Hey NG! :)

Happy New Year! I wrote a post on my website about all the things I did in 2014! Graduated high school, started college (3.82 GPA on my first semester - 18 credits done!), got my license, turned 18, released 2 games, made 19 music tracks... etc etc...

Check out my 2014 post if you're interested!

Also just recently I released Snowman Slide! Thanks for your positive feedback. In a sentence, Snowman Slide is a randomly generated sliding puzzle game about a snowman who wants to be a unicorn.

Play Snowman Slide

*Drops mic* I really wanted to release at least 2 games in 2014, so I rushed Snowman Slide a bit. I do plan to make a sequel to the game (not involving snowmen), so hopefully that'll go well. :)

Lastly, I am STILL porting Mine Blocks to AS3. After about 5 months of work, here's how it's going so far, in a gif:

Whoohoo 2015's going to be awesome! Thanks Newgrounds! Thanks Tom! Thanks all 1234 of my fans here! <3

Was Mine Blocks in AS2?
And I hope I see a lot of games from you this year.

Mine Blocks was originally created using Macromedia Flash 8, where AS3 wasn't supported.
Less than a year after starting Mine Blocks, I got my hands on Adobe Flash CS5.5 and started Mine Blocks 2 in order to code it in AS3. However, Mine Blocks 2 turned into its own project and now I'm left porting Mine Blocks to AS3 completely!
TL;DR yes :)

And thanks! I hope I can release a lot of neat games this year too!

Planning to do many game jams in 2015? You always make cool stuff for those!

I sure hope I can! It depends really on how much time I have during those Jam weekends.

I missed Ludum Dare in August because university was starting that day. And Snowman Slide was submitted for the 72 hour Jam because of lack of time available (didn't even think I was going to join, but I ended up inventing that random puzzle generator during the competition!).

Thank you! I promise to do my best! :)
