MeteorX

Ive got a new XNA game in the works! Its a planet defence game, in the year 30XX, where you defend planet X from meteors and other space like things in via "Weapon X". Notice a trend? My cousin josh has made some badass music for it already, and ive been writting out the requirements and some concept art. This will be the official spot for the game and updates as time passes. So...audience...stay tuned for screen shots and such!

Sup everyone! Its been a min, but ive been busy working on a text adventure game. The engine itself was build using the 3d buzz tutorials. I am now taking it a step further and revamping the engine. It is going to be a zombie like text adventure, with an atmospheric feel like silent hill. Right now i am working on a Random Battle algorithm so that you can fight enemies. So far ive got the screen to switch to a battle screen every (RandomNumber) steps. If i can pull this off, this will be sweeeet.

Just wanted to make a post to show off my Sephiroth tattoo. RPG's are hands down my most favorite genre of gaming. I just love how you can get lost on these worlds, and assume the role of someone else. The stories in RPG's are always emmersive. Well i love tattoos, when they are done right, so im going for a gaming theme. Sephiroth imo is a hands down badass, and one of the most momorable, and legendary game/villain characters in gaming. Enjoy!

Hey there

WHats going on, its been a long time :P Well ive been busy with school work and such, and recently got back from a vacation. I am making plans to make an online portfolio to serve as a place i can put all my work for peopleto see and download. Lately though, aside from whatever crap the school has me doing, ive been focusing alot on XNA. Right now im going through the video tutorials from the guys at 3D buzz http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_home.php. Hands down these are the best tutorials for XNA, and for anyone who wants to learn programming.

Right now i am enroled in GSP-420, which is supposed to be a game engine prgramming class. However, AGAIN, the school changed the format at the last min, and it turned into another Torque Game Engine class. Oh i hate torque, and im really disapointed we wont be making our own game engine, and instead we are editing torques SDK. I mean, this is all good practice, but i dont really care about torque. Oh well.

First weeks assignments were easy, i just had to set up TGE in Visual studio.

Well ill keep you all updated on my new website comming up. Hopefully i will get it up tonight!
