Long sad absence

I have been away for quite some time now. The reason being that my computer is currently not operational. The power cable is broke so it is now nothing more than a big, ugly, paper weight. That will be remedied here in the near future, but that hasn't stopped me from working on some game related stuff.

I now have all the graphics and music for Paddles and Balls, so as soon as that is up and running then we can throw it all together and put out a released product. A HUGE thanks to Shaun Mitchell for the graphics and to Edward Ryan for the music. It all turned out way above my expectations. I am seriously hoping for the chance to work with both of these guys again in the near future.

In addition to gathering everything together for Paddles and Balls, I have also started the organizational and planning that is needed for a team effort that I have joined. It is called Infinite Universe and I will be doing large amounts of programming to help out those guys. They are all really ambitious, know exactly what they want, and have a load of art work done already so I have a bit of catching up to do on that one. This won't stop me from working on my own games, it will just slow the wheels of progress a bit. That is not a bad thing, because experience working in a group like surely can't hurt anything.

Speaking of my own games, I already have the vague idea down for my next game. It is something that I can't actually remember seeing anywhere and I am really excited about it. I will give out more details about that one once I get some more planning done on it. It is really amazing how much I can get done without my computer to mash out code on. I think I might have to take a break from coding more often. Really helps to keep things organized and slow the spinning out of control.

Until next time...
Enjoy!
