Selection of little pics from the holiday. Gotta say some of these look stunning in full resolution!

A long time ago I started work on Titan Exodus after I worked out the theory of how to make a side scrolling shooter in TGF. I didn’t stop after Exodus 1… Here’s some more SHMUP action!

The original Titan Exodus was to be my last game as I slipped into handheld game development. So much for that!

For the first “final major project” at college I decided to make Titan Genesis. It’s supposed to be the prequel to Titan Exodus. This wasn’t finished and I think it’s a little bit buggy. Titan Omega encompasses both TG and TE as both originals were so buggy.

Then came Biax/Ryan/Ucake. He wanted to make a sequel to Titan Exodus 1, so he made something amazing. The game still isn’t completed though.

God I missed England. We have it so right, or maybe I just love performing tasks whilst trying to keep warm. I think I do.
So to anyone who I work for, for any lecturers on my course and to all my mates – I’m back. But I’m ill so I’m not going anywhere for a few days!

Currently I’m processing all my photos in Aperture, took some pretty snazzy pics! Have them up soon. Suppose the highlight of the holiday was go-karting at some really professional track.
For the Sam 2 crowd, and my lecturers again (it is my project after all!) you can rest assured that I’ve sorted the theory of the coding out. I won’t actually be jumping deep into the coding until Jan/Feb where I’ll spend every waking moment bashing away on it. Now to produce more literature for the university side of the project!

I’m off to Spain for 10 days. I’m taking my little PowerBook (with new, non-explosive battery) and I might find a hotspot somewhere and upload some pics. This post will be updated when I find them spots! I’m leaving Piney in charge of the boards for a bit. he seems to be online an awful lot these days! I’m shutting down comments on some of the spam-magnet pages too. Adios!

Here I am. It’s a little cold compared to last year. I’ve just managed to sneak onto a stupidly open, though unstable wireless network. I mean really, there are so many tower blocks around and there is an unsecured open wifi network just floating about. Silly! But great. Can see the ocean from here. Might go swimming later haha. Just heard about the big earthquake in Hawaii (we still get the oversensationalised CNN – our only english speaking channel). Nowt much else has happened! Been alseep for most of yesterday. Adios – AGAIN!

Basically, Sam has become a project for university. It gives me more time to work on it, better crit from actual game developers based at the university and from lecturers and I get forced into making these fun mini creative projects – A visual proposal for Satan Sam 2!
I love being back at university. A previous lecturer said I should have made a graphics book for Satan Sam 1, maybe next year…

Enjoy some pictures.

Just been sorting out my iPhoto collection and these lot are my favourite recent shots.
