In my post entitled Addicted! I mentioned a breakout clone that simply had me addicted. It still does, and I still haven’t beat my highscore of 384. I think I should stop while I still have the chance. Just when I start playing games again, I realize why I shouldn’t play […]
One thing I didn’t mention here is I have a couple of “jobs” one is a phone game which I can’t really say much about, another is part of a web-based game called Droid Arena. It’s a game where you start out with some credits and you buy and build and then program with […]
Well I was talking to some guys on irc about adventure game design. The one guy I was talking to came up with a list of things to work on, and I sort of revised it. Here’s my progression:
So essentially Story, Characters, Puzzles, Inventory, Dialog, then visually, background and character design, background art […]
I’m evaluating engines as potentials for coding Hypno-Joe. I’ve run against an engine called PTK. Most notably because a Mr. Mark Fassett of Laughing Dragon Games keeps harping on how great it is. Well I haven’t actually looked at the engine itself. But I keep getting caught up by a little […]
Nope not once today, so I thought before midnight and before I go to bed I gotta put something in here. Essentially as I said in another post i’m busy on weekends. But i’ll try for at least once a day. Someone was mentioning todo lists. I don’t really use them […]

Because of said previous problem, I might have to wait until I get a better laserdisc player. But first i’ll have to sell this one. At least I have the laser discs themselves. I’m not one to lie so i’ll probably let the buyer know why i’m selling it. Maybe i’ll […]
Okay the first time i’ve posted in two catagories simultaneously, and even one catagory is a base catagory. In any case I was discussing with my friend Chris Tanner. He had looked at my post concerning learning c++ and making games. He thought I was talking about doing a learning game, that […]
Okay, well time has come that I should learn c++. I know C, I know some Pascal, even know a touch of basic and asm. However C++ is the money language. Okay yes there are newer languages out there, however right now the games industry still seems to see C++ as a […]
