Entry 1: Dungeons, Ships, and Apples

The next demo of SPIRITS: The Wind Crystal will go up to the end of the first dungeon. I hope to have it finished by the end of the month, but that is somewhat unlikely: Metroid Prime 3 is a fantastic game, whether or not it is my second run through. :D
I'm also working on another game, an edutainment scrolling shooter, which I'm doing as a school project. Depending on how good the final product is, I may post it.

I suppose now is as good a time as any to give a shout-out to YoYo Games, the company that creates the software I use to develop my games: Game Maker. The name is painfully creative (:P) but offers a powerful development system that can be used with surprising ease. You can download the LITE version for free, and upgrade to PRO for $20 USD if you like. I recommend it!
While I'm discussing Game Maker, I have a tidbit of news that will gladden the hearts of a large number of visitors. As this glog entry states, development of a Mac version of Game Maker is beginning. While it is not expected to come out in the near future, it will allow me to create Mac versions of games. Good deal, no?
