9-5 Experiment Day 2

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Failure. You read it right. Day two would have been yesterday (Tuesday the 17th). Unfortunately I didn’t get up early enough to do my full schedule. So I counted it as a day off. In fact I’ll have more days off upcoming, especially when I get one of my teeth […]

The 9-5 Experiment 1st Day

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Well a quick note. I had to make two concessions in my regular “9-5″ day. Firstly, we watch alot of movies and as such go to our local library all the time. I can’t really get to the library on the weekends or evenings so I need to do it during my […]

The 9-5 experiment

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

In a thread I started on the indiegamer forums I posted a link to a news article about a company making their employees only work from 9-5 (only an 8 hour day) and not allowing them internet or games during their work day. Supposedly they hit every milestone and no one is overworked and […]

Enchanted Lands Resort - Final Overview

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Okay here it is. I finally decided on a story. Well it’s what I wrote before only this solves the problems of my previous stories being a little different. I’m going to reveal everything this game will have to offer including backstory and spoilers. I’ll indicate whether the post contains […]

Hypno-Joe

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

As stated before (at least I think I did). I’ll be using the Scrolling Game Developers Kit to prototype hypno-joe. Today’s list item was to read all the docs of it before going into the tutorial. I had planned on reading the tutorial first as well, and also read the scripting documentation […]

Phone Game

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Well I got done with what I needed to of that. Well enough to say i’m done and move on to another item of the “list”. Of course the successful indie mantra is “Do it now” which means if I have more I can just do, I should do it now. But […]
