Some links

30 Nov

Hi guys!

I’ve been absent, but so you all know that I’m still alive, I’d like to share some links I’ve found around the interwebz!

First off, something awesome: A link to a Gallifreyan translator! For those that don’t know, Gallifreyan is the language of Gallifrey, Doctor Who’s home world… Yep, this is a geek as you can get… Gallifreyan looks pretty cool… Here’s my name:

Diogo de Andrade Gallifrey

Awesome, isn’t it?! Smile

I know the language is basic alphabet substitution, arranged with some mathematical logic inside a circle, but it just looks gorgeous!

Link number 2, a game: Skrillexquest. It is endorsed by the dubstep artist Skrillex (which I quite enjoy, I admit), and it features his music mashed up with a 3d Zelda concept, in a corrupted 8-bit world… I actually like the aesthetics more than the music (although I like Skrillex, I don’t think the music fits that world). It’s a quite short game, and you can play it on the browser, so go for it!

Finally, me and Rincewind are probably going to take part in the Indie Speed Run 48-hour competition. While similar to the Ludum Dare competitions, it has some differences that are interesting (you can use previous code, you can choose the 48-hours you’re going to work on the game which prevents scheduling issues), but best of all, it’s going to be judged by the likes of Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island), Markus Persson (Minecraft) and Ben Croshaw (Zero Punctuation), amongst others I don’t know that well… So I’m excited about that, and I’m trying to clear 48 hours of my life for this…

Catch you guys later!
