  The Good, The Bad, And... That's It 12:33 PM -- Thu May 21, 2009  

For handy marketing and development purposes, I've created the two following forum threads:

Why do you like Hamumu?

What don't you like about Hamumu?

Your input is greatly appreciated in both! If you are shy, you can send me an email (you can even use the Contact Form without putting in your email to be anonymous - just don't do it when logged in, or it's a lot less anonymous!) instead of posting. But please please send your information. It's for your own good!

The first question will be very helpful both in knowing how to market the site so I can bring you more new friends to play with/abuse, and in knowing what the key things to keep/expand are. The second question will tell me what the key issues are that need improvement around here.

Which reminds me that a major overhaul is coming. Probably not soon, only because these things take a long long time to finish. But it's underway! It won't be like the last one - we're keeping most of the underlying technology intact. I'll just be adding more interactivity, integrating everything better, making it much easier to navigate (somehow!?), improving the looks, making it look more appealing to the n00Bz, and fixing whatever you complain about in that second thread! Well, if I agree.

  Behind The Dumb - Episode 8: Functionality 01:46 PM -- Fri May 15, 2009  


Episode 8 of Behind The Dumb brings you a look into actual development of an actual game! Specifically, the one the series is about.

Show Notes: (Watch it first!)
  • Mikhail Hommelchev was going to make a return appearance to discuss some programming, but I found actually trying to speak with his accent was problematic at best. For a little while, I was Japanese.
  • Dual-monitor tip: my original setup lead me into multiple Blue Screens of Death. I discovered since then that this was because I had both monitors plugged into the same video card (it had 2 video outs). What's working for me now, with no crashes or problems since, is that I re-enabled my computer's onboard video card, and I have one monitor plugged into each card. Probably much easier on the computer too!
  • Got ideas, however outlandish, of what you'd like to see on the show? I wouldn't object to hearing them via any of the many vehicles for commentary that this website provides you! I worry about just continuing to show that same shot of me at my desk, blabbing on about programming. It would be nice to spice things up.

  Pay Up, Pal! 10:39 PM -- Tue May 12, 2009  

I am pretty sure I used that headline before. But never to mean that

Paypal is finally integrated into the site!

Go on, you! Buy tons of games, and pay for them with Paypal! You always could, but now you can do it without emailing me.

  Hamumu.Fan.Blog 11:13 AM -- Mon May 11, 2009  

I just had this idea, and I thought I'd spin it by the community and see if it's something you'd use. It's the Hamumu Fan Blog. It's exactly like this journal you are reading right here, differences and rules being:
  • Anyone with a Dumb Account can post an entry
  • All entries are emailed to me first for approval
  • Posts must be related to Hamumu
  • Posts have to be of some significance (like short - or long - articles about something). If you have something less meaningful (or spammy) to say, we've got a forum for that
It's nothing you can't do on the forum, but it kind of puts a spotlight on it if you want to post something really noteworthy (like a guide to making tiles, or the story of how you introduced Hamumu to your school). I don't know if that's worth the effort or not. Does it just take away from the forum? Does it add a fun new outlet? Do you have ideas of something you'd want to post there? Whatcha think!?

  Daily Sketch #7: The Devil Is Sleepy 04:07 PM -- Tue May 5, 2009  


The Devil Is Sleepy

This one comes from a line in the episode of Angel we watched tonight. And indeed, it seems that the devil is sleepy. And is the word "Daily" getting sillier or sadder as time goes on?

  Behind The Dumb - Episode 7: The Sandwiching 03:45 PM -- Sat May 2, 2009  


Episode 7 of Behind The Dumb! Finally you will learn what kind of sandwich I had!

Next week we return with a normal sort of episode. For a sneak preview of fun and joy, check out the current state of Loonyland Tactics! That's the cool thing about Flash, I'm able to easily give you something to play even though there's really nothing to play yet.

  Daily? Sketch #6: Ninjalope 03:40 PM -- Wed April 29, 2009  


Ninjalope

Someone in IRC suggested the theme of Ninjalope. Yet again, it's a creature with no legs. This time I got distracted and went off to do other things, so he will have to just find a wheelchair or something. It's no coincidence that these guys lack legs... I find legs to be the hardest part, and always the part I do last. I should probably be doing lots of legs.

  Daily!?!? Sketch #5: Something With Fire Inside 11:57 AM -- Tue April 28, 2009  


Something With Fire Inside

Sol gave me this theme, and this was the first thing I thought of. I know it looks like this clockwork robot is trying to crush something, but that's just another little thing I had sketched on the paper first (it's some sort of weird spaceship, upside down). I also know that he has no legs, but this is as far as I got. His left arm is really stupid. I think it was going to be some kind of gun or something, but it just kind of sputtered out. The whole thing's more than a little weird... but it has fire inside!

  Behind The Dumb Episode 6 09:12 PM -- Sun April 26, 2009  


Episode 6 of Behind The Dumb is here! This one is a whole different kind of thing as it follows step-by-step my work during a 48-hour contest.

Show Notes (Watch first!):

- It's a two-parter! Way too much to fit in one episode.

- The uploading experience was an experience, as I ran out of allowed bandwidth on my internet connection, so I got by with a little help from my friend.

- If you are particularly interested, watch it twice, and pay close attention to the timelapse in the corner of the screen the second time. It's undoubtedly more entertaining than I am! I like the part where I'm drawing the old man, anyway.

- That's all I have to tell you about it, it's quite self-explanatory.

This system is going well! I'm not really getting much of what I have scheduled actually done, but I'm getting stuff done! All the little things I always ignore and let slide. Paypal is almost set up at long long last. I put up fan art and photos that have been sitting. I tested an LL2 addon. I purchased some ADVERTISING. Me! It was very half-hearted, but I am learning how it works, maybe. I've cleaned about 1/3 of my inbox of things that have accumulated over the past year for no reason. I've installed a new video card and monitor to make WoW look better (that doesn't count, you say?). I've done dishes and walked dogs (the latter actually not scheduled and in fact dramatically cutting into progress on all things that are - it's a fence training issue, hopefully finished this week). I've contacted press type people about various things Hamumu (a little teeny bit).

I see victory in hand!! Now if only I could define victory.
