Indie game Chaos Gate

It's not finished yet, and all you can see right now is a video preview, but this game looks pretty good! It's an action platformer where you slay dragons and stuff. Looks interesting!

Wolves and Apartments

Here's a new cool game for ya:

… The most part of dry land disappeared under the water in result of chain man-caused cataclysms. The planet was flooded with disgusting monsters. And the ruthless pirates have seized the power over survived people… You are the captain of a frigate and you’re furrowing the boundless seas. The sea way is full of dangers and as the captain of your own pirate bands, you should load your ships, explore unknown territories, attack your opponents, amass gold, upgrade armour and etc.



I've been looking at apartments all day - what an exhausting experience. Some places are like "you mean people actually live here?" and other are "you want HOW MUCH for this place?"

ReInvigorate.net down

Re-invigorate, my website stats system, is down this week. I feel blind without it's "eyes" into my site. I didnt realize how I'd come to depend on checking my site's stats every day to see if I've been doing things that get people interested.

There are so many cool things I have in store for this site this year, I cant wait to get past all of these insane challenges I've had put before me. I need to find a new apartment in less than a month - and I am still being plagued by tax issues. I feel like the runner who has the 50 lb weights on his legs right now. When I get these off - LOOK OUT!

Idea: UI for freeform RPG's

Lots of ideas moving around in my brain lately. With the stress of everthing I'm going through (having to move, taxes, etc.) it's been hard to really find time to do anything other than think for a few mins at a time. I've been reading about Interactive Fiction, freeform RPGS, MUD's, etc. and the thought has occurred to me that there's no real way to do that via the net. Sure you can play a MMORPG, but usually the plot is already set out for you, or if you are just chatting on IRC, there's no graphical map, monsters, characters, etc. Perhaps finding something that bridges that gap - that allows you to have a collective experience with other players, while not entering the game with a preset range of things to do... I'm thinking more of a shared stage that allows everyone to tinker with the sets, plots, treasure, etc. in realtime. Almost like how you used to play with your Star Wars figures, as a kid - only the playground is on the net, and you have much better props than the cereal box and a few Legos.

Dunno, would such an idea fly? Create a place for people to come together and freely play, only not just chat, but not some hard-coded dungeon with premade monsters?
