I downloaded it and the setup won’t run. Says something about needing Microsoft.Xma.Framework first…or something like that.

What’s up with that?

Hey, Ernest…long time no hear! Glad to see you’re still alive LOL

I’m starting to get into game programming using Visual C++, was doing some research online, and found you…what are the odds?

Get in touch with me when you get this. You’ve got my email. I can’t tell if you’re still active on GameDev so I won’t email you there.

I also have a Rat Terrior. Her name is Edie. I bought her when she was 5 weeks old as a Jack Russell but later discovered she is actually a Rat Terrior. The ears gave it away. However, I still love her and wouldn’t be happy without her. She is very high strung and has a very bad time with her anal glands getting full. This leads to her growling at and chasing and biting her tail. Her tail was docked when born but I had to get it docked even shorter to prevent her from chewing it into a bloody mess. She likes nothing more than to constantly play catch. She has caught a ball and brought it back to me ever since she was just about 6 months old. Catches the ball every time! She is now 6 years old and still full of energy! I may even get another Rat Terrior as a companion for her. I just love this dog and the bread!

Any idea when you’ll have a demo of this game?

Comment on Old Articles for a New Book by John Hattan

That’s why I picked ‘em as well as a few other obsolete articles. The technology is way outta date, but the underlying concepts are still sound. I figured if they could get dusted off and updated with some new technology, they’d make for a very good “gems” style book.

At least that’s my thinking. Dunno how it’ll resonate with the readers, but we’ll see. Biggest problem I have now is that some of the authors seem to have fallen off the planet since the creation of some of the articles.

Hey Ernest, how are things going? It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you. Drop me an email when you get a chance and we can catch up and talk game development like the good ol’ days.

Comment on As Usual, I Blame John Hattan. by John Hattan

I am a bastard

Good idea, though. I think the widget is a good idea. Just post a little instruction on how to find the GUID. The Chumby twitter widget works like that.

Comment on Missed the Boat, I Think by John Hattan

I’m the arbiter of what is and is not derivative. It’s definitely more clever than CTYR. I think the motif can be extended, though. Perhaps a similarly-themed space invaders game, only with one giant unarmed invader.

IMHO, make it a tradeoff. A dilemma. You can get 100 points by pressing the “kill the boss, get 100 points and end the game” button or you can choose to attack the boss, possibly getting 101 points by defeating him manually or -1,000,000 points if the boss defeats you.

Hm. 1GB and 2 users for $2.50/month.

Or 500M and Unlimited users for $0/month.

For now, I think I’ll stick with Assembla.
