Jayenkai	Twitter, Facebook, Blog and more all seem to have stopped early November. Doesn't seem like a good sign. Any info, Kuron? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JarmarGames	Wow! Thanks guys, much appreciated. Yea, it was a little disheartening not to be able finish up my language products. I had made a lot of progress, much father along than I thought I would. Maybe at some point I can get them finished. For now, I decided to just make (and hopefully finish) some smaller arcade games. The quickest way to cross-platform was to use existing tech. I've resisted for such a long time because I am use to doing all myself. In the past months I've explored Unity, GameMaker, Construct 2, AppGameKit and others. I would start out making good progress with one, then run into an issue, switch to another, make good progress then run into an issue and reach my boiling point and just be pissed off. Then I start thinking, man I would not have these problems if it was my own tech. But the time needed to reach the levels that these exist tools already give makes you then put it all in perspective. You get an update which fixes the bug and you start off again. Until you run into another bug that halts your progress. Arrrg. And so it goes. So frustrating. But what can we do? (in the back of my mind I hear, just make your tech fool, and you wont have these problems). Yea, a year older, hopefully a year wiser too. Haha. Again, guys thanks so much. I appreciate you guys. NOTE: How do I upgrade my email address or do I have to make another account? I looked briefly but did not see a way to change? Maybe I need to look again? -=-=- Jarrod Davis Owner/Technical Director @ Jarmar Games

Jayenkai	Oddly, I just PM'd you about the email. Take a peek in your PM's. As for "choosing a language", there doesn't seem to be a perfect one, especially if you're trying to do mutliple targets. I've settled with Monkey, but that's not to say it's perfect.. Far from it.. It's missing SO many features, but those that it DOES have are good enough for me. In the world of AGameAWeek, I'm not exactly a "power" user, so the missing stuff isn't a problem, and there's a fun challenge as I try to wrangle the Monkey to do things it probably isn't set up to do!! But that's no good when you're tackling a larger lengthier project. ... The important thing, though, is sticking with a language. Jumping about, and having to keep restarting, is a pain in the arse!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JarmarGames	Yea I just saw it when the page refreshed. I replied, thanks. Oh yea, I have Monkey too. I've been able to make the most progress with GameMaker Studio. I finally was able to get the Master Collection. But... bug after bug prevented me from using the 1.2 versions. It was not until 1.3-1.4 that I could actually use the thing. I just ran into an issue the other day that I'm working through. I just installed them all and when I just need to take a break or try and idea I play with another until my mind is clear to continue. I can't tell you how frustrating and distracting it has been dealing with the bugs and issues. Stuff not getting fixed or it posted as fixed and 2-3 versions down the line a regression. Sigh. But like you said, just have grab the bull by the horns and press forward until we can see some progress. -=-=- Jarrod Davis Owner/Technical Director @ Jarmar Games

Jayenkai	Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday

JarmarGames	@Jayenkai Thanks! @Kuron How goes your GMS adventures? I'm about ready to toss mine out the window actually. Arrrrrg. I love the stability of Construct 2, I just wish I could add actually code to object vs using only the event sheet. There is an SDK that you can make your own behaviors and plugins but it would be nice to be able to attach scripts to objects too. Also I email you a few days ago, did you get it? -=-=- Jarrod Davis Owner/Technical Director @ Jarmar Games

JarmarGames	oh no worries. I understand. Since my last post I finally think I've settled on what I'm gonna try to use: 1. I would have loved to use GMS. I have MC but its just too buggy right now. 2. I love the stability of C2, but the event sheet, nice but I need to code. 3. I think I will use Unity. It now has 2D + UI. It's more of a learning curve, but I can actually write code and as my needs grow I can just take advantage of the advanced features. So for now, I guess this is the plan (until it changes, haha). Hey bro, feel better man. My sinus and head is busting too. The recent cold front and the cold/virus/flu thingy going around now. I've been sick'ish for a while. Feel better, then after a good week, it all comes back. Arrrg. -=-=- Jarrod Davis Owner/Technical Director @ Jarmar Games

steve_ancell	JamardaDigital Oh yea, I have Monkey too. Wheyhey, anohter Monkeyist! Welcome back Jarrod, happy birthday. Sorry for it being a late greeting but I was struck down with the norovirus for a couple of days and just didn't even have the strength to type.
Sun, 18 Jan 2015, 21:50
steve_ancell	Feeling a lot better now, thanks for asking.
Sun, 18 Jan 2015, 22:57
JarmarGames	@kuron Oh wow. Sorry bro. I do understand. I suffer with Asthma, so I'm constantly having to be careful or else. This Florida weather and all... can be a 70s-80s at midday and 40s by 3am, haha. Feel better bro. @steve_ancell Thanks man. Yea I got monkey sometime ago. I have pretty much all of them at this point: Monkey, Unity, Construct 2, GameMaker, Stencyl, AppGameKit, etc. Sigh. Wow, you sick too? At least I don't feel all alone. One thing for sure, I can tell I'm getting old(er). Back in the day, got sick, some days pass all good. Now, pheff... that 'ish hangs on for weeks. And dont hurt yourself. I was late one morning and spring out of bed and landing a certain way and popped my hip. Goodlordy, would you know it took about a week or so to get right again. Wow! Sigh. Any way, feel better guys and thanks again. -=-=- Jarrod Davis Owner/Technical Director @ Jarmar Games

steve_ancell	Kuron, I know how you feel with migraine. Best to rest your eyes in a very dark place, hope you feel better swiftly. Hope you feel better soon too Jarrod.

steve_ancell	Do any of you get nosebleeds when you get colds or bad headaches and migraines?, that seems to nosebleeds seem to happen to me quite often in that way.
