This week I started my first full-time job, so I'm going to have a lot less spare time on my hands. Firstly, that means a lot less posting on gamedev...
*waits for the cheering to stop*

Today I am not posting from Tenerife. That is all.

I'm just posting to let you guys know I'm going away for a week. So if your PM's go unanswered I'm not being rude [smile]
I feel like a bit of a Good Samaritan today. In the past 48 hours I've given out 11 Gmail invites to people who wanted them. I hope you guys all enjoy them.
Back soon [grin]

I have no work related news worth passing on to you guys today, but something did make me laugh. Acoustica's visit to San Diego turned out to have a more sinister motive, namely that he was sent to spy on yours truly. This is just one of the many surveillance photos he now has of me:

This isn't related to my project, but it's good fun nonetheless (finally, some of the "random mcguffins" I promised you in my journal description!). What am I blithering about? Well, I have been immortalized in one of boolean's great GameDev.net themed comics, and it's even relevant to the title of…

Today I started writing a few scripts for my project, including the games intro. I've written a few simple scripts before, but had never really looked into how it is done by the professionals.

Just a quick update, until the design doc I'm working on is complete I won't have much to show off [depressed]
Anyway, its now 25 pages long (there are pics and everything!), and starting to get interesting. I decided it would be nice if the game characters had slang terms for the important stuff in…

Greetings. Welcome to my own little corner of GameDev. Please excuse the odour [grin]
So, what am I up to at the moment? I'm currently working on a design document for a game I'm going to be developing in my spare time over the next few years. When it's half decent I'll present it to the community f…
