Not so much of a "return" as it's been in development. Things had slowed down during the whole family-building process but have been in full swing for the past few months (as in spare-time full swing).

Tech arena allows players to build vehicles (and pretty much anything they want to) from componen…

Behold! The life-death-cycle pattern that nearly all startup companies have been following for nearly 20 years:

Great news! After two months of job hunting, I managed to find something with good pay and a flexible schedule. I set out to find a job that would not get in the way of the development of Tech Arena and my other personal projects. TA has been on the table now for over 10 years because my work sc…

The new terrain generator is still being integrated with the game's resource management system. I was planning on having it ready this week but it's only stable on small scale maps and the generated textures haven't been incorporated into it. This means no screen shots. =( However, it is coming …

This is the GUI I've been working on for Tech. Everything is based off of a single Class, CGUIObject. Which commands all the basic behavior of the GUI. It's platform independent and Graphics API dependent. I've extended it to other basic GUI objects, such as window, checkbox, number field, text…

I've been spending entirely too much time lately doing home-improvie type things... and partying. I said to myself, "Self, you should really take a break until the weekend so you can get some programming done." And Self said, "Uhhh, I like gravy." So, it's settled. I'm lighting the candles, war…
