10 pushups 10 situps 10 squats 1km walk everyday

I'm...a total fitness junkie. I'm pretty much a jock, almost. Thanks, military.

My go-to is weightlifting. I hit the weights and I hit them hard. Right now I'm doing my third cycle of Candito's 6 Week Program, which has a lot of emphasis on the Big Three, Bench, Squat, and Deadlifts with auxiliary exercises built in. I hope to hit 1,000 lbs on them combined by this time next year.

I try to further supplement that with jump rope and a bit of running for cardio, and I'm going to start hitting the batting cages soon, as well. When I was on deployment, I messed around with some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and now that I'm out the military, I'm going to try to find the time to get back into it.

Yea boot camp/military helped me too! I was always a good runner. I ran my PRT in under 11 minutes before and after bootcamp, but I struggled with pushups. I think I ended basic training with over 50. When I started bootcamp, doing 30 was pushing it for me. Since we have bi-yearly PRT exams I just got into a routine of fitness. I dig it.

Good luck Kentona! Accountability partner is a good idea. Also if you're married, showing the gains off to your partner can be exciting :)...

Very cool, do the clouds move a little?

I just checked out the game page and I'm curious, what libraries do you guys use for your engine?


Yes the clouds move. What do you mean by libraries? I am the composer so I don't understand all the tech details :)

Here's some shots of our airship. What happens is the code tells the game to take a screenshot of the land you are flying over when you access the ship deck and it uses it as the shot underneath the clouds. 1st shot is sailing over Dradora and the other is over the Haunted Swamp. It's those small things we are polishing as we get ready for our (hopefully) late Q3 or early Q4 release this year. What do you think?











I imagine eventually we'll add propellers to the ship as this is a palette swap of the water ship.

@Erave:
Those all look smashing. I love the feeling of that basement blackjack screenshot. Your artist really nails the sweet spot between detail and simplicity (wall, floor, wood trim, all great!).

But what's going on with that two-pixel black line along the bottom wall? I'm guessing it's because you're using the same tile for the bottom and top wall border, but it just really jumped out at me.


Yea I was always a little irked by that myself too. But I'm not the art guy. I think I've just gotten used to it!

Hey! Are you a fellow shipmate?
Yeah, I am! I'm almost out, though. Good ride, but it ate up a lot of my time!

My gig with the Navy is a bit unusual. I joined as a musician in the D.C. Navy band. Came out as an E6 with tons of free time


Christ, you're an MU? And an MU1 right off the bat, as well?

I thought you guys were unicorns. I've literally met more SEALs than I ever have MUs. The audition process is crazy selective, right? Congratulations, yeah, you definitely have one of the sweeter gigs in the Navy. You'll have a ton of time.


Yea there's like 170 of the MUs in the entire Navy D.C Band. Most at the command are now Chiefs and Senior Chiefs. I had to submit a tape and out of 100s of tapes they invited 8 people to a live audition. Very selective.

What was your rate in the Navy?

Thanks WIP! I think I saw some of your posts on the Neogaf thread. That was a bit rough at first, but it was nice you helped pitch us. Yes, we are really excited and the game has been in high gear. I'll try and post some updates here soon!
If I'm anything, it's critical of everything! Sorry if it felt too harsh.


Oh I specifically meant the other people's posts! You were really supportive. Some other folks seemed to have an axe to grind with our game :)

Sorry for not responding, spent two months in Navy basic training.
If you need tips on how to balance Navy life with game making, let me know (seriously).

And that is the unlikeliest group of words to make a sentence I think I've ever said.

My gig with the Navy is a bit unusual. I joined as a musician in the D.C. Navy band. Came out as an E6 with tons of free time. I probably have more free time than I did when I was bustin' my ass as a freelance musician in Nashville.

Sorry for not responding, spent two months in Navy basic training. I think as we got closer to the finish line people decided to jump on board. We had a huge rally the last 3 days where we earned around 7k in that time. Another thing that helped was we were streaming a lot of twitch and we were engaging with fans and potential backers as we watched the demo get played. We reached out to a lot of Let's Players as well. That helped.
I was quite relieved you made it. I pitched in as well on the KS. Jazzed to see this come out.
