Global Game Jam 2011 is over [Brazil]

GGJ2011 is an event about a bunch of game developers smelling bad and with no time to sleep with the sole objective of craft a game within 40 hours or something like that. And Brazil has a lot of entries, but no one get my eyes as Planetary Plan C did. I also heard by Kotaku Brasil that "No More Coffee" is cool, but the game just doesn't work in my PC. So, I can't say anything ~ boo hoos. The other ones just don't make me feel like downloading. Sorry guys, I know... "We should stick together", "it was just 40 hours" bla bla bla, but no. I have to do my own game on my own. Yup: alone and with no money, so. No.

MiniBoss is the studio I told before when I used to have a work. So, now, my deep admiration may be questionable - or may be not because I'm not a questionable kind of guy. ANYWAY. They are back again (with some friends ~ like a dude from Sulistas) and in a few hours they do a GREAT game. Ok, there are still some issues, but issues that isn't worth of being mentioned cause, dudes: the game is absolute artistic - not like Talbot or Braid, but...

Let's think about sleeping shortly, getting ideas on the moment, eating thumbnails in breakfast and all your friends drinking outside on a pub while you are in a "GO GO GO"!!!!!!!!!

I take some screens of the game, and as you might notice I have died a bunch of times. @Ikolino my defeat is dedicated to you. hahaha

 The game

As you begin, the logo of miniBoss appears. And it is pretty cool, cause the colours changes each time you enters the game. Making you confused about your own memory. xD
You control a robot trying to save some fragments of existence of worlds about to explode. You have to run against time and jump up hazards. You'll find very funny fragments by the world, you can even find an Easter egg, Jules (from the Sulista's game Jule's Unboxing the world - see it on image 2). You may be pissed sometimes for deaths you don't even know why, but please guys, the game isn't 100% polished. The team has to focus on core mechanics to deliver the final prototype on time. So endure it.



You can access the Team Mini Boss Global Game Jam 2011 here.
And you can play Planetary Plan C in its final prototype version here.

Sorry about the other entries, I still haven't time to see it all. With time I can find more cool stuff from Brazilian dudes, or you guys can find me at twitter.

[Extended Intro] Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Holly SHIT! You gonna cry in the end. Amazing. 

Things that should be: Twitter

Twitter is an awesome tool. I'm using it since September 2007. Since then a lot of improvements happened. But there is still a few little things that annoy me.

1- Timeline Mix
First it is on Timeline. If people check my profile will see a bunch of replies, RTs and will probably not notice my original tweets. Well, let's see how it works:

In my followers perspective: they will only see "original tweets" in their timeline when I post it - and not the replies I sent to people whom they don't follow. Which is pretty fair. But they can see all the replies if they want to access my profile.They're gonna see everything there ~ that is the problem.

In a person that doesn't follow me's perspective: When this guys access my profile, he will see a bunch of information (replies, RTs and some posts lost in the middle). They will think "this dude just chat a lot and doesn't post anything useful". Then he goes away and doesn't have the chance to really meet me and eventually follow me. :~

So, in the Timeline tab should be an option to show/hide Replies/Rts. You can see what the person posts, what this person thinks that is cool to RT and if that person replies to his followers in an organized way.




2- I was RTed?
You will know if you got a tweet RT if you just enter on the specific tab. And it is pretty boring to do all this stuff. A sense of usability would tell to put some sign on the tweet already.

3- Got new message
My friend just doesn't see that Dee Snider, frontman of the band Twisted Sister sent her a DM two months ago. Because you can't see when you get one. You have to go by yourself from time to time. And as human being you gonna forget it. When such thing happens, who's to blame? It would be pretty more useful to appear things like Message (1). Like Facebook does when you get some update.

Well. This is my opinion on things that could make Twitter even better. See ya guys. ;)

Fallout: Nuka Break [Fan Film]

Well... now it is trending. "Indie Game Cinema". hahaha After Beyond Black Mesa, a Half-Life fan film, now it is the time for the RPG game Fallout: New Vegas to have a 16 minutes short fan film. Have fun.

Twenty things that happened on the Internet [Level Hard] #20things

Can you figure it out? If you remember and miss the Virgin poster with bands, and the other one with movies, this one will blow your mind. This thing isn't so obvious like the other ones. You can see the Angry Birds and Android there, but that's not only this. It is a bunch of clues of the fact that happens. So do your best and try to figure it out the 20 things that happened on the internet.
