Not sure, but I think we're doing something with xbox's

!  That sounds pretty awesome!  Be sure to let us know how it goes.

It's the first time she's (my professor) is doing this, so we'll see how it goes. (Personally, I'd rather stick to the PC cause I have very little to do with consoles) But, yeah, sure.

ooooo *is very intrigued*

[dark-daventry]

I loved the entry (even though I can't read code lol) and I updated the facebook group with the link to it! I can't wait for the next entry!!!!!!

[snabbott]

No spoilers this time?

[Yonkey]

Nah.  Revealing the scripting behind a never-before-seen puzzle would just ruin it entirely. 

[dark-daventry]

I have a feeling we'll get more spoilers in the future though. Coding is a hard thing to show a spoiler from. At least that's the way I see it. I can't read code to save my life, so a spoiler in that format would be torture and it would be a foreign language lol. But I have a feeling more are coming...

[Yonkey]

Possibly.  I just couldn't give a scripting spoiler because it would either reveal exactly how to solve a puzzle, or it would be some obscure lines of code that wouldn't really interest anyone.  I tried to pick stuff that wasn't too technical, and something that most people have experienced firsthand already, so that they could see exactly how it was done.

Anyway, I'll try to have the next entry up by this Sunday.

[dark-daventry]

Cool, I can't wait to see it! I may be a bit late on putting it up on the facebook group as I'll be in california for vacation. I will still have internet access I assume, but I have no idea what my aunt uses for internet. If she doesn't have wifi, then my laptop will be useless over there. Though I suspect she has a computer (she sends e-mails all the time...) so we'll see. I can't wait to read it though!

The next entry in our Journal Special is now posted. This month's entry entitled "Listen Up!" talks about sound effects and ambience used in the game.  Check it out!

Very cool I wasn't lost this month!

[Dopey]

I thought the sound of the rain in the abandoned village square sounded great. Will there be a selection for sitting and just listening to the rain?  j/k. Seriously though, you guys are doing great. Looking forward to the finished product.

Need I say you have outdone yourself mister Yonkey. Once again very kawaii!

Really, great read.

[Yonkey]

Thanks guys!

lol, well, there are volume sliders for: music, voice and SFX.  The SFX slider plays ambience and sound effects, so if you really want to only hear that, you can!

[awesomeasapossum]

Yeah, the sound for the village square is pretty cool sounding for sure. Great special!

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Nice job with the sound effects.  Ambience is very important to me while playing a game.  I look forward to the final product.

[tessspoon]

Awesome job on both the ambiance and the journal

These journals are really very interesting

[Yonkey]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!

[Dopey]

These journals are really very interesting

I agree. I have found that I actually look forward to these on a monthly basis.

Makes me even more excited for my game programming class this fall

I got one of my game programming books today, and I got excited when I saw a section on the history of gaming with a page on Sierra and King's Quest
