Zombie Creator
Happy Halloween everyone :)
My gift to you is Zombie Creator dot com! Turn your usually beautiful face into a decrepit zombie :)
Made with ZombieCreator.com
Also check it out on newgrounds if you’re of the voting type: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/552036
I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s creations in the gallery. Really cool to see some people use this :)
There’s still lots to be done with the website PHP stuff and adding more zombie features. I’m hoping to at least commit to adding a few new things each week. I owe it to the horde.
Commando Drop
A game I worked on has dropped onto newgrounds. Check it out here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/552040
It’s like pacman except you pick up guns and knives to take out enemy soldiers and then you steal the gold! I based the enemy movements on the way the ghosts move in pacman, I can’t find the link to the article right now but I’ll post as soon as I do. It’s very interesting and simple to achieve.
I made it for cutefreegames.com, a buddies’ site, check that out here: http://www.cutefreegames.com
If there’s one thing I’ll definitely do better with the next one it’s the level designs. It ended up a bit rushed but I’ll make up for it with the next one :)
Sketch Mine
Ack! Sketch Mine is completely wrecked. I don’t really have time to stuff around with buddy press so I’m going to slash and burn the site and start it again fresh the way I originally planned it to be. No signing up for anything, just uploading your sketches without signing up for another website. I might make it a facebook connect site? We’ll see how we go with time.
Other news. We had a baby! (nine months ago) It’s a boy!
So not much time to work on any fun projects, but getting better organised every day :)
Art
I’m moving all my art here: http://sketchmine.com/members/thistler/album/
SketchMine is a new website that is especially for lo-fi art. No photoshopping, no CG at all.
Tony Abbott is Iron Man
This will make more sense to people who are from Australia, but if you’re not from Australia, you might still get a laugh from this site: pollyROFL.com

uploading content
I’ve started to move games across from the old layout. This might take a little while, but it will be worth it to have all content in the once place finally! I’ll be setting up a redirect of all the old URLs, in the meantime, play some clown killer! :)
P.S. If anyone knows how I can change the wordpress URLs to look more like this: thistler.net/games/clown-killer , would be eternally grateful for advice.
Seem to have figured it out. Onwards and upwards!
site backup
In all the excitement of moving servers I forgot to move the old site. I’ve been noticing a lot of 404 errors from people linking to the old site, so I’ve left it up for prosperity. You can access it here.

Hello world!
Here I am. Finally going to have a website happening again! Give me a few days to re-skin and upload all the content. Lot’s of projects have been worked on since last time we met :)
In the meantime, here’s a picture I took today to try and win Heavy Rain on Kotaku:
