My neighbor-Friend studio just finished polishing up the demo for his totally sweet indie game Fantasy Dreamer. This is a nice 8-bit style side scroller, complete with cool bosses, multiple enemy types, and all hand drawn character sprites by ol' Adam himself. Annnnd not only do you find the standard jump and attack, you'll also enjoy a jump-attack, complete with sword flipping-swinging action. And last I looked he was implementing some jumping fireball action as well. You can also ride a hog. So definitely worth... Read more
I don't have a favorite actor, or athlete, or religious figure, or breed of cat, but I do have a favorite scientist - Neil deGrasse Tyson and yes, I already bought the domain name neildebadassetyson.com so don't even try. Why is NDT my favorite scientist and why am I posting this on Tales of People Because it's my website and I do what I want? Well, first off he states profound things on a regular basis. Second, he's friends with Bill... Read more
I was drunkenly sending a text to the ex last night I only sent one - go me about coming out to whatever bar I was at. I saw this morning that in a very drunken fashion I misspelled every word in the text. She never replied but I'm assuming she looked at it. As I laugh to myself about this, I can't help but imagine her trying to read this shity in spelling... Read more
So I have no idea how this will go. This could just as easily become a 'How not to setup the Ouya ODK' but you can follow along in the adventure as I try to figure this out.

> Java Runtime Environment
> Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
> Android SDK
> Android ADT for Eclipse
1. Download and extract the Ouya ODK

Had a very awesome video pixelation made by a friend to help with the experiment. Check it out, a true 8-bit person.
I made a fairly weak. lets just say 'quick' effort to chop it up and add the animation leftIdleAnimation to be exact but you can see the random animations currently plugged into the various animation slots.... Read more
This one's written for you. It's called It's Only Castles Burning thanks Neil Young song I'm listening to right now for the perfect title.
It's Only Castles Burning
When was the last time that I looked into your eyes,
Through the cigarette smoke lingering in the skies,
Sitting on the chaise that was your throne,
In the bottom floor of that basement tomb
As the castle fell and the stones were broken,
The sentries failed and the gates flew open,
With a rush of men in haste and furry,
The past was left for the future to bury
What... Read more
Alright so now that the website is all but finished it's time to move on to the game I still need to add a facebook button that links to the Tales of People fb page. So back to the game, I've finished up some notes on the People Game Builder tentative name that involve utilizing my C# / XNA engine to create scenes and storyboard those scenes into episodes. But for my next trick I'll be focusing on the art direction and creation. The goal is to develop some sort of well managed and directed art project to create... Read more
Welp, the website is complete, launched, and ready for no one to look at! So starting with the blank omega template for my lowly Drupal 7 install, I did some design work on a small sheet of paper and now we have a functional website. I changed the original thought of the design (referrenced in my last dev post) to incorporate a more comprehensive theme of people / tales of people. The theme now focuses on people like that wasn't fucking obvious the whole time including characters and... Read more
