Pimp my Blog - Ninja Style

Its all about the stylesheets..

Yes I’ve started redoing the sites theme at last, as mentioned previously it was just too plain jane for me, so I’ve given it some colour and added some basic stylesheet spice to the site, though the theme is only in its early stages, expect a bit more as time goes on. Also some of the pages will look a bit wierd, i’ve really only concentrated on the main page.

I get bored very quickly these days though and unless I am 100% committed I find my attention wandering off, this is where I find strange little gems like Ask a Ninja hidden on the internet.

Ugly duck

This site’s theme is really annoying me. It’s a nice clean theme, but i feel like its too sterile for me, I need to personalise it, so the next couple of days i’m going to be ripping it apart and changing it, if I leave it how it is at the moment i think I’m not gonna want to post anything on it. and that would just bee too sad.

OROW

I’ve wanted to code a game for AGS for quite some time now, i’ve been following it for quite a few years, over the different incarntations of the engine and though I have started many games for it and learnt to code in it very well , I have never released a proper game in it, only a bunch of demo games that never came to pass, instead i helped the AGS community a lot by making a bunch of tutorials, some code snippets here and there, some joint game ventured with m0ds and progzMax, and an Irc quote database site taken over from teh annie ._. , so I thought I would enter one of the competitions to get me back in the swing of things.

OROW is a competition , it stands for One Room One Week, the point is to create a very small one room game in one week, however its already started and I havnt. But not to worry I’m starting something tonight, and though i’m pretty sure it won’t win it will still let me get used to the updated version of AGS.

And for any of you that are not familier with Ags and love to play adventure games, head on over there now! There are an absolute ton of adventure games readily available for download, some of which are at commercial standard and have an outstanding amount of sweat and blood poured into creating them.

A good example of a OROW game is Automation made by Mr Colossal, and is a sparkly little gem and for me it definatly sets a standard of a OROW game, not that I’ve even looked at any of the other games, though I am looking forward to Monday 29th when the competition ends and I get to play a whole bunch of new short adventure games.

What lies in the shadows…

Well I know i’m just not going to have much time to set up my site, at least not in the short term, so I figured i’d get a blog up and running on it, at least then it’s quick and easy for me to post some stuff, and not have the domain name just rotting away.

So what have I been up to all this time? Well working mainly, but like much harder than last year, and feeling all the better for it, right now i’m trying to find a suitable theme for this blog but there just arn’t any out there that I like, so I find myself going under the hood of WordPress and designing my own theme, so if your seeing the page go mental from style to style, thats probably just me editing the live site ;) (who needs a dev site)

 Also at the moment I’m trying to squeeze in the time to participate in the AGS One Room One Week competition the currently are running, though i still havn’t come up with an idea.

 Ok that’s it folks, expect the next entry … er.. sometime.
