Also did some optimizations in the game engine, removed quite a bit deprecated stuff and added a developer console window for testing and development purposes. Finally started to implement network code, woo!

Good thing I also had a new template almost ready for the website (nothing too flashy, mind you!), which I can implement later. So if you see a new template soon, things are working back to normal again.

Here’s a screenshot from a quick Norfair level I put together:

Note that the background distortion and lava aren’t perfect yet, and the heat glow on Samus and some of the tiles are still missing. I am aware of this and will be fixed/added later.

What’s a gravatar, you might ask? Well, the official site’s description reads:

Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?

So if you’re commenting not only on my blog, but other people’s blogs that have Gravatars enabled, it will show your own icon! You can sign up for free on their website and upload your image right away!

For those of you who wonder how it works, it’s based on your email address. You sign up with your email on Gravatar.com and upload an image. When you post here using the same email address, it will show your avatar from Gravatar! Isn’t that just convenience?

But now it’s open again! So please, feel free to comment us on our work! Either using comments on articles or on the forums (see menu). We’ll be happy to receive your feedback, especially on my Multitroid project. :)

Also, Multitroid isn’t dead as I’ve hear some people say. It’s just that I’m too busy in real life at the moment to properly work on stuff like Multitroid. Other than that, the engine is getting along quite nicely. We can start working on a tech demo and networking code soon.

In other news, the link linking to the forums in the Pages section works again. No idea when or why it broke, but it works again. Don’t forget to register and say hi to us there!

Commenting on posts have been disabled due huge amounts of spam (and me being too lazy to use a proper spam filter). If you would like to leave a message to us, please use the forums!

Stay tuned for more updates!

The third and final member of the mineth crew here, it’s me! AzMiLion, Having known SharQueDo for a stupidly long time, we’ve always made games/levels together, wether it’s JazzJackrabbit 2 maps, Warcraft 3 maps. Completely custom games wich fall flat on their face after a long period of development(Vectro comes to mind) or other projects.
Sharqy and I usually work together on everything(I mapped on Metroid Tournament, probably going to help with Multitroid again), though we both have our solo projects.

The last thing i made publicly is a bosspack for the excellent bullet hell shmup, FRAXY.
It was known as azFRAXY and it was a pretty fun compilation, this chunk of shmup hell came forth from metaFRAXY.
A pack i made with members of the metanet community, awesome people, awesome times.

So in short, that’s who i am.
