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:
So, 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: Pwongis 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:
Just released my new game “Pwong”. An epic twist on the classic pong game!
Pwong will challenge your pong skills to the max. Can you handle up to 20 balls at once and rank as the ultimate “Pwong Pwner”? Choose from three different difficulties all with stunning graphics and high quality music. Easy to learn, but hard enough to master. Pwn that crazy AI, with your mad pong skills!

I’m just experimenting with mySQL databases a bit. Heres the result: Buy shares and sell them again. The shares will be updated through the mySQL database so its like a mini multiplayer experiment…
Just saw that my song scary ambience II is getting a lot of exposure. Over 4’000 listens already. Check it out! Not a real song more like a little ambience loop for a scary flash game. It placed in the top 10 for a week so I think thats the reason for it getting that many listens…
