<!-- Well, a few weeks after the last blog and things have changed. I used to help 2 mods:

• Portal Combat
• InDevelopment

But I have decided to stop helping Portal Combat, for numerous reasons and because InDevelopment will have a greater chance of getting released (and thus not waste my time so much). If school wasn't so time consuming I could have helped both still, probably.

Speaking of school, I created an agenda this week and tried following it. Epic failure, it'll take me some time to follow a strict agenda. Maybe I've put too much in it:

Maybe I should plan more 'free time' and only plan my actual 'school time'... Next week!

I've created a new website, the previous one was actually a project for school. I liked it enough to keep it online for a while but now I needed a new and better version.

It's much more modern and it'll keep me happy for a while. Now I've added a 'hire me' button (which was recommended by a teacher last year for sites like this) but I'm not really looking for a real job. But if someone wants to contact me I'm a happy man so that's why it's on there.

On other notes, I've added 3 new tutorials to my Visual Novel engine:
Moddb.com

It's a build up, first you learn about the actual engine how it works internally. Then about the shells. The idea is that if you want to extend the engine or create your own shells or whatever you've got a basic idea on where to start. Then I've documented the scripts engine so you have a better idea on how to control your stories without touching the engine itself.

Finally I want to create a last tutorial that shows me creating the demo story, but I want this to be a video tutorial so I can write some code, refresh the novel and you can see what happens in real time, with audio!

Here's the problem, my computer always had a problem with mic's ... if I plug on in I get constant blue screens... I think somethings wrong with the drivers or something? In any case as long as I can't attach a mic on my pc I can't do a proper video tutorial.

I've got a few other tutorials planned as well, covering the process of creating a version of pong but with a sort of game engine that uses line to line collision detection. Pong is only used to proof that it works and it will be more than just 2 square paddles of course...

As a closure here's some of the stuff I've created lately:

Although I'm helping InDevelopment, I'm still looking for a 'professional' team that needs a hand. Or even better, I'm also looking for a team that wants to help with a 2D game I've got in the planned for a long time now!
