I know probably no-one will read this considering Geek Culture is based on random topics like "Its my birthday" but this is the only place I can actually post without being locked for being irrelevant.

First off:
To people who think that I have left TGC (Not many), wrong. I have quit FPSC yes, but who knows. Heres hoping to after my Preliminary Exams that FPSC will rise from the ashes to take another attempt.

Why did I quit FPSC? It stopped working. Thats all I can say to it.

What am I doing now? Im working with JRH as Thistle Multimedia Studios. We have a new domain: http://www.thistlems.co.uk
Im currently working on projects BombTag and Logicia, while JRH has been working on a new programming language designed to be incredibly easy to use. BombTag is playable on our website, under the name "BombTag NET" (Non-Exclusive Test) which is basically a really cut down version of the final product.

What software am I using now? The Games Factory for BombTag, but once I purchase Multimedia Fusion 2 I will pass on Alpha 6 to Jony to program in the online play, and hopefully initiate Thistle Community.

Now that DBP has become free, I am debating that if I can learn the language that I will create an 3D version of BombTag, free of charge to owners of the 2D version, and create Logicia in a "Fallout" style perspective.

I was known as FPI Scripts Copy and Paste, after an accidental confusion on what was "forum name" and "forum thread name."
Later on, I became known as YFPSD (Young FPS Developers) to reflect our teenage game making group dedicated to using FPS Creator. It kicked the bucket after 4 years of nothingness. After JRH rejoined the late YFPSD we decided on a new name, and are now known as
Thistle Multimeida Studios

@Jeku

My implication was to make this an official thread for TMS, to discuss project statuses, ideas, features etc. Unfortunately since the only people who visit my website are spammers (They added a wiki article on my site with over 500 malicious links which I hastily removed) im sure people would be scratching their head wondering "whuh??"
It would also be to make myself known once more, considering im sure everyone has forgotten me by now.

http://www.thistlems.co.uk/BombTagNet.html

This is currently the only browser game I can show, asides from JPEG screenshots of my project. It uses Vitalize, and it used to work for Internet Explorer, but once I changed the location of the .ccn file IE went "duh?" and can no longer load the file. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome work fine with it, but it is rather limited.

That isnt necessarily true. Several people who joined my forums even though it had a verification code spammed the hell out of my forum So it might not have been a bot that did it. Anyway, I disabled anonymous editing on my wikipedia page so no more unauthorised changes

Actually Fallout, if you go onto our website we have made a programming language available on our downloads page as well as a browser demo of our game BombTag. Also, its a little hard designing stuff when it all falls apart and ceases to work, thats why I gave up on FPSC some time ago.

Edited my first post! I was a bit hasty. Good luck with your projects.

Thanks Very soon I will upload a brand new browser game that will be freeware which is a simple zombie shooter game and I know its been done a bazillion times but its something to entertain you while we work on our projects, hopefully cutting the wait. Apologies if anyone here (very unlikely) is really anxious to know when we will release our games. Unfortunately, I have schoolwork and exams to do so the wait will probably be significantly longer.

Also, some feedback from BombTag NET?

Well i visited and it wasnt that bad. There are just a few things. Instead of having a download page i would suggest replacing it with a projects page, and then links to pages about seperate project. This Welkin framwork sounds intresting but there is simple a lack of information about it to temp me to downlaod it. I would like to hear much more about it and projects like it.

There is one problem for me editing the pages... Since yfpsd.co.uk has been shut down it means that the control panel assumes the website is still there since thats the domain its based on and if I try to edit the page it says "Page not found"

Welkin is... well, im not sure on the commands either. PRINT of course is a good one but the IDE is currently pretty glitchy so unrecognised commands are signalled with a beep from the internal speaker.

If your not really sure what Welkin is either then id suggest finding out!, if you really want people to think you are proffesionals there does as i mentioned before, to be some improment. The problem your having isnt my problem, as the person who would potentially be buying your products, it is not my problem. I hope this isnt offensive . Other than that it looks quite okay.

No offense taken. Im actually kinda hoping that people would test out BombTag NET and post their feedback. The full version will feature medals which can be uploaded to hopefully the most ambitious project ever when the time comes around.

whatshername, whatever it was, to make posts announcing your return, you have to be massively famous like what I am, but nobody has ever heard of you, but don't worry, Ive posted in your thread so by association, at least that's something. Welcome back thingamajig.
