Hey Everyone!
It's pretty nice being back in CA. My brother is in time so it's great getting to spend time with him again, hes an awesome person inside and out, and great at ps3 lol
So I have been working on graphics for the really cool project I've been co working on.
I am also teaching this summer. 3 classes a day for weeks straight!
It's going to be exciting, because it's pushing me to really up my skills as well as the opportunity to meet a bunch of great kids. They always improve so much themselves and its so awesome to be able to be apart of that. just to show someone that they have to ability and talent to do something they might not of thought they were great at, or showing someone a new hobby or way of looking at something is awesome!
I am also getting one of my games on the cool yoo-mee platform which is completely exciting and a fun way of exposing mygameline.com and the games I love to make to a new and wider audience!
So I'm pretty busy this summer! but i'm happy and going to push myself to new places in my drawing, programming, and mental abilities!
I hope that you do not give up on whatever it is you are trying to improve on, and keep believe in yourselves. I believe in you :D
Have a great day!

sooooo
What happened to that every wednesday thing?
isn't it so funny how humans can just not do a simple thing, like writing a blog.
I was thinking, shoot! I didnt write a blog lol. then I thought, well.. now I feel bad.
then I thought, i'll just avoid it lol.
then it was on my mind every time I went to the site!
and then I just broke down, so here I am. Sorry!
I am thinking it's a beautiful day, I am feeling very well, and I have some programming to do!
I will be teaching again this summer, It's sort of like a whirlwind how it all happened.
Watching my friends house and animals while shes away on vacation with her grandmother,
I am very happy to say that I have been actually really busy since I've come back to california.
Which reminds me, I moved back to california, to teach of course. and then I thought, I'm not going back to NY lol. it was great out there, but now I'm going to move to a new place. for a couple of months, I already know exactly where. I'm really excited.
Still working with knarrenheinz on a game, He's busy coding away, I'm supplying the artwork.. although with teaching and all of these shenanigans I'm not really doing the best job.
still have a couple of cool projects in my head, some near completion!
So grateful for all of the new visitors! and the return visits! you guys are great!
so thanks a bunch and well, you rock!
Happy to keep up with the site and supplying you with all of the latest fun flash games!

Wednesday is writing day!

2010-05-19T13:31:00.000-07:00

hehe,
So I have decided to write once a week, well what day you ask?
Wednesday!
They both start with W and so yea. haha I think that's reason enough.
So I have been looking around at everything and really noticing the importance of being satisfied and happy with where you are.
it's so important that we feel good about life and ourselves, so that good things will continue to come.
and when they do be grateful! even if you think its not at the level you had hoped, be happy about what happened and imagine it where you want it to be! you never know what can happen with anything, and everything can always change in an instant :D
So make sure to be grateful and happy and imagine the future how you'd like it to be :D

I put spaceship defender on newgrounds and kongregate,
Looking forward to seeing what people think about it!
tomorrow I'm going to start emailing it to tons of other portals as well.

I really love the game and excited to see where it goes!
I love where I am, I am happy where I am, and I'm eager for the future!

One more thing, its very important in all of this to learn to chill out and go with the flow.
everything is taken care of, you can't force anything to happen.

Well everyone, I'm working on another game right now, as well as a cool game with Jens.
I am looking forward to having a great rest of the month and make the most of it that I can and more.

Hope you are having a great day.

Here's the deal haha

2010-05-15T13:26:00.000-07:00

hiatus

2009-12-22T12:52:00.001-08:00

hey everyone!

christmas is upon us x_x

hahaha ok. so i'm going to arkansas and won't have an internet connection out there. so i want you to know i'm not neglecting the site, I just most likely wont have any connection.

Now i'm off to arkansas. not excited about the drive. but excited to go down there. it is super fun being there because my grandma friend has this huge ranch with all these great animals and stuff so i'm excited!

ok have a great holiday!

Talk to you all later!

belief / faith

2009-12-18T09:54:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone got a new game up

in the shooting section called robin the mercenary
http://www.mygameline.com/shootinggames/robinthemercenary.htm

Cool platformer. move arrows x shoot space fire

I was thinking about believing and having faith ect
I think we all think of it a bit differently and there comes a point in your life when you can't really believe so i guess you have faith.
thats is what some people call the evidence of things hoped for.
maybe its just a wall of hope to hide behind so that you can have a way out when things dont work out.
but really i dont think thats the best way to go about it.
When you have faith its maybe even more than believing. I think its when you say I dont know how its going to happen. but I know it will..
When you believe in something its more of you know its possible. you can see exactly how it will happen and its easy to believe
but when you have faith its saying
I dont know whats happening haha.
I dont know how i'm going to get through this or get where i'd hoped but thats the best part
because I guess. well we dont have to figure it out.
all we have to do is believe..er have faith!
that is all for now. just a thought :)

happy holidays

2009-12-17T09:32:00.000-08:00

hey everyone,
I've got a lot of exciting things going on on my end of the universe

There are lots of things i want to get incorporated in the site so i'm pretty stoked about it all i just want to make sure to implement everything correctly.
I wonder how everyone out there is doing. I wonder what you all think about and who sees this!
I am going to be going to arkansas with my family to visit my Oma (gradma in german)
and then fly back to NYC for new years and to start my new years in my new home.

looking over the edge / on the verge

2009-07-08T14:51:00.000-07:00

i'm starting to look at myself,
taking a cold hard look and i'm thinking what am i doing?
i feel like everything is like a part.
there all floating around and each part is becoming strong
but they can never be stable if they don't merge together to become a whole
i was thinking
i used to have this extreme vision for myGameline.com
when i first was designing the site and had the games and these
specific characters in mind
the games were not great
and the site looked pretty bad..
and the logo was just no good. lol
but i didn't seem that way to me.
everything complemented each other
it was very cohesive i think the word is.
the games fit in with the site
and the colors and everything
i had a vision is what i'm getting at
i had a complete vision
i don't want to say it's fading
but it is difficult
i guess i'm hoping to find my ambition again..
i'm determined i'm lacking ambition.

i want to ride my bicycle i want to ride my biiiiike!

2009-07-06T13:16:00.000-07:00

i bought a bike lol.
it is so fun to ride
it's name is ranger as it is a schwinn ranger lol
i really like it and think its so fun to ride around and get exercise in!
also, i was reading an interview of bjork in interview magazine, and after the whole interview
she was like there is one last thing i'd like to share with the world
riding your bike and listening to an ipod shuffle!
i was like i love you bjork lol i just bought a bike! now all i need is an ipod shuffle!
my cousins b day is soon so i got him a coool present
well we all did.
and now i'm free all week to update the site and get it running lol whoo it's hard work!
and then i'll be able to release it.
i had to buy tires for my car today and a new rim
it was so expensive x_x
and now i can't wait to go home and ride my bike. update the site. and then sleeeeeeeeeep.
i'm so tired haha
this was a long 4th of july weekend.
i sat on the roof and watched fire works
wonder what all of you did?
hope it was fun!

oops lol

2009-07-01T12:56:00.000-07:00

so yeaaaa llollll this is taking so much longer than i thought.
i had to make teaching my priority.. so i've been working on the students handouts and packets ect.
all day everyday. and teaching. even though this class is only 2 hours. waking up at 6, getting everything prepared, drawing on that board all day, and then going to each individual student and drawing the very same thing again on there paper gets extremely exhausting. but i know that the students appreciate it and that makes it all worth while :)
i'm not giving up on this site tho!
i'm going to make this site into a portal if it's the last thing i do!!!.. er.. or something like that!
.

new new. newnewnew new new. new.

2009-06-23T13:35:00.000-07:00

ok so keeping with the idea it is time to grow.
i've never wanted mygameline.com to be a full on game studio.
i've been running from it's true destiny.
it's like a little flower and i'm blocking all the sunlight from it.
i've jsut gotta let it grow!
LOL :P
but seriously
we are now going to host and feature other peoples games along with our own.
we will have an exclusive section which will have the all myGameline.com games.
plus i want to start making cool mini sites for some of the more special in depth games
like interpets. and more to come.
also a good friend of mine and i are always talking about working together on the site but we never get around to it or have ourselves organized well enough to really get anything together.
but now we know what the future of the site holds, he has some great input and ideas for the site as well as the games.
another way its gonna be great workign with someone is i have the idea there i just feel that i execute it incorrectly at times. i know that nik will be able to offer very valuable input on how to make the games really shine!

i've got some really fun things that i would like to implement into the site also that will add the community aspect to the site, as well as getting everything together with getting interpets multiplayerrr haha i know i say it all the time but this time its gonna happen lol

so now i'm thinking hmm
the future of the site looks bright!
we are becomming a portal so there will be tons of flash games on there, from lots of talented developers, got a new addition to the myGameline.com development team.
and lots of cool site updates that will keep things fresh new and fun everyday!

time to grow.

2009-05-21T15:05:00.000-07:00

ok
so my friend and i are talking.
and shes telling me eric you need to start putting your complete heart and soul into your work.
if your going to make these types of games you need to completely be yourself and take time on them! take months if you have to and make them good!
and while that sounds like ..well duh!
its really really true!
I need to start putting my all into my work you know. i've got to start really just making it so that when i make a game. first i need to not be afraid what other people think, and i've got to just sit down, not worry about what other games are out there. or whats been done because its never going to be the same anyways and make finished, fun, polished products.
everyone.. lol
you've got to be yourself
whatever you have is what you've got
and you need to be able to show that too the world without shame
no matter what it is as long as it's sincere and not harming anyone.
than you shouldn't be afraid what other people will think of you
and you need to put your heart and soul into whatever it is your producing.
we're all special people
we all have something special to give no matter how simple it seems or whatever lol
it's not simple
it's amazing, and well i guess you , me , we've
got to believe in ourselves.
thats what i've gathered at least.
so well.
it's time for me to grow and i hope you feel inspired to also!

the menu

2009-05-20T13:37:00.000-07:00

so today i have to go to my little cousins choir concert
she texts me at like 7:30 in the morning with this big ol long text and i'm just like oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooo lol. this can't be happeningggg
and i text her back like 10 minutes later and i'm like.. sure lol
then i just close my eyes to go back to sleep and my phone starts ringing all loud again and i'm like ahhhhhhhhh haha i look at it and all she texts me back is .. k.
lol i'm like why why why hyhy so i'm laying back down and like an hour later her sister freaking texts me lol and it's some dumb chain text message picture mail thing lol and i'm just like i knew i shoulda just got up when i got the first text i just knew it.
but i'm like i'm so tired.. i have to go back to beddd.. and then i say i'm just gonna sleep until my alarm goes off. and then i lay my head back on the pillow and i feel just perfect and i swear just as my eyes close my alarms like WAKE UPP!!!! haha and i'm like nooooooo i don't want to go to work! but well i'm thankful to have a job...
haha so there is my funny story for the day.

i'm going to be teaching 3 classes this summer weeeeeeeeeeee
so if you live in southern california look it up!
were going to be learning how to draw manga
create animations with flash
and program our own video gamesss
its always fun and its for ages 7 to 18

lastly i'm thinking man
i've got to get another game out
so i've gotten one written up
it's a platfomer, collector, upgrader type game
its kind of like monster hunter it's gonna be good though.
trust me.
i really see this game from start to finish too so that makes me happy.
i'm really hopefull it will get sponsored cuz it's just gonna look and play
and be great.
i have so much to say but i'll save it for another blog
don't want to rambleee
:)

on my mind lately

2009-05-14T10:08:00.001-07:00

lately i've started playing my ds again.
and i am remembering all over again why i love games,
why i want to make games,
and what it is that makes them fun.
I know that i'm working on a fighting game right now,
but at the moment I want to concentrate on getting some more action games out.
get things on a roll.
i have these ideas, and then they evolve into these crazy ideas
and i don't really want to do that right now.
i'm keeping the crazy ideas into my subconscience so they can become super! crazy ideas with structure.
but i'm keeping the base ideas for games and just going to work on them.
i want to do some more run, jump, shoot, collect, task type games.
i think it will bring in a new audience too.
I really hope i can find some good music guy soon. thats what i really want is to figure out what to do about music right now.

there's always this one little thing

2009-05-13T12:40:00.001-07:00

that stands between you and where you want to be.
the fear..
but the fear of what?
rejection?
not being good enough?
realizing you were wrong?
putting yourself out there?

well.. this invisible wall may be quite hard to scale.
but once you step over it, you see how small it really was
and you see that hearing no isn't really that bad
and you see that your better now than you ever were
whether things turn out how you imagined or not.
you never know what you've just set up.
you never know what you've just put into motion.

Bedazzled

2009-05-04T14:29:00.000-07:00

So there is a new puzzle game up called bedazzled
it's fun!
go play it!

I'm working on a fighting game right now!
i've had this vision for a fighting game and now i want to create it!
i have all of these wierd, and crazy characters i've designed
but i'm always so fearful to make the games that actually revolve around them!
especially as i'm making myself known for these "cute" type games.
i love innocence.
i'm an innocent person ^^
but like everyone i have another side
more mysterious
and i almost feel that by making these games
i'll taint mygameline.com!
it's like putting a biker in a prep school or something
there just not going to fit in there so right.
i'm almost thinking of making a side site to go along mygameline.com
that would have a bit more mature game geared towards a different audience?
i dont' know we'll see..
i'm going to ease my way into the more graphic game
with this fighting game.
notice i said easeee haha as i am going to be still using a character that has nice soft round shapes as the fighter.
it's gonna be a hit!
thanks everyone keep coming back to the site!
i'm cranking the games out!

New Game Bubble Poppers Deluxe

2009-04-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

ok so first let me say i made a new game called bubble poppers deluxe!
i really like it and i set out to challenge myself when i made this gameeee haha.
ok so just so everyone knows. it's not perfect and i know that. i didn't make it exactly like the classic but whatever! i'm happy with what i achieved and it kind of takes a new spin on the old classic. so it's an oldie but goodie game.
what can i say. one day i'm going to be a super expert programmer who just thinks. and things just manifest into existence lol hahaha but until then i'm improving every day and happy with what i can come up with. i love looking back and being able to do things i could before, and i love knowing that i've improveddd!
so there you have it. i hope you enjoy the game and there is one person from greece named Elna who saves her score everyday and i watch her score just get higher and higher and she almost has the top spot now.
it's funny i was playing and trying to get on the top score board, but i just couldnt! haha so finally at 12:00 i submitted my score and i was like yes! i'm gonna be the first to submit my score so i'm gonna be in the top players! then freakin ELNA! like 2 seconds before me submitted her score and she beat me! hahaha so ever since that night i've been following her score hahaha
funny story.
i love when people play the games! it makes me sooooooooooo happy!
thank you every one
enjoy !

New Game

2009-04-03T11:51:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone
I made a new game it's call Spectral Samurai!
enemies run at you from the right and you slash them by hitting the key on the keyboard that is the same as the arrow above there head!
it's kind of like a mix of ddr and god of war i'd say.
well i hope you guys like it!
Have fun

click here to play spectral samurai

f u t u r e e e e e e

2009-03-18T11:39:00.000-07:00

you ever just think about what you want for yourself and the future and you just can't wait!?
i am working on a very cooooooooool game
waiting to release another one.
and have a couple ideas for some gooodddd ones!
i'm also thinking everything is going to come into perspective on how i can get things together with my "BIG IDEA"
i can see a vision for it, and i can see it's happening.
although most times it doesnt' really happen exactly how you try and envision it.
but i think this time it really is!
so now i'm thinking.
it's time to get people excited about my site.
it's time to get some awesome games released.
and it's time to just take ahold of the future
and make things work!

drastic measures

2009-03-11T14:18:00.000-07:00

i have this feeling. that i need to quit my job in order to become what i want to become lol.
i know. it sounds crazy, and intimidating, and even a bit selfish on my part... but I am so sure that I want to make flash games, and i know i have to potential to do this full time. but as i get older, i'm loosing my motivation to balance my life between job, work, and play. I know that if i were to work on my games full time i would have the opportunity to prove to myself that i have what i takes and can do thisss!
but you know. sure theres always that small chance that i'd end up in a bad position.
theres always that chance that i'll end up in a better place
and theres always of course the fear that you aren't making the right decision.
but it's something thats been on my mind a lot lately!

San Fran Soon

2009-03-09T13:00:00.000-07:00

There is a GDC in san fransisco. It's a bit of a drive. but i'm thinking that it's something i really want to attend and it's something i think i should attend. I'm looking forward to working with mochi at there booth, and all of the people i'm going to meet, and the thing i'm going to learn! I will also get to see one of my best friends i havn't got to see in a long time named breezy! well i nicknamed her that. anyway.
i have some simple game ideas, and i sort of get discouraged from the idea of making them because well i wonder if it's really worth it you know? like if it's just for fun and not really like i'm not trying to become famous from it whats the point. like i dont' want it to seem like i'm just putting filler games on my site. because i do not want that! anyway. everyone. i'm excited about san fran. i think i'm going to have sooo much fun. and i'm excited about the game i'm currently working on cuz it's amazing lol no seriously like it just looks sooo cool you guys will love it.
alrighty then ttyl!

Game Update

2009-03-08T22:55:00.000-07:00

Ok! so i guess that my last game was just a weee bit difficult yes? haha well i've put it on newgrounds and got some really good feedback. so i didn't get rid of the clouds but i just made it so they pop up and you have some time to kill them lol before they make there way to the top of the screen. and they all go the same speed now! i think it works wayyy better that way! so check it out if you havn't already! thanks everyone!

Oh! and loook out for a new game to be released next week!
thanks everyone!
oh! and i'm working on a sickkkk game right now your all sure to l-o-v-e! seriously it's action packed so cool and more of a game that i've been wanting to make!
so yea! ttyl
for real this time!
haha wait! oh! haha jk!

working on

2009-03-05T14:56:00.001-08:00

i have been working on this game. i feel it's a great idea. but i can't really figure out how i want the character design and everything to be.. so what i'm going to do. is make a smaller toned down version. i have a full vision for this game and know that it will work out beauitifully so i'm excited. i'm sure it's only going to take around a week to make too. so i should have it done bye next friday! i'm also releasing a realllyyyy coolll game next week so i'm excited!!!
ttyl!
Eric

ok i'll break!

2009-03-04T10:39:00.000-08:00

so yea haha
i put up the up up and away on newgrounds and people really liked it
but they said the clouds gotta go! lol
so sorry the clouds aren't gonna go.
but i'm going to make them move much more slowly lol
all at the same speed
and i'm going to make it so you can press space bar to get off the clouds! or i might keep it to down. lol anyway that is the improvement or maybe i'll get rid of the clouds haha! but i think there so cute.
but i guess that doesn't matter. they add the frustration element. the randomness the unpredictably of life! you dont' know when obstacles are ahead of you in the future. but i think people want games to be predictable - or a little bit less frustrating.
so do i keep with the idea that. i wanted this game to be exactly what it is?
hard as heck?!
or do i say hey you know i'm going to give the people what they want?
i think i should please all of you guys and keep the clouds in the sky but not in the game. haha
hmmmmm
...
ahhh!!!!

New Game

2009-03-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,
I posted up a new game it's called Up, Up & Away.
In this game you follow the story of a little red balloon who is trying to make his way back to his best friend.
This is a very challenging game. each level has a very specific strategy to beating it and you have to just try! it can get frustrating which i think gives the game a lot of character and replay value. I think that sometimes games shouldn't be all simple and mindless. i think that sometimes you need to be challenged you need to not give up, you need to just see if you have what it takes! and well here is a game to do that. and once you beat it.
ohh let me tell you
the satisfaction you will feel! the ending movie! it's great! you'll love it!
and the game!
so you know what to do..
Now Go Play!!

oops

2009-03-02T13:41:00.000-08:00

yea i'm bad.
i thought i had this "idea" lol to put up a game every friday.
but you know what happened? not gonna lie.
i forgot!
haha! oops! i just totally didn't put it up.
and today i was looking at my comp. and i was like *click* ah! i was supposed to put out a new game last week!
i'm dumb. it's not that i don't have them done it's that i was silly and literally forgot.
man i'm a bit behind schedule.
so anywho look out for a new game today friendssss!
eric.

InterPets in Suspended animation!

2009-02-25T22:08:00.000-08:00

Well I think i posted before that the server mygameline was on was in a tragic fire. I feel so bad that the friend of the family that was hosting the site on his server had to lose his house... Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

so. the other day i was at work (u needed to hear that first haha) wait! back track. did any of you see that for about a week mygameline.com was just down?! well that was why.
anyway. i'm at work today and my co-worker says eric! my InterPet won't grow! why isn't it growing?! it had been going on for a while now, so she asked me if she needed to get a new interpet. and i thought. hmmm lol why isn't it growing?
and then CLICK! it hits me! the server burned down! all of the files interpets was using were gone! so i'm pretty sure its fixed now! if you have an interpet and it's not growing thats why! but the cool thing is. if you don't wanna start over you can have an interpets that didn't grow for awhile! it should start growing now tho!
haha!

so i've got this idea

2009-02-23T12:39:00.000-08:00

I'm going to start releasing a game every friday. haha
This will make sure that i hold to actually getting things done.
i've got two to release.
one this week
one next week
and after that i'll be able to you know uhm whats the word i'm looking for
ah yes
well this will bye me time to get more things done haha.
i'm ready to just be freely creative and just get things doneee!
i have lots of energy just swirling around my brain and finger tips
and now to just channel it! like a laser beam! lol
a mental razor blade
sharp!
ready!
determined!
so there you have it
i've got this idea
to release a new game
every friday :)
(now lets just see if i can stick to that..)

the future

2009-02-20T12:54:00.000-08:00

I have lost lots of my motivation to work on things in the past. but recently i've come to terms with the fact that, as long as i'm happy with what i'm creating, and trying my best to improve, and actually get projects done. then that is enough. i can't help but dream about the future though, and hope for the best for myGameline.com. I think if you asked me right now what i want for the site.
I would want all different types of people to play games on my site.
I want to add more community type things and feels to the site.
I want to integrate lots of fun bonuses and features to playing games on the site.
I want the site to always be improving and drawing more people.
i want to find my niche on the web.
and i want my site of course to growww
i'm excited about the future.
and thankful to people playing my games
=)

N e w ! !

2009-02-19T11:55:00.000-08:00

dreaming

2008-12-09T10:39:00.001-08:00

i have this saying it's
dream or die
and i truly believe
that if your not dreaming
or thinking about what you want for the future
or having hopes and trying to reach your goals.
your dying.
i truly believe that working towards something
and having hopes for the future is the only
thing that keeps us going sometimes
even if its only wanting to see your children off to school
or grandchildren even
or if it's graduating, or retiring! whatever it is
we all have goals for our lives
and we can't think about not reaching them sometimes.
i am so excited to be working on my site all of the time.
but right now my dream is to do it full time.
i've really been looking around and thinking that
i'm going to do this.
i'm so grateful to everyone who signs up on the site.
and who makes a user account.
i am so thankful to you guys!
i'm so thankful for everyone who plays my games
and i'm so happy that people actually visit the site
my dream is to make games full time soon
and i think that is the path i'm heading towards
and it's quite a good feeling.
if you never give up on yourself
you will definately find
that you will be given what your
hoping for.
it just takes
hard work, determination, and faith.
you can get anywhere with those three things!
-eric

thinking

2008-12-04T13:34:00.000-08:00

i've been thinking alot
i'm happy with my site hee hee
i think it's really somethign i can grow with
and that makes me so happy.
i still have some little changes i would like to make.
but it's fun thinking of little improvements i'd like to make
on this existing site
instead of you know making a whole brand new one
also
i've been thinking alot
some people are just going at there dreams alone
and some people have partners or a nice group of people
to work with
i am hoping to find a really cool programmer
and maybe another artist to work with.
if you think that you are an amazing programmer
and like to think outside the box with your code
please message me
i'd love to hear from you!!
mygameline@mail.com

uhm so yea thats what i've been thinking about site wise
lately.
i just want to continue making things and updates with the site
and i want to find an awesome programmer to collaborate with!
hope everyone is having a good day!

Advent Calendar

2008-12-04T00:53:00.000-08:00

So i've been working on this Advent Calendar, and while it is very fun, it is very challenging! I'm mostly trying to look around and be inspired by the emotions i see people expressing, or the lack there of, and build an idea around it. It may be more abstract but it still is meant to convey that there are lots of ways to look at feelings and that there are lots of ways to express them! I really hope that everyone enjoys the Advent Calendar, and I'm doing my best to keep up with making each card each day! today i didn't have an internet connection so i couldnt' post day 3 until the end of the day. but it's funny that the word for day 3 was patience so even tho you had to wait all day, thanks for being patient! haha! so yeaup thank you everyone. and here is the link to check it out!

Click here to see the Advent Calendar

New site yet again.

2008-12-01T22:20:00.000-08:00

I have released a new site and i'm happy with it.
as for the things on the site lol
uhm well we still have our three games.
i have two more finished and working on one for a contest at mochiAds.
also as for p.y.p.
i can't rush things haha. i will not rush things so it's not time yet!
but it will be soon
also i'm throwing a really simple contest together
so i can't wait to have that released
ok everyone.
thanks for bearing with me and visiting the site!
Eric!

being courageous

2008-11-14T10:15:00.000-08:00

I think that there is a time in all of our lives
were we see that we need to come to a decision
to press forward with our ideas
or to back down
see the problem with both
is that there is a chance of failure
one possible
one definite
and after that you must ask yourself
which are you most willing to live with
the feeling of regret
or loss of pride.
but you see
i think that the right attitude
and plan about something
will generate the courage you need
to press forward
it is important to see any attempt
at something your hoping for
as a success
i'm doing my best to be courageous
i want to make a difference in the world
i want my myGameline.com to help people
and i know it can and will be
done!

updates

2008-11-09T21:10:00.000-08:00

the site is finished now.
i just need to upload it.
a couple of fixes i'd like to make
and also i'm going to release soon what p.y.p is all about
and i got the game engine done for one of my christmas games
and will be finishing up the second hopefully by tomorrow.
i'm pretty stoked about it all
the site and games
and what will hopefully come about from it.
also i'm going to be finishing up the new interpets game
and started on a fun game
that involves all of the characters
plus some new one
in one game.
it should be fun!
i'm excited.
keep posted!
Eric

Preview!

2008-11-08T11:41:00.000-08:00

Here is a small preview of the new site!
Hope you all like it

working on

2008-11-07T12:13:00.000-08:00

some christmas games, and my new site. i love it. i'm really happy with it. i know i'm going to like it live too. i feel like this site will grow with me. and it is fun! it's bright it's a monochromatic color scheme (all blue haha) and it's gonna be fun so today when i get home from work i'm totally gonna finish it up! i'm really excited about it if you can't tell lol

plans for november

2008-11-04T12:36:00.000-08:00

Ok so believe it or not.
i am going to change up the look of the site just a bit again.
i know i know i'm bad haha
i pay wayy too much attention to detail and i know that i can
do better.
so i started on a new site design which is very simple
and i really like it.
i know that i like it and think it's a great design.
i'm also making the ads in a way that it won't take up too much space
or be too in your face
and finally there is text on the page lol!
i think that that is what makes a site more fun and enticing is the use of
text.
i think that text lets you use your imagination more and can take a picture
even farther as you see the picture (of the game or whatever) and then
you read and get all excited and next thing you know your playing it!
so that makes me happy.
i'm not even ashamed that this site isn't lasting even a week haha
i'm also going to starting on a whole SLEW of christmas games
i'm really excited because there going to be fun and cute and cool
and addictive.
it's also part of p.y.p
which i will shortly unveil the meaning of!
Fun huh?!
speaking of fun i'm working on stuff for that section right now!
-eric :D

positive thinking!

2008-10-31T10:12:00.000-07:00

yesterday i took a day away from the computer
i didn't do anything computer involved lol
i just chilled out
didn't even try to write down any ideas i had
just kind of let everything just flow through my mind
and come and go as it pleased.
not trying to force anything just
let everything flow.
i'm also thinking positive to make sure that everything works out as it's supposed to.
if you state exactly what your hoping for out loud write it down and think about it
and believe its gonna happen
i believe
it will

forced into inspiration

2008-10-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

is it possible to force inspiration no
is it possible to make it possible
to be more open
yes.
i've left my laptop at home today
i'm busy collecting thoughts
and images
in my head
thinking out game engines
what can be new and exciting
what can be abstract
what can be viral
i'm thinking
this is vital
what is my next game to be released
should i finish up one of my near completion games
or should i fix up an old complete game
or should i do something totally new
i think that i should go back and fix up one of my older ideas
they didn't go into remission because they weren't good ideas
i just ran into a ..
speed bump i'll say haha
so now i'm thinking
what should i go with for my next game

Hallowed Days T.o.T

2008-10-29T10:18:00.000-07:00

I thought i would talk a bit about what hallowed days t.o.t means and is about.
Hallowed Days. is the name of the series.
I don't know if it will stand for all holiday games or just halloween games.
I have another game pretty much complete in this well i guess it is halloween games then haha
series and i hope to release it next. I don't want to wait a year tho lol so i'm just going to release it as a series thing.
ok now hallowed days is pretty obvious where i got that from
but T.oT
That can be the emoticon fro crying like the top of the T is the closed eye. and the stem of the T is the tear streaming and the o is the mouth so ToT looks like something frightened it maybe or something scary or eerie happened. and it also just perfectly is the acronym for trick or treat!
so it goes like this.
now you have it.
hallowed days T.o.T
haha

Hello Everyone

2008-10-28T22:40:00.000-07:00

Ok so here we are
i've got the new site uploaded.
i was totally in love with it.
but suddenly seeing it live with those google ads i'm not as much anymore.
i think i need to take down a couple of the ads.
i've released a new game!
its for halloween.
i know that it's almost here and will be gone soon but i just had to release it!
I found that i am somewhat too much of a perfectionist (Except when it comes to grammar lol)
and i think that i need to start producing more content regardless of if it meets my
"standards"
I think i need to polish up the game
go with an idea
and then get it out there and start on the next one!
i really want to fulfill my dream of doing this full time.
and i believe i can do it!
Check out

Hallowed Days T.o.T (my site)

you can see it here on kongregate (leave me nice commetns :D)

and here at newgrounds (please give me a nice rating if you like it!)

enjoy!

I'm Number One!!!

2008-09-04T20:09:00.001-07:00

I am in total elation right now,
Space Cleaners won first place in the XPOGames.com XPOser competition!!!!
Flying Fish flew in at Fifth lol and it's a great feeling!
All of the hard work paid off!
And so did everyones praying and hoping, and positive energy!
So thank you everyone. I'm extremely grateful to have even placed in the competition, as there were many amazing developers who entered, and feel like this is the start of even greater things to come!
You Guys will be able to see the game soon too! Along with the launch of the brand new site!!!
-Eric :D

I'm moving here

2008-08-29T14:24:00.000-07:00

For now I think i'll post all of my site information here for everyone to read up on... I may continue to use the site maybe this is a quick fix maybe it's permanent lol but i know it will be a lot easier for me to just upload things to here and keep my site fresh and clean!
ok well.
for the first post i'd like to say.
thank you to everyone who checks up on the site and plays fun games like InterPets and Flying Fish I have a new game finished and can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it! It has a high score table too so it will be fun to see if anyone can beat my score!!

I'm also working on a sUuUuUUUPER cute animated short.
featuring a cute blue whale named walter who's best friend is a short tempered penguin, who is constantly harrased by the love of his life, priscilla.. (he just doesn't know it yet)
need i say more? hahaha

I'm still hopeful to be announced as a winner of the contest. I tried really hard and feel like i have some great submissions.

lastly i've been jotting down tons of ideas, and thinking of how to implement them as games.
i'm really trying to compete with big sites. even tho i'm a one man team. my one can do a lot!
ok
thanks again everyone! here is the new myGameline.com blog!
have fun leave me love on the site! It's alwasy really encouraging!!!
later.
