New Years Resolutions

  • Was looking for a reason to learn sql, and was feeling the urge to play an oldschool pen and paper rpg.

    didn't like gurps licence, nor dnd's 'open' source licence, then while looking around, found legendary quest, which is kind of neat.…

  • somewhat random, got up to speed with SDL (simple media layer) to see what it could do for me to make my life easier, also rewrote my game engine to be a lot more generic and support unittest.

    grey image is having fun bluring the depth…

  • Note. Not my base mesh and texture, purchased a highres model from turbosquid (20000+ vertex, several 4098x4098 textures) and reduced it to 600 vert and a 2048x2048 texture page (for diffuse, alpha, normal and specular maps)

    was currious…

  • Have never done that much database/php stuff, but was currious if you could make a game using javascript/canvas rather than flash.
    this seemed fine till trying to get Internet Explorer to work, in which case i would like to think flash works…

  • Made an update for the Bikini Beach Volley Ball game, 4 new girls, one new location.
    Screen shots are from iPhone and iPad.

  • a week of prototyping (6 prototypes), 1 of which failed and not included, another of which i am still working on and not online yet (procrastinating by blogging rather than finishing it)

    Seems prototyping is the popular thing to do at the…

  • capture of iPhone gameplay of my lattest game, Bikini Beach Volleybal

  • and so the quick 2 week project to recover from a big project/ experement with stencil shadows is now up to the 4 week mark.
    wrote a gui/ font system and tools pretty much from scratch which is a good way of making a 2 week project take 4…

  • because i can, though the play mechanic is pretty much pong, and after spending the day making animation i'm kind of wiped out to type anything interesting.

    the main photo, had one of my female friends critique the bikini girls appearance…

  • Bit of a slow week, finished 'chico of the dead' (once it is available in the app store i get to start promoting it, fun) and during the recovery time after a big project, tidied up some randoms bits of tech, simplified renderer, and added…

some new years resolutions (some of which are serious, basicly reminding myself of things that i intend to do. Something to remember is that like dieting, if you fail once, it doesn't mean that you just give up....)

1. go outside once a day
2. not to stay out dancing after 12 midnight on a work night
3. never eat more than 650g of pizza in one sitting
4. not to stay up programming to 2am on a work night
5. exercise a few times a week
6. not to stay up reading to 4am on a work night
7. not to eat weatbix with ballies (was out of milk)
8. not to stay at work playing computergames well into the next day
9. not to start new projects without planning it out realistically
10. not to start new projects without finishing current project

[:D] Haha!! Now that?s funny! Actually, that reminds me of back when I was on schoolies (going back a bit now) and for some reason had a bowl of corn flakes and beer for breakfast. I later regurgitated the meal, and then went back to drinking. That?s what youth is for, I suppose.

My new years resolutions:
1.Draw something, anything, each day
2.Not to waste hours watching DVD?s when I should be working
3.Never to eat another pizza as long as I live, so help me God (years as pizza dude will do that)
4.Not to stay up modelling/texturing/animating past midnight on a work night
5.Get back into weight training before my hard earned muscle turns into a jelly-like substance
6.Never to stay up playing World of Warcraft all night ever again (I don?t think I can do this one though)
7.Not to skip a single art class, no matter how hard a day I have at work
