A.k.a – Also known as “Hurrah!, I finished a project”

The running man is a creation of my very own fingers. Basically, it’s a TCP/IP multiplayer game where you button bash S and D as fast as you can whilst occasionally pressing C to jump the hurdles.

Download it here – If you don’t know what a .rar file is then sorry…. Make sure you extract the game into a folder, (it will not run from inside the zip)

Some notes

You Must Create A Server even if you want to play on your own, you must run the Server.exe first, then run the client_rm.exe

When using the client_rm.exe – you must create a new account for the first time then log in.

I’ll fix all these one day, but not yet… For now, just enjoy the greatness that is the love of my loins and try and beat my astonishing personal best time of 19.34 (this isn’t really my best, but I’ll put it here just in case anyone plays the game and beats it)

If someone wants to host an online game – let us know and I’ll join in… :)

As I mentioned earlier, I have a tendency to not finish projects that I start…

Well, I’ve decided to continue to work on a project that I’ve always wanted to do… A proper remake of a classic game that I dearly love called “Mortville Manor”

My plan is to basically re-invent the game, with graphical ‘tweaks’ and a radical overhaul of the user interface (which, granted, was pretty awful) – I plan to make the game fairly extensible too so that I can easily implement a “new” adventure mode for people who have maybe already completed the original.

Here’s an example of the screenshots that I’m very basically tweaking. I plan on introducing a more diverse colour pallette, but not just yet.

Obviously, you’ll have to look pretty close to see the difference currently, (I’ve basically interpolated the image, I’m pretty sure there are game’ing filters that could easily do it for me too, but hey) – I want to remain true to the original for now and then extend it eventually.

I’ve also uploaded a very simple tech-demo of the snow.. I was bored, if you press Left and Right on the keyboard, you’ll go to another room (and a different snow effect) – I was just playing, but hey…
