My Journey

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.

Hey everyone, I know panic has ensued at my disappearance recently. I've not had a lot of time for programming since I just started a new job and things have been busy already!

I'll be practising tonight and tomorrow as much as possible since I have some spare time whilst my girlfriend is away. I also just started reading a new book, which definitely appeals to me.

 I'm actually borrowing it from my library, I'm surprised they have this book since the only other computer related books they have are "Laptops for Seniors" and the like but this one sounds like it's just up my alley, so to speak.

I'm feeling very disheartened, this assignment was for people with only a few weeks knowledge of C, I've been doing C for months and can't quite get this to work!

I've made good progress but the fact that this progress hasn't been swift makes me feel a little disappointed in myself as I feel as if my skills should be much more progressed by now.

Good news after the jump:

I'm taking a break from C for a day or two to work more on my Platform Shooter!

I know  I haven't given anyone much info on this so I'll fill you in now:
