Making lists equals progress.
Deviation from the list causes random impulse buys. Like buying an Android tablet when you’re half asleep, I think I was a little wasted and justified it by the ability to read hundreds of out of print books and all the classics in the public domain. Plus I can export my game projects and try out some tablet game design for the Android market. It’s quite a little powerhouse for a...
House Viewings.
We went to view two houses today, both are really nice. The houses weren’t falling apart, everything looked clean and new, and it’s a small independent business letting them ran essentially by one guy. He was polite and professional, and knew about Park Lane and their short comings, apparently a lot of his tenants come from there. The contract is also a lot more reasonable. One of the houses has...

Adventures in Game Design: The pain of...

I understand that visuals are important and having some ability to get ideas across on paper is important to the design process, but overall they expect 60 pages of drawings from each of us this term, the final 20 due in a little over 2 weeks. Really that’s the majority of work we do, I don’t see why it has to be so intensive, it...

Lone Survivor (Spoiler Free)
A game called Lone Survivor came out recently, I wasn’t going to get it until I got my work done, but I couldn’t help myself. Made by Jasper Byrne over 4 years, out on PC, Mac and Linux. It’s a side scrolling horror game with retro styled graphics.
You have to escape from a city after some outbreak. This concept isn’t anything new, but what it does is offer a choice on...
