I'm also on Twitter!

Posted by mrSimon Apr. 8, 2009 @ 9:20 AM EDT

Well I have been for months and months... but for those of you who dont know.. here I am...

twitter.com/mrSimon

For those of you who dont know who I am, I used to make a few odd shorts ("The Portal" Clock crew matrix parody... "For Illwill" Neurotically Yours parody.... "Bananabeard II" and anything under the name 'Koalaclock')

Although I'm not doing much now apart from games over at work in a specific video games company I cant say.... I've been working on the past year on a point and click engine, based upon the crude "WADEANGRY" I made years ago... Its about 85% there now, and once complete, I'll be producing a full game with Munglai (Best known for 'Easy Way Out', nominated for best movie of 2008 on Newgrounds)

Griswold.. be afraid!!! Be very afraid!!!

I hope to get an engine preview complete for early Summer this year.. Follow my twitter, and maybe you can have a try sooner!..... OH FUCK IT, heres a work in progress version right about now....

Click here to try my point and click engine

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND.. I'm developing the engine only.. so graphics arnt particularly nice... I'm after functionality right now... It might be buggy too...

Haha, that's some serious stuff. The way they talk is just hilarious! Thumbs up!

Before it was Banjo Kazooie pitch-shifting... but that got way too annoying.

In the final game, I think it'll be more grunts and little noises, rather than full bits of speech like it is in this WIP version

I really need to figure out how to stop flash games slowing to a crawl after 2 minutes of playing them.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 1:05 PM mrSimon responds:

I must figure out how to code games which dont cause browsers to slow to a crawl after 2 minutes of playing them.

Hold on, I was confident this one was fine! Is it just you Wonchop yo'?

This video is not available in your country.

SWEET! I'll twitter you! now I can follow you , and read you not talk about games you cant mention in a job you won't say, and brag about flashes none of us remember!

This IS THE BEST TWITTERED EVER

Apr. 8, 2009 | 3:54 PM mrSimon responds:

If you read my post, you would have noticed that I am working on a big point and click game which I have plenty to say about.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 4:42 PM JonBro says:

What the heck is Twitter, anyway? I keep hearing about it, and I even went to the site, but have no idea what it is.

Also, epic game, with great programming. There ought to be some way to change the quality though, because it seems to lag on the computer I'm using, which is a moderately fast computer... sometimes.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 4:56 PM mrSimon responds:

I'm pretty sure that right now, its down to my code. This last month, I've been trying to get features in without really thinking about the code itself. I'm tuning the code now, and there are already a bunch of big improvements I've made. But yes, there'll definatly be a quality toggle as well.

Twitters pretty much Facebook status updates, mixed with the kind of ego trips you get with sites like Youtube and Newgrounds.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 5:20 PM Wonchop says:

Oh yeah, I'm complaining about myself. It happens with pretty much all flash games I'm playing on my laptop. Your code's fine.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 5:30 PM mrSimon responds:

Well hopefully it'll run a little better once I release the development preview on Newgrounds

Apr. 8, 2009 | 10:38 PM carbonwater says:

I should totally use that engine for when I make a game someday, since I can't code for shit.

Apr. 9, 2009 | 3:44 AM mrSimon responds:

Its not an open source engine.

Apr. 8, 2009 | 11:23 PM MrScriblam says:

oh you're doing it with munglai? awesome

Apr. 9, 2009 | 4:55 AM mrSimon responds:

He's going to be doing art, animation, story and puzzles.
I'm doing all programming!

Apr. 9, 2009 | 12:57 AM Kirbopher says:

Sweet, lookin' forward to it.

Mr who?

Never heard of him.

Um, great, yo're on twitter. I do like point 'n' click.

Hello I'm mindchamber and even though I produced only 2 solo toons after pico unloaded I am in the right position to tell everyone that they are lazy and should leave NG.

yes.

Your post about the Jerry Universe completely dissipated. Or was that another post... or am I crazy...

Either way, that Point and Click camera and code ran brilliantly on my computer. Looks good, but as you noted, rough.
