06:17 pm - Its All...Part of the Plan
Ok, now lets return back to our normally schedueled programming after I had to yell at Death yet again.
Here are some future plans that I am going to work on this month and next month, hell even in a few days.
-- Trick Ciggarettes. I am slowly searching and gathering resources to build and test them out. Open Beta testing will begin by pretending to be the spokesperson of a tobacco company giving out free samples of new product and the results will be recorded candid camera style. If all works well, I will make a video on how to make these things.
-- Stand-Up Return. I am scoping out open mic-night venues to get back into the joke telling this month.
-- New game information. Depending on how my talk with Matt will go, we may scrap Cleff and work on a whole new more arcade-like game about skateboarding.
-- Hacker Talk Prep. Working on an outline for two talks I want to debute in 2010: "Why So Serious? An introduction to the Hacker World via Batman" and "Video Game Homebrew VS Piracy". After prep work is all done I will go on tour to as many hacker cons as I can to present these two talks.
-- RFID @ GDC. The idea is at the Game Developers Confrence next year, I want the AMD project people to work with the con game people to make RFID Badges like at The Last Hope but with better tech and designed for the con game. Normally they do pen & paper stuff but I think it would be cool to have point games of tag and stuff going on at the con using the RFID. Plus the space is so huge it would be a good way to find people you are looking for. My only request is that I design the game, we all get credit, and we have a panel at the end of the con to explain how we did it and to give out the rewards to the best players.
-- Furry Confidential. This is the biggest thing I am working on that will take me I think until the beginging of next year to do this. I am going to, after years of people at FAOD not doing this with me, my own furry magazine. The design of it is going to be similar to 2600 Magazine: A small notebook sized magazine filled with stuff that has an edgy and unauthorised feel. The hopefully design will be an opening statement by me, a bunch of articles and stories filling it out and a center art gallery of clean and adult art. I hope to cover all topics about furries and socity such as: Furry and National Headlines, Interviews, Perspectives, Philosophy, Politics, Animal Spirituality, Fur Suiting, Baby Fur Perspective, Second Life Reports and Triva & Games. I plan on doing some of the stuff in this but I will be recruiting people to do articles and art, more so the articles than the art part. I also have a plan for distrobution and sales: It will be a quarterly magazine like 2600 and most of the articles and artwork will be archived online for free. The paid version will arive 2 weeks to a month ahead of the internet version with exclusive articles, art and the mail bag section only found in the print edition.
Pray for me that one of these things will work out at one point.

i'm voting for the trick smokes. that would be hysterical.
Trick smokes = awesome, but you'll probably get the shit kicked out of you because smokers are generally tetchy bitches when you screw with their addiction.
Um, just how much budget are you talking about here for the RFID game project? You do know that the RFID tags used in HopeAMD cost Mitch Altman $10,000, most of which he did NOT make back from ticket sales...right?
Those tags cost money, the readers ($150 each) will need to be loaned by the Germans (who needs detailed, actionable plans), and you'll need hardware to run servers and stuff. Give this a good think-through first. |
