wat

Posted by Tekkan May. 22, 2009 @ 4:53 PM EDT

hello newgrounds! it has been quite a while. sorry for not responding to any PMs for a few years (sorry there will probably be no wpnfire 2)

so I heard about this power of 3 game making event and once i find a good team I plan to be programming a game soon. If you're an artist who likes drawing aliens and robots and zombies or wants to exchange other ideas we might make a great team!

it turns out I forgot to renew my website address (tekkan.net) and it expired sometime last year. so because of this, I now have nowhere else to showcase my unfinished flash projects:

this game was going to be great. I had collaborated with this guy Skye Boyes of the website xgenstudios.com after I heard about his MMOcha multiplayer flash platform. basically I got basic multiplayer functionality to work (I would inform sniperZ and stone over MSN and we could all join the same game and shoot eachother, but that's it, I had no organized lobby system or whatever developed yet). the reason this project died was because I live in the middle of nowhere, so the only ISP that could reach my house was DirecWay (now known as HughesNet). The problem with direcGay is that although the download speed was much better than dial-up, the fastest ping I ever got was around 1500ms (usually around 1500-2500ms) because it is based on satellite. this made dealing with multiplayer lag pretty much impossible for me, and the whole project got fucked.

i've thought about picking it up again but I havent looked at it in a very long time, and the way i programmed AS2 games (code in external files, code in the timeline, code on MCs) was so outrageous that I am really not happy about the idea of converting it to AS3 or confident that relearning all my old code would be a better use of my time than starting something new again.

around the same time I had worked on THIS game and I was pretty happy with it because i figured out a good way to make really big maps. use arrow keys to move and S to jump a la fancy pants. EDIT: nvm its actually A to jump

and finally for your enjoyment heres a couple old animations not quite of flashportal caliber :
Humiliation
RHG character
stone asked me over MSN one day to make a RHG character (his superpower is his giant hammer, obviously) and so this was the basis of my character in my gladiator battle vs stone.

Hey man, it's me Winter (musician for wpnFire) and I'd love to work on some tracks for you as your musician regardless of whoever you choose as your artist if you choose me. Working back in '06 for wpnFire was tons of fun and I'd love to do it again. Oh, and those short animations look great
Drop me a PM whether you choose to have me in your team or not.

Nice to see you're still alive. Don't die again. haha
