Well, it looks like after a week or so of pretty intensive work on the whale-shooter, I'm going to put that on hold for a bit. Don't worry! It will be finished! It's very much my baby, and I will not toss it aside that easily. But, I feel as though I've reached a point where I can take a break for a while and still come back with a good idea of where I left off, and I've got other projects on my plate right now. Some of these projects are for my friend's fledgling game company, and they are not particularly fond of babies:
geakStudios
geakStudios is all about "fail-fast" game design, that is, they release a lot of simple, under-produced core gaming prototypes to the community, and continue development on what sticks. So with any luck, I'll soon be producing bucket-loads of total crap for you to enjoy! Go look at the website and enjoy the alpha releases of "Quicktime Coma" and "RTS Tuttle." I didn't have a hand in either, but when I start developing stuff, maybe I'll give some behind-the-scenes looks at the development process as I have for the whale-shooter, depending on how much geakStudios insider information I'm allowed to reveal.
As far as other personal projects go, my mom has asked me to make a game for her yoga studio's website, so my first idea was "Yoga Yoga Revolution," in which a raga plays in the background and you have to press certain button combinations to perform the correct pose. Also, I've been hoping to collaborate with a couple of my more artistically-inclined Vassar friends, including the curator of this site: Patootchy and Mallow & Koff. She's a computer science major, too! Yay!
That's where we are now. And I'm moving up to New York in about a month! So exciting. Later, folks.
