[Hello everyone, it's Chris. As usual for his posts while there's no event going on, he has very important things to talk about.]

Hey guys. So, while I've had the time to work on it, I've been taking apart the code Rhys used to make Pong and I think I've got enough of a handle on it to start making some games. Really basic games, though.

[Don't ask him to make Crysis or something.]

So yeah, any requests? I was thinking Tetris, and maybe like, a chess game or something? I dunno. I'm open to suggestions.

[And on that note--]

Em and I are also taking suggestions on the emoji front, too. We've already decided we need a tiny violin for Emily's abject lack of sympathy for my plights in life, but while we're adding one we might as well add a bunch.

[So yeah. That concludes this super important, incredibly necessary post.]

Yeah; I've played ports of it.

[It's pretty great.]

It might be kind of complicated for me but I could give it a shot.

Even something else but with a similar level of difficulty would be wonderful. It's no fun if the games are too easy to beat.

Hey, if it's difficulty and replayability and all that that's most important, whatever game I do end up making I can totally add a ridiculously ultra hard difficulty to.

[Because he understands that desire; it's super disappointing to just breeze through a game and then be done with it.]

[infinite1up]

[Sato seems surprisingly enthusiastic about the possibility.]

Wonderful! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Gameplay is important too, as is good level design, but I think we could all really use is the mental stimulation of a good challenge!

You know, if you need a beta tester, you can always send me an early version, too.

Yeah, I like really thought-out stuff myself, but unfortunately that's kind of too much to do on a phone, at least for just me. But maybe a puzzle game's a good idea on the side, along with the ultra-hard difficulty on the simpler stuff?

Definitely, if you don't mind if it's buggy at first.

[Beta-testing is always a good idea.]

[infinite1up]

I don't mind. It'll be nice to have something new to play either way. How long do you think it'll take?

oops I was a little too used to writing the text tag font change I guess

[thechoiceisyours]

No idea, unfortunately; it depends on just how much harder making a game turns out to be than I'm expecting. At least I don't have a whole lot else to be doing.

But I'll let you know when I've got something together, for sure.
