Pre-alpha screenshot of unknown game

Screenshot #1.
The trees are the main feature in this early stage, the sprites are randomised in an attempt to look convincing. Most of the other sprites and tiles are placeholders until I find something better.

Still no ideas for a name or story elements but I will think of something as soon as the engine is more developed.

I see the blog has been neglected of late. I have been doing something... not very much but I have started a game project and I may release pre-alpha screenshots and video captures soon.

This will be a revival of a game I started years ago with gamemaker, only now I have more of a clue about how to use it and I can get past the planning stage of development

New LoL video up

Uploaded another LoL video the other day. It is a better edit than the last one and has music with it.

LoL vid + more coming soon

Made a new vid about LoL... so yeah watch that.

I recently bought the game "Sacred 2: fallen angel" and I've been playing it for a few days. I really like it and am gearing up to make a video of it. I'm not sure whether to go ahead now or wait until I have more broadband to download the patches, which will fix quite a few bugs. Anyway, based on my experience with this game I'm planning to instabuy Sacred 3 when it comes out.

I may just wait a few days, possibly make another LoL vid in the meantime. Stay tuned.

Edit: forgot to mention I got a Steelseries Qck mass mousepad and it's friggin awesome.

New video and updates

Alright, got a couple of updates. First off, I have some new hardware. Got an LG 24" IPS full HD display, and a Roccat Isku FX backlit keyboard. This should hopefully make me more productive.

As a demonstration of my new found productiveness thanks to this hardware, I have released a new video, Hunted - The Demon's Forge gameplay, and as a bonus I also uploaded an old video I made months ago but never released, LOTR Conquest gameplay. More videos coming whenever I get around to making them, as always.

Updates and Plans

OK, here's the thing. Finally got SLI 550ti setup working (had to buy a new PSU and SLI bridge). Runs well, gets smooth FPS in all my recent games. Couple of interesting things happened. One is that my keyboard is now very dodgy because I suspected a broken cable so I dismantled it and stripped out the suspicious part, only I lost 2 of the screws that hold it together in the critical place where the ribbon cable joins so it now often doesn't make the connection, resulting in a few keys not working at times. the second thing is that one of my RAM sticks failed. I should send it away for a replacement, but I don't think it's worth it, I'll just get something else. Anyway it isn't critical in that my computer still works.

With that garbage out of the way, on with the video updates. Got some things planned but still don't know if I want to continue with the current style or start doing commentary based stuff (got a new headset). I have a feeling that right now I like the current style but need to make other things that are more interesting, like science and tech news. I know there are many people already doing this but I would only include the things that I find interesting and just try to bring news from many sources together and condense it into one perhaps fortnightly video. I'm just putting ideas out there at this point but I think it would be a fun challenge.

I recently discovered a website called the skeptic's guide to the universe, and I can really relate to their way of thinking. The podcast archive is really interesting with a new podcast every week where basically a group of sceptics talk about current events and other things.

I found out that game publisher THQ is going bankrupt or something, but they sold metro: last light and it's still going to be released, possibly in March.

So yeah, stay cool and I'll keep my ear to the ground and see what I can dig up in the way of exciting things to make videos about.

I should be doing more soon... getting SLI set up

Getting sli gtx 550ti soon, it will give me more motivation to do better game vids. Also got a 2tb hard drive now which helps heaps.
