yeah him among a few other indie devs were featured in the pitch video

it's just android OS? I have some projects brewing with a programmer I've recently teamed up with, and android games where a discussed possibility, and already mentioned the OUYA to him and he seemed excitable at the prospect, let's see what happens 


btw welcome back from your hiatus

Medieval hack & slash + eSports?

This looks cool in a never-have-intercourse-again sort of way.

Atnas: I've got plans to release games to the Ouya if it does get created! Project Entropy and Deadbird would be awesome on a huge television screen :] Have to make them first though x[

I think it'd be cool to have a thread that discusses "your favorite pixel art video game graphics" and let the person go into detail on why it is their favorite pixel graphics.  And a nice way to find some eye candy and inspiration

I think they're already doing this here:

Well it used to be, CC's are pretty far and few these days.

Friend's idea has me thinking. We already have a topic to share older pixelart and a creativity thread. How about a thread to post our own old (i.e, early/beginner level) work? I could even see editing our old work or each other's to gauge our progress. In addition to the fun factor, it could serve as a confidence booster, both for people who are just starting out ("if so-and-so started out so crappy there's hope for me, too!") and for more experienced people who feel they may be stagnant.

Plus, it could be a good laugh! I have stuff going back to at least 2003.

[Friend]

:O That sounds like a thread full of win!    

Plus, newbies like me could work on editing the old works, and would be great practice for those that are a bit afraid to start new things on their own due to low confidence

Today's the day I'm going on a walk with the person of my dreams. I couldn't get any sleep and I feel like throwing up my breakfast and lunch and can't breathe. This is like a GIANT step for me. It may go ok, it probably won't, but at the end of the day, it will be memorable and I'll be proud of myself for not copping out.

Just 30 minutes away...

Relax!
You'll know that it's solid if it goes TERRIBLE and still works out.
Just live in the present and have fun with what it is.
Best of luck!

In my personal news:
I've been very sick for 2 months and counting.
EXTREME constant pain.
Unable to work.
My posts and edits as of late are slowly completed between waves of hours of pain.
Also the main reason why most of the of text I write is down to 2 or 3 sentences.
Seen many doctors.
Did many tests.
Took many drugs.
They couldn't figure anything out.
So finally I flew out of state to see a doctor my parents recommended.
He's good.
I've been diagnosed, correctly I think, with Cluster Headaches.

"Cluster headache is a condition that involves, as its most prominent feature, an immense degree of pain (doctors and scientists consider it the most intense pain a human can endure without passing out, worse than burns, broken bones or child birth)"

The good news is that it's treatable, and after 1 day of my new meds I'm feeling the best I have in months --> after initial woozyness of each dose.
Hopefully I'll recover quickly and be back to normal.
