Erkki Posted March 20, 2012 Can I plug a single blog post? Probably not much interest to most of you, though -- it's about the Scala programming language. I think it turned out quite well (also because I had a good editor) http://zeroturnaround.com/blog/scala-sink-or-swim-part-1/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hermie Posted March 24, 2012 I wrote a something about how Journey made me feel, would love some feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cult of Jared Posted March 25, 2012 I wrote a something about how Journey made me feel, would love some feedback. I enjoyed it. I am barely a writer, but when obliged I adhere to the "If you can't make it good, at least make it short" mantra. Your piece is nicely bite sized, but could probably be even more compact. It has one core idea, but still required some scrolling on my part. Also most of your beats fall into the 'sentimental' category. I don't know how much Journey allows for this, but you might try adding some surprises in the middle. Keep in mind I am only an internet person. For real peer review, there is no substitute for the real life people you trust to make your work better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hermie Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks! That's very valuable to me. =) I'm very much in the "finding my voice" phase, so it was refreshing to try a completely different style of writing once. Your advice is solid, and applies to most creative stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SometingStupid Posted March 26, 2012 So as a result of Drath posting about his indie roguelike Wayward and my wanting to move into a new field of entertainment on YouTube, he agreed to allow me to interview him and put it on teh interwebz! This is the result, and hopefully also the start of a great new series. tTK_57qmoEk Your thoughts and criticisms are much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your advice is solid, and applies to most creative stuff. I think the post was definitely a good thing, though a bit poetic in nature, which isn't always the obvious choice, but it still works well as a little standalone piece, probably not something you want to do too frequently though.

Ben X Posted March 27, 2012 I think he's asking if this is just restricted to Manny's model or if you're doing a complete overhaul of the game's models, or perhaps if this will be playable in the full game..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick Posted March 29, 2012 I made a bunch of webcomic-related felt sculptures, and more are coming!http://stabwool.tumblr.com http://stabwool.etsy.com They are adorable! Are the innards made of the same wool or is there some wireframe construct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted April 2, 2012 If it's one or the other, but basically is the full game going to be redone with updated models and textures? Basically, yes, although some of the background characters may be left alone. So, now I've finished plugging Thunder's shit, I'm going to plug my own: I am pleased to announce that after warming up my vocal talents for an unreleased Dan and Ben episode (leaked clip here: ) (not really, just a joke recorded for this thread), I have voiced the main character for Unga Needs Mumba, a freeware AGS game! Free download here. Production thread here. It has just been released. Please give it a go, even if you don't play all the way through! It's a tough little game but if you examine everything, the descriptions give a lot of clues. And the presentation is gorgeous. Please promote, Tweet, etc! http://twitter.com/TimeGentleman/statuses/186757235282681856 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
