Updates

I know! I know I neglect this blog more than is fair but I'm just so busy! Anyway, here's some info on The GODS are DEAD?! We finished the game and were very happy with the results, we couldn't have been more proud. The game made it into Game Fest for the competition and while we didn't place in the top five, I feel like we did very well. You can find out more about the game or download and try it for yourself here: The GODS are DEAD?!

Other than that I've been keeping busy by playing games, working, and doing some DC sight seeing with my wonderful girlfriend. Next semester will be more fun and games (literally, there will be more games) and I will start writing my thesis about sexism and the portrayal of women in video games. I thought this would be an interesting topic, and it is something I feel strongly about. BUT, there will be more about that next year and as long as it's allowed by RPI ( I don't see why it wouldn't be) I'll port the entire thing right here for your reading pleasure. Until school starts though I hope to start working on some Skyrim mods, maybe some that are pretty cool. I have little to no experience with modding games, but I think this would be a good one to start with. Also I don't know what everyone knows about it, but the Source Film Maker looks AMAZING, and when I get a beta invite I would love to make some TF2 films of my own. Otherwise I'll try to update this more, and let you know when I make anything new, until then, play some Dawngaurd, and be excited for Black Ops 2.

It's Been a Long Time

Yes, I haven't updated my blog in a very, very long time. I'm sorry. I have a good excuse though, I've been busy. But I am happy to say all the hard work will be done soon, as the game I have been working on The GODS are DEAD!? is almost complete. We are about two weeks away from competition, and while there is still a lot to finish a lot is already done. The game is a four player networked multiplayer game, where 2v2 teams fight using the power of the dead gods of Mount Olympus. Both teams have an Architect, who creates defences and buildings, and a Ranger, who fights in first person using weapons build by the Architect. The game is close to being done and has been a blast to work on, but soon I will be able to show it off here and everyone can give it a try. 

The good news is, drumrollllllllll, our game made it into RPI's annual GameFest! Only five games from RPI are admitted, and ours was one. We are all very excited and are hopeful about our chances. So stay tuned, in just a few short weeks I will post more info about the game, and you will even be able to play it.


And then I can go back to posting stupid CoD videos and being overly critical to new music. Just like I'm supposed to.
