CodePackage Partnership

This year we at www.ParaPro.co.nr are sponsoring the CodePackage [www.CodePackage.com] project, Everyday ’10. Each year since its creation, CodePackage has compiled numerous hit products from that year, and released it in December/November of that particular year. [You can see Everyday '09 here] We’re working on collaborating with them to come up with the best Everyday project yet, and have already come up with several interesting ideas, but we won’t list them here because it’s not really up to us [CodePackage might, but they might not]. We’re going to have to leave you hanging on that one! But they might include one of our games in Everyday ’10, which would be pretty cool. Anyway, we’ll post more about this later.

Best Regards,

More Clay 2 Notes…

Well, we’ve decided that for Clay 2 the blocks must come out randomly, and we’ve just gotten help from someone on the YoYoGames website so we can do that! Also, there will be several minigames/bonus content that you can play if you get tired of playing the actual game. The list of bonus games/extras are below.

1. Tetris [yes, we will actually have this]
2. Clay Platformer [a two player game; quite a challenge!]
3. Block generator [generate as many blocks as you want]
4. Level editor [create, save, upload--then people can play your levels!]

All of those will be available here in March as a part of Clay 2. Also, as said with the level editor, you will be able to create levels, save them, test them, and even upload them to an online database where people can download your level and play it. Overall, it is NOW estimated that Clay 2 will take up about 2 hours in story or longer [with the bonus content you can just keep going]. Keep coming back here to find out more about Clay 2.

Best Regards [yes, back to that again]

Clay 2-Development Notes

We’ve decided to give you all a sneak peak at Clay 2. The sequal to Clay, this will have much nice graphics, longer gameplay, more difficulties, plus bonuses. Also, the blocks will come out in a random order, and there will also be an occasional wild block which can be placed anywhere. There will be an unlockable minigame in tetris style, which will be pretty hard. In all, it is estimated that the game should consume about an hour and a half or more of your time!

Now, enough with the telling, and we’ll start showing! Below are the blocks being used in the game. [image may be updated in the future]

Currently those are only just first drafts, not finals. The rainbow colored one is the wild block.

Best Regards–

(wait a second….time for something new)

What’s Next?

Well, we’ve gotten some requests as to what we plan on doing next. First of all, we’d like to launch Fill The Order (with a new name though), plus make Capsule 2 and Clay 2. Also, we are planning on making some more minigames, and here’s the order in which we will release them.

February:

1. Krainn [finally!]
2. Either ‘To The Top’ or the first Fill The Order minigame
3. Also, as an extra to make up for January, we will release a random level generator

March:

1. Clay 2 (a lot of development will be going into this, and we’re starting it now)
2. Either a shooting game or the second Fill The Order minigame

We’re not sure yet for April, but we would like to get FSS and some other biggys [Ball Wars II] out. Hope you guys stick with us through these next few months! Also, in January we had the lowest number of visits ever, and we hope that this month we’ll be getting more.

Krainn

We are nearly completed with Krainn, plus we’re almost done uploading Capsule.

Para Pro staff members will be beta testing Krainn soon, and it will be done on February 01. It’s going to have the option to play by yourself or with a friend, and there will be unique character abilites. There will be 15-20 levels–we’re not sure how many yet.

Game Updates

Well, first of all, I still get to blog to you guys! Secondly, we decided to post a list of the games we are working on along with a description as to what they are and what’s happening with them.

• KraiNn – this is a one person game, but you get to switch back and forth between two unique characters and help ‘each other’ in order to get all the keycards to open the exit. This will be done on February 01, and is coming along smoothly.
• Clay [Minigame] - this is a tetris style puzzle game with levels that get increasingly harder. It will be done this month [January].
• Dr. U’s Lab – this is a game where you must get each bottle of matching color in rows and ‘pop’ them to get points. We do not know when this will be completed.
• To the Top [Minigame] – this is a platform game in which you must reach the top of the game in a certain amount of time. This is very short and should only take you about 2 minutes to beat – if you don’t fall. This will be February’s minigame.

P.S. Hopefully we will soon be able to get the sound library up and running soon.

Announcment – What’s Happening

Well, there have been several request as to what is currently going on with Para Pro since we have not been posting much, if anything. Well, because all of us are in high school and have been working hard (at least that’s our excuse) we have not had much time to do much with the website. We are, however, starting back up with posting at least every week again. Except there’s something different.

This is my last time blogging to all of you anymore. I’m being replaced, probably by Zachary, and he may also take over Para Pro from me. I’m going to continue on working with Para Pro, but I’m no longer going to be the web designer, blogger, or owner. I’m instead going to focus only on creating games, since there are currently only two of us doing that right now. We are looking for another employee, one that is in TPS (TPS.StudyPlace.us) and has some experience in sound editing/creating and recording voices. We need this for our games, and because we are going to make some sounds to add to our website. Also, we are no longer going to continue adding graphics, as www.Nitronic.co.nr is doing that already and we create almost the exact same type of graphics as him.

So, in conclusion, we are now going to only do games, we need a TPS employeee, and we may add some sounds to our “library”. From now on, all our graphics/game sprites will be top quality and our games will be released nearly every other month, starting on February 01 (game will be called Krainn). We also have a new game, called Capsule, by myself, that we are going to put up shortly. Thank you for bearing with us the long Christmas season, and we hope you had a very special Christmas and New Years’ day.

Best Regards,
