Computers & Websites & Card Games, oh my!

So its been a pretty intense past couple of weeks for me, but I am ready for the big trip to San Francisco for the GDC on Friday! I really can't wait to see everyone again and catch up with the (CA)family. I'll be staying at Hostelling International for the extent of my trip and already have a few days/nights of exciting stuff planned. Mostly though, I am looking forward to seeing Tim & Ian receive the ambassador award. These two have done so much for our industry. If it wasn't for them and the CA program, I don't know where I would be.

I got a paper prototype of "Greening" (working title) done, and while its not exactly as I imagined the game would be, the core mechanics seem to work. Now its a matter of adding content and balancing it so that I can move forward to the electronic version, which I will be doing in Unity3D. If anyone has any ProTips for unity that they think will be useful, I'd love to hear them. I'm still pretty green with it, but luckily its not very hard to learn and so versatile.

I've got PeopleGames.us up with my old portfolio on display. Some of the links are broken and there are some typos, but its better than nothing. The new site I'm working on has thrown me a few curve balls which I'm trying to work out, but should be up in a rough form very soon. I had hoped to be done with it a couple weeks ago but getting my new computer has been a pain. I finally got it running last week only to have it shut down on me and refuse to start again. So now I have to deal with that, but when I have way too little time to focus on anything besides getting ready for GDC. Looks like it'll have to be a couple sleepless nights now to save me from sleepless weeks post-GDC. Wish me luck!

  2. Congrats on the domain! Hope GDC kicks ass. Maybe I'll get to check it out one of these days. Good luck on the trip, website, game, etc.

    PS
    I'm going to be releasing an issue of my zine next month and I was wondering if you had any old artwork, doodles, rants, essays, writing, prose, photography, or anything else that you might want to submit for publication? Thanks!
