Today I did an interview with Gamercast. I’ve probably annoyed them, because they’ve become the victim of my shitty email organization and lack of brain. So I believe there’s a chance they won’t publish the interview. My webcams have arrived, to my surprise. I got them less than 12 hours after my order. Unfortunately I [...]
Read moreSpent most of the day doing errands. Weather was really cold and it was snowing like crazy. Actually today was the coldest day in Istanbul for 33 years. I woke up and drank 2 liters of water (for ultrasound) and went to the hospital. Got my blood tested and had an ultrasound scan. I got [...]
Read moreI have been sleep deprived for a couple of days now and it finally caught up with me today. I’m going to bed much earlier than usual because I’m having a tough time keeping my eyes open. Not much happened today, I was able to work maybe 2-3 hours at most. Most of the time [...]
Read moreI got myself a VPS (Virtual Private Server) account. I need to test some applications I developed for the game. I enjoy working with Linux and my favorite distribution is Debian. I like Debian because it’s easy to use and it doesn’t come with a million insecure services installed. I heard that Freebsd is even [...]
Read moreI must be a horrible person because I seem to wish harm on people on a pretty regular basis. 90% of the time in traffic. I really really wish people death or at least a serious accident before they kill anyone else with their stupidity. Life in Istanbul today is pretty fucked because of the [...]
Read moreHere’s part two, at least some of it. Please click here if you haven’t read yesterday’s post. I wrote about 500 words on simplified interaction but 10 minutes ago I decided it needed further editing. So here’s the gist of those 500 words. The thing that I’m having trouble with these days is choosing which [...]
Read moreI couldn’t work yesterday. Not even for a minute. Bobo had a health issue so I spent a huge amount of time at the vet. Thank god he’s fine now; he scared the shit out me. After that stressful situation, before I was able to relax, I learned that a close friend of mine had [...]
Read moreCouldn’t work on the game today. More info tomorrow.
Read moreI think about horror/scary stuff a lot and when I was finally watching Paranormal Activity 3 yesterday, I found out that some of my ideas at least were right. To be frank I’m not crazy about horror movies. I think they are notoriously tough to get right. That’s why most movies stay within the confines [...]
Read moreI just searched for “vivec entertainment” in Google. At last, the site is first in the results. Google continues to ask if I meant Vivid Entertainment though! I think it may take a while longer for Google to accept me, which is fine. From another point of view, I think it’s really cool because you [...]
Read moreGod, I’d forgotten what an unlimited 20mbit internet connection feels like. Now I can watch Youtube videos! I have a fast 3G modem at the mountain home but with an 8GB bandwidth limit I can’t do any intensive BW stuff like watching Youtube, or any videos for that matter. I wrote some parts of my [...]
Read moreToday was exhausting. Sleeping 5 hours and driving non-stop for 8 took it’s toll. I also received a speeding ticket for the first time in my life ($100 gone). Having a screaming cat on the backseat also makes driving a little bit more stressful. Anyways, I got home safe so it’s all good. I came [...]
Read moreI usually write my posts before going to bed but this time I’m posting quite early in the day. I’ll be traveling to Istanbul tonight. It’s about 8 hours drive. I’ll probably get up at 4.30 am and be on my way at 5 am. I’ll be staying there for a while. I’ve got loads [...]
Read moreHere’s a tiny piece from my very first interview But for the first-time developer, Shadow Of A Soul was still a daunting task to conceptualise, produce and oversee… “I still have absolutely no idea how long a project can take,” laughs Ferzan, “but I do know that most of the time I have to double [...]
Read moreOverall this was a productive day. I got lots of stuff done. I can concentrate better if I’m not constantly checking emails or checking website statistics or comments etc. Not that I have a lot of them, it’s because I have too few of them that I’m checking constantly. I want to be like the [...]
Read moreNot a very productive day. I took care of some errands, bought some food (cakes! yummy). Since I’m training for the World Stress Eating Competition I need to keep my tummy full all the time. I talked about my habit of fixating on things here. Today I fixated on goddamned Playbook. It’s a device by [...]
Read moreI want to kill myself! The image below was one of the files in a zip file that contained logos of the game on the press page for editors to download. WTF is that PAUSE doing there!? I want to kill myself. ARRGH!!! I mean, how did I miss that? I saved that image from [...]
Read moreI want to talk real quick about why I’m providing a 100% Money Back Guarantee to those who preorder the game. I should have done this before but, to be honest, I didn’t expect anybody to preorder. Why 100% Money Back Guarantee? I have no games under my belt Nobody knows me (I’ve never worked [...]
Read moreI’ve written a very long post about short stories, horror stories in particular, but I don’t have the energy left to complete and post it today. I’ll probably post that within a couple of days, so that’s why this is going to be a tiny post. I did a little bit of work on the [...]
Read moreWell, it appears I managed to brainwash some of my 20 visitors into up-voting my Reddit post. I mentioned here that I got -4 votes. Now I think I have +2 votes. At least I’m not humiliated and I can browse through the internet with my head and epenis held high. Most of today’s work [...]
