ZOMG where does time go? Seriously? Oh well. On 4-10-10, Naota released Escape the Bathroom Reloaded, and it got more positive reviews than it’s predecessor. In the mean time, I’ve still been working away on Escape the Store. We added more puzzles, and I had to improve the graphics. Btw, we beat our old unique hit record (previous being 13,780) with 13,802. Woot!!! As of now, I’m sitting in my hotel room in Florida, checking out the Full Sail campus. A professor graded my work (7 years of self-taught 3d animation/art/modeling) C for hand art (sketching, sculpting, etc) and B for technical art (3d animation, etc). Not too bad. Also, Darkknighth20 had me watch the anime Ghost Hunter. Freaked me out. But it’s all for a purpose, perhaps like a new game…

Well I think now that Skynet Enterprises is now taking over the Escape the Store’s final stages, I will be going back to what I do best, 3d animation and making a short video, all thanks to Tarboy hurting my pride…

Meanwhile Naota and I are free to work and finish Escape The Store 3D. Oh yeah, we beat the 1,000,000 mark for web site rankings! Woo-hoo!!!!! I’ve been thinking about making a short game, or making a series possibily. It will certainly be unqiue.

I completely forgot about updating the blog. Well Escape the Bathroom is almost done, Naota will be taking over soon to make the game sexier. Meanwhile, I’m still brushing up on AS2 and game ideas, so I’ve been really trying to make some good quality games. I can’t wait for Escape the Store. Due out between Dec 25th and Dec 30th.

I have been up for 12 hours, I think, working on Escape teh Store. I ran into a problem, the file size was building up, so I cut some of the camera angles to presevre space and keep the storyline / funny stuff. So far its coming along well, maybe another 10 or so hours of good hard work and I’ll have a beta out.

PS: Buy a really big frozen burrito and try and karate chop it in half with one hit.

I have FINALLY beaten borderlands! That is a very long game, and very fun. I HIGHLY reccomend you get teh patch, because I did get the glitch that erased all my character stuff (I was very sad). Now I can resume the Escape the Store game in peace.

Yeah, I finished rendering all teh base images for Escape the Store. Now I can begin to make the items and code in teh interface. Joy!

Ya know, as I’m working on these Escape the <Fill in blank here with place>, I constantly wonder when it will all end. And I came up with something ridiculous. Escape the Country???

Well its been quite a while. Naota, DK, and serv_bot_kill and I have been playing Rise of Nations a lot lately, I really do suck at the game, all I can do is make a quick army, only to have it smashed later in the game, despite several allied saves that I take credit for. Anyways, I really should get back to programming the games now. Peace for now.

At last, I get to work on the images now for Escape the Store! Too bad each image is going to take about 1 – 3 hours due to the complexity of shadows, reflections, light bounces, transparency, etc. And that is with AA and mental ray. Blah. I need a new computer.

Can I voice an opinion? Am I the only one who thinks translation from AS2 to AS3 is a right pain in the arse? I’ve been coding in those two languages all along when doing Escape the Store and Where’s Mr. Chang, and I’m like, wtf mate?!!! Well I want to get the navigation done in Escape the Store before I study for my midterm in.. 12 hours, so I hope I get stuff done! Time to nut up and shut up!

PS: Today I met the producer of EA Games. Pretty cool. He’ll prolly laugh at our game, but I had to try, at least I was given the opportunity.

Had a weird dream. I was back at radio shack, and a mob of possessed people or zombies came rushing in, so doing what i did best, i took up products and bashed away. except when all was done, i had a cut on my finger. After I said “oh shit” i woke up.

10-12-09 @ 15:28

I woke up and we passed 10,000 unique visits. PRETTY DAMN GOOD LADS! Now to start sketching out the next game… *fills my coffee mug* As a record, we had 13,780 unique visits at the end of this day. It’s a record!

Can’t sleep yet, so I’m drawing up cartoon sketches for the next game, Where’s Mr. Chang? Foo-King Republic. Its gonna be like Where’s Waldo? but much much funnier and more difficult, given that, most asians do look alike… even in my eyes.

We finally released Escape the Bathroom. I’m so happy, weeks of rendering in Lightwave, programming in AS 2.0, earfuls of complaints/critiques until my ears bled, now its over! Our baby is walking on its own! But given its rating, it was prolly born with polio.
