Penguinquest1 release date
The game engine for Penguinquest1 is mostly completed. The designing of the game (maps, images, etc.) are still being worked on. The plan for release is probably around the end of this summer.
Meanwhile, I am working on Penguinquest2 - I'll probably show a few sample maps (beta 1) sometime this month. :)
(anyone want to draw? I seriously need someone who can draw simple sprites for the game!)

I'll try to draw, but there's no guarantee that it'll come out good. I don't even know what sprites are. What are they? Another problem is that I live on the other side of the country, so I'd have to email my drawings to you. I'm not sure how to email drawings. Do you know how?
On second thought, how about we just scrap the idea of me drawing the sprites.
Does anyone ever leave any comments here besides me? It's sort of boring with only myself to talk to.
I heard a rumor that Evan is leaving. Is this true?
I think I'm going to start an argument with myself.
Please don't, it's really boring and no fun at all.
How would you know.
Trust me. I've had a conversation with myself a while ago, and I got so bored out of my mind that I got bored INTO my mind.
Oh, by the way, on comment #7 I meant to put a question mark, not a period. Sorry about that.
Okay, back to the argument now.
Oh, so you're calling it an argument now?
Yes I am. What are you going to make of it?
Why did you decide to call it an argument only now?
What are you talking about? I started calling it an argument on comment #5.
Oh sorry, silly me.
Oh, now you're getting defensive, are you?
I'm not getting defensive!
Oh yeah?
Yeah!
Prove it!
If I was getting defensive, then I would be trying to defend why I thought you had only started calling our argument an argument after comment #5. But I'm not. Can you understand that last sentence? Not "but I'm not." The sentence before that.
Yeah, I think I can understand it, but just barely.
Oh, just barely, eh? All out yes-I-understand-it isn't good enough for you?
It's not that, it's just that -
It's just what?
Well, first, is it possible to interrupt someone during an online argument.
I guess so, if the two people who are having an argument are the same person.
Okay, thank you. So, second, barely isn't good enough for you?
No. I'm an idealist.
Oh, and you think you're so good, being an idealist and all that frozen-hammer-lichtenstein-your-face-doesn't-smell-like-a-dead-carrot?
What?!?
Can you really have a question mark, and exclamation point, and then another question mark to end a sentence?
very useful comments.
evan isnt leaving.
Thank you. I'm glad Evan isn't leaving. Now let me continue my argument.
Well, I think you can have a question mark, an exlamation point, and then a question mark to express your surprise. So anyway, what was that long rant with all those hiphenated words?
I think you mean hyphenated.
Okay, whatever. So what was that long rant with hyphenated words?
That was a torrent of insults. What are you going to make of it.
I'm going to make a bowl of cream cheese with it.
With salsa?
What do you mean with salsa? Are you crazy? Cream cheese would taste horrible with salsa!
How do you know?
How do I know? Think about it! Cream cheese with salsa? I don't think so.
Have you ever tried it?
No, I haven't. Well come on, cream cheese and salsa are practically opposite things.
So?
What do you mean "so"? They're opposite foods. They'd taste horrible together?
How do you know? For example, ice cream tastes great, doesn't it?
Yes, I guess it does.
Well, ice cream is made of two things, ice and cream. Ice and cream are practically opposite things.
No they're not. Besides, ice cream isn't made of ice and cream.
It's not?
No, it's not. I think your argument is getting increasingly flawed.
I think you're right. Do you even remember what we (or I) were talking about originally.
No. Do you?
No. This is getting a bit boring. Let's do something else.
Like what?
Like...play 20 Questions?
Sure. Let me just think of something ...
Got it!
Okay. Is it biotic or abiotic?
Excuse me?
Biotic means living, abiotic means not living. Not necessarily dead, just not living.
Okay. I'd have to say that it's abiotic.
Good. We (or I) can post comments again. Is it smaller than a pillow?
Yes.
Okay. I should probably number my questions so we won't lose track.
Q #3: Can it be bought for less than $10?
Yes.
Good. Q #4: Can it be bought for less than a quarter?
No.
Fqzxwbt! Q #5: Can it be bought in a store?
Yes.
Q #6: Is it all made of one substance?
Sorry, all the freaks are closed.
What?
Sorry. Inside joke. No, it is made of more than one substance.
#7: Is it found in most households?
Yes.
#8: Is it edible?
I should hope not! In other words, no.
Okay. #9? #9? #9? #9? #9?
What was that all about?
Sorry. Inside joke. #9: Can it be read?
No.
Okay. #10: Does it use electricity?
Yes! Now you're getting somewhere. Your halfway through.
Okay. #11: Is it used daily?
Yes.
Can it be used more than once?
Definitely! In other words, yes.
#13: Can it be used as a means of communication?
No.
#14: Does it give light?
Yes. You're getting really close now!
Back to the game! #15: Is it handheld?
No.
Okay. #16: Is it usually on the ceiling?
Yes. What took you so long?
I should be asking you what took you so long. We're both the same person, right?
Okay, you win. Okay, continue. You have four questions left.
Okay. I think I already know it. Q #17: is it turned on and off using a switch?
Yes. You can guess the answer now if you already know it.
Okay. Is it a light bulb?
Bingo!
Who's Bingo?
Never mind. Yes, a light bulb is correct. Do you want to play again?
Okay, but this time you think of the object, and I guess.
Okay. Let me thing of something ...
Got it!
Okay. Q #1: Is it an animal?
Yes!
Okay. Q #2: Does it have a backbone?
Yes.
Is it able to fly?
Nein! (That's German for no.)
Okay. #4: Is it a mammal?
Yes.
#5: Does it walk on four legs?
Yes. Pardon my French, but I think that was a rather [CENSCORED] bad question.
Don't use such foul language!
Well, I censcored it.
Okay, whatever. Anyway, that wasn't a bad question. Humans don't walk on four legs, and there are several categories of humans you might be thinking of.
Fine, you win. Continue.
#6: Does it weigh more than 25 pounds?
Yes.
#7: Does it weigh more than 100 pounds?
'Fraid not.
What do you mean by that?
I mean I'm afraid that it does not weigh more than 100 pounds.
Why are you afraid?
I'm not afraid! That's just an expression!
Oh, it is, is it?
Yes. It is. Now let's continue with the game.
All right. Now who was asking the questions, and who was answering them?
I forget. Let's look at the message history ...
Okay, you were asking the questions, and I was answering them.
Okay. #8: Does it eat meat?
Yes.
Okay. #9: It is in the family Felidae (Linnaeus classification system)?
No.
#10. Is it in the family Canidae (Linnaeus classification system again)?
Yes. You have used half of your questions.
No bother. I'll get it with the next few questions. Is it a dog?
Yes.
Ha! I beat your number of guesses!
What are you talking about? You're not finished yet.
What, there's more?
Of course. You don't think that I'd pick such an easy thing to guess?
I guess not? Okay, whatever. Q #12: Was the breed of dog initially bred in Europe?
Yes.
#14: Was it initally a type of hunting dog?
Yes.
Oopsies, I just goofed up. The last question was #13, not #14. I've got to start reading my messages before I send them.
#14: Was it bred on the British Isles (i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland)?
Yes.
#15: Is it an English Cocker Spaniel?
Нет!
Is that yes or no?
It means no.
Okay. #16: Is and English Springer Spaniel?
Yes.
Ha! I still beat you.
No, there's more.
What, there's more?
Yes, there is more!
What more could there be?
Like, individual dogs?
What are you crazy? I couldn't guess individual dogs!
I know. That's why I chose it.
I still think there should be a rule against it.
No rules were specified at the beginning of the game, therefore it is legal. Now continue!
Fine! #17: Is it Dixie?
Yes. How did you know that?
Since we are both the same person, our thoughts are interconnected. There I could see into your mind.
That's not fair. That's cheating!
Since no rules were specified at the beginning of the game, everything is legal. Therefore I beat your number of guesses.
Well, that's still cheating.
Well, you cheated first.
No I didn't. I played fairly. But you looked into my brain. That's definitely not allowed!
Who says so?
I say so! Oh well, let's just drop this argument. Playing 20 Questions is no fun anymore. Let's do something else.
Okay. Let's make a list of all our options.
Okay, you start.
No, you start.
No, you start.
No, you start!
No, you start!
No, you start!
No, you start!
No, you start!
Come on, you just start. Let's avoid an unnecessary argument. We only have a limited number of comments we can leave every day.
I know, isn't it annoying?
Yeah. After we leave about 30 comments, there's this sign with an exclamation mark and triangle around it. And it says in red letters, COMMENTS HAVE BEEN DISABLED ON THIS PAGE.
And then our arguments are interrupted and we have to continue the next day.
It sure breaks up our conversations. We need to have a good solid dialogue.
Yeah. I've got an idea. Let's decide an argument to argue about, and then we'll start it the first comment tomorrow.
Yeah, that's a good idea. 30 comments is enough to have a strong argument. And we won't have to worry about discontinuing our argument when we're having having a great one.
So what should our argument be about?
Let me see. How about ... the euro?
Yes! That's a great idea.
Okay, we'll start tomorrow. Now let's just leave random comments until we fill up the limit.
Okay. Hgh
