Update 2005.09.09 - Zounds! Update! Forums! Explosions!

Hey there, it's time to update the good ol' site again, after having being non-updated for a whole month. Better catch up now than never. :)

First of all, I've decided to reopen my forums! After having attempted to open a messageboard back in 2001, I feel like trying again now. You have anything to ask or say about this site and the content found on it, please visit it now! Even if you have nothing to say at all, please do come anyway, there's a whole forum subsection for this business here. :)

The other music page has also been updated with a brand new composition by yours truly, which is called Dying Stars. I do think this is the better song I've made yet out of a technical viewpoint so far, although the melodies in it aren't the best thing out there. Please do give it a listen though, you might like it.

And finally, for those of you who have trouble beating Planet of Cartmans 2, never fear! There are cheat codes! If you can't beat one of the sections of the game using conventional means, this is one solution for you. I'll also have a FAQ page coming up soon which will deal with the trickiest parts and battles of the game, so stay tuned.

See you soon!

Update 2005.07.26 - Music pages have been updated!

New update time! Woooo! There's been a great share of additions to all of the music pages of the site, so let's break the whole lowdown now, shall we?

Firstly, I've released the complete soundtrack of my older game Cartman Force in the 2001 midis page for your listening pleasure! This may not be the best soundtrack I've made, but this was yet another step forwards in my compositions as I tried to composed different styles of music that I'm used doing. Hope you'll enjoy the compositions, even if they're quite dated by now. :)

Secondly, I've updated the more recent midi page in order to add some of the tunes I've composed in 2005 that weren't related to any of the projects I was working in plus I added in my favorite music pick of the newly-released Planet of Cartmans 2 in the 2004 section.

And finally; the other music page has been updated as well! There are quite many new songs on it; some are MIDI tunes that I've converted in audio format in order to stick with definite instruments or enhance the sound quality, others are brand new compositions that have been designed to be played in such a format. Please do check out those songs especially, as I'm quite proud of many of these tunes. :)

All for now, see you in a next update!

Update 2005.07.02 - Planet of Cartmans 2 v.1.1 is out

Hello everyone, time for a new update. I've just released a patch for Planet of Cartmans 2 in order to sort out some serious bugs that have been noticed shortly after the release of the game (with special thanks to RCBlazer for spotting most of these problems) whilst fixing some minor issues at the same time. The list of fixes of the game goes as follow:

  • Normal ending sequence now plays correctly
  • Copter Cartmans can’t fly upwards anymore when killed
  • Final Cartman can’t make you sink in the ground anymore
  • If the game crashes as you beat the final boss, you can see the ending sequence by going into the Resume menu in order to load the ending scene without beating the boss again
  • Removal of April’s Fools cheat code

The new version is a bit smaller, as well. If you haven't downloaded the game yet, consider yourself lucky! You'll have 5 whole megs to not download at all, considering this version has been trimmed down to 15 megs. Sorry for the quick rerelease of the game, but it's better to swear at your modem, downloading the game again rather than swear against the game for being buggy and being unable to beat the game correctly, right? So, download it right away. :)

Since that I've removed the April's Fools cheat code of Planet of Cartmans 2 (which allowed you to replay the fake version I've released on April 1st), I have now decided to bring it online on the site! If you didn't managed to download the game on April 1st, you'll finally be able to see the whole magnitude of frustration and hilarity that anxious POC2 fans have experienced as they expected to play the real game. Go into the Stinking Crap section of the games page to download it. :)

All for today, see you all at a later update!

Update 2005.06.27 - It is a great day indeed today for two reasons...

Hello everyone, here's the update that everyone who visits this site has awaited for so damn long. No jokes or cruel pranks this time, Planet of Cartmans 2 IS NOW OUT and ready for download on the site! What are you waiting for, already? Go and download it now! Be warned that the game size is really large (It's 20 megs big!) but it's worth the download. Trust me on this one. :)

Looking back at the game, I really do believe that this is the best game I've managed to release yet. It's pretty obvious that my game making skills have changed over the years and this is really apparent in the game at places, but in the end I feel that I made up an unified and coherent whole out of that game. And most importantly, it's fun to play! Who knows where I'll head up next after this, but all I know is that I just finished work on my biggest project ever undertaken so far. Enough rambling from my part, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. :)

Secondly, it's my birthday today! Hence why I decided to release the game today of all dates. :) The Cartman-hater who keeps ownership of that site turns 21 years old as for today! Yeah, there's really no age to stop being silly... and I'm happy with that. :D

So I pretty much consider POC2 as a birthday present to myself and to everyone else out there who waited for this game ever since it's been revealed to this public.

End of update is coming here. Enjoy the game!

Update 2005.06.01 - He's moving to the other side of the mountain...

Hey there, short update today. I know, that's not much of a good way to come back after a 2 month absence (on which POC2 got worked on, don't worry ;)), but this is simply to inform you all that this site's URL is changing in the next few days due to the site moving to a new host. From now on, the new URL shall be http://www.themaxproject.com/junkman. This link might not work quite yet due to the DNS still spreading around the Internet, but keep clicking once in a while and you'll eventually get to it. I also have a new spiffy mail adress as well, which now happens to be junkman (at) themaxproject (dot) com. My older address will still be operationnal, although it would be appreciated if you used that new address in the future.

As for the new kind people hosting the newer site and domain, give a hand to Dreamhost. They're an actually really nice webhost offering lots of storing room and bandwith, and for rather minimal prices to boot. If you happen to need a web host, you might want to pay these guys a visit. Oh, and if you do sign up, please do mention on their form that I sent you, right? ;)

So, on that said form, if you want to do so, write down "madmax147" on the referral bit. I won't bite you if you don't do so, but it would always help at keeping this site up and running.

All right, this shorter update took longer than I expcted. Blame these blatant plugs of mine! With that said, I'm off to finish Planet of Cartmans 2, which should be released the next time this site will be updated. :)

Goodbye everyone!
