I love to create my own original characters and worlds, and to program and develop my own games to tell the stories based around them. Art and Math are my saviours.

I do not produce work for anyone other than myself, that way if no one ever cares for my projects, I'll still be happy. It may seem selfish, but it's the truth.

My characters and worlds are very important and personal, and creating games to me is a fine art rather than a commercial art. I do not want my worlds or characters to ever sell, because I don't want them to become mere products that the corperate world abuses to make money.

Hours were cut again; I haven't worked for 3 straight weeks. While I will admit that the time off is nice, my wallet grows more and more narrow everyday, especially with school's constant supply needs and car payments (which, I will be honest, isn't horrible, but not that great either). I find it funny that the company I work for was the second highest grossing company in the whole country throughout the previous holiday season, and they still treat us like crap and cut our hours. But... oh well, I guess I can't really do much about it.

I've been feeling rather bitter and grumpy the past couple of days. I'm unsure why, but I'm actually rather enjoying it... Strange, huh? -laugh- And speaking of bitter, yesterday I was driving home after visiting my old town. While driving, I noticed a woman walking on the side of the road, and after looking closer, I noticed that she was screaming at all of the traffic. As I was passing her, we exchanged a glance, and she flipped me the bird. It easily made my week, and the entire drive home I was just laughing hysterically because, as frigging insane as she was, I can understand how she feels -laugh-

Other than that, I got hooked on another anime series called "Shuffle!" I really don't feel like explaining what it's about, but I find it very relaxing, and the female protagonists are all so sweet. Although if I was in Rin's place, I might have to go with either Kaede or Sia, personally -laugh- Although I hated how the second half of the series turned out to be dramatic and emo, I still find the first half of it really cute and funny. Check it out if you secretly like romantic lovey dovey cute stuff like me.

for the coins,
onClipEvent (load) {
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player.hitTest(this)) {
_root.score++;
gotoAndPlay(Gotten);
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
sound.attachSound("coin");
sound.start(0, 0);
removeMovieClip(this);
}
}

for some reason, they want to be collected in order, the order of which I placed them..

Sorry if I'm a bother man

Is there anyway to make a MC control the main timeline

I believe I asked this before at some point but I can't remember.
All I want is for when the Health MC ends, for it to go to the next scene, to the point where you only have 2 lives instead of three.

Hey Alfredo, I finally got the basic AI down, to the point where
Stands, Walks, Attacks, depending on the distance of the player from the enemy!

I have one question, How did you program the attack for the player
In other words, the hit detection for the enemy


Also, do you know anything about combos using the same key?

Such as that game has

If not, do not worry about it :)

Hm, nice art. c: The characters are very appealing, and all have very unique designs. I like them alot.

However, what really made me want to write this comment was that I noticed you were very close to your characters. It's charming, and also good to know that you have that kind of bond. C:
