bbpress vs SMF forums

Ah memories – so it was brought to my attention that my site lacks forums. Back in the day (+6yrs)  ago the forums were a fun place. With shifting hosting providers and website framework the forums got shafted.

Now I’ve setup a forum using bbpress that integrates somewhat into my WordPress site. It has a few visual quirks, but seems ok.

Do you like bbpress or SMF? 

Game #4, SP 11, and future.

Game #4 … sigh this long awaited game is forever in development hell. This platformer (Vampire Game) has been through many iterations only to be put on temporary hold, but only to work on a simpler game. VampireGame

We’ve been off and on with the Vampire Game game that a small break to develop something quick and fun is a needed distraction to get us out of a slump of being burnt out on it.
Egg-Character-Sheet-Copy

We will focus on a quick and dirty mobile game then jump back to the Vampire Game. This mobile game has the premise of a jumping egg… Yeah an egg.

IMG_7579.JPGSpider Powers 11 – it’s more than 70% animated and just waiting to be finished. I try to manage time on this series and the game development. Perhaps some comics to help for lack of animation content would be a good idea.

Future – go watch Back to the Future if you want to know.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy VII was the first Final Fantasy game that hooked me into the series. It was announced at E3 2015 that this remake is happening. 

I’ve spent hours playing this game as a teen. Everyone had it. After several months I borrowed disk 1 from a friend since he was on disk 3. I was sold after just a few hours and bought my own. 

It’s been stated that the remake will not just be cosmetic, but new elements, gameplay, and story will expand the original much in the since of how Resident Evil Remake was handled. If you’ve not played that I suggest you give it a play. 

The funny thing is – it’s been so long since playing Final Fantasy VII that if Square only did change the graphics the game would still be fun, because I’ve forgotten most of the story elements. 

Guess I need to buy a PS4.

Happy New Year 2015!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Break. I’m starting off this year right, by being sick. I recommend it to anyone.

2014 saw two animations from me. Spider Powers 10 and TMNT it’s just a mask. Not as notable as past years, but let’s change that up this year by getting more than one animation out every 6 months. :p

Currently I’m working on the next episode of Spider Powers. Yes I’m sorry I still have dumb ideas to animate for this show. The show may start expanding on current characters and have a more cohesive story line, or it may just still be all random.

Also some of you may remember we are making another game. Development on this had been slow and sporadic in the past, but happy to say progress has been made in the past few months. This game has gone through several changes. Originally it was developed and created in Flash, then moved to Construct 2, till finally choosing Flash Dev and Axel.

It’s been a learning experience creating this game. Which will be applied to any future games we create.
