After discussing it a bit in indiegamer forum, I’ve changed my anime game graphics a bit, to have less “sexy” pictures.
It is so fun for me to talk about sex when you just see a girl with sexy dress (NOT naked)… But I’m not american so I don’t know. I know for sure that here in europe is quite common to see full naked women/men during tv commercials…!
Also I think it matters a lot the texts that accompanies the image. My game will still contain glamour and romantic situation. Girls and boys kiss each other when they are in love, I think there’s nothing wrong talking about this.
I think I’ll put it in an ironic way, similarly to what happens in the popular Leisure Suit Larry series. Still I’ll rate it teen+, even if I’m sure that at least here in europe the game could be played by 12-13 years old without problems…!!
Car accident!
Damn 🙁
Sometimes life is really hard. Yesterday was driving in a dark road and a cat crossed it – I had just the reflexes to brake and avoid investing the poor creature, but then I lost control of the car! and I crashed on a guard-rail (those metallic plates nearby the roads).
We did nothing, not even a scratch: but the car…! Oh my god 🙁
Don’t know yet how much it will cost to repair it, but I am even considering to resell it and get a new one… I’m not really much lucky with cars 🙁
W bitmap fonts!
I’m very happy, today I managed to make some very nice bitmap fonts. Check a new screenshot of magic stones & USM2 using the new fonts:

They look very nice, don’t they? much better than old Magic Stones font and better even than PTK TrueType fonts integrated support 😉
Juve-Roma 2-2
Just finished to watch the match between Juve and Roma. Not bad considering it was a friendly. Two of my favourite players, Totti and Del Piero, showed some nice stuff.
I like particularly Del Piero absolutely peace of mind: he is the perfect opposite of Totti. Alex never replies with a foul to another foul. I think he deserves to be remembered in the best players of all times for this already!
The Zuma clone invasion
Recently there has been a flood of Zuma clones. While personally I don’t like much casual games, I must say that Zuma clones are quite fun even for me 🙂
A new game that just came out, Atalantis is a very good example.
Made by a friend with the powerful PTK, shows what can be achieved in short time (the rumours talk about 2 months of development time) if you have the right skills!
