Eggy’s Blog

Well here we are almost at the end of the year 2007. I thought I’d write up a long post on pretty much everything of the year and things to come. It’s been a pretty good year I’d say, a few things have happened here and there since it’s the year I’ve turned 18. Getting my license, finishing Tafe, going out a lot more. Just the usual teen stuff. Been a pretty good year for flash too. I’ve gotten 2 front pages and a daily first on newgrounds. Thats one more than last year, so I guess I’ve gotten better, yet Nodes still wasn’t good enough to compete with Draw-Play. Didn’t make it over a 4+ I managed to finish 8 Flash’s, within 12 months, hopefully next year I can start to pick up my game and release one a month.

Now that I’ve finished tafe hopefully I can get more games done because I won’t be busy at all, and I also don’t have a gf to take any time either…..yet anyway, I’m bad with showing emotion, I think I need them to make first moves :S I don’t know…I don’t really have any experience lol… and I’m just generally shy with girls…end up as just a nice guy…a friend….sigh.

My plans for next year are to get out some more great games. I try and make something different every time, I try change things up, it makes it more fun, though I’ll release a sequel here and there if demanded of popular games. I’m trying to get into multiplayer servers since even simple multiplayer games do so well, but it’s tricky and I still got a lot to learn in that department.

I’m so frickin’ fed up of seeing games that are exact copy’s of others with just some shiny new slabbed on graphics, it really pisses me off. They’re just hopping on the chain to make money, it’s pathetic really. The one’s that really annoyed me were the Tower Defence ones. Desktop Tower Defence, and a couple of others were the first to arrive on the scene then in the next month everyone made clones. DTD was good, the clones - Pathetic.

Whats the point of copying things? The scores still stay high it’s frustrating. The problem is, flash games are played by people really quickly so they don’t know the history behind them ect, they don’t know it’s been copied, so they vote high. It’s basically a problem that’s hard to fix. Every few years you can release the same idea with new graphics and no one really notices.

Also I started up The Eggcomic this year, which has had some medium success for the amount I’ve done. I’ll have to wait and see when I have a lot more done, I’ve been slacking lately in that department and must start to do some more. I usually think of heaps of jokes but they just aren’t suited to comics which is annoying.

The main thing I’m going to be playing around with also this year is ads on my site, if I can find the best ad sites and get it nicely set up I can make a decent income, then I wouldn’t have to get a proper job yay….and could finally quit coles (THE HELLHOLE!) The old version of my site cremationproductions.com used to have google ads which when I released Draw-Play was bringing in like $50 a day in ads, but google ads clsed my account saying I had fraud clicks which is bullshit, and I didn’t even get the money I made from it. So my trust for ad sites is pretty low.

This blog seems to get 500 views a day and has had a total of 100,000 views, not bad, I wonder how many of them peopel actually read anything. I’m happy with that. Basically I see this blog as more of an open diary, where I can write it up and look back on it in a few years to read my stuff, so that should be interesting. Also it’s to entertain people, and people that are just nosy into my life I love when people leave comments too, so don’t be shy, just to let me know your reading.

Well thats about it I think for now, I know it’s early but I felt like writing this up now -

Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

Lots of love from your FAVOURITE GAME MAKER RIGHT? AM I RIGHT? yeah I so am.

So basically I haven’t been getting any new comics or games done because I’m hooked on Halo 3!!! it is awesome. The other halo’s were my all time favourite game so of course I’m hooked to this, and mainly live. Surprisingly with only a 256k connection it runs fine online. So I’ll be kicking ass on there for a while gettting up my ranking. My gamer tag is > Eggy55555

Well I have one lesson left of tafe, and I have to finish 200 pages of excel before next wednesday…oh…how…fun. This weeks gonna suck. Perhaps I should have worked a bit more during the 6 months…..mehhhh.

*Looks at shitty IT book, you have one week to live*

-EDIT- All 200 pages done…Oh god that was the worst week ever.

Soooo….I quit WoW…..I played it for like 2 years. I’m a level 66 troll hunter on Blackrock called Eggyman. I was the guild master of a long term guild called “The Timekeepers” then I had a small break and disbanded, and remade it later as “Timekeepers Revolution” I came back for expansion, but I was just too bored of the game in general. The social aspect of it was all that kept me there. Talking to them everyday, but it wasn’t worth staying for the grinding and boring instance runs. Don’t get me wrong the game is still one of my top favourite games because I played it longer then any I’ve ever played, but I just cant play it ever again hehe.

A while ago I made a PVP Video, but remember this is before expansion so my crits arn’t what they are now.

Also this was filmed by my friend, when we were in our 30-40s we raided Ironforge, haha such a failure, but still fun Took hours to get everyone there.
