…today is the day…

So I’m totally over-due on a new blerg post and today is a reasonable marker. I’m energized to play the game at a point where, at times, it’s difficult to control myself…just jittering there…JITTERING… Anyways, with Halo Reach, it was way out of my spectrum of alocated work time to actually finish most of my level projects, and many of the game-mode creation tools were rather downsized in their options and over-all versatility; and seeing that Halo 4 has essentially the same style of Forge-World, I’m skeptical as to whether or not I’ll have the tools I need to make all the sweet game-modes I made for Halo 3 - and more… Hopefully, this is the case so I can make all the awesome levels I dreamed of making (and all the game-modes that didn’t even function properly) in Halo Reach and couldn’t because of the debilitating restrictions and cut-backs on options.

As for the campaign…I am a big fan of the series and the surge I get from hearing even the main theme truly makes me ecstatic: I proceed to become radioactive and the vibe of my energy proceeds to kill all in the vicinity that dare get too close to ruin my gaming experience. All aside, I can’t wait for the storymode - given I have not watched any trailers (but the E3 - which doesn’t show much more than the end of Halo 3) and have very little knowledge as to what adventure I’m about to embark on.

…I will be back with more news…

The Official Mojang Scrolls Logo

The 3-Player Map I designed for Scrolls

I’ve been somewhat involved recently on ScrollsFans.com - the official Scrolls Forum. [For those of you who are unfamiliar with Scrolls, it is essentially a digital CCG (Collectible-Card-Game) by Mojang with an arena or map on which scrolls (cards) are cast/placed. There, I go by the same name.] A lot of people have been raving over the idea of co-operative game-play such as @v@ or just about any sort game-mode that features more than @ players. Mojang (the Scrolls Team, at least) and many of the ‘forum-ers’ have been trying to configure a @+ player game-mode fro Scrolls that doesn’t require a whole new game (in terms of ‘scrolls’ and other mechanics/dev.-time).

But I began thinking of my own solution to the problem, because there was one minor problem…very minor. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE AN UNCHANGING TERRAIN/GRID/MAP THAT SUPPORTS ANYTHING BUT !, @, #, or ^ SECTORS ON A HEX-GRID! …again - very minor problem. Well, today I wrote a post in response to this thread showing why:

“As possible it is to come up with things like 4-player chess and other things for grid-based games, there is one fundamental aspect that must be kept in mind: grid based games can only be symmetrically and geographically mapped to fit a number of sectors based of the shape’s tessellation (grid-work pattern), being either any factor or multiple of the shape. For square grids, you can only equally distribute 1, 2, or 4 sectors; past that, only multiples of 4 (8,12,16,20…). But in the case of a hex-grid, you can only distribute 1, 2, 3, or 6 - and any multiples of 6 from here on. Notice the four IS NOT THERE. Being absent, it’s quite impossible to do so: set up four players/sides equally. And, even if the map is asymmetrical, there is no way (without having a morphing map) to make a heavily grid-aligned game support 4 balanced teams.”

[And that’s why.] So I proposed making a #-Player map in which everybody’s happy because the dev-team doesn’t have to spend much time programming such a thing, and people can now play a balanced, fun version of Scrolls that supports more than @ players.

I am currently in the process of starting my own thread in which I will feature the picture (which was quite annoying to make - might I add. T_T ) above and explain all the systems behind it. In reality, i am just writing this post so as to have a link for the picture that I can refer to… (I’m so lazy right now…) when writing the post on the Scrolls Forums

For the complete explanation, you can read it here - after six long hours of contemplation and writing.

Haha…sorry for the delayed blog posts, I’ve been under the weather lately… Though I have some VERY exciting news coming up, but I haven’t exactly decided whether to unveil them…

Also, last night was quite a storm - tornado watches, blackouts and all! Well, my area was ENTIRELY untouched with no outages or obvious damage, but the rest of the city wasn’t so fine…but work got cancelled! :D O Happy Days…still sick, though. Anyways, more activity on this blog soon…and some real business, too! >:D I also have some Minecraft Mini-games and Meta-Games I’m going to unveil, complete with NAMES [lol], full rules (most likely) and pics to fatten things up.

Well, all other things aside, I wish everyone a Happy Mother’s day, cause remember, “Mother’s Day is when you wear clothes you don’t like to wear” - or something like that from a commercial I saw today…

So…I’m bored, busy, and excited for Minecon....

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:50:14 -0600

So…I’m bored, busy, and excited for Minecon. I’ll be leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning…fun. I AM really excited to show off my finally fixed Creeper with Mask Skin where a creeper wears a obvious mask with Steve’s face on it. Well, anyways, I have held out on not downloading any of the 1.9 Pre-Releases and plan on doing so sometime before Minecraft officially exists Beta. I plan to update a pre-1.8 world with 1.8 terrain, followed by 1.9 Pre-Release world generator, followed by the newly polished one coming out in…28 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I will essentially have 3+ eras of world terrain generation in the map and I wish I could encourage others to also…but I have but one follower at the original writing of this post: Tomono! :D (Thanks Tomono!)

Anyways, tomorrow morning I head to my local airport to hit the ‘road’, lol. Wish me luck! :D (I wish I would have signed up for one of the discussion panels…)

The Counter-Logic Government Presidents!

Back cover to Ronald Jenkees 1st album.

Sadly…this past week, I have spent well over 10 hours working on one small aspect of the adventure map, and it is one not entirely important to the system of the monster-slayer map. It was a timed-lava-curtain-thing that would be used more for unlocking new areas of the map thing rather than a prime aspect. At least in this long time of experimenting with friends on my construction server, I have come upon even more ideas for a linear adventure map in which players take on an assortment of challenges (all of which are original to my knowledge-I have never played an adventure map and still, as of now, ave no idea what Adventure Craft is…though it’d be helpful). It deals with players entering 3D puzzles and fighting off monsters or time with a special objective in mind…as well as some fun mini-games. At the end there would be a very fun, fun reward… …. :D *troll face*

As for the picture above… last night (midnight this morning) me and some of my friends were messing around, playing some Bleague of Blegends. We made some new accounts under the group name the Counter-Logic Government or the “CLG Presidents”. I was pretty fun chatting with people on the chat rooms and inviting them to games…to *TROLL CON EL PRESIDENTES!* (*Spanish*) Hopefully we don’t get banned and we definitely aren’t calling ourselves Counter-Logic Gaming…we’re just…trolling…”It’s for fun.” As of now, we have 5 members, but we are not a clan, more of a group of friends having fun. I can truthfully say I came up with the idea (stealing credit from TOTALLY “enrages” me! lol?). The idea originally started when I was like, “Wouldn’t it be funny if it was like ‘OBAMA CARE HAS SCORED AN ACE!’?” But sadly, we were not allowed to use Obama as a summoner name. So I was like, “I’ll be CLG Taft and use Gragas!” (Not to hate on him.)

So…for anyone who likes some Electronica (second album) or “re-dubbed Classical” (first album), there is this guy named Ronald Jenkees…and he just recently moved his old website to Bandcamp (if you follow me on Twitter). Sadly, because of this, the comments are amiss and the totally nnrsnm song previews he had are now gone. However, these ma be released soon with the new album, temporarily named, RJCD! He is an excellent pianist and deserves the world’s worth in recognition. He doesn’t sample (with the exception of two remixes: Rocky and Canon-in-D) and works alone. He has done only two collaboration songs and is a true phenomena. Best yet, is he is an ordinary person, not yet to absolute fame, though deserving, and as is exhibited in his ______ly quirky, hilarious, awesome You-Tube videos, is a man of real personality, unique and respectful ;D He even does rap! (4 songs; I’m hoping for two more in RJCD3!!) About his rap: (he has a thick Kentucky accent) isn’t the best rapper, but singing with him (!FUN.FUN!) is more realistic and an absolute treat. His rap is uplifting and a ridiculous amount of fun. Additionally, just watching him play on You-Tube is fun! The energy he has just transfers to you through the music. (I am listenning to him right now! :D ) Anyways, he is a magical person with magical music and totally non-redundant music! He plays with no objective but fun; and trust me, he, I, and his fans, have REAL FUN!

I will be working more on my project yet do not completely sure I can finish by my dead-line…Minecon. (I wil be working on the linear one instead.) Well, to let everyone know, I am also a fan of Halo, and sometime by Christmas, plan to release some of my awesome game modes and maps for 3 and REACH.
