Grrr. Blame .art files. Must transpose.
04/16/2002
Still working. Is it looking good?
04/15/2002
Dsone just can't spell. It's not that hard: a capital letter D, and then a period. I hope he doesn't mind my editing his flap to get rid of all those idiotic underscores.
Also, I have been trying to do a little work on the site, so some links may be broken for a bit. Cha!
04/14/2002
Well, Dsone got 12th place in the Spring 24HoZZT Comp. for his ZZT rendition of the shoe saga. Go, Dsone!
04/08/2002
We'll have the new Akim Prom picture up soon, I guess. And maybe the goats. Maybe. Why am I posting?
Oh, yeah. I'm posting to tell Dsone, if he reads this, that I'm mightily displeased with him flaming other ZZTers. I won't lock-down on him, because he's not really doing anything to black-name the company except lower everyone's opinion of himself. Another thing is, I'm mightily disappointed with the way he's taken to swearing and 'discussing' sexual perversions like so many of the other ZZTers. I had hoped that Akim Prod could stand out as a fairly Christian company, even if that's not the subject of our games. Sigh. Well, I must away. Tata!
Later that day....
And his grammer is atrocious!
02/06/2002
Hey, it's an Akim Prom! From left: Jeshul, The Coolness, D., Dsone
And I finally made a moving banner for Akim, but I'm not sure if it's as good as Dsone's. Who cares, it was fun. I'll upload it soon.
01/27/2002
Yay! See my banner!
01/09/2002
As you can see (at least, you can see it with Internet Explorer), I've come through on my threats to merge my two logs.... somewhat. Goats may or may not be coming, as I recently aquired The Sims, and it's taking up my time, sleep, and eye moisture.
01/07/2002
Yippee! The war is over! Goat pictures for everyone! Dsone's is first, as we have it already:
01/06/2002
Great. This is just great. Akim Productions is going through civil war, and it is, in fact, mostly my fault. I just wrote a long apology to Dsone about it. I hope the company survives it all. The rest of what I was going to post is now completely out of place.
And that, frankly, sucks.
Later that day....
The ZZT community, as it turns out, hates me not at all.
12/30/2001
Well, I'm judging. Anyone else find it funny that the spring contest is in early February? In any case, it won't be this year for long, and I've got a term paper to write.
Oh! And I'm considering discontinuing this page and just making the link lead to my home website on es.org, where there won't be ads. Not the whole site (heavens no!), just my flap. Bye.
12/20/2001
This, little buddies, is how you start wars.
12/11/2001
I'm still working on the sidebar. It looks like I'll have to use a table.
10/13/2001
I have finished judging the Comedy Comp. entries. Here are my results:
Starbux
Graphics: 2/5
Plot: 0/5
Gameplay: 1/5
Topic: 3/5
Comedy: 1/5
Overall: 7/25, 28%
Comments: No offense, this "game".... sucked.
------
Nuero
Graphics: 4/5
Plot: 3/5
Gameplay: 1/5
Topic: 2/5
Comedy: 5/5
Overall: 15/25, 60%
Comments: This was by far the best entry; I laughed out loud from the monkey dance al the way to the cutoff point. The main reason it did so poorly is that it was unfinished, but the connection to the topic was also a little bit feeble. I would love to see this expanded into a full game. Rock on, Master Nuero.
------
Taste of Panda - Disqualified!
Graphics: 2/5
Plot: 1/5
Gameplay: 1/5
Topic: 3/5
Comedy: 2/5
Overall: 9/25, 36%
Comments: I liked the screen where you tried to kill Jeremy. It was a decent enough entry, aside from the programming glitches, but you broke the rules. (I told you I wasn't kidding, and now you pay the price for your insolence. It must hurt.... yeah, right.)
09/09/2001
Well, I've been trying to think up theme songs for all of us here at Akim. So far, I have:
- "Let's Talk About Zechs"
- "D.: Right Stuff"
- "Dsone-ly One (For Me)"
But I still need Jeshul, the Coolness, and Sandy, our mascot. Hmmm....
You know, I actually worked on SuperHero today. But right now, I'm trying to get free money.
09/07/2001
I am idle. Fear me.
08/21/2001
Well, we have hired Zechs. Isn't he cool? He's doing all sorts of good stuff for the company;
if he keeps it up, we might give him a 10% increase in salary, which would make Dsone the
lowest-paid member of Akim Productions. Whoo. Janitor is coming along nicely.
I'm going now.
08/08/2001
Master Trege added. It's mid-August. Have a nice daydream.
07/18/2001
Well, I'll be gone until mid-August. If La Roche isn't female, I apologise.
07/13/2001
Friday the Thirteenth! I was just inspired to make a retelling of the Odyssy in ZZT.... and then I
realized that "Fantasy Game" is pretty much an Odyssy story. Cool.
Fixed Nuero's name on the contest page. Shoot, I'm likely to join myself; there's no rule saying I can't.
Oh what tangled webs we weave.... *EGSP*
Janitor is going well. I'm writing down ideas for a sequel already. It'll be called "Conceit." I'm the villain, the hero,
and most of the other characters as well. If you happen to read this, and want a cameo in Janitor,
drop me a line. I might just put it in. If you don't care, you shouldn't
even be here. Some apathist you are.
07/07/2001
That was fun. I just threw a new twist into the Comedy Comp. rules. Hehehe.... Yes, I know I'm evil.
07/02/2001
Back from camp, and been getting lotsa support and encouragement for Janitor: NS. Kickin'.
06/19/2001
Well, this update was pointless.
06/05/2001
There. The Comedy Comp. page is up, links to it are fixed, and I even corrected a typo on Dsone's flap. Man, I'm good.
Enjoy!
05/27/2001
I come back from hiatus, and what do I find? My spineless underling has declared war on a repected collegue.
Not just personal war; oh, no, he made it company-wide. He did not, of course, ask anyone else's opinion.
I'm tempted to fire him or quit AP. But if I quit AP, I'd have nowhere to go. And if I fire Dsone,
I think it might damage our friendship (just a hunch). So I'm off to fix up the site. Sorry about not....
doing.... anything.... lately, but I've been busy. My ZZTV entry is going.... rough, and complications have come up in Janitor.
Everyone else seems determined to prevent me from releasing another issue of the Akim Magazine, and I've got an infected splinter in the sole of my foot.
And the boards are down.
05/06/2001
Shorts are hemmed! I'm wearing them right now. Actually, they're more like really baggy clamdiggers than actual shorts, but I like 'em.
I broke my resolution to not begin any new projects, and started what I hope will be a revolutionary kind of dungeon game, Janitor. It's a long story.
I'm going to be playing in a local production of "Cyrano de Bergerac", so that might cut down on my work time a little bit. I hope not too much.
But most of all, God loves you. if you can't handle that, bum for you because it's true. But hey, why not ask Him (for lack of a better pronoun) about it if you got any gripes.
Just a word of warning, though: He (see above) is always right.
05/01/2001
Well, the Realm of the Banana is up (kinda) and it's May Day. Shorts aren't quite hemmed yet.
Inspiration is low. Listening to Watashi Wa. The "akimprod@hotmail.com" address is officially dead,
because we were getting spammed. I fixed that, hoo hoo. Goodbye.
04/26/2001
I am currently banned from playing games, so progress has slowed. Besides, I've got to finish
Quest for Glory IV still. And I've got shorts to hem. And I'm redoing my website. So there.
04/12/2001
The other day we actually got an e-mail complimenting our site.
For this, I am deeply grateful, and will therefor plug the site of she who praised us.
www.BiancaBroussard.com
I hope you all enjoy that.
Oh, yeah, and that continous-line graphic/logo on the main page was done by me. I rock.
04/09/2001
Ya, my hair's in braids, Prom's over, and I still am behind on my ZZT, because it's still Lent. Yaar. Over and out.
04/01/2001
I'm quitting ZZT, forever. (see date) I also uploaded the D.mentia Happy Pack, so knock yerself out.
03/23/2001
There, I think it's fixed. I suck. Don't argue with me. What? You weren't going to? Fine then.
03/21/2001
Working on site. Putting up logo. Problems. Will fix later. Will upload D.mentia Happy Pack later.
03/12/2001
Many games (and a font) were released inside the D.mentia Happy Pack yesterday. Fwee! I'd better UL it.
Also, I have begun to put up The Shoe Saga, if you care.
02/04/2001
I'm brushing up my first 'Survivor' entry. I can't give it to you yet because the FTP is down. It's only a beta, besides.
02/03/2001
No, I'm not dead.
01/11/2001
Dsone is hosting a ZZT Comedy Contest, and I'm a judge.
I warn you, I'm very harsh, and about to leave for luch ant the Golden Wall resteraunt.
They have good egg-drop soup.
I wonder if Dsone's contest will get anywhere? I advertised it on #zzt. Oh, and I've now got my
own AustNet room, #Lunatic's_Cove
Check it out, ya'll.
Later that day....
They never showed up, and I had chips for lunch. I took exams. Dsone's winter 24 hour comp. entry, The Continent, is absolutely hilarious! I'm going to make anothe magazine. Boy, this is rushed!
01/09/2001
There's really no point in me posting today, ther than to one-up Dsone. Poor guy.
I love this job.
I also recently aquired a new job ant an after-school daycare, so that may cut back a little on my production.
Hopefully not too much, though. After all, I am still working on SuperHero and City Life. Adieu, you.
01/05/2001
Hey, I'm not completely idle. Dsone was tied for 27th place in the winter 24HoZZT, out of 33 people. Newbies beat him! How pathetic is that?
I may spend a little more time than expected on ZZT. Then again, maybe not.
01/04/2001
Well, I'm sorry, ya'll, but I'm afraid my carreer is going to slow down a bit. You see,
I recently aquired the Quest for Glory Anthology, and it's taking up a bunch of my time, so don't expect too many reviews from this quarter. Don't expect a lot of exiting activity, either.
12/31/2000
Well, Hippy Old Yaar. Or whatever. I'm back from my sojourn in the windy city, Chicago. That's all for this millenium, yo.
12/19/2000
Tinker, tinker. just messing around on the pages, tweaking a bit here, altering a bit there....
All to serve my own evil misguided sinister intentions. MWA hahahahahahah!
And so on. You get the picture. Why aren't I on the Hoodian Awards? Who knows. What have I done? Wel....That's for me to forget and you to be too lazy to find out.
12/14/2000
FGHHFhggteyhgjhgFDF. And so on. I delete Jeshul's pictures, and gave him a DBZ cursor that he wanted. Like I said, there's
no accounting for taste.
The Coolness IS the
I haven't been online much recently, but I've solved the mystery.... It aws me. I did it. So there.
12/11/2000
Well, the common suspicion lays upon Dsone, who says he didn't do it. Jeshul is actually pleased with the picture,
so i don't know why he's sweating. Interesting, though.... The pic is from igsel.mtrap.org, which leads me to believe it's someone more aquanted
with the ZZT community. Upon Jeshul's request, I gave his page a Spears cursor. *shrug* There's no accounting for taste.
Later that day....
Ah, I gave Jeshul two more Brit Pics to enjoy, compliments of Jason McBride's Homepage.
Jason's a cool guy, and I felt Like mischeif. Hehe. I may add more "Comet" cursors to this page later on. *yawn*
Even later....
There, I did. How do you like them bananas?
Later still....
I keep going offline to play Monopoly. I'm whoopin' up. But anyway, I shifted the first bunch of entries into a backlog to slim down this page.
I'm going to tinker around now with frame targets. Happy Holidays!
12/10/2000
The question that plagues all our minds: Who put that picture of Britney Spears on Jeshuls' flap?
Did he do it himself, or did dsone do it to/for him? It's no real secret that Spears is Jeshuls' celebrity crush, so
it's conceivable that anyone with access could've done it. The mystery lives on....
Hey, I actually worked on Fantasy Game III today. There's a surprise for you. I bet you all thought it was dead (it was). He Heh.
12/06/2000
Whatever Dsone says, he got ninth. There were two sixth placers, but the didn't bump down the seventh to eigth or anything.
So he got ninth.
I won't be in the Winter 24hoszzt, 'cause I'll be en route to Chicago for Chrsitmas. Happy holidays, Christ loves you!
11/29/2000
Hehe. Now those results are easier to read. Have fun.
Coming up soon as a non-ZZT-related event is the first
Inverted Tetris Poetry Contest, hosted by Lunatic's
Cove. I'll keep you posted.
11/29/2000
Adding Ghost. Results in for the Autumn 24hoZZT, and Dsone doesn't even know it yet. Hehe. Here they are:
FIFTH D. 7.125 - 7 6 8 7.5
- The dialogue was well-written, and I particularly enjoyed the underground city and all there was to do there; it is undoubtedly my favorite board of the comp. The game had some wonderful little touches, like being able to lose your clothes in various ways and having other characters comment on your character's nudity.
- The plot was mostly well-written and made you think a little. "The Man" was pretty trite. It was sort of annoying figuring out which walls you can walk through. Nice effort.
- nice game, with a decent ending.
- Good. D's obsession with caves comes into play again here (hey, i also had it in my early days). Interesting play. The up-world would reject you!
NINTH Dsone 5.25 - 4 4 6 7
- As I realized what the plant produced, I felt a chilling sense of premonition, and wondered in which direction the game would go next. The author spoiled it for me by popping up a text window and telling me what I thought I should be feeling on my own, thereby ruining the effect it had on me. To add insult to injury, he ended the game there.
- Very trite perception of the future. There's a textual glitch on the final board. Mediocre graphics.
- funny, and has a nice viewpoint on the presented subject.
- Horrid title screen. The game itself, happily, is more promising. It feels futuristic. But why is there grass if everything's got radiation poisoning? The cars in sky thing reminded me of The Jetsons. And that's always a good thing. 'Be yourself,' wise words, sir.
Judges, in order, were Master Anthony Testa, Master Jimbob, Master Lemmer, and Master Zenith Nadir. These scores are out of 17 ACTUAL entries. Heheh.
11/13/2000
Ditch the #wonderbaul. It's not worth the effort. Entered Autumn 2000 24hoZZT competition.
Prolly do good. Break out. Will add Ghost soon.
