My Journey

Hey loyal readers, all one hundred and fifty million of you (give or take a few hundred million), here's your update for this week since my internet has been down I'm afraid.

I've really gotten into 3D modelling, I've been doing some video tutorials and so far just taking it slow by learning all the basics thoroughly before I move on.

I did however make a cake, a chocolate cake with pink icing and a candle! I'll post a picture of it soon for you all to admire!

I'll keep you updated since I'm back at university in two days, learning more programming and design things that I'm sure will keep me nice and busy.

A friend of mine, finally, has sent me loads of sample code from my last semester (everyone else I asked either ignored me or hadn't done the work!) and now I can finally use it to compare and learn from. Expect lots more programming progress from now on!

First off let me just re-introduce you to this book, I'm almost done and it is very insightful and a fascinating read.

Moving on to more pressing matters: it is nine days from now until I begin semester two of my course. The subjects I am taking are C/C++ Programming, Digitial Video & Audio, Fiction Writing and Engineering Mathematics.

I'm going to be focusing all my efforts into the programming parts obviously since they're the most important but I aim to get at least distinctions in everything if I can.

Expect more frequent posts as I'm forced to do more programming homework and projects.

Because this blog is a bit boring, primarily because I have nothing decent to show yet because my skills aren't sufficient enough, I've decided to stray a little sometimes with articles on Game Design, Game Theory and similar things since it is part of my course to study these kind of things (and because I enjoy doing it anyway).

I also, in the future, want to start some tutorials in C and whatever else I learn, so I may help others do what I'm trying to do - maybe even ease their process a little.

Well I continued working on my text adventure game a little, yes I know I'm a bit over the place with my projects but this is how I work for some reason!

I'm collaborating on this project with an aspiring writer and friend of mine, Colin, whom I gave him a simple premise and he's ran with it creating a hilarious script that's still being updated with more and more side splitting moments.

I'm hoping that when my skills improve, I can transform this from a text adventure and into a point and click game. The narrative is pure gold in my opinion and I want as many people to experience it as possible; perhaps I'll make it into a Flash game so that it's easier to share around the internet?

But alas at the moment it is simply in a black and white window with just text but hopefully come release day it'll be a fully fledged hilarious game for everyone to enjoy.
