- if you didn't know already (apparantly, I didn't do a good job with the marketing of this game), Society is the game I was working on. Society is a retro flavored, strategy game that I designed as my comment on how societies work and function. Give it a try and let me know what you thought, eh?
- although the game is pretty much ready, I wanted to point out that I spend nearly all day today getting it ready for submission for Mochi. While I've worked with Mochi before and like them quite a bit, I HAD ANOTHER HUGE PROBLEM WITH MOCHI. Basically, I spent all day trying to figure out why the sound in my game was being turned off - I knew it had to do with something related to Mochi because it only recently happened.
The game uses a Mochi Preloader, Mochi In Game Ads, Mochi Log In, and Mochi Social Services. After turning off and on all of the features and checking the results, I eventually noticed that the problem was my Mochi In Game Ads. I spent all fucking day looking at my code wondering what was wrong...
Turns out, an advertisment for Avatar that Mochi was displaying was setting the global sound OFF.
Fortunately, I couldn't find anybody else who had this problem so I got to spend all day searching for such a simple problem :)(Also, the solution is pretty simple - you have to send the SoundMixer variable to '1,' basically, do what BsBirck tells you to.)
- I'm thinking I want to redesign the site :) Um... I'm not sure if I will definitely, but I'd like to integrate a Log In system and a forum to the site. I'm pretty sure that I'm losing traffic by not having a more social site and I'd like to work on that. Unfortunately, this would require me to learn PHP - I tried looking some stuff up (and can actually understand a lot of it), I just know that it's going to take a long time to figure out - I couldn't even figure out how to log in to my MySQL server :(
- I've been slowly adding to my Flash Optimization tricks. Be sure to follow that or something...
Yeah, so that's it, for now. Check out Society and be sure to leave any comments you have on it!
