What Could Be Interesting Now That I Have Come Back

Courier font. Well, it's readable.

I was in the closed Beta for Heroes of the Storm. Today it went public and I am downloading the update.

I just thought of something. Each of the characters introduced is a part of Blizzard's past intellectual properties. Even 'The Lost Vikings' still belong to Blizzard.

In other words, if you play Heroes then that game could gateway you into World of Warcraft, or into Diablo, or into Starcraft. Or you could search for their earlier titles and play retro.

It feels both devious and logical at the same time. Kudos to Blizzard for planning their product line.

I'm sure that if Overwatch characters are introduced then that would be Blizzard's way of saying Earth, and ourselves, are really a part of their world.

Retrospect SUCKS

I just reread the previous post and I gave away the concept. I'm an idiot.

Anyways, the coding is coming along. There was a bit of frustration because Gamemaker would not update my changes. I was "accepting" the changes but the information on the objects were not updating correctly. It felt like the editor side of things wasn't cooperating.

The bug didn't last long and I was able to push forward. I have the second weapon nearly done and adding some effects to it to differentiate from the cannon shot.

I just have to think "perseverance" and get this done.
