“Delaysers”

   Posted by: Con in News, Rant

Seems that  I’ve run into a series of “delays” over the course of this month.

Between two total reinstalls of Vista and now my video card up and dying on me, even though it’s only 2.5 years old, I’ve been trying to finish a game.

It’s been somewhat frustrating not being able to finally nail Juggerdome. It has given me the chance to get further into planning the next Last Stand. I can safely say that it’ll be the biggest project I’ve ever worked on and I’m busting to get started.

Here’s to hoping the next week or so goes smoothly once my new graphics card arrives.

Of course I’ll probably just stay off this site for a bit to delay the inevitable. 01010100 01101000 01100101 01001101 01100001 01110100 01110010 01101001 01111000, or something like that.

  • jeffrey

    dude con u have the best flash games i have seen……..good luck with last stand 3 it is going to be the best jeffrey

  • Tuscanraider

    Will you be making any more Warfare Games?

    Yep. But they won’t be chronological and they probably won’t have firearms in them. It’ll also be a few games from now, I’ve got at least two other titles I want to build before then.

    - Con

  • Andrew

    No firearms? CAVEMAN WARFARE HAHA

  • HIPPIESLAYER

    I guess anyone who asks can expect the same old “sometime next week” for a while.

  • mp5xm8

    My friend’s 2 month old laptop crashed. It had windows vista, now its been totally unusable for 2 weeks. It had a fatal error.

    On the bright side you and him can look forward to a free copy of windows 7, that is hoping it isn’t as buggy or annoying as vista. I’m running XP so I’m happy. :D

  • Kiler

    I think last stand 3 will be a prequel to Last stand 1 and 2!

    There are my doubts, but that is entirely up to Con to decide. Until then feel free to post opinion. If what I’ve seen from certain players of ConArtist Games is that they somewhat do not like sequels. Look at Warfare 1944, that single game attracted trolls and apparently confused people with it’s new and entirely genius resource system that made the game a challenge. Mostly the challenge came from people who were so used to just spamming away troops that they didn’t know how to deal with this new system that suddenly limits their ability to do things. Overall the game remained simple enough for us educated folk to get the hang of easily while blundering the stupid people (and confusing the crowd that prefers mind calming monotony over actual tactics). Either way I am looking forward to Juggerdome, whatever the hell it may be.

    Oh, and…

    You are too late my young trolling friend, try finding a much slower community.

  • Travis

    No offence Con. But we would appreciate it if you would actually post a little on the forums and keep us updated. And update us with a post on the forum every week or so. Every time you do not reply for a month and don’t visit the forums for a month, we think you are dead or have given up. So please, update us on the forums every week or so.

    Making games is my full time job, I’m not going anywhere. Answering to the whims of impatient and over imaginative fans is not. I’m constantly posting responses to comments and updating my twitter account, I’d rather be spending my time actually building games than doing that.

  • Josh

    impressive, joel you know something about binary code (though that code doesn’t mean anything) all codes must start with zero! and binary codes always need to start with zero!
    good work, few people know that.

  • Valhelm

    Here’s to finishing Dome, Con.

    When will you be able to start back up on the game?

    Hopefully today. Still waiting on the card arriving.
    - Con

  • bubbleboy231

    can u give us a hint on what juggerdome is gonna be. and is the last stand 3 the last one in the series?

  • Matt

    Matt is back! Con, windows sucks. I had to downgrade my Vista to Xp until the new version came out! Anyway Matt wishes you good luck with the graphic card.

  • Kris

    Hmm, I wonder if juggerdome will like your other games? Like the last stand or warfare. You know, killing stuff ;)

  • Luke Crackman

    good luck with juggerdome, oh and vista sucks (well for me it does, vista slows my computer like it was built in 1995 or something)

  • Mike

    This is great news! Here’s hoping you pick the latest videocards.

    “I can safely say that it’ll be the biggest project I’ve ever worked on and I’m busting to get started.”

    Are you married?

  • Dave

    That was a little random….

    I agree. Are you Turkish?
    - Con

  • Smith

    I wonder if Juggerdome will be related to the Australian sport in any way….

    Anyway, good luck fixing your card, even though I know that you probably are going to have no trouble whatsoever fixing it.

    Thanks and yeah, it’ll be a matter of old out, new in and go.
    - Con

  • Dave

    Nope I’m not

    It seems the randomness was lost.
    - Con

  • Jromanoh

    Lookin forward to it con, i have wasted alot of times on flash games over the years and so far your indisputably the best. Last Stand 3 is up there with Call of duty modern warfare 2

  • caleb

    your a jerk

    You’re a jerk. You’re. Contraction of “you” and “are”.
    - Con

  • TheChosenOne

    A quick question, Con, do you ever read the General Banter forum (not saying I think you should just asking)

    Occasionally. Every time I do I consider finding some way to shoot it into the sun. I despise forum games…

    - Con

  • Kris

    Whoa. I was just playing Counter Strike Condition Zero, when I noticed something… almost all the weapons in The Last Stand games are shown in CS. Everything from the rocket laucher to the pump action shotgun to the basic hand gun. Cool. (I thought I just put that out there.)

    Kinda, they’re all just fairly common military and law enforcement weapons. I tried to only include stuff that would be somewhat available in a real world situation.
    - Con

  • Singid25

    Please don’t blast the General Banter into the sun! It’s the only life I have!

    Maybe you could name it the Spam Banter since it basically turned into that.

  • Thomethom

    The picture on this and the last post, where are they from?
    Sorry bad english

    They’re both from Austin Powers 2, I think.
    - Con

  • http://AustinPowers Kris

    They’re both from Austin Powers 2, I think.
    - Con

    Yeah they are. The bald guy that you see in both pictures is Dr. Evil. The movie is a little demented. There are three movies in total. Oh from that post I put on earlier about CS, I was going to ask you if you had any interest in puting a new weapon in the Last Stand series.(Maybe a auto shotgun.) :)

  • Kris

    YOU THINK THAT THE ROCHET LAUCHER IS A BASIC LAW ENFORCEMENT WEAPON!?! WHEN ARE THE COPS GOING TO START BLASTING ROCHETS AT SOMEONE!!

    I said military as well champ.
    - Con

  • Kris

    Oh yeah, sorry.

  • Exeara

    Listen guys, or gals. You should really stop suggesting stuff such as 1. Will there be 4 player multiplayer Huh HUH!? 2. Don’t suggest MODERATORS! If you follow these rules it’ll give con some time to brainstorm on LS. Instead of having to reply to EVERY single comment/PM! Give the guy A break!

  • Darth Vader’s Uncle’s Cousin’s former roommate

    The picture from the august post looks like Dr. No. from James Bond, the movie Austin Powers is a spoof of.

  • Incariuz

    Sorry to hear about issues slowing down your work. I myself can’t wait for LS3, I’ll probably dance around like a twit when it’s released, lol. Your work is probably the only work in this level of gaming that I’ve been able to stay interested in, and play for more then a day, and I hope to see much more as time goes on. Good luck on your future projects.

  • Valhelm

    Any updates on Dome, Con?

    We yearn to know.

    Late tomorrow. A big one.
    - Con

  • HIPPIESLAYER

    I thought I’d resurrect the randomness. Do you like garden hoses?

  • Josh

    are you just blocking all my comments!?!

    Sorry Josh, they might’ve been deleted amongst some others. Feel free to re-post them.
    - Con

  • indyguy99

    hey con, a quick recomendation, you should bring back the barret from the last stand 1 i know you have porobably already made up your mind on this one but i really missed that weapon in the last stand 2.

    Thanks guy. I’m not sure how useful a 6 ft sniper rifle will be when a zombie is right on top of you though…

    - Con

  • http://URIDoyoumeanURL? Disturbed-Child

    Can’t wait for the Last Stand 3,I can’t really say much for the Juggerdome since I have no clue what so ever on what it is about. Juggerdome should be good, considering all the games you made so far are pretty awesome.

    Thanks. Juggerdome will be like the popcorn of my games. Quick, fun to eat.
    - Con

  • Mp5xm8

    Con will any snipers be included in juggerdome? Any high caliber weapons?

    Also the barret helped a lot in the last stand one cause you had your chainsaw for the close range ones and your barret could take out a zombie in one hit just like the sniper in the last stand 2. though i imagine if you included it in the last stand 3 it would go straight through a couple zombies and give some massive damage.

    The last stand 3 i would presume it would have something so we can switch weapons in battle between the player and the helper characters, so you can kinda have an extra weapons lot to switch to a close range wep in battle.

    No snipers in Juggerdome, but there is a LASER!
    - Con

  • Josh

    i do have a sujestion,it would take a extra 4 weeks or so, but you should add a “sandbox” mode to let people play without a time limit

    DO NOT DELETE THIS!!!!!

    OK! TO WHICH GAME ARE YOU REFERRING?
    - CON

  • Kris

    Laser? What the heck is is a laser!?! (Maybe a lazer.) Any way Juggerdome sounds like a pretty cool game….GIVE US A HINT WHAT IT IS PLEASE!! eye twitch*

  • Josh

    LS3

  • Disturbed-Child

    Ok so what I can understand so far is juggerdome is a fighting-ish game? Pretty quick game once you understand how to play
    Its not a warfare type game since there are lasers in it
    A near future combat based game?
    Well I don’t know , Since combat is referred to warfare.

    Am I any where close at all?

  • Mp5xm8

    No snipers in Juggerdome, but there is a LASER!
    - Con

    Zoo-Wee Mama! Juggerdome sounds like an unreal tournament now. :D

  • Andrew

    Lasers….hmmmm. SHOOP DA WHOOP BLARRGHH!
