Pwong 2 problems :(.
Friday, April 24th, 2009Hi again,
I Just wanted to tell you that you’ll have to wait a bit longer for Pwong 2. My system crashed when my computer was on low battery and then shut down completely when I was working on Pwong 2, which resulted in a corrupted file that couldn’t be opened in any way 
. I never had this happen to me ever before, and I didn’t backup my computer for 2 weeks. But luckily I still had the .swf file. So I had to buy a decompiler to retrieve all my work back. So now my .fla is a bit messed up, but at least I got it back. I won’t work on Pwong 2 for a while though, it may take about another month or two before I’m going to work on it again.
Thats the bad news, the good news is that I now have Flash CS4 and have another cool game idea on my mind. I even made a little Video of Pwong:
Pwong sucess story (and music!)
Sunday, April 19th, 2009So, one Month after release Pwong reached over a million plays on the whole web.
Here’s a list of some major achievements: 03/19/2009: Pwong was released on Newgrounds. First it’s score was around a 3.6 so I was a bit disappointed, but then over night it rose to a 4.0. 03/20/2009: Pwong is awarded the “Daily 3rd Place” on Newgrounds. So it spread out to some sites, but nothing spectacular. 03/21/2009: Pwong got frontpaged on Newgrounds. And then everything kicked in, a lot of popular sites like notdoppler and bubblebox added it. Also the score rose to a 4.2 . 03/25/2009: Pwong is the weekly 3rd best game on Newgrounds, which lead to it being played even more. It once even got 100’000 plays in a single day. 03/27/2009: Pwong has been played over half a million times around the web. 04/14/2009: Pwong went live on Armor Games. 04/15/2009: Pwong reaches ONE MILLION plays around the whole web!!
Also a lot of people have been e-mailing me about the song used in the game. The song is a Popcorn remix by the talented EON. You can listen to it and download it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/133937
I already started developing the second one, and I hope to release it by the end of next week. Here’s of screenshot of the menu I have to far:
