Futher on down

It seems that Mulitupload has also gone the way of all the other downloders. I'll try to get everything to a new home, but that probably won't be until the weekend.

Randon Thoughts,part 1

A few random thoughts and idea’s today so I thought I’d bundle them all together.

Contested Idea

As promised I’m looking to enter the next contest. At the moment I’m in the most important phase, barnstorming. I’m gathering together idea and trying to see if I have enough to write the thing.

Current my idea, and this is pushing the theme a little, is that the player has entered (with or without their permission) a contest for a massive reward. All they need to do is reach a point in a contained area, possibly an apartment block, without being transformed. The working title is The Game, and despite the obvious initials I’m thinking to keep to a Bimbofication theme.

 

Tiffies

As you may be aware Babblingfaces has done an excellent job on putting together and (hopefully) annual award, something I could get done, though I’m not bitter. I’m planning to try and do my voting this weekend, and no I’m not going to tell you what I choose (mostly because I haven’t decided yet).

The Doll and How to get Promoted, are both eligible for the votes, and whilst I’d never try to sway your opinion, if you did enjoy these games please consider them for the vote. And for balance and fairness there are a lot of other good games up for consideration.

Beta Bonus

With the contest game, if it gets written and with any game for a while I’m thinking of only offering Betas through this blog. This is as a bonus, and incentive, to keep people following me. I’m probably going to follow a convoluted route of announcing here but asking for people to apply through TFGames, mostly so I can prove who asking and everything is legit.

Back in Business

All this thinking about betas is because hopeful for the next couple of week I going to be able to do some more work on my games. The plan is to start with How to get Promoted, but if things go really well I might get some work done on other things. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to work one career at the time, a sideways builds if you will. The other option is to build all the occupations and work across.

I’m planning to try and keep you updated on some of this, but it may be a little patchy. My thinking on this is that it’s better to work on the game itself rather than spend time telling people what I’ve done.

Down, down, downloaders

Unless you've spent the last week or so living in a cave you might be aware of that Megauploads been shut down. This has caused a lot of the other sharing sites; mainly it seems the ones who offered rewards schemes, to stop other people downloading other peoples stuff. The whole thing is in a bit of a free-fall and hasn’t settled down yet.

Well that sucks!

As I'm currently using Multi, which put copies on several of the site it seems to be okay. About half the sites won't work, but that at least leaves half.

If it gets any worse I may have to look at other options, as we all may have to, to be honest I've been meaning to put most of these on the website anyhow.

And if possible try to keep the chatter about the games, not the state of the net; there seem to be enough forums for that kind of chatter. Ta

Dirty Cash

With me taking a sudden jump into the Blogosphere the question now presents itself, should I get anything from what I do?

Is it worth asking for donations?

On the downside it leads to increased pressure to provide new contents, but the money could be ploughed back into the game. Maybe stock art or even just to renew my RAGS licence. Oh and I’d never ever ask for money for a game, it’s always going to be purely voluntary.

So any thoughts, comments?

Game Theory

Let’s start with the basics what is this blog going to be all about?

Let’s start by what it’s not. It’s not going to be just a series of update posts with me telling you about how much and what I’ve updated on the various little projects that are hanging around. You see unlike some I work in a rather haphazard manner, doing a bit here and there with no concert schedule and often no idea of what I’m doing. Oh I will endeavour to provide update, it’s just they won’t necessary be the solid I’m 80% done style.

What you will get will be my normal rambling thoughts about exactly how and why I go out and create these things.
