Since my professor pulled the plug on this project for now (I'll likely pick this up over the summer when I have a little more free time -- after I graduate and before my contract is up) and since I have to keep some sort of record of my development project, I might as well one up this whole thing. Blogging? That's seriously 2005 for you. I think that's when I started blogging, and I think I gave it up close to 2007 when it went out of fashion. Anyways, the new thing is livestreaming, so that's how I'll be developing most of this new project
WHICH IS A GAME!
I'm seriously going to try to write a game mostly from scratch in 24 hours. I've kitted up with a pile of energy drinks (I've committed to no more than once every 5 hours to make sure I don't die of a heart attack.) I've set up my server space and I think I've got enough bandwidth to pull this off; I know my machine has the juice to stream several resolutions at once. If things get hit to heavily, I'll just drop the project onto an obscure corner of a development server and go from there.
I really don't know what I'm going to do for it yet; I know I want to do some sort of 2D thing; platforming of some flavor, but I really don't want to make yet another mario 2.0. Some sort of running game with a points system and a randomly generated terrain perhaps? Should be fun. Anyways, the link is http://justin.tv/shiekhgray
I'll stream from 00:00 to 23:59 Thursday, January 9th, 2012. Looking forwards to quite a bit of fun and chaos!
