Curses! Foiled!

…but that should be obvious! (even though it was brand new…)

Turns out it was a dodgy stick of RAM that was causing all of my problems, but a fresh OS install is never a bad thing!

I’ve probably said this three or four times now, but Biddie crisis has music! yay! I actually have more music than I thought I would, so multiple track select ahoy!

Gamemaker is also behaving itself now, too, so everything is back on track. I’m probably going to regret saying this, but I’d say its only a few days away now

Today I formatted my PC in the hope that it would fix the recent problems I’ve been having, such as random crashes, Gamemaker games not loading properly and other random crap. Unfortunatly it hasn’t solved any of these problems, so I’m led to believe some of my hardware is on its way out- I just don’t know what. So! It looks like I’m going to have to finish off Biddie Crisis on the computer downstairs and work on any other games I make using Gamemaker 6 (I only seem to have the problem in Gamemaker 7).

For the 4 people that actually know what Biddie Crisis is, sorry for the delays!

Good news is the music is done, so now its just a matter of putting it all together and releasing it, yay!

Okay, so the good news is I have music being made for Biddie Crisis now, by several people in fact,  so I think there will be a music select screen or a randomiser etc.

The bad news is my computer is being a tit right now, well, and gamemaker 7. Gamemaker decided to corrupt my main game file, but luckily the backup file works okay. There’s still a problem though, Gamemaker seems to randomly stop loading the game when I try and test it. I tried it with some of my other games and the same thing happens, so its not the biddie crisis game file thats the problem. I also don’t think its Gamemakers problem as I’ve reinstalled it about 3 times now. My computer has been randomly rebooting with different bluescreen errors the past couple of months, so I’m sure its all related somehow. Not to worry though, I’m totally going to format my PC tomorrow and do a fresh install of windows. Hopefully this won’t cause too much of a delay to Biddie crisis!

Lets see how long I can keep my computer clutter-free this time, I always promise myself I won’t let it happen, but it never works

Biddie Crisis is pretty much ready. At the moment I’m in the process of looking for someone to do some music tracks for the game, but it’s been difficult as I wasn’t entirely sure what style I wanted. I originally wanted something rock-ish with guitars and all that badass stuff, but it’s proven a bit difficult finding someone who can make that kind of music, so I think I’m going with drum ‘n bass/breakbeat for now. As soon as I’ve got the music for it I can release the game.

I’m running a bit late with releasing Biddie Crisis as I’ve been away for a few days, it shouldn’t be much longer, though!
