Once a month journal post

I'm surprisingly deluged with a combination of schoolwork and vidjagames so I've been quite lazy on doing new stuff.

New stuff (according to my bug tracker):

• Afterglow: AI disables when it gets far enough away from you properly now, randomly shuffling zombies appear more natural, actor stereotypes can be instantiated which allows me to load an entire gamestate from disk - this means save games work for the first time. Once I get these papers done, I'll probably work on entity placement/editing in the editor.
• iPhone: Fiddling around with parallax layers and event handling. I think I might have something cool coming up, but I haven't had much of a chance to work on it.
• Getting slightly closer to being able to package up a Mono/OpenTK application so I can finally make the transition to writing my cross-platform games in C#/F#.

You might also have seen me running around in the Lounge editing vague thread titles to more accurately reflect the thread, and arbitrarily closing threads on a whim. I'll talk more about Lounge moderation soon as well - I want to try and cut down on the number of megathreads relating to religion or politics, because they're rather boring and make everyone quite upset.
