Expect more updates for sure. I don’t care what it’s about, you will see more.

That and you have to play inFAMOUS.

Trying…

I’m trying to keep this up to date, but I really don’t have anything new to say. I hope to have a prototype soon (with some really bad programmer art) to have at least something to show.

Update

// June 27th, 2009 // View Comments // Project Optimus

Two things I have learned since starting my projects is, I underestimate everything and in the process overestimate my capabilities. I finally got a very basic framework setup that is very much influenced by XNA. An excellent framework limited only by the fact that only two platforms can use it  (if even that). It will be mostly 2D, using C++ and SDL/OpenGL under the hood. After all this time of messing with SDL, now is when I’m getting the hang of it. I love how much you learn by doing.

Enough of this pointless post… Expect more detailed explanations soon about my experiences so far.

Programming

Finally getting a good understanding of my programming skills. Not as good as I thought they were. Might have something to do with C++… Only one way from here, up!

website, blog, home, space?

// May 13th, 2009 // View Comments // What

It’s been a while since my last serious post. Still working on Project B and Project Optimus. I just wanted to take a time out and discuss a little bit about what I hope to accomplish with this site.

Basically this is my personal site/blog/space. Can’t make any promises but I will mostly stick to game development and game related topics (industry/business and indie news, critiques, etc.). But it won’t be limited to such topics; we all need some diversity. As I said this is my site so anything goes.

I definitely want to use this tool to my advantage. That is to respectfully get both of my projects and my name out in the open. What I don’t want happening is for this blog to take over my work. Both projects come first so if time allowing, you will see updates. Goal is to have 3 or 4 post a month but we’ll see.

How David Beats Goliath

A great read, that I found via Raphael Koster. I always love challening “the norm”.

And let’s remember why Goliath made that rule: when the world has to play on Goliath’s terms, Goliath wins.
