Admit it. We've all thought about it.
This week's comic is short because I thought I wouldn't have much time this week, and because I wanted to get back to working on the animated version of Nerdcore #2. I noticed that my auto-update script had taken down the "deleted scene" I'd done for that cartoon, so I put that back up.
I really need to automate the updating of the archives page. ^_^
Oh! Hey! I got a trackback that showed someone posted a link to my comic on the forums of a comic called Casey and Andy, which, from what I've read so far is a really funny and also really nerdy comic that you should read. I also found that the author of that comic wrote a game called Gug which is a puzzle game where your favorite (okay, my favorite, and quite likely his favorite - I don't mean to tell you what to like) video game characters use their diverse talents to cooperate and get to an exit point! Also there's a level editor!
It actually reminds me of a game I wanted to write but don't have the time for. It would be a 2 player simultaneous cooperative arcade-style game, where one player is on top of a step-pyramid (You know, a ziggurat) playing a Q-Bert clone, and the other player is in the underground maze below the pyramid playing a Pacman clone. The cooperation part would come from one player meeting his goals would make it easier for the other player to meet her goals. For instance, eating the fruit would cause the flying disc to reappear. Eating a power-pill would cause all the enemies on the board to be killable. Actually it might work better as a PvP game where defeating your enemies sends them to the other player's game. Anyway, Gug is more fun and you should try it. I'll stick to working on biots.
