that temperature!!
@bk4d Any good?
Weather in Sydney today without air-con = Pheeew!
Of the 124 items in my todo list, 32.8% relate to my upcoming wedding … lol. Time to go out get 2 of them done today.
Ok, I’m getting excited. Tower Defence should be ready for launch next week (I will be looking for a sponsor first though)
Played with Macro shot’s a bit last night, here’s some hair on my face – http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2528/4117812573_07135282c5_o.jpg
@bk4d “How to Write a Magnificent #$%&ing Tweet”
I’m now tweaking the sound effects for Body Defence, it’s difficult finding the right sounds especially when they repeat a lot
I want a funny, but ’serious’ lymerick as one of the readings at my wedding, anyone have any links?
Gonna be warm here in Sydney today, 33°C / 91.4 °F … my wind farm of a computer is really going to be blowing today.

Spent US$100 @ $1 cpm for ad’s within Mochi’s advertising system. As I haven’t done this in their system before this should be educational.
Buying some advertising today, haven’t done this in a long time.

Awesome. Very satisfied with how TD’s coming now. That’s enough for today though. To the kitchen with me!
@isaacwilliams oh man, that’s gold!
Is a rumour on twitter a twumour?
@isaacwilliams Ba ha ha ha

@isaacwilliams Ha ha! That’s awesome, finish it!
@isaacwilliams Yeah, and game frameworks all follow a very similar pattern, I learned a bit from flixel’s approach though.
Designing the towers properly in TD now, I can smell the end getting closer!
@bk4d @isaacwilliams I would recommend it, and would use it again. I find it easier to code my own I used it for this – http://tr.im/FgHU
@bk4d Yeah I be interested in what you find, if you try it. I have my own and am also writing an article on it. But I may never release it.
I bought guitarnoize a mug! Don’t ask me what the term means, it’s filthy – http://pic.gd/fa7d1e
@bhousman It’s great seeing an Adobe logo at the bottom of BC’s emails
Sweet, just found out my motorbike is ready after it’s service … early than I expected to. Awesome. Ahh bills bills bills.
Oh man, they were the best hame/cheese/onion/tomato toasted sandwiches I’ve ever made, puts me in the mood for …
Holy cow this is awesome RT @bk4d: Scroll Clock is definitely the coolest link today http://bit.ly/2ugXw3
Ok, more design work to be done on TD game. This time the upgrade tower panel.
@bk4d Yeah, I’ve been avoiding using it at times in case it makes dup’s. I’m all for you developing it further
@bk4d Actually I have a question, if I use pressmytweets part way through the day, what happens if I do it again … maybe I should just try
@bk4d Oooo! Sounds interesting … I look forward to it.
@bk4d Lol, yeah. I have around 6 years worth of games behind me, around 90 games in the Mochi system now. It’s VERY hit & miss for me.
And last stat … my games in the Mochiad system have had 53m ad views, and 13m skipped ads. Shame I don’t have stats from before mochi
@bk4d I earn ad revenue from them yes It’s partly why I don’t work for anyone at the moment (Please let it continue!)
More on stats – My solitaire 2 games, has been completed 172k times from 84k loads.
Cool, a few of my games are now well in the millions of plays. Solitaire – 6.2 m, Treasure Caves 2 – 1.2 m, Flipit – 3.1m, Drive – 4m
Holy crap, Left for Dead 2 looks awesome.
@theletter_7 Cool, I’m playing a lot more lately as it’s a way to hang out with a mate, and I’m actually enjoying it again (lost it a bit)
tweet from xbox!

@theletter_7 Oh yeah, and my server is Zangamarsh (American, oz ones got too full when I signed up)
Hmmm, next time I buy running socks I might buy the right size. eh hmm.
The great thing about designing for something your building, is you know how to set things up so they all work.
Wow, xbox live now links up to twitter, facebook and more – http://su.pr/4HORuZ

Body defence designs round 2

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:51:20 +0000

Here’s the second round of my designs for my upcoming Tower Defence game.

So far it’s still called ‘Body Defence’ (if you think of a better name, please feel free to comment). I’m starting to get closer to the feel I want, though one of the hardest parts is making the paths in-game look right. I haven’t worked much on that part yet, but it’s all generated by code from over 40 tile types.
Hard work but starting to pay off (I think), let me know what you think

I think I’ve found my colour pallete for my TD game – http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/1023262/Waiting_On_Spring
Oh man, what smells like armpits?! … oh … it’s me.
Doing design work on TD, I really do need to practice my skills, I’m just too average at this.
@mike_barry Ahh it’s good to have you back from holiday.
Catching a train, haven’t done this in a while. My baby will be in the workshop for a service now for a few days
Time to take my bike into the shop, needs new brake pads (and a service, but here’s hoping that can wait till after the wedding!)
