"College!"

Oh hey!

Soooo I'm heading off to college now! Going to get a Bachelor in Computer Science! More specifically, the Concentration of Game Software Development. Game Dev, woohoo!

"How's this going to affect your games and website?"
Quite frankly I won't have much time to keep up with the website, and Facebook and Twitter... and the skin moderation and Newgrounds and Kongregate and SoundCloud and game development and music production and... ahhHGG!! Basically I'll be relying on my friends and moderators to keep things running smoothly while I'm busy.
But don't get me wrong! I'm not going to be gone! I'll just be a bit busy, and probably on read-only mode (lol). So I'll keep in touch and still work as much as I can on games and music. I have 5 roommates, which is a huge change from my lonely quiet room in my parents' house, hahah!

"When's the Mine Blocks update?"
Hahaha, you ask that a lot! But this time it's actually a relevant question! :)
The next Mine Blocks update is 1.26.6, and it's actually a complete port to Actionscript 3.0. The reason I'm doing a port (coding the game in a new language), is that while I'm at college, my computer will have a version of Flash that doesn't support Mine Blocks. What this means for the game is that it will hopefully run faster, and unlocks the possibility of some new features that weren't possible in previous versions!
On that note, multiplayer is still far fetched even with the port to AS3. Almost every aspect of how the game works now will have to be changed for multiplayer to work. So if it ever happens, it'd have to be in a very long time. xD
I'll try to post information on @Mine_Blocks on Twitter.
 
Short answer: quite a while, sorry!

"WAAAAIT! Ludum Dare is this weekend!"
Yea, what a bummer :( I can't do Ludum Dare this weekend. This is the first Ludum Dare I missed since I started participating!
But college is much more important right now, and there is no way I can join Ludum Dare.
Instead, you should check out my friends' streams (if you're streaming for Ludum Dare, leave a comment with a link to your stream so people can check it out)!

"You owe us a game then D:<"
Lol, noooo that's not how it works! BUT! I am making a new game right now! I will announce what the game is tomorrow (Saturday (Day after this post was made))! If I have time I'll write a post about it here, first. If not then just pay attention to my Twitter account :)
But anyway I'm extremely excited about it! I've been wanting to do this for a long time and it's finally coming together! :D

"Can I donate to you to help you out during college and--"
YES PLEASE!
Hahaha, you don't have to, and I'm not asking for anything, but the recent donations from PotatoIng, The Lemon King, and (almost) Boodog were SUPER NICE! I just wanted to officially thank them in a post. Thanks guys, you don't know how much it means to me :)

Well this concludes this long post! Wish me some luck in college, and pay attention to the next post when I announce my new game!
