HItchhiker’s, Part 5: The Question
Well, I finally got to the part about the answer to life, the universe and everything. Ever totally miss some really mainstream thing, like, I dunno, The Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; never saw those; and it’s middle school … Continue reading
Hitchhiker’s, Part 4: Keeping it Real
Looks like there’s a plot kicking in, though still in a jaunty, episodic sort of way. Arthur and Ford have met up with Zaphod, and they’re exploring a strange, enigmatic planet which I assume will harbor the climax of the … Continue reading
Saving the Day
This is going to be a sort of grand finale type cue to go along with a scene near the end of Tinselfly. My computer’s hard drive died last week, and life has been one giant install party lately. Everything … Continue reading

Best Behavior
So I mentioned a post or two ago how joining this developers group was kind of out of character for me. And I wanted to dig into that a little bit more. However, rather than just rehash my unease with … Continue reading
Reinventing Wheels
I really dislike most color pickers in games. You’re usually presented with a dizzying grid of color swatches, or some sliders that aren’t the most intuitive things to use, even for someone who spends a lot of time in graphics … Continue reading
Make a Difference
I have high hopes for the game developer’s group I’ve joined. Not just in terms of getting along with the group; sure, I was worried about that, but I’m talking about, like, the group being this positive force or something. … Continue reading
