Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

so.... after trying to recreate tetris on game maker and getting something that at least worked. I got inspired I'll make my own puzzle battle game(Like Pokémon Puzzle league but with completely different mechanics)

@GuSilverFlame: Nice! Would you mind sharing the Tetris game with me? I'd like to have a look at it~

@Gioku you know when I said it worked? well it has the mechanics but it's impossible to control properly basically it's halfway done but I had that flash in a moment and decided to jump into the new idea ASAP

@GuSilverFlame: I'd still kinda like to see what you've got, though.

@Gioku sure! but it'll take a while the internet in my house has some terrible upload speed(and today it is acting up)
so in the last test I noticed I forgot making the new tetris pieces appear.... dhow could I make such a mistake it's like the core of the game!

So I decided to take up piano yesterday. It's going to take a lot of practice, but I'd like to do some video game covers eventually.

@GuSilverFlame: Ah... if you get it figured out let me know!

@Gioku of course you've shown me Game Maker, I want you to be the first to try my game

@GuSilverFlame: Haha! Well I'm looking forward to it.

@CapnPancakes Good luck with that I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument but I've never got round to it

and @Gioku whats Game Maker? Sounds interesting

@Nathan_Wv10: It's a really awesome program you can use to make games! I'm planning on using it to make games professionally, because it's really intuitive and I've been using it for nearly 7 years now, and it (now) has the capability to be used to create games professionally! You can check it out here.

@Gioku Thanks man, I will definitely look into it, as this is the first time I have come across this. Nice to hear that you are interested in making games, I am currently doing a Games Development Course at college but have only really looked into Flash so far. I was able to make a little collectables game for my course, which wasn't very good but it was a start We are starting to look into UDK and Blender at the moment and I will definitely take a look at this Game Maker as it sounds real interesting.

@Nathan_Wv10: yeah yeah, Game Maker is awesome! The programming language it uses is very similar to C++, so that's really helpful. You can even do a lot more with Game Maker if you know C++ - you can write DLL files that can be used as extras with Game Maker to do basically anything you want - it's really cool! I've programmed with Flash before, and IMHO, it wasn't the greatest. Sure, you can easily use vector graphics and such, but the programming language is not intuitive at all... it's just way over-complicated. But Blender is really cool! I've actually been making some prerendered graphics for Game Maker with it!

@Gioku It sounds really good and if it's easier to use than Flash I definitely will give it a try. I am struggling with blender a little at the moment but I have only been learning it in college for a few weeks. I am sure soon I will hopefully become a master at it You will have to keep me updated on any projects you work on and i hope you do one day become a success !!

@Nathan_Wv10: I've got a link in my signature you can check out to see what I've been working on (and stay updated with new things I might start in the future) if you want!
_vv

well it was really laid back day.... time to sleep, gotta wake up early and fill some more bags/boxes with my stuff for the moving day(it's in 9 days very close to christmas good time to go to a new house huh?)

@Gioku I will keep checking up on that then

Alright guys, I think I have our next official Chit-Chat contest: the Awkward Family Photos Contest!

Just head on down to awkwardfamilyphotos.com and pick out what you think is the best! Whoever finds the funniest picture wins! (keep it SFW of course, though)

Ready? Set? Go!

@Gioku But what if we have our own awkward family photos that we want to share, would that count

Also happy Saturday the 14th, on this special day, Fred Rechid goes into the dreams of Fryers and revs them up.

Also, it's snowing, here's some holiday snowing music............just cause.

@SheldonRandoms: Haha, I suppose if you really want to, lol.

Also, tomorrow I will film A Very Bumpity Christmas! I've borrowed a really creepy-looking singing Santa Claus plush toy from my Grandma to use in it - it's gonna be awesome!

Also just posted this on my channel; it was made by my friends and I thought it was amazing! have a look if you'd like~
