You know, there's something about having an real, genuine trailer (it says official and everything) that legitimizes this whole thing for me. I really am making a video game. This is really happening. I'm one of 3 programmers and 6 artists who've spent the past 4 months working on Clo. We're all students. For all of us, this is the first time we've aimed to make something that could potentially...

So I'm learning how to make video games. I want to do it for a career. Myself along with my good friends tomeh and Zanda (who doesn't have a GB account) worked together to make a game for our end of year project. I present to you: Honey Bear Solid! Now keep in mind we only had 3 weeks to make this and it was our first real team based assignment so its nothing amazing but I am really proud of wh...

Welcome friends! To the first 'real' edition of Developer in Development. Sadly with the exception of yesterday and today I was real lazy this week and spent far more time playing L4D2 and Borderlands with friends than I did coding, but never fear! I still have some stuff to show! So without further ado - The video. What work I did do this week was mainly cleaning up all the code I had for coll...

So I posted my previous blog over at the Gamespot forums because, well, I was interested in showing a bunch of people. Firstly, they censored all the cuss words - something I'd completely forgotten that other sites do, then I realized they had no way for me to embed the youtube video so I had to just have a link to it at the bottom, then within a minute of posting it, it got deleted for "advert...

When I was 13 years old I decided I wanted to make video games. The story's probably not all that unique, I started high school, didn't fit the social norm, had no friends, started playing a lot of video games (mainly Counter Strike) and began to think 'How awesome would it be to like, make this stuff'. Now at the time it was far more a whimsical dream than reality. I spent a few months learnin...

Warning: Big fucking read This morning I received an email from Steam support. An email I've been waiting for days for with baited breath. An email that finally, put an end to this god damn shit storm. But clearly I'm getting ahead of myself. Lets rewind to shortly before Christmas last year. For various reasons, I came into possession of a Razor Callahan endorsed FIVE GRAND! (note: not actuall...

This edition of awesome quotes is a little longer than last time, its a newspaper article I found form 1984 that I think you'll find interesting The Uneasy Revolution Home Computers have little to offer the average household, claims professor. People who feel they are missing out by not owning a home computer can rest easy. They are probably just as well off without one . Dr Graham McMahon, of...

A guy came to school today to talk about snakes. It was a great presentation. At one point he talked about the most venomous snake in the world - the fierce snake . One drop of its venom can kill 10 elephants. He even had one on display. After the talk near the end of the day he was packing up the snakes and the fierce snake - through the bag as he was putting it away - Bit Him. Knowing full we...

Spurred on by Player1 who was in turn, spurred on by DJ , I decided to have my own go at photoshoping some pictures for my blog space. After a few days of trying the result is something I think looks quite good, though I could definitely improve. voalia In other news. Here's mah new Tee Vea. Really happy I was able to get it at the price I did ($1300AUD).

Me: Maya, its a high end piece of software for making 3D images and animations. My Pop: Don't you need special glasses for that. Note: My pop is a university mathematics professor

I love to be healthy I just spent the best part of the afternoon sifting through my bookshelf and a couple of boxes that have been shoved under my bed. The purpose - to make a list. A list of every game I own. The result - Right Here . There may be a few games that I can't remember and couldn't find. I tried to order them from oldest to newest but screwed up right at the end with the last few g...

Episode 1 WATCH Episode 2 WATCH Don't worry I'll try to restrict the amount of DBZ related stuff I post from now on.

I know that jokes been done to death but I just had to say it. Anyway the title of this post along with the prevalent theme of my profile page should make the following statement obvious. I like dragon ball. And seeing as I like dragon ball, why not talk a little about the series. I first watched Dragon Ball Z as just another one of many Saturday morning cartoon shows. It wasn't anywhere near m...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the past few days, The internet has been really bad at my place as of late (like almost dial-up), so I've barely been able to check the site though it should be back to speedy by tomorrow. I haven't been playing many games lately, preferring to instead *try* to browse the site and update stuff. I've managed to make a couple of edits and get a few points (46 to...

Welcome friends, to the new gaming capitol of the world. Here, in my humble corner you shall see, read and hear all my gaming exploits as well as my opinions on gaming news and events. I might edit a couple of pages, get my feet wet in the wiki-pool and possibly start up a podcast. Anyway, for this inaugural post I'll write a quick spiel on myself. I live in Australia, the land down under with...
