NewsI'm still a slacker.1 - 19 - 2012 -- 6:45am
Yeah. I'm slacking on my texture project. I know. I'm a bad person. I'm probably going to hell. Whatever. Fuck you guys! ...No, I'm sorry. I'm gonna try to get back on that. I really really wanna see it be 'done'. No promises. Anyway. I'm back here talking to myself because I'm totally in to the whole Minecraft thing. I'd say mostly because I'm running a server and there are actual human beings that use it, and therefore I have an obligation to real people to keep that shit working. It's a motivator. Plus I get some kind of perverse pleasure every time there's an update and I must scramble to be able to grasp and utilize the new technology before someone tries to get on the server and is like "Why is it down?" I can't stand to be unreliable. Back on track now, I'm here to share a link in regards to my Minecraft server. I needed to throw something quick and dirty together to make relevant postings in communication with these human creatures that pleasure themselves on my server. The quick and dirty came in the form of a Blogspot page (thanks, Google!). It can be viewed hyah if anyone is curious about the inner workings of my Minecraft world. And like most of my posts, this is all highly irrelevant, since no one can even get on to my server without first being approved and permitted to the white list.
SchorlCraft. And some other stuff.10 - 16 - 2011 -- 7:45pm
Hullo, my Temple. Do not despair, I haven't forgotten about you. In fact, I have actually been working on a large load of content that will be placed on my SchorlCraft page. However, I'm holding off on actually setting up the SchorlCraft page until it's done, because I would like this to be the centerpiece of that page.
What I'm working on is an entire texture pack for Minecraft. It doesn't sound like much, but it actually takes quite a lot more work and creative energy than I was expecting. It's very time consuming, and being so time consuming I'm probably not going to be done enough with it to post it up for at least a month. Probably longer. But for now I'll give you a sample of what I'm working on! If anyone has any feedback, just send me a message on Twitter (@Schorlcraft) or on the Minecraft forums (Schorl).
So, there's that. All of the faded parts are default textures that I haven't done my own version of yet. Everything else has been painted by hand in Photoshop. I'm pretty proud of myself. Once I finish this terrain file, I'll work on icons. I think those will be fun to make.
In other news, Project Zomboid suffered a major setback. They got robbed, lost two computers and a ton of new code. It's so sad, I feel really bad for those guys. I feel pretty optimistic that they'll be able to recover, but man that has to be harsh.
Also, Minecraft is up to 1.9 prerelease 4! And the game will be coming out of beta in just under a month! So excited! =D Dragons!
So much Minecraft!09 - 27 - 2011 -- 8:00am
So, it's been about a week and I haven't done anything else with the site. But I still have ideas for the SchorlCraft page formulating and festering and fermenting in my brain. I think that was enough analogies starting with the letter F. I'm thinking about it a lot.
I keep getting distracted by actually playing Minecraft, though. They keep putting out updates! The 1.8.1 patch just came out and they're already on a 1.9 pre-release, with 1.10 slated to come out soon. So, I'm consuming all of this new content at an alarming rate, and then I've got to re-texture the new stuff that's come. It's all keeping me quite distracted from WoW and City of Heroes and my website and my boyfriend and my cat and my life.
But anyway. I do really really want to put all of these Minecraft-related things on my site, so that will still happen "eventually."
Exercise! Since I got my bike, I've actually been keeping up on riding it. This has caused me to develop a slightly better relationship with our Xbox and GameCube (that's right, I haven't gotten a Wii yet, fuck off). I've been playing this fun little came called I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1. Downloaded it out of the Xbox Live market or whatever. It's in the Indie game section. Basically, you only use the joysticks, you move with one stick and shoot with the other. I plays a lot like those old space shooters, except you see your character from over head and instead of shooting asteroids and alien ships, you're shooting zombies that are surrounding you. It reminds me a lot of a little flash game that I play sometimes called Endless Zombie Rampage, which is also a lot of fun.
But anyway, back to exercise. Uh. I've been riding my bike, but I don't actually know if I've made any progress, since... it occurs to me that I don't actually own a scale. I know. I'm good at this game. So, I'm going to buy one today when I go to get a new barbecue and some other things and... I suppose I'll be able to give better updates later.
