The Last Mile

This will be my first post using Blogger in Beta and so far it seems that it's just like the old blogger... except abit slower heh.

Anyways I'm proud to say that Pizza Parlor is now completed and ready for distribution. Its not much, but its just something I made to enter the 4 Elements 5 Competition over at GameDev.net. I can't seem to upload the setup file anywhere except at the 4E5 Competition forum at GameDev.net (Includes Source) and SaveFile.com (Kinda slow loading).

With the game done, I can now concentrate fully on doing the documentation for the Game Design Competition by MDeC. I just need to get the Game Design Doc, the Tech Sheet, and Business Proposal done and I should be able to submit it all by tommorow. After that I'm just gonna spend the whole month gaming. xD


Back to Work...
Ciaoz.

Expand or Die

Well, I have another 13 days to get my game done and another day to submit my game design proposal. The next 13 days will also be quite busy for me as I also have a game design workshop to go to as well as a IGDA meeting.

The good news though, is that Pizza Parlor is just about done and right now it is entering the Expansion phase, where the game mechanics are ironed out and implemented, and whats left to do is to put content into the game, including UI and Menu stuff. Considering my meager skills in creating graphics, I hope to be done with everything by the 25th.

Did I say the rest of the week is gonna be busy? I just hope I get through this month smooth sailing without any bumps on the road. Then I can spend December playing Nightfall and Neverwinter Nights 2. :D

Till next time...
Adios!

Crunch Time

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates, but I am quite busy finishing up Pizza Parlor. I'm pretty late on schedule due to many unexpected difficulty in the implementation part, but for now I just need to plonk down my images, do the UI, make some levels and finish it up with a main menu.

Part of why I'm slow is because of the influx of games this time around. I have to resist the urge of playing Final Fantasy 12 and NFS Carbon, and soon Neverwinter Nights 2... Note that I did not resist the urge successfully for quite alot of times already...

Anyhow, I also need to prepare the business+design+technical proposal for a Games Pitching competition by 1st December (Yay 1 day after 3E...). After all that I can enjoy my christmas holidays with some good ol gaming goodness.

Wish me luck!
