Hey, there is this game I was invited to beta test called Jumper 2. It's a platformer game made in Stencyl by someone who's username is capner, check the game out, it's fun.

EDIT: I also would like to point out that I am going to be helping the creator of Jumper 2 make a game called UTool which was inspired by my Windows Error Series. So look out for that as well.

Windows MEE Official Song.

Posted by TheMadWasp - February 9th, 2014

Okay, the song for Windows MEE Errors is going to be a song called windows 96, which you can listen to http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/119401

As far as progress goes, I have been focusing more on my portfolio for my College Interview, so I haven't been able to get much work done on Windows MEE.

That's all!

LONG UPDATE

Posted by TheMadWasp - January 31st, 2014

Windows MEE

So currently as you will probably know, I am working on the 5th "game" in the Windows Error Series. I made a blog post stating that I've began work on it, and that it's going to have 75 errors, what I can say is that I've finished the preloader and a few easter eggs, just like in Windows Vista Errors.

I think that I can get it done around late-March/Early April if I keep up my usual schedule.

Also instead of parody-ing the user, it's going to feature errors with jokes based around why Windows ME failed.

Ludum Dare 28/29

As some of you will know, I attempted to participate in the Ludum Dare 28 challenge where the theme was 'You only get one' which was a really difficult theme, luckily I knew what was going to do as I was doing the main menu of the game. I was going to do a Date "Simulator" where you only get one shot to pick the correct date, and say the perfect things, however since I only had 72 hours to do it, I knew I wasn't going to make it big. Hell, the background for the first cutscene took 15-30 minutes to draw! Anyway, point is I didn't finish the game in time, the development stage for the game got boring and I gave up, I wasn't even pleased with the way it was going.

But I plan to develop a much shorter game for Ludum Dare 29 which is coming April of this year, I AM going to participate and I WILL make something cool, it will mean a possible 3 days off making Windows MEE, but I want to make something this year, and I WILL.

What a douchebag!

Now I do have a few other ideas I want to work on like this short animation called 'What a douchebag!' which I won't spoil, this idea I had a last week while thinking to myself "No one cares" and I now want to make that thought into animated motion and sound.

Music Videos

Speaking of sound, another thing I've been wanting to do for about a year now is these music videos for songs, they will be colourful and mezmorising - I hope.

The trouble is is that I need a short song otherwise I am not going to be able to animate it, I am just far too lazy to work on something for too long with the exception of the Windows Error series, the reason I'm more motivated to do the WE Series is because I've been making one every year for the past 3 years. I am now used to that style of parody where I just enter some joke into an online error generator and Copy and Paste it into flash. But since the music video idea requires full-on animating it is going to be harder to motivate myself.

Black Circle Dude 2

For those of you who are unaware (but I did mention it quite a bit last year) Black Circle Dude was my debut or first submission that I posted onto Newgrounds, it got some mixed feedback and I promised that 2012 and 2013 would be the years that I release a sequel. It is now 2014, 3 years since I posted the first one and that sequel has still not happened. Originally it was going to be a game kinda like the Henry Stickmin series where you pick the right choice or fail trying. But I wanted a programmer to do a certain part and he never got back to me. So last year I decided to take the game idea and turn it into an animation like the original, I have only animated the beginning and nothing else, so...yeah.

But BCD 2 is on my mind, I am going to start writing a script and then plan out when I can animate it, I will hopefully get it done this year, no promises though.

TIS/prOS

Something you may not know about me is that I love learning about computers. Hardware, Software, Oddware, Freeware, Abandonware, you name it and I will want to learn about it. So 2 years ago when I learnt what an Operating System was I immediently wanted to make my own, of course it required programming which is a thing I am not good at. So I fulfilled this dream (slightly) by making an operating system in Flash, with programs and everything, and I named it "Totally Insane System" or "TIS" for short, it actually survived judgement somehow and if you look at it then you'll be suprised too.

But anyway, another thing I've been working on for the past 3 months is a book called "History of prOS and TIS" which went through the histroy of fictional hardware/software developing companies, since I wanted TIS to compete against another company, I came up with the idea of prOS or Pro OS. which is another "game" I want to develop. It will be like TIS but a bit worse, so I hope I have as much luck as I did with TIS.

Also TIS LOGGER is now going to be completely changed due to inspiration stricking and also due to the fact that the book I'm writing had to be somewhat realistic.

Hitman

Something I'll be doing on the side of all those projects is beta testing a game called Hitman which I have hardly no clue what it is. I will leave a game link to it when it's released, but I'd though I'd mention I'm beta testing it.

YouTube

As for the gaming channel, I appear to be having more fun playing games on YouTube then anything else, I will keep putting up content weekly so, yeah link below for the channel:

Music

Recently I've been listening to my old eJay songs and been thinking "Hey. That sounds alright, I want to make more of that" So I will be making more music at somepoint, I am going to order a copy of Techno eJay 5 which is one of my favourite versions of eJay and I am going to produce some techno-y tunes for your ear thingies.

In fact I made something with HipHop eJay 4 a couple of days ago: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/565378

Steam Group

Since I don't feel like I talk to you guys too much I thought I'd open up a public Steam Group so you guys can play games and chat and discuss things with me, link below and anyone can join.

Personal Life Currently

Right now in my life I am going through a lot of shit, not only am I under pressure because of my GCSE's which I'm currently revising for, but also bullying and tackling my laziness.

However I am trying my hardest to fit in space for the things I want to do, such as Flash and making YouTube videos.

But the Bullying thing, I will make a vlog on, because it is really pissing me off now.

EDIT:

Oh, after hearing my favourite YouTuber Dan Hardcastle or NerdCubed rant about Dungeon Keeper for mobile's Microtransaction bullshit, I think I'll start developing a parody game taking the mick out of Microtransactions in general.

Anyway, thanks for letting me talk to you guys, I'll see you soon.

Windows MEE in progress!

Posted by TheMadWasp - January 14th, 2014

So I've decided to start work on Windows MEE ( Milenium Error Edition ) and the first screen is good, it has a poster of a 90's game and the monitor shines.

I will be working on this a lot, I hope to finish it around the end of March/begining of April.

I will be making 75 Errors, some will be totally new, some will be old ones. I cannot wait for this!
