Shea: Thanks for taking all the effort to put this together. That seems like an easy mistake to make, so I certainly can't blame you. I'll be purchasing a copy of the book regardless, so do what you think is best.

As you saw, Puzzle Mode is incomplete. I plan to double the number of levels and give it a slightly more appropriate ending. The block stacking bug is pretty funny -- it never occurred to me to try to stack up at the start of casual mode. I wonder if I should give it a proper fix or put an Easter e...

Cool! It was fun to look at! TMC covered most of the complaints I had. There are lots of excessive commas! I also think that the title logo is difficult to read. Jherin Miller's inspiration list is also improperly punctuated. It should be a big list separated by commas. Instead, there is a period in...

Sometime this year. Everything TSABBG should have been but wasn't. 14 enemy types all of which can be turned on and off in the options menu. Adjust player speed, enemy speed, spawn rate. Basically anything that can be an option is. Fine tune the options for hundreds of different game types. Almost ...

You should play DUNGEONMEN: Men of Dungeons if you haven't already. I completed 3 dungeons of Dungeonmen but quit. It did not seem quite as polished as I would like and the difficult curve was inconsistent. However, now that I am thinking about it, I realize that I was fool. Dungeonmen is awesome. ...

Powerstick Man! Seriously, if this game ever gets done, it will be competition for OHR's greatest masterpiece. That's not just hyperbole either. Which reminds me, I need to get back to bug testing it... Pepsi, I'm really going to try to play this week. I've just be slammed with other projects. It's ...

Yeah that would be great. How about I get back to you if I'm short on art toward the end of the project, if so then I'll add them in. I won't know for sure if I'll need them until all the art is in from all contributors, but I do have a feeling I may need to do so. I'm willing to contribute more if...

Same here. I'm glad it wasn't a tie, so Shea doesn't have to waste time with a second poll.

I've submitted my artwork already and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone else's.

So how do we choose? A vote is a good idea, but probably not enough people are going to vote to make it worthwhile. For the record, my two favorites are "Through Rectangular Eyes" and "Zones of the Pixel Frontier". I also think "Hot Dots" would be awesome, but it is ver...

I have 4 out of 5 images done. I'd prefer not to share them since seeing them all together will give them some context.

How is everyone else doing? Is anyone making progress?

I think randomization is over used, especially in terms of maps. While randomized maps may support replayability, it also strips a lot of incentive to explore. For example, imagine you are in random Minecraft map with a tremendously huge mountain. There is little incentive to climb to the very top o...

Another thing I'm going to try is budgeting a certain amount of hours per week to work on the game I'll be doing for HOTOHR. That way I can tell myself "you need to work on the game for 5 hours each weekend day, and 5 hours total during the week, for a total of 15 hours per week" and crac...

Ramble Planet now has the FAQ on Gamefaqs. I helped the person write it. I think we'll be updating again soon.
