GDNet: Tales from Journal Land

It's a tight schedule for me today, so I was a bit picky on choosing entries for this week's Weekend Reading. There wasn't a whole lot of entries this past week, so you can easily find all the recent updated on the main Journal Land page.

From the Staff

* Gaiiden's Scroll - weekly sitrep: 7 new events and I ask for your status report on GDNet


Project Updates

* Merry Prankster Games - gdunbar redoes his UI to move away from MFC and make it look less like Windows

* Milkshake's Dev Diary - more work on his cow platformer game, including the completion of killing the cow: Game Over

* Ye Olde Ramblings - Telastyn works to add Properties to his language Tangent

* Metaphorical Journeys of Happenstance - I saw people asking Rav for an update, and apparently he saw them too

* The Bag of Holding - ApochPiQ has a new release of his language Epoch ready for your consumption - plus many more notable entries the rest of the week

* Journal of Lethargic Programmers - cameni and team continue with their planetary engine, getting further along with their flora by placing trees and rendering a nice video for your watching pleasure


Game Dev Stuffs

* Untitled - Tape_Worm figures he might as well use his still-existing journal to ask for help in optimizing a memory buffer object in .NET, sharing a bit of code he wrote for benchmarking the buffer

* Journal of EasilyConfused - ever think about whether to letterbox or 4:3 your resolutions? Mix/match? EasilyConfused goes over the options

* Tesseract's Game Development Journal - more code and a playable version of the maze generator posted last week


Other Stuffs

* Any Colour You Like - the Z80 madness continues!

* FREE AOL FOR THE MILLIONTH READER! - The Senshi says "I don't think people that play MMORPGs actually enjoy them -- but they think they do" and then goes on to answer the question "how does someone believe they're having fun when they're not?" (GDNet Surgeon Generals Health Notice: The journal readership is nowhere near the million count yet - it is safe to view without fear of contracting the horrible disease AOL)


And let's cap it all off with a welcome to Clapfoot.
