Shane

This is one of the few times when I wish I could stop time at will... and then resume it at will... with only me and my friends being unaffected by it...

I really ought to stop being lazy and start thinking about beta testers already. One isn't enough... is it? ... Well, as long as PROGRESS is being made. <strong class='bbc'>PROGRESS</strong> is a powerful force. So is determination. And having the ability to rematch an Ironhead-AI boss.

Due to financial problems, I will be unbelievably inactive. Ergo, <em class='bbc'>Hope of Shané</em> is on hold until then.

Determination beats nausea. Who'd have known...? ... Either way, PROGRESS wins. So, now I've yet to figure out two things... <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/redface2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />

<em class='bbc'>Version γ</em>... Hopefully I won't procrastinate too much!

I want opinions on this. As soon as possible. Before I release version 0.5. (Time to work on version 0.3 first...)

I feel as though the DETERMINATION DEMON has tried to possessed me and failed.

I was bored, so I did something stupid... <div class='bbc_spoiler'>
<span class='spoiler_title'>Spoiler</span> <input type='button' class='bbc_spoiler_show' value='Show' />
<div class='bbc_spoiler_wrapper'><div class='bbc_spoiler_content' style="display:none"><span rel='lightbox'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/shanescavestory/0/1-290513134007-36669.png' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></span></div></div>
</div> The result being a <em class='bbc'>victory</em> in the favour of the right-handed teenager.

Only a few days left before version 0.2 of <em class='bbc'>Hope of Shané</em> is to be released... I really ought to stop being so lazy and attempt mass dialogue modification. I won't give up. Not now, so close to 1 June. So what if I've a broken left arm? I'm a determinator! There ain't nothing I can do about my determination causing insomnia! Also, pizzas are expensive and I wish they weren't. Meanwhile, Raïevil appeared somewhere... thus ends this random status update... and I hate HTTP 500 errors. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mad:' />

<em class='bbc'>Only the brave will continue spriting with only one hand~</em>

[suffering] I hate falling of ladders. Broke my left arm on 17 May falling off a ladder when I went to go to sleep. At the moment, Taylor/Kim (her username here is Kim, but glitches prevent her from accessing this place as a member) is working on <em class='bbc'>Hope of Shané: Frost</em> until I recover. After all, I need two hands for modding, not one. Hence my sudden inactivity. Sorry... I feel useless now. And as though I disappointed everybody who thinks of me as a friend... [/suffering]

I probably should make a list of <em class='bbc'>all</em> ORGs I made from scratch/slightly modified/etc. just to keep myself busy during the drought of dialoguelessness... and yes, I know that's not a word. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':p' />

Done with the "Victorious" ORG, but... it sounds <em class='bbc'>horrible</em>. I blame that on the fact that, if I had to use the keyboard, I'd have to open On-Screen Keyboard (my wireless keyboard's batteries went dead on 10 May).

I hope I'll be able to make a good "Boss Fanfare" ORG (since the old one I'm using for when one obtains weapons in <em class='bbc'>Hope of Shané</em>)... Wish me luck if you want.

<em class='bbc'>For every attack, there is a counter-attack. For every Boredom Spell, there's a Counter Spell. For every Magic School, there is a rival. For every video game mod, there's an alternate version.</em>

At about 12:00 PM (GMT+2) I'll be posting all the dialogue of <em class='bbc'>Hope of Shané</em> at the Dragon Riders Planning Forums. I don't know when I'll get up, though, so I assume I'll be up at 12:00 PM in my time zone.

What is it with me and birthday releases? <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/redface2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />

Who would have thought that making an entire <em class='bbc'>list</em> of students at a magical school would be hard? o_o"

My fury flows free... I feel so hated... -_- My father used all the swear words that he knows of, called me that, then punched me five times, kicked me, and then threw me against a wall so hard that I heard a cracking sound... and why? Because of my mother watching <em class='bbc'>Days of Our Lives</em>. If he were to play <em class='bbc'>Far Cry 2</em>, then all the South African TV channels (except for e.tv) would have no signals, and my father doesn't give a fuck about that, he'd rather play <em class='bbc'>Far Cry 2</em> than let anyone watch television. As such, I guess that means <em class='bbc'>all</em> my projects will have to be stopped/on hold when my father's at home. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/frown2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I'll be going to Cape Town tomorrow to visit my grandmother. I *hate* jeans though. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mad:' />
