A'ight, so here comes Jam #2

In the last Jam I tried to collab with Banov and brod. Banov had something in his personal life come up, and couldn't be of any help, and later brod got a virus on his laptop. We had an awesome game involving penguins going...

That won't happen this time. I'm going to work on my own entry from the start as well as collaborate with Electron and Kris. Electron, Kris, and I just formed a group called The Atom Brothers. You shouldn't be surprised to see numerous games from The Atom Brothers in the near future. Here's the second Jam!

Psychedelic Colors, sparks, and Time freezing? I must be dreaming.

  Well, the first demo of SHOCK was released tonight, which you can play here, be sure to read the description and use the help section in the menu, it should help you out.  Ok, so the colors, sparks, and time freezing, it all comes from a new power-up I've added. :D  I hope you'll all like this effect and have fun trying out your first taste of the game, leave a comment if you'd like about the game, I'd appreciate it a lot!  Finally, some screens of those 'Psychedelic colors' I mentioned. ;D

Weekly Challenge #2

Last weeks theme was kinda hard, So here's the theme this week:

Remake

You can remake anyones game, but you need to ask for their permission!
No time limits... so yeah!

A new logo!

Since I'm awfully new here I didn't think it would be appropriate to change the logo on everyone. So That's why I'm making this post. For the new logo I made.

Here is what I made:


So anyways, I just thought you guys might be interested.


Which logo do you prefer?
The old logo
The new logo

  
pollcode.com

Update by WITS:
 I have changed the logo already, so unless anyone wishes to change the logo back to the old one, (simply comment below) the site should be done with major changes for a while. (Oh, and I cleaned up this post a bit.)

A simple addition!

Hello, my name is Nikc-Nack!
I'm a new member to Wolf Studios. My friend Electron, who is also in Wolf Studios accepted me in!

I'm a professional graphics designer with about 5 years expierience in many differant programming fields. When I was eight years old I began my first programming, learning some simple HTML. I was ready a book that I can't remember the title of, but I believe it was written by Jonah Neugiss, or something. It was a really good start for me! Not long after my jump into HTML I began interest in graphics. I started with a free program called Photo Pos Pro. Which at the time cost $30. But over this past year became freeware.
Then around the age of ten I took up visual basic 6. I dug deep into software developement and created some very useful applications. One of which I sold for $15, which isn't much, but for a ten year old. After I lingered around there for a while I ran into some of the powerful features of Visual Basic 2005, and used that for quite a while.
Then when I was 11 I finally started using Visual Basic 2010. I became very good at it and created some really great software that I use up to this day. With a few adjustments along the way. But finally visual basic got old and I needed something to learn. So then came C, I began learning C around my 12th birthday, I got decent at it, but surprisingly, at that time it bored me very much.
Then upon December of 2009 I came across this great program called Game Maker. I quickly dove in and created my first game in just a few hours. It was a simple lemmings remake that was lost in a recent computer crash. It had 2 levels and about 20 minutes of gametime. But for a first game I was proud of myself. But that wasn't enough of course so I learned GML and many other stuff to go along with game maker.
But a major BUMP came along while making games. My graphics were junk, I had to learn how to make better graphics. So I spent about a month reading up all I could on graphic design and character animations and all that great stuff. Later my friend bought adobe CS4 and gave me his CS3 EDU packet. It isn't spectacular, but I'm still loving it and learning new things every day!
What now? Well now I'm a good game maker and a member of Wolf Studios. I have increased my graphic design skill. I also am a good game maker. I have bought Game Maker 8 pro and will continue making games until it completely bores me.

Thank you,
