I see VGA Miner.

I actually was thinking of that while making this... this is a bit different, though.

EDIT: As for the colors, they stay.

Oblique by itself is fine. Its a creative title alone anyway.

That is quite the unique title. You should stick with it!

[Kom]

I need to think of a catchy title for a fairly random cameo game. Any ideas, everyone?

[KKairos]

Fairly Random Cameo Game?

[Kom]

Here's a little screenshot


It looks slightly different now... No message for enemy health, and there's a particle effect added to the gore.

And on a side note: I've finally discovered my problem with making games!!! Every game I've made/tried to make has always started out as an engine, and then I?ve built the game around that. The difference in this one is that I built an engine and put it off. Then after a while I came up with an idea for a neat storyline in a game, and decided to implement the engine in the game.

The moral of the story: It's better to make games around a good idea then a good engine. So from now on, I may make engines, but I'll keep them back in my HD until I think of a neat game, and then I'll look around for the engine that would best suit that game, or just make another.

That's why this game is really fun for me to make, because I'm constantly trying to come up with interesting things all based around an interesting idea as I go, not struggling to come up with good ideas around an engine. This way my games will flow smoother, and not be as patchwork or bare.

I don't know how well I worded that, or spelled it for that matter, but I hope that you get what it means if you took the time to read it.

[Lachesis]

Mmm... that game looks minty fresh

that isn't the cameo game is it

[CJA]

Don't pass it off as a cameo game just yet!

Cameos were what people put in their games after watching Cans.

This... this is community-based character development

You haven't been long enough to make one if you ask me.

[Val]

Lookin' good, Kom!

Although you usually shouldn't ask people in the community what your project should be called, since they don't know what it's about.

You're right, Guy, but it didn't have to be anything really about the game, that's why I asked.

And I probably haven't been in the community long enough to make a real cameo game, but it kind of grew into this once I came up with a good idea.

Call it "Goshi makes shitty reviews" and you're trying to kill Goshi because he is a bitch.

Good sir, how else would one ward off Noahs?

[Kom]

I might as well post this here for the people who pay attention to see.

Attention all DMZX goers who know me,

Unfortunately, I no longer have easy internet access due to several family issues , and still, parents who are unwilling to take me to the library. I may get on once every month, but that's about it. Once scool starts up, however, I will be back. This really scks, but that doesn't mean that I will stop MZXing. I hope to return with a game or two ready for release.

Farewell for now,
Kom

EDIT: This is a nice way to leave for now, this ended up being my 150th post!

oh god =( I was wondering what happened to you!

[asiekierka]

I want to cry... i wouldn't have time for Komment Games anymore.

[Xx*SaturnineMatthias*xX]

oh =(

hmm, at least you get school internet access back in August or so...

[Kom]

Yes, August. For some reason, I do still have internet, BUT, my parent's won't let me use it for long or often. A lot of things are going on. I am still mzxing a little, but with another family member interrupting my life by living here and constantly ordering me around... I don't have much time.

[Kom]

Well, I'll add more to this journal, to keep it up to date. As for now, I've got several things going, which I'll work on once i get back home from this short vacation. But, i have no idea which i should work on: A new game with a great random level generator (much better than MZX Miner), Whatnot with it's fun gameplay, and eerie similarity to the emF series, or some other game within my things to do list, like Recollections, which SOMEONE *cough* *noah* *cough* is supposed to be helping me with. (I know you have a lot going on now, noah, but can you at least answer the question: Do you want me to finish it now, by myself, or wait for a better time when we can continue on this together?)

[Kom]

Does anyone ever read these things anyway?

I do, generally.

[asiekierka]

I do too sometimes.

[CheeZePowered]

I carry an interest in them, so yes.

[CJA]

not usually, but I read this one

[Kom]

hmm, i only expected 1 or 2 people to reply...

[NoahSoft]

kom i made the levels, what more do you want

[Kom]

I just thought that you wanted to do more than just make the levels, that's all.

[Kom]

Well, after releasing doom spire, i started about 3 small projects and then decided to just work on Whatnot some more. I worked out a few more bugs and added a bit onto one of the boards. It is, however, progressing quite slowly.

EDIT: and after reading my previous post, i remember that i've been working on Recollections, too. Unfortunately, it's not coming out too nicely... I need to attempt to add a few puzzles as well, instead of having it all be storyline and fighting.
