Time is scarce!
It's been a very busy summer, and although I promised to work on my little mouse game, it never seemed to happen.
Sorry guys.
Will try harder next time for sure!

Dark Places
Poor little guy, musta got lost on his way to school. 

Two things should stand out in this screen capture, but they won't so I'll tell you myself!
First the dynamic lighting of the scene (I made it myself,
)
And Second the fact that the guy in the scene is generated in realtime based on what clothes you have equipped.
Lovely isn't it!

Crazy Clothes, Welcome to Paperdoll!
Yay! I finally got around to making a paperdoll system for the "secret" game.
And now for some secret never before spoken info, you'll be able to change your clothes, hairstyle, or hat in this game. Also buying new stuff for your character is a must!

Enjoy the rest of May!

Flash troubles...
Flash, although better for compatibilties sake, is a pain to work with.
Rodent Rush has about 10 different gameplay tunes to keep it interesting, and in the original Vitalize version of the game I was able to use something called "modules" to load the music.
Module music files are fairly small becaue they are modular. Each song file stores only the sounds used in the song and in what order to play them.
Well flash doesn't support module music natively (not built-in), so instead of writing a engine to read them I decided to just convert all the songs to FLV's and steam them, much like how YouTube handles their videos.
In short, it works, but it was still a pain to figure out.

Working on RodentRush Again.
I have a small break in-between the spring semester and summer classes, so I've started working on RodentRush Again.
I'm moving the code over from Vitailze to Flash, so not only will it work on PC's but it'll also work on any device with Flash 10 support, meaning Macs and the like.

For all of you off for the summer enjoy your vacation!

Mystery Game!
OK! I admit it!
I've been secretly working on a game for a while now!
You caught me!

What could it be? Well I'll tell you in a bit. Just hang around!
What I can tell is this:
It'll be for the PC
It'll be online
It'll be fun!
Good Day internet travelers!
