There might be. Most people had to cancel at the last minute for various reasons, so if there is a next time, the turnout is likely to be a fair bit greater.

I'd turn up. I'm a retard around Birmingham though, I know a few places but not all that well.

I don't see the point in going unless I really have to, it's a 30-40 minute bus up and sometimes i just cba.

very nice Mike. I can tell you've got a lot more to add to that whole flying class. That's when everything get's crazy (flying through mountains, edges of scenery, blah blah blah). Can't wait to see it finished. :)

What do you gaiz think of my latest update ?

no enemies nao , just enjoy everything else while you can

Didn't spend too much time on it, but I noticed a couple of things: The vertical movement for the camera is too slow, during a high fall you can't properly see where you're going to land. Especially when the dialog box is still up. The flying also feels kinda... I dunno... unexciting. It should be faster I think, and maybe you should let the character float down slowly when you're not pressing any buttons.

I noticed you can't double jump anymore after you've reached the highest point? Although that might be more realistic, as far as double jumps are realistic, it takes a bit of fun away. When you're going for a really long jump you want to hit the double jump a bit later than the highest point so you can reach further, but that's not possible. In most games you can do this, so the lack thereof might bug some people.

its actually quite leanient in the jumping thing you can start to fall for a little while before having to press up again , i didnt want people to be almost touching the ground then jumping , that just sucks

Facebook

So I just decided to dust off my good ol' Facebook account. Turns out I have three invites from NG people, and I have absolutely no idea who they are without their NG usernames... Anyway, I'd like to have some more folks from NG on my list. So if you feel like sharing some contact info drop me a pm or something.

Google helped me out already :)

If only other people can use Google to solve their problems.

Good, now quit having sex with the movement codes and start making the actual game.

we should make a game where the goal is to have sex with the movement codes.

You make a game, boy.

HDXmike, I'm curious... Why did you choose that picture for your signature?

Does this function which creates a loop which adds velocity to the player smell like chloroform?

I think I'll make a sig like Mike's but with that type of Grass in it. =p

But... I have to get my CDL (Commercial Driver's Licence) to take a promotion I was just given at work, so no more of that for me.

What would you guys think if I changed my name to Farza? (Mikes idea)

My real name is Farzain Maheed, got any other suggestions?

Wow, I was actually just going to send you a PM telling you that it'd be a good idea to change your username.

Farza is much better than "windowskiller".

This took way too long to make.

It had to be done, though. I hate how ignorant some people are of code tags.

Way. Too. Long...

Hm. I think I'll do that, would I just PM Wade or something?

At least it was short.

I'm getting tired of going by bus 30km several times a week in order to get to uni, so today I checked out an apartment right next to it :) It seems great, just a wee bit expensive (2x my current rent, for pretty much an equivalent apartment to what I have now, just not in a shithole town). It's actually supposed to be a few m2 bigger, but the construction plan made it seem smaller, so I decided to dust off my old CAD skills just to get a feeling about how much junk I can fit. [OMG VIDEO]

I've got until tomorrow to decide whether or not I want it, and after making this model I think it's going to be good enough. If so I'm moving June 1st :D

Go for it. It might be more expensive, but it's all about location, location, location. Plus you'll get at least an hour extra in bed in the mornings if you don't have to travel 30km every day.
