| Lack of interest... |
|---|
| Thank you for taking the time to read this entry for the foreseeable future it will be the last. I know two thirds of my viewing public ad there both called Paul, the last I have no idea about, but as I have had very little in the way of feedback on the comments and because this blog has failed in it's original purpose which was to motivate me to work toward my goal of completing the Bert Higgins project I am moving my development blog to an undisclosed location, if you are interested in seeing what little progress I'm making then ask me and I'll send you the details. -- T.T.F.N.

Documents of Newly Published Xbox Live Game Made Public - Jill Duffy[09.03.08]James Goddard recently pitched a game to Microsoft for inclusion on Xbox Live Arcade. His game, Shred Nebula, was accepted. One of the crucial steps in landing this achievement was creating two official documents: a pitch paper and a manuscript required by Microsoft known as "60 seconds of gameplay." I think it's a good read.... |

| With everything in the press about illegal downloads, selling secondhand games, and overzealous copy protection. I thought I'd share this with anyone who cares... |

| Power tools and how to hurt yourself. |
|---|
| That's right I have been doing man things today, Wife told me a few weeks back that if I didn't sort out the shelves in the hall cupboard that I would feel her wrath, it was quite nice, so today she asked if I would sort out the shelves once and for all... I had a brief thought that I should put my boots on before starting, I didn't, anyway I was well into putting up the supports in the fore mentioned cupboard when I realized I had not picked up the bag of screws. So I put down the power drill and walked out into the hallway towards the stairs and turned the air blue as I kicked the door frame with my left foot not mind you with any of the major toes O no with my little toe the smallest toe in existence and I KICKED the door frame with it. In a grump I was halfway up the stairs to go get my Boots when Wife finally shows some concern and says she had better check it before I cover it up, to my relief I had actually damaged it. I've taken the skin clean of the top/front of my toe, don't ask, I don't know either. Only thing is I made myself look like a total girly wuss because I have the most ticklish feet in the world and everytime Wife touched them to try and mop up some of the blood, I kept squealing, the pain was the normal I just stubbed my toe pain but she almost got my foot in her mouth every time she touched my foot. I love Wife very much. she puts up with alot, like when I'm being Mr Poopyhead. She does not deserve a kick in the head for trying to help. later she let me use the nailgun to fix bits of wood together :-D |

| I'm still alive, even if I don't feel like it... |

| Well I have plague(read cold) again and as such have taken the day off work, then I found an email from Pyro pointing out that it'll be a month since my last update. So I'm typing this wrapped in a blanket, sweating and surrounded by soggy tissues just so you get a nice mental image. In the last month I have been working at my new job in Bristol and the commute time is rather long. I'm out of the house by 6:40am and home by 7:45pm and asleep by 10:00pm to be up again at 6:00am. A small side effect of this is that I don't get to work on my projects until the weekend where I have to fit them in around spending time with family. I have managed to get a fair bit of the MapEd program done and sorted out a couple of things I didn't understand about C#, like I can now data-bind arrays of custom classes to windows form controls like TextBoxes and I'm getting better at writing my own custom Controls. Over on the sidebar menu you notice I've changed the "Dodge" and "Bert Higgins:Redux" links to a "Projects" link under here you'll find the old pages and a new one for MapEd. When I stop hacking my lungs up I'll try and do more regular posts. Labels: Asset Manager, Game Dev, Home |
