Apparently firefox has been having some difficulty correctly interpreting my webpage. For this reason I have made several changes to maximize compatability with this, and other browsers which might have similar problems. It should be noted however that this site is tested under Chrome, to that end Chrome is the best browser to use to maximize the quality of your experience on this site.

In other news, a new item has been added to downloads, flow-wps, a free word processing software game designed to push you to write quickly off the top of your head. This software is loosely designed with NaNoWriMo in mind, the annual Novel in a Month writing event. A score of 10000 (characters) should come in around 2000 words, a good daily goal to get to 50000 in a month.

A flash portal has been added to the site, it is just getting started, but soon I expect to have several of my favorite flash games from various different sponsors here.

I am in the process of creating a series of flash games based on a new set of characters I've recently created

I have already created several backgrounds and other resources for a simple find the differences game. Other future projects may include a tower defense style game, a connect four game, an othello game, a modified matching game and so on. My observations on Kongregate indicate that reoccuring characters perhaps because of both familiarity and positive association in general are helpful in linking together games to positive effect. Some examples being the elephant sprite in the Armor Games programmed by jmtb02, or the tower defense games using characters from bloons and bubble tanks.

Thats all for now,
