Still alive! Major Blog Update

Good Evening Dear Bloggers!
If you like to read you won't have problems in checking out this post, if you don't well, let's just say that this post will be rather big.


Dearest Bloggers as you might have noticed I have failed to post both on Saturday and Sunday.

So I would like to state a few things. I know I've said in my msn account that the Blog is Updated Every day but unfortunately that is impossible to me. First because I'm extremely busy all of the time: school, guitar, drawing, games, stories and other I don't remember right now. And second, because I have a very laid back personality that prevents me from complying with deadlines, compromises etc.
So, the blog's motto "Updated Everyday" is now "Updated Almost Everyday" just check every two days or so for new content. That's the first thing I wanted to talk about.


Secondly I would like to correct myself in my previous post where I said Minecraft hadn't come out and Mojang had failed to deliver. Ironically the full release came very shortly after I posted it -.-
Some of you may ask: "Why didn't you post anything on the weekend Ryuuji?" 

1. Because Minecraft.
2. Because Skyrim.
3. Because Yes.

In that order (I know the sentences have sintax mistakes, don't you worry about it), but, to explain it better:

I was the whole Saturday playing Minecraft Online.

I was the whole Sunday playing Skyrim.

It was 23:45 when I stopped playing on Sunday and I didn't feel like posting; so yes in that order.

That's all for explanations and corrections. 

I have finally updated the Tales and Romances Section which will contain all my stories and poems, if I can find them all that is. I will create a download link with which you will be able to download them in the near future. I'm thinking of making my stories on Word, or rather make them available to the public via Word Documents, however if you, dear bloggers, prefer something else like PDF or so, please inform me.

Currently, the only available literature works I have created are "Unlimited English Works" and a small preview of "Doomsday"; for more info check the Tales and Romances Section.

Now, Gamez Update;

I'm still working on Trust 0.3, don't you worry, I intend to add more than just a single room like I did with 0.2, as well as develop the story a little more.

As for "Unnamed Text Game", I've gotten a whole lot of new ideas for it by playing "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim". Right now my main preoccupation is working on the code to get a few things working right and then I'll work the plot/story.

Also, if you have any suggestions for "Unnamed Text Game" especially a name for it, please inform me. All of this and more additional info on the GameZ & Updates Page.

Finally, I've decided to upload all my drawings on the blog so, I'm going to create the Drawings Section pretty soon. Also by suggestion of a dear fan, I'll make them available in DeviantArt as well.

Actually I forgot something: I'm still waiting on the reference of the sentences:

Bless your face! If you sneezed while reading this bless you!

It's been more that a week or so since I made this challenge and I have a lot more in mind to make, so:

If Nobody Gets It Right Until Saturday Caturday, I'll move on by giving the answer and creating a new challenge...oh and I'll eat the cake too >:D

That is all for today; see you in the next update and...comment away!

Broken Promises...and Dragon towards Skyrim

Good evening dear bloggers. Today is Friday, and that means that today is casual Friday :O


First of all, regarding "Trust" there has a bug that prevented people from exiting the game :P
So, young and so full of bugs! This has been corrected and I've added a new object in the final room. It's a big golden cross; touch it to exit the game. I've already uploaded the fixed version on MediaFire.


As for the Stories Section, I'm creating it today, but I'll only post some actual content tomorrow. I'm making this post at nearly midnight and I'm really tired @_@
I have done a lot of things that kept me busy today:


I was pissed off at the fact that were already at 18 of November and there's still no Minecraft final release!

Oh God please let it come!!!

There are over a million fans impatient for it!

Still there's more about Minecraft. Xico and his wonderful server have provided me, along with several of my friends, the best fun I've ever had at Minecraft.

Here's some screen shots of our hours of fun:

-click to enlarge them-

My house :D

Xico's House :O

From left to right: Dreekun, Xico and Vita

Anyway;

I've started to play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

And I've got to say it's bloody awesome! Truly, it is absolutely fantastic, no wonder it surpassed Portal 2. If you played Portal 2, then you know that surpassing is a very hard feat to accomplish :O

Well that's all for today, I'm really sleepy so sometime by tomorrow I'll definetly add content to the Stories and maybe work on "Trust" v0.3.

See you in the next update!

Trusting the Beta Servers

Good evening dearest bloggers!
It's Tuesday today and the weekend seems so far away...still;


I've got some good news! The game "Trust" is going faster than I had anticipated! So I think that now I can say almost with perfect confidence that is will be ready in less than one month. No promises though :P


I have created an account at Media Fire. I have placed a folder called Ryuu-Base which you can all access here; inside you'll find another folder called Gamez and inside it you'll find trust v.0.1. I've also added an alternative mirror on Megaupload here(not anymore, I don't like magaupload's uploading system9.


Here's a screenshot of the current game:

Trust v.0.1.

Before you start making fun of the game, please remember that it's still vanilla and quite experimental. I will update future versions of the game when they are ready to be published.
Also, for your convenience, I will post the link in the Gamez and Updates Section.


I have another thing to tell you about!
I just keep finding the wonders of online playing.
Today I've joined (for the first time) a Beta version online game of Minecraft 1.9 pre2. A thousand thanks to Xico who created the server :3
I don't think I've had so much fun at it :D

The Pigs are ESCAPING!!!

Finally, I think that in two three days I might have enough material to open up the Stories Section (are you fucking kidding me, more bloody text??!!), so if all goes well, you should have a nice section with all my stories pretty soon.


One more thing actually: Still waiting for the answer on the second challenge; for more info check the post "Challenges and Rewards". Remember bloggers, the winner gets cake.


Now if you excuse me, I have an English Listening Presentation to make for tomorrow morning :)
See you in the next update!

Call to Arms

Good evening dear bloggers and bloggetes!
Today is Monday, worst day of the week if you ask me, but I guess that I only think that way because I stay until very late on Sunday and then getting out of bed in the next morning gets a 500% difficulty increase...but enough about that!


Today I have several updates to report, one of them is that I just noticed that in previous posts I'm putting Minecraft content before my own (I know wtf right?) Well never again, unless I distract myself which can occur quite often.


Moving on; there's a brand new page on the blog called Gamez & Updates, so go check it out! It has (like the name Implies) all currently available information on the games I'm developing. I will also create a Stories Section in the future and maybe a Minecraft's Creations page as well...and maybe a Drawings page too while I'm at it. So much to do and so little time! And before you ask, yes, I do know that Gamez is written with an "s" and not a "z", I did it on purpose. 


Now, allow me to explain the name of the post:
I've just got myself a helping hand!
Tiago's Soul has (been forced under death threat) volunteered to join me in my game making and he's helping me with "Unnamed Text Game", and so can you! In order to check what you can do to help -yes I still have faith in humanity, if I didn't I wouldn't be making such requests- just go to the Gamez and Updates page.


And there that's all for the actual page updates, now let's have a look at Minecratf shall we? :D

Beautiful Snow!

It's snowing! I had never seen it before so it was like :O

Chickens, Chickens everywhere!

I got a nice chicken coop installed on my house now :)

I don't have much else to show about Minecraft, but I have a few to talk about:

1. If you would like to send your creations via screen shots go ahead, I'll post them in this blog, they will be moved to the future Minecraft Section
2. I have been making some experiments with Fraps, and I've recorded a video that shows me playing; Fraps is indeed awesome, just one problem, it creates ginormous files! A 25 min long video is sized up to 3.20 GB!!! So! If you know of a good video compressor/converter, let me know and I'll begin adding videos too.

Also; if you would like to see something specific other than the ones I usually post about...like anime (crap I'm forgetting about the anime), please inform me. Oh, by suggestion of Tiago's Soul I'll be implementing debates and stuff like that, once more to increase user interactivity.

And that's everything I guess;

See you in the next update!

Thunders and Snowmen

Good afternoon dear bloggers!

It's (sundae) Sunday today! The day of the Lord (Amen), and the day of the family!
I was going to place a picture of God in here but I don't want to offend any believers/non-believers.


...


Who am I kidding?!

So there you go!

Ok, let's get back to the post.


There's a thunderstorm outside, and although the risk of my computer going haywire because of the storm is rather big, my passion for this blog is greater!


I'm sure you all remember my little house (if you don't, check the previous post), well it's gotten a lot "snowier" and it's got a watch guard now too! :D
Check'em out!

My loyal snowmen nº1 :Alpha

Yep, it's a walking snowmen, that throws snowball nonstop!

I also took the liberty of creating a partner for him, as well as a small watch tower >:D

Alpha and Beta ready for battle!
Alpha standing by!
Beta standing by on sniping position!

Their attack isn't very useful (snowballs are completely harmless), but they keep the enemies at bay, and allow me to go behind them and slash away with my sword, AND they're very good at luring enemies right into my traps!

Also they add a nice touch to the tundra biome I'm in.

But enough about "Minecraft"!

Let's talk about the games I'm developing :)

As for "Unnamed Text Game", it's my main project; it's being coded on TADS 3

and as of now: 

I've done the basic sketch of it, I've got my base plot and characters nailed down and I've got the first "room game" ready. It isn't going any faster, because TADS does a superb work at frustrating my coding attempts every-time it gets a chance to.

The game is about a young boy from our planet who gets sent into a world of magic through a magical portal... Yes it's cliche, but then again, so are much of the games and movies nowadays.

This will be a large-scale project starting with just text output and text input options/choices, and then will be ported along with my drawings into the actual game, as an RPG.

Also there's "Trust"; it's a small graphical game in it's early stages programmed with Game Maker 8.1, and it will be exactly about what the tittle says. The game's motto is: "How much can you trust the very game you're playing?"

It's still very experimental, and I'm still in a phase of drawing sprites and defining the objects of the game.

But if all goes well, it should be ready in less than a month.

I said "should be ready in less than a month" because:

1. It can be ready in just two weeks or so;
2. I'm a very lazy person, so I rather not promise anything;
3. A lot of things can go wrong;
4. A lot of things may go better that expected.

As for my stories, I'm still in the process of...well...finding the missing papers around the house! As well as copying everything from those papers and my cellphone text files into word documents on my computer. This time however I made sure to create a folder just for them so not to lose them again in the middle of hundreds of files xD

And that's pretty much it...just one more thing actually:

I'm still waiting for the answer on the reference of the poem 

"Unlimited English Works" - more info on the "Introducing Ryuu-base" post.


Remember bloggers: the winner gets a cookie!
Just please, if you do know the answer, identify yourself along with the response,
other-wise NO cookie for you! >:3

And now, yes, that's all :)

See you in the next update >:D

Broken Promises

Good Morning dear bloggers!

It's Caturday today!!! >:3

If you don't know this meme (you fail at life), you can check it right here.
Ok, moving on now.

This post will be a continuation of what I started yesterday, simply because it was kind of late, and I didn't say everything I wanted to.

Ah yesterday was truly a great day!

A lot of games were released such as:

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim";

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3";

"L.A. Noire";

As well as the final and much anticipated version of "Minecraft"...

NOT!

Unfortunately dear readers, the final version for "Minecraft" got a 7 days adjournment, meaning that it will only come out on 18 of November. 

As a consolation, so to speak, the pre-release nº.6 of version 1.9 was released

instead.

"Minecraft" full version was supposed to have been released yesterday, hence this

post's name. Still, I'm already testing the 1.9 pre6 and I can definitely vouch for it!

Here are some screenshots:

My little home

My little (hole in the dirt) home! I've made a new game to see pre 6 features and it's going pretty well, for now at least.
You can check out all the new features of 1.9. pre6 right here.
Also I've found coal right inside my home :D lucky!

I dub thee, snowy pig land!

This is how the landscape in front of my home looks like.

As you can see, I'm trapped in a realm of snow...and pigs, lots of pigs @_@

Well at least I won't starve.

Posting these, has made me though of another thing to add to this blog, which

will be my "Minecraft" creations xD, but more of that later.

Oh yeah,about the releases, there was also some (awesome) mediocre blog that

was created that day, whose name I've forgotten. 

Something ending in case, maze?...nope, I can't recall.

Anyway, yesterday was also the first time I entered a "CoD: World at War" LAN

game. I have to admit it was very fun :D

Apart from the immense LAG - so bad that I would shoot a zombie with a shotgun

in the head, and next thing I know, he's behind me ripping my head off - 

and the fact that I died...what? 15 times? Oh well.

I would also like to apologize to my team-mates who got into a horrifying, electric

gruesome death, because of me...


Oh well! Since now I've run of thing to say:

See you in the next update!
