It's taking me a while to get back into my working routine, and what with all this admin and various start of the year tasks I have to complete, it might take me until February before I get there, unfortunately.

I'm a bit stuck on planning my next game project. Given that my last completed project w…

The twelve days of Christmas are over, so it's time to retire the holiday themed fish avatar.

I've finally got the main suite of software that I use installed on my new computer, so I should be reasonably ready to start using it again for Monday. There's still probably heaps of stuff I'll install wh…

While there's not many computer places open this first week of January, the uni computer store managed to build a cheap but reasonably good system for me in a single day, so I've got a computer again. While it's not the most powerful system around, and it had to be AGP based to support my old video…

I haven't really been thinking that clearly today; obviously being jolted from the holidays into emergency computer replacement wasn't the best way to ease into the new year. However I have been thinking a bit more about the types of games I need to aim for. Obviously I'll need to make some comprom…

I've delivered my broken computer to the shop today, and I've got a relatively inexpensive Athlon 64 being built for me using the transferrable parts from the old one. Hopefully this means I'll be back up and running with a computer twice as good as the old one by the weekend.

Since I was dealing wi…

Welcome everyone to 2006! I'm back from my holiday today so the journal can start up once more.

It has always been my intention that 2006 would be the year that I start thinking seriously about indie game development, and now that's it's here I still believe that it is best that I aim to sell a game…

Today's the last day before I head back to visit family for a couple of weeks. Consequently I probably won't have much to put in this journal for a while (I might still visit the forums occasionally though). Since I haven't got much planned for the break I'll still probably spend some time doing so…

It seems my journal has gone all Christmassy by default! I'm not sure whether I agree on all the snow in the background; the likelihood of it snowing at an Aussie Christmas is pretty small [grin]. Here's hoping for a nice sunny Christmas day.

Since it's the last week before Christmas, and given that…

Creative arts week turned out to be a bit of a wash-out. I'd decided that this week I'd spend my game dev time working through some drawing exercises from How to Draw Anime and Game Characters (vol. 1). However, it seems I've been plagued once again with insomnia this week, so after spending a mere…

Yet another overly long journal entry from me, as I just type whatever I'm thinking into the computer. I guess that's what these journals are for, right?

I seem to be suffering from both coders and designers block. I can't seem to get any of my code working (even for my research), and I also can't t…
