I lost Gruedorf again. Twice more. But I’m still alive, and want to continue work on Resonance! I’ve just finished a map, with lots of grass in it! Man, it was a pain in the ass to plot all those grass tiles down, but it’s done, it’s behind me! Eventually I’ll update it to look less visually bland by adding decorations to overlay the grass, maybe making a parallax scrolling background, and actually having fun things to do and things to shoot.

Get it here.

In this release, I also added in a small amount of interaction with beacons, so you have to find and turn on/off beacons to use/not use them by pressing Up on the keyboard. Z still shoots things, you just need to activate the fusion pistol beacon first. Sometime I’ll add new beacons besides just the map beacon and the fusion pistol thing and things will be more exciting and enjoyable for everybody!

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Enjoy, and hopefully I won’t fail next week, and I’ll see you by then. Later!

I was bored, so I made my own Wordpress template. This was actually one of the reasons I didn’t get any actual Gruedorf stuff done. It was very painful, because Wordpress’s API is quite hideous, and on top that, the example template I was using had atrocious PHP (even more abyssmal than normal). But I eventually got it. I think it looks moderately okay. There still some tiny, mostly-trivial tweaks needed. For instance, the image zoom functionality gets cropped by the rounded boxes, and there are images that need to be associated with a no_zoom class. I think some fashion of logo might be in order, too, but I need time to construct it.

I hope that you will delight in this new layout. Now I really should try and get more Gruedorf accomplished. Auf Wiedersehen.
