I will participate if time permits (most likely).

Topic: Kongregate / Make Exit Path multiplayer here too

Armor Games will be the decider on if/when Exit Path will host multiplayer content on Kongregate. I don’t have a lot of power to that now, since Armor Games owns the Exit Path brand.

Topic: Kongregate / Good news, everyone! jmtb02 is joining Kongregate

Thanks for the warm welcome. I visited the Kongregate office back in 2006 when they were in a tiny, tiny office and Greg seemed absolutely huge because of how small the office was. At that time there was just a few employees, things like forums were just launching and roots were being laid down. Greg and I went to the same school so he took the opportunity to hand-deliver my first Kongregate rev-share check so we could catch up and talk about the Flash game scene.

Its amazing to see how far this site has come, I cannot wait to make some great stuff for you guys. Cheers!

Dear John,

Does this mean you’ll never call me ever again? You never even said goodbye. I miss you already.
There is a gaping wound in my soul and heart that shall never heal. I gaze longingly at my “This is the only mug” mug and find myself trying to hold back tears. I resist the urge to get drunk and message you via chat clients. Instead I go to bed cold and alone knowing you’ll never be here again, crying myself to sleep.
They say “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it dosent, then it was never meant to be.” So this is me letting you go.
There will never be anyone else to replace you. I swear that to you…
Goodbye, sweet prince.

Love,
Devoidless

Without devoidless in my life, there just isn’t a non-void to not-fill :(.

INTERNET ARGUMENT!

Topic: General Gaming / This is the Only Fail Badge

The problem is that Kongregate API is reporting your level progress… the game code is no different in the AG/Kong version beyond the API call.

Sooooooooo I’ll talk to Greg tomorrow about what should happen, but we can kill that off if we feel it necessary. Progression should be recorded in one way or another but it sucks that people are getting varying lengths of pause between the levels.

Heh… Jiggmin was there too…

There were a lot of developers there. Jiggmin, Paul Preece (DTD), Glaiel-Gamer, Brad Bourne, and the list goes on and on and on and on……

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard, their shadows searching in the night, streetlight people, living just to find emotion, hiding, somewhere in the nighttttttttttttttt

Topic: Kongregate / Met With Kong Staff / FGS / T-shirt / Pics

Drunk??? Not even close, you troll. Takes more than a couple Guinnesses to rock my ship.

Crappy iPhone camera??? Most certainly.

Meeting Tasselfoot??? Priceless.

Topic: Kongregate / Make a Poem/ Draw a Picture for Greg

The submissions thus far have been more than optimal.

Greg won’t know about this thread because he’s rather busy today doing other things, or so I assume.

Topic: Kongregate / Make a Poem/ Draw a Picture for Greg

GOOD MORNING KONGREGATE.

I am going to FLASH GAME SUMMIT on Sunday and everyone’s favourite person GREG will be there. In fact I know for sure that we’ll have at least TEN MINUTES to talk at the AFTERPARTY so I need your help.

I need you to write a POEM or DRAW A PICTURE or WRITE SOMETHING (like a thank-you) about GREG. Keep it clean and good-tempered. Write about your favourite badge he’s implemented, or the way he makes witty remarks towards users, or ask him why his WoW character has died 2 out of the last 3 raids. In fact just write anything, just make sure it has Greg in it. If you need help, consider your choices: He plays WoW, he LOVES Flash games, he likes sugar gliders and hedgehogs, and he owes me tacos (2 of them plus interest).

DON’T TELL GREG. This is a surprise for him. The postings here will be compiled into a book and handed to him on Sunday.

I’ll take pictures of the handing off of the item.

POST IT HERE BEFORE SATURDAY 8 AM. THANKS.

Topic: General Gaming / Run Elephant Run

Currently I’m thinking about setting up a blacklist array of power gamers. Since Kongregate can read in usernames into the API I can automatically double the difficulty of certain users and assign them their own scoreboard. I think that would be hilarious.

var blackList:Array = new Array(“Tasselfoot”, “MrRubix”);

@TheoSoft it’s not an obsession, merely a coincidence!

Topic: General Gaming / Run Elephant Run

Sigh. The magical team MrRubix/Tasselfoot strike again.

What’s funny is that I geared that Insane mode towards YOU TWO and in one day you have taken it down (in three lives no less).

Congrats. I shall work harder to find ways to befuddle both of you.

Topic: Kongregate / Merge "Kong chat merge" chats?

I have been seeing a lot of threads talking about “chat merges” and I think we should consolidate them into one thread chat. What do you think?

Topic: Kongregate / jmtb02's games on ArmorGames profile :?

Nice job Phatcat and Panda_Man, that was brilliant.

I work for Armor Games as Head o’ Game Development. Before Armor Games my work was sponsored (such as you might see Coke sponsoring a football match). But when I graduated college I became a full-time developer for Armor Games and even moved down to the office. The reason we upload to the AG account is so that we can have all our content, revenue, and other parts under the same account. It doesn’t make sense for our developers to all get paid and then pay us back, or to have API changes we need to make and can’t because someone’s account is locked down and they are on holiday to the moon.

As to the “Programmed by jmtb02” thing, that’s my fault. I actually have the ability to put in “Programmed by jmtb02” splash screen (see the game Sixty) but I always forget :(.

So what I would LOVE is for the Kongregate staff to create a COAUTHOR so that we can sharesy-wheresy the content author.

Topic: Kongregate / Achievement Unlocked hard badge

Go home Greg. Time to stop working on this challenge!
