The simplicity in complex things

Yep, now is the time I’m in the mood to write an article for my little blog here.

The situation is: I actually don’t know how i should handle my little blog here. I think in the future more english-speaking people will read this,but on the other side my motherlanguage is german and lots of friends maybe read this are germans too. I don’t like the idea to write in both languages. It’s the double work for me and not everybody probably will read this in his/her own language. I test my blog in completly english maybe i will do german stuff later… (im not completly happy with that but it’s a good beginning)

 

Now to the nerdy stuff.

I created a very (very) little game. It’s a Shoot’em Up called “c0mplex”.

Why the name c0mplex? Oh, it’s a funny story. I’m new in the programmer-scene, but I want to do it in my future. I want to become a Game-Designer or Game-Developer(dont know which i like more). So, my ide was to create a little 2D side-scrolling RPG…..it was a huge mistake. I programmed for a whole evening and in the end i realized the project is a lot bigger than i first thought. There were so many things i not considered. The end of the story: I deleted the project and thought of a new idea. The next idea was a 2D top-of-view game with zombies and weapons and many effects and cool sounds and blood and….yep that idea was a mistake too. I started programming and realized there are so many graphic things i have to create. In the end i created a player and a placeholder enemy. It was unpossible for me to do such a big project so i thought how i could do an even smaller game. I liked the idea from my zombie-game so I took the gameplay, took the placeholder enemy and created c0mplex. Do you now know why it’s called c0mplex? No? Because it’s so simple. I tried to create games I could never finish and now my game is so simple.

I’m not done with c0mplex yet. I want to implent many features such a save-system, an ingame-shop, boss-enemy and so on.

Kochen mit Mr. Mix

Hey leute,

auf meinem YouTube-Kanal, hab ich nun mein neues Video Spielemythen #4 veröffentlicht.

In meiner Serie Spielemythen gehe ich Mythen nach, die in der Welt der Videospiele entstanden sind. Oft sind sie nur von einigen Leuten ausgedacht, aber hinter einigen steckt doch ein Stück wahrheit. Zum Ende der Video ekläre ich dann auf, ob der jeweilige Mythos echt war und wie authentisch er ist.

Hier das Video:

Hello World!

Hello out there,

 

i’m just a german boy, who created this blog in his freetime. This is the first post so introduce myself. My name is Jan. My interests? I’m interested in everything around me. Especially technology and computers. I want to understand how things work and why they work. I love programming in my freetime and yep – I’m a gamer too. Oh, and I make YouTube videos(but only in german).

 

I don’t know why you visited my blog, but I hope you like what you find here ;)
