Mission V.S.S.

mileages — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:35:50 +0000

My friend Curtis told me about the game maker program at yoyogames.com and I decided to give it a try. It was love at first click. I’m now developing a game based on one of their tutorials that I have called Mission V.S.S. (Vertical Scrolling Shooter). Its a work in progress and will take quite some time to complete, no doubt. Hopefully this will be released on the iOS and Android platforms as early as January 2013. But we’ll see!

Here’s a screenshot for now.

Don't mind the crap at the bottom, that will go soon enough.

So I haven’t put a ton of work into this game in the last 2 months. During my time off from work I rarely work on projects. However I did put a lot of time in just after posting this, and now have about 6 different enemies to battle. The next phase is creating a boss for the end of the level. Creating the 3D model is proving to be more tricky then I hoped.

I”ve been to Paris twice in the last year and of course I had my Nikon with me…

Commercial Flights

Some photos I’ve taken on various commercial flights. Always nice when I get a clear window, but not always the case and there’s usually some kind of scratches or dents in the glass that can cause a smudge from the zooming, but all in all they’re pretty good for being stuck out of such a tiny window.

I usually try to pick seats on planes that are nowhere near the wings just for the photo opportunities.

Dubai International Hotel

I got a pen while at the Dubai International Hotel, I like it but its not perfect. I decided it would be a simple enough design, and learned some new tricks about skinning reflective material. Glad to get behind the desk, so to speak, and pump out another new design.
