What I’m Working On: Dadaists Gone Wild 2

Uncategorized: September 14th, 2009

So, I’ve been working on this for a little while, but I realized I haven’t actually made a blog post about it yet.  I’m making a sequel to Dadaists Gone Wild.  It will be quite a bit larger than the first game, and will most likely not be freeware.  I’ve got a DevLog on the […]

Talking about Music: The Resistance

Uncategorized: September 16th, 2009

So, I got the recent Muse album, Muse being one of the few modern bands I actually listen to regularly.  They definitely continue to get a nice Queen sound going in a lot of the harmonies, especially in bits of United States of Eurasia when they really sound like Queen (Both harmonies and guitar).  Also, […]

Design Musings: A World Within a World

Uncategorized: September 22nd, 2009

Okay, I love games based on exploration.  My favorite games are Action-Adventure games, particularity the ones made by Nintendo and Rare for the Nintendo 64.  Recently I’ve been thinking about one of my favorite games of that period:  Donkey Kong 64.
That game made quite an impression on my younger self, mainly because of the way […]

Crazy Trumps Sensible

Uncategorized: September 23rd, 2009

I’m not counting this one as a design musing as it applies to most forms of entertainment.
The problem I see with most entertainment I see is that it tries to make something safe and sensible.  The idea is that if you know what you’re making, and keep it simple, it’s less likely to fail.  However, […]

Freeware Game - Dadaists Gone Wild 7: Super PumpNik

Uncategorized: September 28th, 2009

Dadaists Gone Wild 7:  Super PumpNik is a very short Sidescroller (spelled with a capital “S”) with a Dadaist (spelled with a capital “Q”) twist.
“What is this!?” You may be asking yourself, “Wasn’t only the first Dadaists Gone Wild released and isn’t the second still in development?  Why is there a seventh?”
Yes.  Why is there […]
