Okay.

I finally figured out what to do with the site. Make games!

I’ve been mulling it over for a few weeks, and because I have an interest in playing games, making games, puzzles of all kinds and even personal development, I figured I would try making a combined blog. Recent reading however has convinced me that I’m better off splitting my interests into different blogs if I plan to go full time. As for this blog/website, it will be as I always planned it, a project planning and programming page for all the different projects I have done over the years and have always planned to get back into.

What this means for people reading(when there are some). This site will be dedicated to discussing various game ideas that myself and other people have had. Making up prototypes and mock ups of such ideas, and generally just throwing together any games I can. As I’ve made many prototype games in the past, I’m going to continue making them, and develop those ones furthur. I know a few people that would like to see some of my more fun games completed.

First up, I’m finishing the design on Wizards, codename only for now, which might be come Runemage or similar. I’m happy with the prototype as far as basic gameplay goes, now it’s just rewriting in a better language, and adding lots more content. I hope it will turn out as good as I imagine and, of course, I will make announcements about it as I complete it more and more. To check it out go to Wizards to see more information about the game.

Until next time, play hard and play fun.

Oh, and while I remember. The site looks like a dog, and I will be changing it drastically in the future. Don’t expect it to be the same each time you come back. I will be adding a heap more content and styling every week. I think it’s going to be fun, applying styling to a site that will actually stay around. I suggest anyone out there to try it, even if it’s just to learn something.

It’s not like you can fail at it.

I just uploaded some old projects in the interim while I get the rest of the site up. These are prototype demos or games I was working on. Run at own risk, and all that.

For those that already know what they are: enjoy.

Fireworks Factory:fireworks factory
Wizards:wizards

There is a very good chance that I will work on wizards in the coming weeks, converting it to the .net platform and eventually releasing a better version. It’s what I plan to do.

I’ll post if there are any updates of course.

Parthon Software, after so many years, finally gets its butt off the ground. I plan to use this for talking about how my various development projects are going along with thoughts on game design, particularly around the lack of originality in the industry.

There will, of course, be more here as time goes on, but for now just enjoy the sight of an untarnished website.
