Well, it’s happened again, TIGSource<\/a> is hosting another interesting competition.\u00a0 Folks here will remember that I started MMORPG Tycoon as an entry for their last competition, the “Procedural Generation” competition.<\/p>\n

This new competition is “Bootleg Demakes”;\u00a0 basically selecting a game and creating a bootleg version of it for older hardware.\u00a0 Full details and rules are here<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve had a few fun ideas for it, but I don’t think I’ll actually be entering this one;\u00a0 there’s too much stuff to do on MMORPG Tycoon, and I already took one break from MMORPG Tycoon, to make “Robot Finds Ice Cream”.\u00a0 I don’t think I could justify taking another big break.\u00a0 But there’s a lot of exciting stuff happening in this contest.<\/p>\n

My vector-loving heart is absolutely in love with Vipe\u00dct<\/a> (a demake of WipeOut, to the Vectrex console).\u00a0 I especially love that it’s simulating the bright spots where the vector hardware’s display gun accelerates.\u00a0 Someday I’ll add that sort of fine touch to VectorStorm.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, back on the topic of MMORPG Tycoon, there’s been a lot of progress recently, but there’s still a long way to go before I reach 1.1!\u00a0 I’ve got a thread with progress reports running over on the forums.\u00a0 Check it out, if you’re interested in how stuff is moving along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
