It's been a long time...
...we shouldn't have left you... without a dope beat to... oh you get the idea!So there's lots to talk about. Lots of Medulla Corp news. The big one is:
We're relocating to Singapore!
Yup - this week I accepted a position at a games studio in Singapore (not sure if I can announce who yet) as a Lead Designer. Yanti, Tifa, Yuffie and me will be packing things over the next 2 months and selling everything not tide down (although I plan on taking a bunch of things like the new TV - consoles - sofas - bed etc).
I've started selling things on eBay and Amazon. I'm also weeping at the thought of throwing out all my old consoles and computers:
How about that - my damn phone is like a billion times more powerful than all that stuff put together.
You think that's bad!
Yanti's phone is also about a billion times more powerful than all that stuff AND is smaller than the mouse for the Amiga!!
Got to love technology.
I also found this old thing...
Not sure why or how I've got an old Argonaut SNES dev kit - but there it is.
Speaking of technology - I finally bought and XBox360:
Besides being a great cat pillow, I have to say - I'm really impressed. I got Crackdown and Gears of War with it. Crackdown was good but I'll never play it at any length so I sold it and bought Viva Pinata for Yanti.
I should point out that my gamer score is 400. 20 of those point are mine *blush*.
Gears is great and I'll get back to it soon - but I also picked up Dead Rising after trying the demo. AWESOME!! But I just haven't had a chance to play it much yet.
My gamer tag is: moondog90210
I should also publish my Wii code too - but I can't remember it off the top of my head.
What else!
Oh yes - I've been writing a little casual game on my journey to and from work. It's called 'Doki Doki Bloki' and looks something like this:
It's at Beta now so if you want to trial it - send me an email or leave a comment or something. It's basically a version of Picross. I couldn't find a good clone on the PC, and I needed a little project so here it is.
I'm planning on porting it to XNA and maybe flash. It's going to be my framework for learning new languages.
So anyway - more news on S'Pore when I know what I can and can't say. And more news on Doki Doki Bloki if there is any news on that.
I'll leave you with Tifa, rocking it Parappa style ;)
Nic.
