Teh Noob, part 2 of my development diary<br />
Hello everyone! I am Teh Noob, and welcome to part<br />
2 of my development diary!<br />
Apparently, this diary is being published in a GM<br />
Magazine! See? I've only been using GM for five minutes<br />
and already I'm famous! To celebrate, I've drawn a cool<br />
new logo for my column! I made it entirely in GM's own<br />
graphics editor - isn't it great?!? It took me five minutes<br />
- I've never spent that long on my graphics before!<br />
I must be famous - someone sent me an email about<br />
the last issue!!! After I said I was a l33t H@x0r, they<br />
wanted to know what hacking<br />
I've done! Well, one time I asked my friend what his<br />
computer password was at school, and I went onto the<br />
network and changed his desktop to a picture I'd drawn<br />
saying "I am a loser!" See? What did I tell you? Beware<br />
my digital fury!!! Anyway, remember how in the last<br />
column I said I'd have my first game finished for this<br />
issue? Well, I did it! Unfortunately, my RPG, Soul Strike:<br />
Legend of the Vengeance Demon (final title still pending),<br />
has been put on hold due to Technical Issues with the<br />
3D engine (because at the moment it still doesn't have<br />
one), but I still completed my first game! I couldn't be<br />
bothered to learn all that complicated drag-and-drop<br />
stuff (I thought GM was supposed to be easy!) so<br />
instead I based my game around one of the example<br />
games that came with GM called Click The Ball. Click<br />
The Ball isn't very good, but I did loads of work on my<br />
version and now it's almost unrecognisable! My game<br />
is called Kill The Ball. See? Completely different!!!<br />
In the original game there were these balls bouncing<br />
around and you clicked on them to make them disappear<br />
- totally lame! My game is much better. In my game<br />
there are these balls floating around and you click on<br />

them to KILL them!!! It's great, when you click on them<br />
there's blood everywhere and everything!!!! I drew all<br />
the graphics myself, except for the ones I took from the<br />
original game.<br />
Anyway, my game is so cool that I submitted it to a<br />
review website and tomorrow I'm going to email it to all<br />
the games magazines. Depending on how good they<br />
think it is, I might start charging for it as a shareware<br />
game! (Don't worry, I'll make sure I give out a secret<br />
link so all my loyal readers can download it for free!!!)<br />
Those l@amers at the GM Community are still all<br />
l@merz, though! I told them all about my game, and<br />
they were all d1ss1ng me! This one guy was like "All<br />
you did was edit the lame Click The Ball example that<br />
came with GM!" I mean, DUH! Of COURSE that's what<br />
I did! He says it like it's a bad thing!<br />
Just enough time to tell you about my next game. I've<br />
decided to scrap all those games I planned last issue<br />
- I decided there were too many 3D games around<br />
already, it's not that I couldn't program them or anything<br />
- and concentrate on something new. I want to make<br />
something original and experimental, something that<br />
will make people think "Wow, I've never seen anything<br />
like that before, and certainly not made with GM!" So<br />
I've decided to make a platform game.<br />
I know what you're thinking, and you're right to be<br />
excited!! I haven’t decided on a plot for the game yet,<br />
and I don’t have any ideas for levels or characters at<br />
the minute, but I do know one thing my game is going<br />
to have: L33TNESS!!! Believe me, this is going to be<br />
teh best GM platform game ever! Without a doubt!<br />
Nothing can prevent it!<br />
Until next time, remember: I’m GREAT!!!1!<br />
