Dungeon of Loot – Interface V2
Mar 30th
Some screenshots of the new interface currently on my development version.
I replaced the guest access by the splash screen instead. A guest can’t do anything useful anyway and account creation is only click on Connect and then type the name of a character. Players that will access this on Facebook will only have to type [...]

I see NetHack tileset
Mar 20th
Coming in your browser when it’s done *tease*. My mindset for this one is “simple, simple, simple” so forget about animations, custom pixel art and any fancy sandbox stuff. And yes you get to level 2 by killing 10 damn rats … (click for full size)

I hate computers
Mar 20th
I really do. Just like I hate cars and think that 95% of people are not mature enough to drive one.
But in both case I need them. My need for them is greater than my hate so I guess I just have to deal with it.
What’s becoming ridiculous with computers though is that when they [...]
So you want to hire me?
Mar 16th
Or let’s pretend you do
For some time I’ve been thinking about what kind of jobs I would want to go for in the game industry. While my main motivation still remains to be my own boss one day (no need to be huge, just to pay the house and eat you know) I’m [...]
Ereptoria prologue
Mar 14th
You are dead.
Stabbed in a dark alley? Poisoned while you were eating in a tavern? Left bleeding in the street after getting robbed for a few copper coins? You don’t remember …
You’re lying in the shadows wondering what could have gone wrong, surrounded by the failure of your life.
You hear the breathing of a man [...]
What is a game review and what isn’t
Mar 13th
Short version first
This is: http://www.eldergame.com/2010/03/sto-hey-not-too-shabby/
This isn’t: url too long to post as it is
Let’s see … My first thought is that what I read on Elder Game was something I would have like to read on MMORPG.com. What I read on MMORPG.com I wouldn’t mind to read it from on some random blog.
I couldn’t care [...]
We ban evil on sight and it’s fine like this
Mar 12th
Right from the start it was clear, I wanted Golemizer to be a family friendly game.
No swearing, no racism, no sexual innuendo, no religion, no politic, … Anything that can sparks trouble. Of course eliminating the previous list doesn’t mean there won’t be any trouble but it’s a good start and it’s easy to comply [...]

Financial status, year 1
Mar 11th
I finally completed my tax calculation for the first year of operation of Machine 22. So far I didn’t really bothered to keep an eye on day to day stuff. Keep logs of everything and make sure there’s still money in the bank account was what I did.
So it goes like this:
Revenue: $1,985
Expenses: $4,456
So for [...]
