Your feeling sleepy, very sleepy.

Hello again,
Well that’s another month over with and it’s starting to get really cold now. It must be getting nearer to Christmas.
We I’ve finally got everything settled down again after the last couple of weeks of madness and it’s been nice to get back to doing something creative again, shame there’s not been that much spare time. It’s going to be a very short blog this week as I’ve a lot of things I need to do before I go to bed and I’m already half a sleep as I type this so sorry if there’s any spelling mistakes ;)
Oh I’ve finally got my hands on iTorque, so I can start to look into doing some iPhone games as soon as I get some spare time as well. I’ve got a few simple ideas that I want to flesh out and I would like to convert GoGo Digger across to it as well, but all in good time.

Weekending 3/10/08
Shuffle Blocks:

I’ve been knocking out a couple of new fonts for Shuffle Blocks and improving the new GoGo model for the game and high resolution renders and I’m hoping to have that finished really soon so I can get on and do some other things.
I’ve also got a couple of things to do for the front menu for Dave (scrolling slides and the like), while Dave is converting the code across to XNA V3 as we are too late for the XNA competition.

Lucky Seven:
Not a lot has been happening on this at the moment, that’s mainly my fault. Isaac is waiting for feed back from me on the current build before progressing (sorry Isaac, I’ll sort that out this weekend for you).
I had a bit of a shock this week, as I though I saw a game with our game play mechanic in it, but it ended out to be a totally different style of game and seemed a lot more complex then our game, so that a good thing for us (I think), as I think a casual game should be able to be played straight away by the player and without been confused (but still hold plenty of secrets / strategize for the player to work out), but it’s also really nice to see how other people can have almost the same idea, but take it in a totally different direction.

Right, that’s it for now from me as I really am sleepy and I’ll show you a couple of renders of the new GoGo model as soon as I have finished it.

Have a good weekend,

Mike
