This is the official Newgrounds Pass 3 Log, where I will display the progress of the game throughout it's production, the log will be updated every Tuesday.
Important News:
If you guys have seen DreamworX's(now known as knugen) latest news post, you will know that he is the main coder for the game. He will be in charge of creating the intergrated chatroom in the game, the saving system, some mini game coding and general NGP3 shenanigans! So NGP3 should be a lot more advanced than the previous two games.

Total Progress:
9/2/08 - 30/30 levels complete. There are still a bunch of glitches which are difficult to solve. Shouldn't be long though.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!
2/2/08 - 30/30 levels complete. Polishing off the achievement system and the secret areas, it will be out very soon.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!
26/8/08 - 30/30 levels complete. Some crazy stuff happened, anyway, the game will be out in a few days.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!
19/8/08 - 30/30 levels complete: 25 levels need to be approved by knugen, 9 levels need to be further coded by knugen). There is some good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Chatroom feature probably will not happen anymore, this is because they require a server, all the servers we looked at either cost loads of money to run or they use AS3 (we are using AS2). Also, knugen's internet connection is going offline on Monday next week due to the fact that he is trying to get a better service provider. Anyway, that means that knugen has to finish all of his coding parts in like 5 days, which is tight, so he really doesn't have time to finish the chat. The good news is that the game could be released some time next week, providing that people are willing to help me beta test it. Oh yeah, an there's going to be downloadable content!
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] (100.00%) OMG!

Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++++++++=====] (83.33%)
5/8/08 - 19/30 levels complete: (17 levels need to be approved by knugen, 5 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Waiting for knugen to come back online, then we can finish this.
Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++===========] (63.33%)
29/7/08 - 19/30 levels complete: (17 levels need to be approved by knugen, 5 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Things are coming along great now, I still have a bunch of other ideas for new levels. I'm hoping at this rate the game will be out by late August. Sorry, for the late progress entry, I was on holiday and couldn't get to the internet.
Level Progress: [+++++++++++++++++++===========] (63.33%)
22/7/08 - 14/30 levels complete: (12 levels need to be approved by knugen, 4 levels needs to be further coded by knugen). Progress is picking up fast now, the good ideas for levels are starting to come into my mind. Sorry, for the late progress entry, I was on holiday and couldn't get to the internet.
Level Progress: [++++++++++++++================] (46.66%)
15/7/08 - 8/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Still slow progress, but I'm off school now so I can work on the game more.
Level Progress: [++++++++======================] (26.66%)
8/7/08 - 7/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Sorry guys, things have been really hectic recently, knugen doesn't seem to have the internet up and running (because of the whole moving house thing xD), Morrowdays and I are wrapping up the Cardboard City Collab and I still have to do some artwork for the collab's preloader game coded by non other than Coolio-Niato. I'm still at school and have to do some coursework already, also I've been employed by Xceed as a pixel artist for a massive RPG game he is hoping to release in the near future. Don't worry, I'll still be working hard on NGP3 as well ;)
Level Progress: [+++++++=======================] (23.33%)
1/7/08 - 7/30 levels complete: (6 levels need to be approved by knugen, 1 level needs to be further coded by knugen). Things are running smoother now, the chatroom is almost finished according to knugen, who is moving house at the moment and it's just a case of completing these levels and the all important secret areas.
Level Progress: [+++++++=======================] (23.33%)
24/6/08 - 3/30 levels complete: (3 levels need to be approved by knugen). I have finished the achievement layout and graphics, Knugen has begun coding the achievement system. The layout is coming along nicely as well. The menu is fully fnished as well and I have started work on the secret areas.
Level Progress: [+++===========================] (10.00%)
17/6/08 - 3/30 levels complete: (3 levels need to be approved by knugen). I have mainly been working on the layout and thinking about possible levels. Meanwhile, knugen has been working on the chatroom and he has finished the saving system.

Blog:
I started the production of NGP3 about 2 weeks ago, by making the menu screen. Then I 'attempted' to code the saving system but failed. I asked knugen for some coding help and he ended up helping me so much that he became the main coder for the game. Anyway, from now onwards, we will work together to create the most exciting, entertaining and versatile Newgrounds Pass sequel ever. I'm not sure when the game will be done, probably 2 months at least. stay tuned for more updates.
