Yes there will I've been working on it the last... year.
As for the Euphoric Rush site, I haven't done much to it, but it'll be a fairly basic design. I've been busy with other things to work on both properly.
I can beat 3 years, I started Zombies Now in 1999, and it's had about 5 different engines and 3 complete graphics overhauls, and it's only now that it's on a proper track to completion.
It's kinda like the Duke Nukem Forever story, actually.
Okay Circy, i just wanted reasurance it was still in progress . Since MSD was my favorite platformer. And i did see a short clip of MSD2 in another thread, you had posted a link. It looks great.

Too hard? Luckily, I keep everything. Enjoy:
"Intro... this game... has been in progress for over a year... no, stay, sit. I'm not busting your balls. Shut up, you need to learn trust. No foolies. The hype affecting this review? No... my expectations were about as high as they were from announcement to completion, with the demo dramatically helping it stat firmly in place. Here we go, the review of Mr. Stump(')s Dentures:
I'm not one to be overly critical, as you can see from my previous reviews here at this fine website... and I don't think I'm being overly critical here either. It's just what I think. Let's start at the easiest place... the graphics... Imagine Circy's well-established world. Here, to protect themselves from the environment, each plant, animal, building and generic little dude has grown a 2nd layer of outline-o-skeleton. Also, it appears everything is made of (Very dithery) paper that is either slightly bent on the horizontal or vertical plane. Odd, you might say. But anything is possible inside the body of a very disturbed individual such as Mr. Stump. Now, the graphics are shockingly simple to allow for diarrea-smooth animations.... right? RIGHT??? Oh... Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean anything by it, really!
Now the much-bragged about gameplay comes into my sadistic spot-light: Ok, have you played Santa's Christmas Cracker? Or bychance have you sampled the Wibble Wacky World demo? Well, congratulations, folks; you've played Mr. Stumps Dentures! You can all take a breather and give your respective selves a pat on the back. Now where were we... oh, yes. What would a Circy game be without the horribly unforgiveable difficulty? Well, better for one thing, but let's get off of that dream, for if it is to come true one day, today is not such a day! Get this: You have 3 lives.... to complete.... the whole fucking... err, the whole decently-lengthy (Happy? Freakin' mormons...) game with... add unbearably cheap bosses and unusually hardcore level design, mix, bake with Circy's special topper (Read: Semen) for 30 minutes. The first time I got the game over screen I was more than annoyed. "Oh no! I have to replay that substage again!" floated through my flimsy mind. Then it came across the possibility that I might have to replay the entire stage again and I was mortified to say the least. Then the Euphoric Rush logo greeted me. My emergency responce executed and my fingers immediately went to the alt and the F4 to end my suffering. Ok, so he wants us to replay the game as some evil way for us to play the game extra carefully (IE: NO!). And I would have had much less of a problem with it if the actual game were more fun than staring at my keyboard while a sole string of drool runs down my face... Errrm, continue on, faithful readers:
The goal: To get to the little vent thingy (What is that anyhow?). The obstacles: Endless amounts of similarly behaving enemies with not only no intelligence but extremely limited movements. Of course you have to jump 5 or 6... thousand times to reach the end, but everything is so bland, so repetetive, that you'd rather walk up to one of the millions of guys that look just like you and commit assisted suicide. Any special tricks to mix things up? Well, there's springs! Totally, inspiringly fresh idea! Moving platforms make a few million appearances to spice things up, too! There's a few gimmicks per level but nothing truly adds to the gameplay, but rather is a dreary excercise in timing (Read: Patience). This does not a good game make, folks... Oh, and the boss fights are not only cheap, boring and too lengthy, but they are extremely repetitious... not to mention cheap, boring, and too lengthy! There's also more random niggles thrown in to bother you as a special bonus! Witness the amazing timed death-traps that only start when you're right next to them, so you stop yourself from having a speedy good time to wait for the gapingly huge interval and continue on your not-so-merry way unto madness. Then you meet the fun snow level where you not only lose your footing on icy ground but on normal ground and in the middle of the air too! Add hideous jumping excersizes and you can easily lose all 3 lives... because you'll be too busy growing an anurism to care about keeping Mr. Jerkoff alive.
The sound? You know that thing inside your PC called a "PC speaker"? Well, Circy stuck a mic up to his tower and performed some illegal operations (Read: Michael Jackson) to capture this stunning collection of sound bytes! The music? It ain't bad, and it's original too, so a bit of props to the outline (rain) man are in order!
Bottom line: I want my god damned quarter back, you stupid $$%^&$&^&*$%^$%^"

last time I heard fully illegal creditless ripping of commercial sprites YOU WERE DOING IT AND LYING ABOUT IT! What a coincidence. Go away. NO! Not that way, you must take the special route, the walk of shame...
Haha, this is so funny it's lame. Come February, MSD would have been on the net for a year. Since then, it has appeared at Gamehippo and Home Of The Underdogs. I've been approached by various magazines around the world wanting it to be in their publications. Whether you like it or not, MSD has been very successful, and very popular. I have asked for none of this. I have not approached the magazines. I have not approached the websites. If it were to get all that publicity, MSD must have something going for it. Now go home and make another crappy (and insignificant) Evil Dead game.
heheh, too bad all the other people don't think so.
This reminds me of when I released Fishhead 3. I didn't think it was such a great game
but it was a big succes anyway, and smelly people started to hate me just cuz of that.
if TOR is such a bad game why has it had a similar treatment to MSD? lolzers its been in, 5 i think? european mags and 1 australian. and like Circy, i didnt ask for any of this. i simply posted it on my site and a couple of community sites, and its magically getting hundreds of downloads a day and in 6 mags (3 of which didnt even ask me)
anyway whats up JD? are you after attention? oh well everyone needs to get thier kicks from somewhere, im just glad i dont get mine from posting bollocks on DC
Oooh... really couldn't say, Coop. Probably not very far. I'm trying to create some decent level designs.

I never said anything about TOR (Which is unplayable by the way). I just said you're a disgusting graphics thief and the general consensus around the community is you should just take your last shred of dignity and leave immediately.
Anyone can make a mario clone with shitty graphics, it's like doing a colour by numbers book. Magazine put your game in because it's free, not because its cream of the crop.
Yes, MSD was pretty successful. Whether it deserves it is a matter of opinion; personally I really don't think so. To be honest it doesn't really bother me one way or another; the only thing that does is Circy totally denying anybody's right to dislike his 'masterpiece'. You can't please everybody all of the time, Circ; just be grateful a mystifyingly large proportion of people seem to like it.
This bit goes for jay too: I could take a picture of my arse and probably get it in Loaded. It doesn't mean my arse is a fantastic gameplaying experience. And at least my arse doesn't contain any ripped sprites.
"Well we ALL think our own games are better than everyone elses." - This is the route of all sucking. All games have flaws - admitting it will help you make a better game next time around.
I just got home from another day of teaching 14 year olds, and it seems its just the same here.
Some people I used to respect are really disappointing me here. When will you guys stop whining about Jay ripping gfx? Its just something he might have done long ago, but why keep bugging him about that? Same goes for this MSD thing, how can you still be angry about something that happened almost a year ago? Maybe "I hope your mum will be ran over by ar car" is a bit harsh, but its still long ago. This is just the internet you know, and making games is just a hobby, and it's just pretty cool when your games are in mags and get good reviews on sites and stuff. You are taking it all way too serious, just like I did a couple of years ago.
Btw, to stay on topic, I am looking forward to MSD2.
I'm not denying anyone the right to have a negative opinion on my game. But you gotta admit, the way that Dustin wrote the MSD review at Klik-Me was pretty unpleasant. If he doesn't like the game, then I'm cool with that. I just wish that whenever theres an MSD post cropping up that he doesnt try to convince everyone to hate it aka "Anyone who liked MSD has my sympathy".
MSD had flaws. It was hard to kill enemies without getting hurt and the lack of a proper save feature narked almost everyone off. But I'm not making games for anyone here; I make them for myself because its a hobby which I enjoy. I like to share my work around, and if you don't like my constant double edged outlined graphics and 2D platformers, well, tough luck. Nobody's forcing you to play my games.
People like Dustin just don't get it do they? No matter how many people disagree with what they say, they go on and bloody on. It's like they are right no matter what people say.
Dustin, haven’t you worked out why you’ve been banned so many times now? Or doesn’t the fact that you are unwanted become apparent in that thick skull of yours?
This is weird.. why is everyone going crazy about this game.

Actually I think it's my magnum opus, review-wise. What's ironic about this whole mess is Circy did an equally negative review/followup to Punch it! The difference? Punch It! wasn't made by an admin on the Daily Click. They're equally disgusting games.
Now you're going too far. Punch it should be made illegal, there was nothing bad about MSD (well, maybe there was when you pressed 'start game', depending on your opinion).
whats wrong with MSD is its an average game, and circy is being a pompous asshole about it. hes rubbing in magazine appearences and other shit that i dont care about in our faces

The very first platformer, Donkey Kong, featured score pickups, a weapon powerup, and many different enemies. Mr. Stump(')s Dentures features... MEDKITS.
That's not average, that's BELOW average. Circy's a grown man, certainly he could have realized he was making the most shallow game on Earth. He's very capable of creative thought, and chooses to shove this mindless crap into the world. THAT is why it's as disgusting as Punch it! Nuklear is just honestly retarded, Circy has no excuse.
