One billion downloads? How can you question that? Well, you can’t.
Here’s how the internet works…
Each technical user, like myself is bound to have Firefox installed on at least three to six machines in their household. That’s six downloads.
A major version of Firefox like 3.1 -> 3.5 is released. That’s six more downloads. We’re at twelve!
Oh shoot, operating system data got eaten by malware. Reformat. Reinstall Firefox.
Thirteen from one person now!
You can’t question one billion on the internet. You just can’t.
After months of waiting, you can finally download and play the latest version of Spherack Online: Version 3.1! This release includes over 36 major feature additions, changes and bug fixes including the implimentation of a new menu system, server browser and also weapons.
That’s right, one of the major features you’ve all been waiting for have arrived! (I’ve stopped procrastinating) Rather than just killing each other with one gun, you can now choose between theThompson, a Shotgun, and the Grenade Launcher over the area of now, five maps.

Presenting a quick trailer for a new video project I’m working on with a few friends. The entire thing will probably be released in several separate chapters, I don’t have an idea on the count yet, but they should start rolling out next month. For now, you can play this trailer over and over as you wait.
Though the recent Build 061 addition of a brand new server browser and chat system was the biggest and most important updates in Spherack 3′s history, it was probably the worst. Why? Did it not help users out when finding their friends in games and chat before-hand? Well, it did… but not for all users. On top of demanding a lot of system resources to power its cosmetic aspects, half the game’s population ran into severe, inexplicable crashes.
So now, a few months later, with time to actually work on the game again, I’m including a brand new menu & server browser as part of the game’s big 3.1 Update. I can’t say I’ll be retaining the chat system just yet, but I can say it’s faster and far less glitchy to use.
But wait, there’s more! Now the monster’s that have claimed texting can draw your attention away from hazardous road conditions while driving now want you to think it’s bad to text while walking! Well… perhaps it is. At least for a 15-year-old teen girl from Staten Island whom just so happened to fall into a man-hole while texting.
This is why we can’t have 1440×900 resolutions on our cellular devices, people. I know bigger screens make bigger smiles, but think of all the construction workers being sued out of their minds because of the accidents they cause! Our economy is facing a recession and we’re only contributing by falling into manholes! Not only that, but the shock and disgust from falling into one can drive potential workers away from careers in the field! We’ve got billions of dollars being pumped into our economy regardless of our debt, yet we’re scaring away all the workers because they fear getting fecal matter on their hard-shell Blackberry cases. What good is this going to do? We need change! I command you all to go out and purchase this phone. Your vision while walking will improve drastically. Either that or it will decrease because you’ll be straining your eyes to focus on such a small screen.
Or we can just go with a completely different idea. Kids, if you see an open man-hole, or men with hard-hats on, please steer clear of your existing path or be a little more focused on what’s around you. Our next story will consist of a texting child walking into the freezer of a butcher shop and getting swine flu.
Well I’m pretty excited to announce these past couple of days with school out of the way I’ve been hard at work here and there trying to get Spherack back on its feet. I’m finally starting to get to those highly requested features that will really turn the tides of gameplay. I’ve started by upgrading the cosmetics a little bit… Rather than appearing completely flat, players and landscapes now give drop-shadows behind them to give more depth. It actually supplies for a very nice visual effect while in-game and can be turned off through the new options menu.
Yes, an actual options menu, and I mean IN-GAME options! Rather than instantly quitting the game when you hit the escape key, you’ll open up this window from which you’ll have quite a few choices I think you’ll all like. As I said, you’ll be able to adjust the in-game settings, and you’ll also be able to change your team in-game and switch weapons. New weapons! They’re coming! I’ve already got a rocket launcher made up and its filled with awesome!A variety in weaponry is sure to bring a fresh approach to gameplay as some have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Choose what works best for you and suits your interests.
There’s a lot of things to come in the future update. When it will come I can’t say, but for now stop by my new bug tracker at http://flyspray.AndrewNatoli.com to browse and submit your own feature requests and bug reports! I’d love to hear your ideas on what I should add and change, so why keep them to yourselves?
I might go about posting some screenshots from the upcoming build soon. I apologize for the lack of progress the past few months but hope you’re excited for what’s to come!
Well I just finished working on a slight update to GML Patch earlier and now here’s the release. This really is a really minor update but hey, it’s something, right? All of the changes lied in the Update.exe file. (Updated source included) The main issue I saw was when it would launch, the window would only show after the update was completed, thus leaving the user clueless for a moment as to what’s going on.
List of Changes…
Fixed issue where window would appear after update is completed instead of during it
Removed changelog button by default (can be easily re-inserted in VB.NET)
Well this one was a lot of fun to make. Some friends came and asked me for help making a video for one of their classes and I offered to do the filming and editing for it. After just two days of filming and editing, the video was finished and adored by tons of viewers throughout the school. Pretty awesome. Just adding a disclaimer to be fair: Not all interviews reflect the actual views and opinions of the people being questioned. Enjoy!
