Performance Update


As some of you may know, I spent all of 2016 and most of 2017 being a sort of hermit, making my own technological breakthroughs and discoveries in the art of game programming. Most of these breakthroughs have accumulated into The Temple of Max.

Anyways, my first games that used a form of graphics beyond ascii had horrible flickering issues and was overall just choppy and primitive. I was bored today, and these issues have been bothering me for the past year. All it took was a few simple lines of code, and the results are astounding when compared to the original launch version. In my opinion, this new version is the definitive version of Lasers of Mars. I’ve also given this treatment to Quadrilateral Drive, in case anyone was wondering.

That’s about all I have to say. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the fixes!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

What you all think

a drawing I did because I was bored😪. But I love how it turned out.😊

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

blender animation experimentation, getting the hang of things fast. arms, rig, & gun models by me ofc

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
