Hey All!

So though it was about time i started to announce what I’m actually working on. Well the first thing that I’m going to start to create is the PulseEngine - A 2D/3D Game Engine to be used in future projects.

I’m still in the research stages so its gonna take a couple of weeks before i can start to show so progress but it should cover all the subsystems such as System, Audio, Rendering, Input, Networking, Physics, Collision and Scripting.

I Know i could go off and just grab one of the main available ones on the net but this will be great practice for me and help me developing my skills. And also having this ready and working will enable me to quickly produce other projects (which is good as one of the future projects will possibly be released episodically…)

I will keep you updated as the project goes along ^_^

Been checking a few Game Development blogs tonight and this link caught my eye. Its a bit late since Spore’s Inital impact has good but its really intresting none the less. Its a list of some of the prototypes created by the developers while making Spore.

Check them out here - http://www.spore.com/comm/prototypes

Hey All!

So last weekend I went back home to Derby to jump across to Nottingham to attend GameCityThree. Its a videogame festival that’s in its 3rd year. So far I’ve been to everyone as our lectures arrange for use to show up for at lease one of the days. The last two have been really good so i wasn’t going to miss this one. The last two years i have been to talks done by many great people such as Lorne Lanning (creator of the Oddworld series) and Keita Takahashi (creator of the Katamari series)

So since I’m not bound by lectures at Uni and some holiday at work i could take, I came back for the full weekend. The festival was spread over 3 days, Thursday to Saturday with various events and talks scattered throughout the days.

Read about my adventures over the 3 days after the break!
