Let's Rethink Things
No website today. Why? I plan. And I plan. And I plan. And I plan some more. But I never seem to just do.
Ludexor has been an experiment of mine for a almost two months now. I wanted it to be perfect. I wanted it to be something that I could truly be proud of. Not just some small side project, but a serious effort that would be worth showing off.
I wanted things to be perfect from the start. I...
Weekly Update 6.5 And A Half: What Time Is It?
I’m going to level with you. My sleep pattern is all messed up.
To give you an idea of how messed up, this falls somewhere between when a friend managed to cook pancakes until they were jet black on the outside yet still still liquid in the center, and when that fat kid from down the street told me he chases the ice cream truck for exercise.
That said, come hell or high water, I’m...
Weekly Update 6: Now With 50% Less Useful...
The bad news is that most of what I have to say this week is useless and very uninteresting.
The good news is that I’m going to talk about it anyway.
Peppers, Garlic, Onions, and Stress
For the past week or so, my stomach has been rather significantly pissed off at me for eating foods that I really shouldn’t have eaten. At least, that is what I think the problem is. The truth of the...

Ludum Dare Results
#23 Innovation 3.76
23rd for innovation out of 720? Fairly pleased with this, actually.
#100 Community 3.18
A rating of how much you participated in the LD community. Didn’t expect this to be even this high, honestly.
#112 Graphics 3.48
Kinda surprised this one wasn’t a tad higher! There are some grapical issues though, so I’m not too shocked.
#245 Theme 2.93

Potato Bucket Progress Update 2: For Real This...
Something I have realized in considering what I should talk about today has made me notice the truly exceptional amount of commitment I make to never putting down anything on paper, rolling things around in my head until I have an extremely solid idea, and then start working from scratch, with not a single physical blueprint.
In short, that means that I will frequently be offering up little more...
Potato Bucket Progress Update
Tired from my family visit, and wondering why no one designed a keyboard that you can use your face to type with.
Ok, so I guess technically you can.

Maybe I lied.
Real update tomorrow when my brain can do that thinking thing with the words.
I Don't Know What's Wrong With You People
But after tallying up the votes from several different locations, apparently all the world ever wanted was a potato in a bucket.
I guess I’ll try to keep updates on progress to daily, or at least every other day, depending on what there is to tell.
For now though, I’m still in shock.
Weekly Update 4: Early Edition!
If there is one thing I have a new-found respect for after this week, it’s designers who can come up with good, quality game ideas. This shit is hard. I can’t even begin to explain to you just how many ideas got jot down on paper only to be furiously crumpled up and tossed in the general direction of a growing pile that I think once had a trashcan under it. At one point I considered...
