Coming Soon!
About two weeks ago I thought, “hey, it’d be cool to make a game in 24 hours.” That of course meaning 24 hours total, not one day. So I made up a design for what should be a small game, and started off. Then the design grew (as these things do), and the number of players grew (because competition is fun!), and I even added a velociraptor. However, I also had a lot of stuff come up over the last couple weeks, which made me lose track of my time entirely – so I’m probably somewhere between 24 and 48 hours for this so far.
So I wanted to give all you readers a preview of the public alpha I’ll be releasing by the end of the day (assuming I don’t get loaded down with real life priorities between now and then). It runs on Windows and Xbox, supports up to four players, supports mouse and gamepad control (and keyboard if it makes it in), and is pretty entertaining. I just need to stamp out a few bugs, clean up some more interface stuff, and work on the initial difficulty curve before I’m ready to put this up as a public alpha.
The art is almost entirely by Pablo Poffald, a wonderfully keen artist I’ve had the pleasure of working with in the past. I added a few things here and there (and wrote a shader to emulate some Photoshop effects – look for a tutorial on that in a few weeks).
So if everything goes well, I’ll be putting up an Alpha of this later today, for both Windows and Xbox. I’ll of course appreciate any feedback and bug reports.

Oh, and 10 Internets if you get the reference.

Sick of obtaining low numbers of useless traffic to your site? Well i want to let you know about a brand new underground tactic that makes me personally $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their site out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your serious about producing hassle-free money this is the site for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Not bad! This reminds me of the Hackathon, which is usually held in CA. If you’re interested in speed programming and app/ game programming, you should check it out:)
