Thank You MDeC

I just did my pitch for Pizza Parlor 2 for the Game Design Competition yesterday by MDeC Malaysia but unfortunately didn't make the cut to win RM50k. Ah well, at least I didn't go home empty handed; I had the opportunity to learn from many great game concepts that were presented (and no doubt do something similar on my own later heheh), meet up with my contacts and industry people, and last but not least meet many new interesting and beautiful people. Heck, I even got treated dinner by one of the winners of the Comic competition. :D

All in all, it was a great experience, easily the biggest local game design centric event I've participated in so far. Kudos to MDeC for organising this event and bringing togather the people in the industry: newcomers, veterans and of course the press. I look forward to the next competition next year.

Can't say I'm not disappointed though... I had great plans for that RM50k. :D I guess now I'll just go back to my original plan and build up my assets one step at a time. :)

Happy Holidays Yall!

A New Beginning

Mighty sorry for the long delay in posting, but LOTS of things seemed to have happened last week. First of all, I was offered a partnership deal with a large conglomerate to head my very own Game Development Studio. Thats like.. BIG. For me at least.

And then my luck took a strange turn. I got very sick right after that. High fever, delirium, the works. Took most of the week to get myself back on my feet again. Good thing that didn't happen during my development cycle for Pizza Parlor :D

Anyways back to the main topic, the partnership deal, I just accepted the offer and the planning process has now began. With their help, I will need to prepare a business proposal and probably present it as well. Busy busy!

As for Pizza Parlor 2 (The Game Proposal for the MDeC Competition), I am actually working on a comprehensive design document for it, based on my experience designing Pizza Parlor 1. Work is progressing slowly but it is really shaping up to be quite a cool game. I hope I am able to develop it within next year somehow.

Ah yes, I also updated the Template for this Blog. Note how the Game Download links are gone. I've made a new Blog to accomodate my Game Projects here.

Season's Greetings.
Don't Drink and Drive!

Savor the Sweet Smell of Freedom

Yesssss.. Everything is done! Tomorrow I just need to bind the proposal and photocopy the concept art and after that submit the whole package to the MDeC HQ at Cyberjaya. I've been skipping almost all my animation classes to finish this proposal and I really do hope I get something out of it someday. Never really expected the proposal to take so long but the market research really took some time to compile and present in written form.

If you haven't tried Pizza Parlor yet, just download it from the link to the right under My Projects. I've received good feedback so far, apart from the minor little things like the difference between garlic and onions, I hope that you will like it.

Woohoo! I'm Free!
