Bear vs Internet

So it’s been a while. Here’s a look back at we took to the skies and it’s tracks.

1. Take Off.

Originally meant to be about other planets and bears, Take Off is the intro. The launch into space. That’s when they take to the skies really. It got carried over because I like it. Slowly builds up until it reaches the explosion and then dies down as soon as it peaks. The Take off is a success.

2. Hyperplane at Infinity

Originally the intro for Acceptance, my last summer project. Named after the band me and my ex girlfriend never started. It’s chaotic, there’s way too much going on, and there’s not really a looping melody in there until at the end. That’s odd for me. This songs represents the parts of life that are out of your hands. It’s like when your driving, and you lose control of your car. Your fate hangs in the balance and you feel helpless against the force of the world.

I have become a slave to the man. I abandoned my education to follow a career in FISH FACTORIES! YEAH! So hey, I still have plenty of time, but I’m really bad at managing it. Thus I never get anything done. A part of me welcomes the more rigid living that working 8-4, 5 days a week brings. Some other part misses my chaotic lifestyle of old. Eh.

I’m just going to have to try and adapt to this way of living.

It’s been three weeks now and I should have gone to bed 30 minutes ago.

Gonna try and crap out some more stuff for what’s left of this month. Review one game, do some more Eve stuff, some music related things and maybe even an interview.

Oh, and I started a forum. Comments can be left on that forum by following the link below.

Excelsior!

I’m sitting in the dark in front of my computer screen when a thought occurs. I should totally do interviews! But whom to interview, and what to talk about? Slight movement in the lower right corner of the screen grabs my attention.

So, for the nawbs, what’s your username on xw, and how old are you?

My username on XW is GCokes and I’m currently 17 years of age.

How long have you been working on Dominance Online?

I’m nearing 6 months now

Looking back at your six months of developement, is there anything you would’ve done differently?

I think the only thing I would have done differently is instead of building my staff up progressively as I developed, I would have built my staff before starting the game. A lot of my time has been used testing, interviewing, and searching for staff members.

What do you think you did right?

I think that overall, everything has done right so far in regards to development. Like I stated earlier, the way I built my staff is the only regret I have. I’ve put a lot of thought into everything I’ve done on Dominance Online to make sure it’s the most enjoyable experience possible for players.

How much content has been developed so far?

About 70% of the level 1-50 content. It’s the content that’s taken the longest due to the fact that 3 full areas for 1-50 have to be made instead of an average game’s one.

What is your favourite game ever?

I think World of Warcraft is the best game ever, but my favorite game ever is Ragnarok Online.

With the new year just around the corner and many public betas on the horizon, what is your most anticipated xw game?

It might sound cheesybut Dominance Online is my most anticipated XW game. I think Dominance Online has got a lot of things that I myself look for as a player. I myself am a gamer and I created Dominance Online with the goal of tying up all the loose ends that most games I play have. I made Dominance Online a gamer-friendly game, a game I’d play if I saw it. And trust me, I’m going to play it!

Will you be seen wielding mighty admin only items? And if yes, can I have some?

Of course not! I’m going to play the game as if I were any other player. For one, that’s the best way to work out the kinks in the game that other people might not notice; and like I said, I made Dominance Online into a game I’d like to play. I know Dominance Online is going to be a great game. There’s so much fun stuff to do, events are going to be common, quests that will keep you interested all the time, and awesome classes that are each unique!

Any news on the upcoming beta

I anticipate the Beta to be out before the end of February. I don’t want to make any promises and not have it work the way I want to but I will however been offering VIP Betas of certain areas to a select few. If you’re interested let me know.

Any last words?

I encourage everyone to keep an eye out for Dominance Online and to register on our forums here. It won’t hurt to give Dominance Online a try when it’s released, but the chances of you falling in love are extremely high!

Looking through my music folder, there’s loads of unfinished stuff that never really went anywhere.

Thing is, some of that stuff is really awesome.

So yeah, here’s some more crap.

47es

Trivia: Assault is built from this song.

I don’t remember what I was thinking when I made this. Some of these synths sound pretty awesome though.

Awesomeness factor – 3/5

Chance of revisiting – 47%

Here’s something newly oldish.

Go on, guess how old it is.
