Subject: Fantsastic stuff woohoo Broads list at last
That's amazing I just looked at it again yesterday before I started
editing Maria on Tour again. Nice to see my name all over the place
haha. I'm glad you got there in the end Andrew in my eyes it was
worth it 150% well done (I personally would have took a bat to my PC
and I'd be crying about it by now LOL). You're right in one
respect "The Man Who Sold the World" is a Bowiesque type name thing
but (no offense) I prefer the Nirvana unplugged version. Anyway my
girlfriend (whilst discussing JSW with her, and sending her to sleep
whilst driving) she said one of my old tennis bags is signed by
Monica Seles does this Andrew Broad want to buy it from me? I said
are you serious? She said Uh huh? I'm not gonna try and hawk it to
you but I thought I'd mention it just out of interest LOL (my
girlfriend used to be a tennis player when she was younger, not a pro
but a tennis player nontheless). Anyway I can say now I didn't finish
Maria on Tour yesterday but it's still very close, like I said a
while ago (if I still do it) the title screen will take me ages. I
have an extremely large sprite to draw I'm just not sure weither to
build each section out of full 8 frame sprites and make a chase
sequence called "Cat and Mouse" or just to stick to my original plan
involving the same big sprite but with a rigor mortis patch a lot
less guardian table expenditure and no chase scenes (decisions
decisions). Either way I should have it Gamma finished by november
and this is a deadline I'm going to realistically stick to (hopefully
I can finish it long before October is done, but since I've took this
long there's no sense in rushing the last 10 or so screens. I think
in the future I'll give year deadlines instead of months or dates,
because I seem to have had trouble sticking to deadlines since the
Down and Out Trilogy. Strangely enough I noticed this Yahoo is
displaying onscreen properly since yahoo upgraded I loose an inch or
so off the right side of the screen so if I want to read my message I
have to post it first hope I haven't made a mucho pile of spazzy
typos and then read it hahahaha! Anyway I will try to release Maria
on Tour before the end of the month (as I say a realistic deadline
for a change) and then the turkey that is Bizarre soon after (you lot
probably won't think it's as bad as I do now, but it does seem dated
by my standards now). The Down and Out Trlogy SE's I'm still hopeful
for christmas if I do insane amounts of cramming, but like I say I
have had super problems with Skint Willy SE to the point where JSWED
won't even open it. I think I will send John Elliot the file today or
tommorow, I suppose at least if it's completely beyond rescue I still
have time to start it again. After that who knows Thing, Monkey, Man
Who Sold the World, SE's of my 48k games my guess is uncertain. Oh
well that's the way the biscuit falls to pieces or something?
Like I always say Hope everyone and there projects are good or
something, and if they're not good I sincerely hope they're evil
hahahahahaha!!!
Cheers
