Status update
Published September 22, 2006
Ok, so, some of you may be interested to hear that I'm in the industry now. Developing games, that is. The 'real' stuff, too: not mobile phone downloads or Flash downloads, but PS2 and PSP games. I even have the 2 devkits on my desk to prove it. I have docs for cool middleware like Renderware, Havok, and SpeedTree, and they make for interesting reading.
It's kind of weird finally being here after years of thinking it would never be possible, then a year or two of knowing it was possible and not being interested, and finally ending up 'here' anyway.
I can't say what I'm working on, for the usual contractual reasons. But it certainly beats finance software, I'll say that much.
(PS. Sony's documentation is Not Very Good.)
And while I've never had a chance to look at a PlayStation dev kit, I remember Sony's documentation for their AIBO robot dogs when I was involved with Robocup back in 2000. Sounds like things haven't improved [grin].
