Current Waves of News

Sept: 2 Hello gamers, PC junkies, and kids sitting in their mother's basement. Heh heh, yes I see you.  Anyhow i'd like to appologize like I always do for not updating this thing in ages, but I've got many awesome things to share. (yay) T__T  I've got two brand new games in the mix for this coming fall! HOORAH!

=- Poller-Roller Remo:  A top-view, adventure rush that takes you back to the days of "Marble Maddness".... with a twist.  The game begins in the ever chaotic land of Runia where I'll probably figure out some cliche storyline!! :D yAy.  You take on the "ROLL" of Remo, a pint-sized, rotund creature, and venture to starlit celestial speedways, and cookie-filled caverns.   The game features an adventure mode where you uncover the ..."Story" that I havent written out yet :D and a time trial mode, where you complete each level as fast as you possibly can to win medals.  More medals equals secrets like unlocking a sound test, and character art. JOY! :3   This purely-arcade driven roller rush wil be ready for download this fall!!!

=- Sapphire Stories: The Luna Staff:  When a mystic staff that draws mana from the moon to control the seas goes missing, the ocean currents run amok!  Journey below the Mystic Ocean in this skill-based game to rescue all 100 of the baby octopi that were whisked away by the rampant currents.  Battle massive boss characters, solve puzzles, and save the sea in this  "nearly completed" title for the fall!. 

Ill have some sweet screenshots of these beauties soon enough, so.... yea... Im gonna go do what I do best.
Laaaaaaaaaaters!


 

 

May 30. You humans ... um.. yea its been a realllly really realllllllly long time since I updated and such.. but I finalyl finished my next game!! I present to you Rebound Squared!  The action packed seqeul with two times the bouncing, and two times the fun.   Check it out in the downloadables section`

Apr. 07 Yea. um. Im getting some complaints about how I "Haven't composed any new music in the past couple of months. GET OFF MY BACK! I havent been here in a while and sorta forgot about it >_> but yea. If you all want the soundtracks from Rebound Revolution, Squared and Cameo's Quest, you'll have to wait. Im going to be releasing an entire music pak this summer with all 90+ songs i've written over the past years.  Is Rebound Squared my last game?  Youll just have to wait and see.

Apr. 05: Man. Been away for some time.  Its kool tho, cuz I've gotten a lot more work done on Rebound Squared.  Every time I make a game, I always talk about how "theres less glitches" and bla bla all that crap.  Im shooting for that, aswell as the gameplay factor now.  R2 Still holds all the gameplay elements that of R1, but with more flexibility on gameplay and different game modes.  I should have it done within the next few weeks I hope seeing as how I've got 2 more bosses to program and 1 level to put together.  Coding's a $#@! right now, but Im almost there! Thanks for hangin in there guys! Peace out!

Feb. 3 LOL Im in art class, and It kinda suks.... but hey... only a little more before Rebound Squared is released !!!!Huzzah!.

-I just completed the level selection map last night!! Yay. There should be at least 70 levels tops... YAY!!!1 Huzzah for annyoing long games that you cant beat in an hour!!! BAM! ok currier's comin.... Im going to run away *flee*

Jan. 10 As you may already know, I've begun work on Rebound Squared, the sequal to Rebound Revolution.  Hopefully Ill be able to finish it all before April or earlier.  There's a few things that might stretch time though.  I'm working on yet another site to host my games and music because I think that freewebs is a little messy and ... well... old... I mean sure, it's got a year's blog on how I started the site, and how I found out about game programming, but I want something new since More people are starting to flood the site o_0.  I've acquired new templates and other spiffy, wonderful things to make it look fantastic.... I just need some time to make it all work.

Jan. 6 YAY!!!  Its been so long since I've uploded any new Music In the Cozy cove, but I've just released "Efflorescense" a hopefully familiar melody to Harpo 1 fans.


Dec. 17:  Huzzah!  As you may not know, I have been hard at work at a new game titled "Cameo's Color Quest" to be released in a few days!  This game is by far my most polished platform game by far.  No graphical clips, smoother movement, and vibrant, unique graphics signiture to the game.  I'm not going to bother telling you about the music though.......just go listen to some of my samples

Travel BACK to Runia to unfold the story of a new hero, trying to prove himself by returning all the color to his shattered town. 

-More options and user-friendliness

-Over 40 levels

-Panic-enducing boss battles!

-Better dialogue boxes.

-Save function!!:  Save your game along the way, and start again whenenver you like.

All in all, this game plays like Harpo's Amazing Adventure with no glitches or bugs! (sound good) I hope you all enjoy it.


Nov: 4 Um wow.... so I guess I work faster than I thought.

The new game Rebound Revolution is COMPLETE, AND READY FOR DOWNLOAD!

check the "Downloadables" section

 

Nov: 2 Rebound Revolution is by far one of the fastest projects I've worked on, and yet, still fun and playable with much replay value. All Levels and bosses Are completed. The few remaining tasks include..

A Theme tune for the title screen

The possibility of a character select <-- Iffy 

Mini-Games.

An Ending to the story after the Final Boss.

As you can see, these are minor tasks that I can probably finish by next saturday at the earliest, so be prepared for a platform game of a different Kind.

 

Harpo's Adventure 3 will probably hit the site by Mid 2006 or earlier. After much confusion  with number 2.. I plan to shrink the game once more since the third installment's story isnt as lengthy. I can tell you this much though....

3 characters.

Harvy and Dark Venom's First game apperance since the comics.

3 modes of play. 

Larger Levels

Smaller Game

 

Other projects I tend to Look towards:

Harpo's Breakout.

Cameo's Color Ctastrophe.

Harpo 3: Shroud of Dark Venom.

And Possibly one last Rebound Game.

After that Ill be in College trying to major in the OBVIOUS.... So enjoy these upcoming games untill then. Hopefully I'll improve someday and learn a lot more. Its possible... dreams DO come true.. just scroll down...................

Thats it for me! Wish me luck and Stay cool you guys!

~Peace!

Oct: 31 ALLRIGHT People! Happy something-ish day!

Super important: My friend Tommy is testing Harpo's Amazing Adventure 2 and has done a spectacular job of cleaning up the bits and pieces of glitchy maddness. Its difficult to find all the errors as the programmer because when you know what to expect, you avoid it. Currently Im adjusting the sprites so that you dont stick to the landscape when you jump or move. This was an ANNOYING error that is being fixed. Ill notify you all when i complete theses tasks.

Also: The finale of the game had a minor error. The password box was totally non-existant untill now. A fresh download is now ready to go for H.A.A.2! Very sorry about the errors and thanks again for sticking in there with me. Until then~

Sep. 12: YAHOOO! There's only one more segment to Harpo's Amazing Adventure 2 to complete. Im overjoyed at this moment, as I begin to program the final battles, puzzles, enemies.

:NEW SCREENSHOTS POSTED IN             "Runia"


Aug. 30~ Lack Of Sleep: Ok........I've finally reached the point in every game programmer's programming line. The point where you're so tired of working on the same game, that you just wanna give it up and move on, but thats not what Im gonna' do, because I can't afford to be lazy if I want to make this an enjoyable, and exciting game for you. All that's left is the following

~~~~~~After Trekking through Stalacia cave, and climbing Freea mountain, Harpo finds himself in a dark void. The void where all evil in runia is spawned and banished. Once there the finale of the game begins with the final  3 battles agains Nevil to save his planet.

4 Bosses left to program----5 Levels to arrange---first game test,

 

HANG IN THERE EVERYBODY!! HARPO'S AMAZING ADVENTURE 2 IS GONNA' HIT THE NET BY THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER AT THE LATEST.  After Kliufi tests the beta version, and the graphics are touched up, It will be ready for all to N-joi~ ^ ^ later.


 

Aug. 18  HARPO'S AMAZING ADVENTURE 2, screenshot gallery is now open in RUNIA~

NEW ENTRIES IN THE CONQUEST JOURNAL!!!


Aug. 18 Wow! What an instant change. O.K. so all problems have been resolved and I am now able to finally able to finish working on the final half of my game.

To do List:

Program 3 more bosses.

8 More Stages

10 new enemy characters.

2 cutscenes.

Looks like a lot but its actually NOT. It just takes a little while. So now that school has begun it will obviously dock some time off of my regular schedule, but thats o.k. as long as i have about an hour per day to work Everything should turn out ok by October. :D

Aug. 17~My appologies, but no further work on H.A.A2 will continue for the remainder of August. There have been certain things I need to take care of and Ill notify you when Im able to work again. ~_~ 'k thanx


HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MYSTIC OCEAN!


August 12: Game progress continues throughout the summer, yet school is starting on Monday which is gonna chop down the time I have to finish programmin stuff a bit. Also, I'm in the process of moving and I won't have internet connection for a week @__@ so yea.. I'll notify you guys when I get the chance!


August 2nd: HUZZAH! Another 2 level sets programmed, finished and ready to save.!

July: 26 FINALLY BACK ONLINE!!!  Sorry for the sort of "vacation" that I took for 10 days. My computer was going through some crazy virus battle. Tip #1.... don't mess with online mp3's T_T ANYHOOT! While I was away, I worked quite a bit more on my game. Currently Harpo Journeys into the slug-infested Death Bayu and encounter's a haunted ship. Once inside, He discovers that taking A LARGE SALT SHAKER with you for every trip might not me a bad idea.    Confused? Great... suspense is part of the fun.

Currently I've got 5 out of 7 bosses  programmed, and 10 levels. But that doesnt mean Im giong to stop here!

July 16: The first three chapters of Harpo's Amazing Adventure 2 are finally completed!

Harpo ventures out to finish finding the seven Crystal Amulets that Nevil is utilizing to create the Ring of Eternity. He begins his adventure this time where the last one left off: Corola Beach (and later in chapters 2 and three into dense jungles, volcanoes, and YOUR COMPUTER?!?!?!) . As Harpo goes deeper into the abyss of the ocean, he finds a cave with an ornery octopus inside, utilizing the Sea-Side Amulet of water to stop Harpo. Will it be enough to stop our optimistic Hero? I guess you'll Just have to wait.

July 12: Game Progress :

Level Layouts-27%

Characters-25%

Bosses:15%

Music:75%

movement:50%

July 7: Great news! Progress on Harpo's Adventure: Eternal Promise is moving much faster than it did when I made my first game. What's even better is that I'll be able to put as much as I want in this version. July.... it seems to be the month of MORE.. more memory, space. bytes O_O OH JUST IGNORE ME! v_v This time I will separate the game into 4 segments in one file.. Kind of like a multi-disk game and that means...

BIGGER BOSSES: over 5 new  Stage Boss Characters with better AI and more interaction.

You choose your destiny: Collect the seven crystalized Amulets to protect you along your quest, each blessing you with abilities such as an electric whip to power over terra-firma.

The story dives deeper: Nevil isn't done terrorizing Runia, He's out to create the Ring of Eternity by shattering the Crystal Amulets.

Amazing music: Do I REALLY have to explain this?

Better controls: REJOICE, as Harpo's actions are polished in this new game, no more strange buggy glitches as seen before.

 

July 4: HUZZAH! FINALLY, MY VERY OWN WEBPAGE OTHER THAN THIS HAS BEGUN, AND YOU CAN ONCE AGAIN DOWNLOAD HARPO'S AMAZING ADVENTURE WITHOUT SLOW LOADING TIMES OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS, LET THE NEW BEGINNINGS...........well... begin?  


June 28: Iv'e noticed that the new download for Harpo's Amazing Adventure has recently begun to malfunction. I appologize for the inconvienience and will immediately search for a new host,



June 24: Alex Arrives! :'D, Happy Birthday Aubree! /////

Summer's In full blast now, and it has its pros and cons. To all my friends, and fans of Harpo out there, keep cool during the summer heat, and watch out for mosquitoes that may have contracted the West Nile virus. Bleh~

On the plus side, things only get hotter around here as progress on Harpo's Adventure 2 continues. Ill have lots of information, screenshots, and music up by Mid-July or earlier, so come back regularly. All I can say now is that it has the esscence of the first game, [which is what I was shoooting for], but isn't ANYTHING like it in gameplay, comedy, and Bosses.  It's polished, refined, and better than ever. I can't wait to share it with you.  ~Ed


June 18: New MIDI "Bugg'n the System" has been added to the cozy cove.


June: something-eth <3 BRAND NEW FASTER DOWNLOAD FOR HARPO'S AMAZING ADVENTURE!!!!http://upload.gm-school.uni.cc/index.php?&...20Ocean%20Games 


June 4:  The story of Harpo continues on in Harpo's Amazing Adventure 2, the upcoming sequal. I've already began working on it for those of you who enjoyed the first and have imporeved many ingame flaws like the accursed health bar fiasco and extra animations so bring the game to life.   

2 new songs have been added in the cozy cove!


May 30:  I return bearing great news! In ONE day, softynx will release "Gunbound World Champion" the second version of the  popular Gunbound game. This new version will include new maps, mobiles and other goodies as well so its a must have. I reccoment downloading the installer today!

 www.gunbound.net

May: 23  FINALLY! MY GAME IS FINISHED!  FOUR MONTHS OF HARD WORK HAS COME TO AN END =D.. don't be fooled by my smile... because all of my friends were dissappointed and complained about it THE WHOLE TIME THEY PLAYED IT     T_T.. way ta make your friends feel good eh? No better way then insulting their months of hard work. I also appologize, for the download time on this web page. Freewebs is incredibly slow and it might take too long. But if you DO manage to download it, I must warn you, the top complaints were "bla bla, theres no sprite when u get damaged" and "blah blah, I need more health" Little do some people know, that there are certain difficulties that I need not explain that hinder me from programming these seemingly simple things into the game. Feel free to complain like a loser and reject my sleepless night of slaving away just to make my "friends" happy........... 

May: 11  YAYEAH!!!!! ONLY 7 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT AND IM TOTALLY STOKED. The game is finished and I have Kliufi Chow as my official game tester. Without her, I would have never found 6 other bugs in my game before I put it up for download. x_x; I owe a HUGE chunk of gratitude to her. Lets all give a hand to Q.!!!

May 4: ugh! My gym class had to run a mile yesterday. I ended up running it in 6:22 which is really good for me, but now my legs hurt so bad cuz I didnt have the right running shoes. T_T  The game is almost finished.. and I know ive been saying that for weeks on end now, but I continue to add more and more on to make this the mose user-friendly, and enjoyable game I can!. well,I dont want to be late for skool, peace~

Gaah! But its ok.. I dont know why, but I dont worry as much as I used to.. I just brush it off.... guess I'm a mellow guy~ :3 The time is almost here as im putting the finishing touches on ending my game and trying to make it fast so it runs great on most comps.  Its extremely fun to create games and I suggest it to anyone with a lot of patience..... a whole crap-load of it... honestly. I've been trying to help my friend on another game were making, and its different to see ideas from another perspective and execute the ideas on spot. @_@ But in due time, it all comes out all right... like expectant peanut babies...................................Well its kind of late.
