Here's the story: The Movie Channel is a channel that shows movies. But it is an evil channel, and only YOU can prevent forest fires. So you are a boy who travels around in a balloon with a girl and you fight with a magic pepper shaker to gain computerized security clearance while avoiding big skulls and buggy engines and such. Also Scruthers is bloody.

Or at least, that's what I've gathered.

I only wish I understood the story for real so I could keep you interested.

It's okay, Ryan. We all misinterpret/don't understand things sometimes. I didn't know that you weren't supposed to have sex with the pencil sharpener after WEEKS of doing it.

I'm not even sure if anyone is anticipating its release.

Ryan F.: Ahhh. I understand now. I keep telling everyone that was a seperate engine, that I made for the sake of making something. Will someone please delete the TMC demo from the archives.

What, so the engine's not part of the game? What's the deal with that?

Exactly.

I have started programming for the sneaking mission. This process could take a very long time to complete, and I can tell it will turn out great. The only thing I'm afraid of is the kb size of the first and second files are increasing at a wild rate. I'm afraid it _will_ be a four file game. And hopefully I can organize it so one chapter doesn't spill over into the next file. (But I can tell right now that the sneaking mission boards will have at least 10-15 kb of proagramming in them. This could mean that I will _have_ to let the chapters spill over, so there won't be any runtime errors.)

Also, I have started composing my own music lately, and have achieved decent results. I'm sorry ,Ryan and Madtom, that I haven't sent you the files so you can help me with the music. So... I guess I can make all of the music myself. Unless you really _want_ to help. Which I would really appreciate.... But I still haven't sent you the files. (I don't know why, but I don't want to send them. And that's just paradoxical. Oh bother.)

New screenshots coming soon... reluctantly.

Yeah, the boards in Castle Wolfenstein all have quite a few objects in them and are starting to press the 10-15 kb mark. Which reminds me, I should work on that. :P

Production for TMC has been halted, due to my computer's decision to kill itself. This will delay it's realease for an unknown period of time. TMC has _not_ been dissolved though. Time for fireworks and espionage.

I kept wishing that someone would come in here and dumb this up a bit, so it would get locked and sent to Archived Badness. I'm tired of looking at it.

Also: I fixed my computer, and production has resumed. But I'm not going to update it in this thread. Ever. Just wait until it's finished.
