Army of the Undead Postmortem

How did you hear about the competition?
I originally read it in the lounge but some things with work were in play that wouldn't allow me to participate so I forgot about it. I lurk the journals every morning as part of my startup routine and that is when I saw a bunch o…

Day 7
Where to begin. I am only counting day 7 from when I woke up - not the 4 hours after midnight of day 6 before bed. We entered the day with a massive list of things to do....and some major bullets on the list such as these (

My Return!

I'm not dead!
It's been a long time since I have written any games or even written here. I continue to lurk but I've been primarily focused with enterprise software development for the past few years. Also, I was burnt by an artist for the last time and lost the desire to continue on wit…

I decided to release the game the way it was as it was already a lot of fun alb…

This is the long overdue followup article to this journal entry about my generic object translator. This new object translator is extremely simple to use and add to if necessary. It replaces the hacked together object translator of said previous journal entry.
