Updates:
Portable Spawners.

So it's been over a year since I've updated anything on this page. And really the only reason I'm updating it at all is because I just submitted a mutator to the new "Make Something Unreal" contest, and feel I need to post a link to it. I can't make any promises about updating the site more frequintly, but I'll try.
Updated Valkyrie Doc.
05/31/2007 7:30PM PST
Ok so I updated the Valkyrie project design document in order to reflect some feedback I got from a friend. I added a game flow section at the bottom to hopefully provide a little more insight into what the game is like. I still don't have anything about what the artistic side of the game will look like, or any screenshots reflecting the work I've already done on it. However, since I don't have any original art assets in the game, and since the game will ultimately be in UT3, I probably won't add any screen shots. In any event let me know what you think of it. This may be the last you hear about Valkyrie for a bit, since the launch of UT3 is so far off (2008, 09?), and since I've recently been inspired by playing X-Com I may pick back up an idea for an epic flash game that has been rolling around in the empty space between my ears. I haven't decided for sure, but it would certainly give me a chance to work on some art more than just code, which would be a good thing. In any event, I'm going to have to start a new Archive if this page gets much longer.
I've discovered something...
05/31/2007 7:30PM PST
Occasionally in our lives, we are apt to make certain discoveries about ourselves that will disturb us to our very core. Today I have made one of those discoveries. While getting out of the shower a few minutes ago, I discovered that I have hair on my feet. And while it is not a great amount, it may just harkens something much more sinister. I believe at this time that my best course of action is to maintain a vigilant watch for a shortening of my stature, a desire to take long walks, or any other signs that I may in fact be turning into a hobbit. Pray for me, but more importantly, pray for my feet.
New Code Chunk
05/28/2007 10:00AM PST
I just finished commenting my first code chunk. It's a clock I wrote in actionscript for a WoW Guild Simulator I was working on. Not the most impressive piece of code, but I still like it quite a bit. If your interested you can see it here. As always, if you have any questions or comments about it you know how to reach me.
New Design Doc
05/27/2007 7:00PM PST
Hey so I finally finished a quick design document for the UT Mod I'm working on. You can read it here if you interested. It's just a quick overview of the game, nothing special, nothing specific. I'm just trying to give people some vague idea of what the game is going to be like. If you have any thoughts and/or reccomendations regarding it, please write me at comments@franich.com. I really do plan on updating the site more than once a month. It just doesn't happen all that often...
Added Something
05/02/2007 9:00PM PST
So I put up a couple of map templates from the Unreal Tournament mod I'm working, still haven't posted the design document for the damn thing. I don't know if any of screen shots will really give you a good idea of what it would be like to look at those color sets for a longer duration of time, but getting people's oppinions on them will at the very least give me a good place to start as I'm creating the HUD for my mod, and more advanced levels. Anyways, if you want to let me know which one you liked and why, drop me a line at comments@franich.com.
Movin' on Up

Hey I updated the site again and it didn't take me 3 months. Making progress folks, making progress. Anyways I got a sort of promotion today at work. That is to say I have more responsibility, but I'm getting paid the same as everyone else. I've been told it's a good thing, and in the long run I'm sure it will be, but for the time being it just means I have a much greater ability to get myself in trouble.

I have got to get better about updating this site. Over the last couple months (excluding February in which work consumed the entirety of my life) I've been working on a Mod for Unreal Tournament 2004. Well that's not exactly true. It's going to be for UT3 whenever it comes out, but I'm laying the groundwork for it in UT2004 because that's what I have at hand. I'll try to get a design doc with some development screenshots up before too long. Ohh and I updated the banner above, it should display a random picture of my sexiness every time the page loads now...Hmm. I should really finish some of my design docs or toss up some code chunks or something, the website is looking pretty bare.

I have been working on a new flash game, but I’ve gotten stuck on a trig problem that I now realize was something I learned back in high school. In any event, the epiphany regarding this particular problem came to me while I was sitting on the most holy of holy thrones in a man's house. Which ended up sidetracking for a short while I tried to figure out why men figure out such things in the restroom. Perhaps it has something to do with the sterility of the environment, or the biological functions taking place? Or perhaps it is simply as close as most people get to some form of meditation? I ended up decided that continued thought on the subject was probably not the best use of my time and that I should get back to work. The reason I write this down at all is so that at some future date I can continue my inflection on what must be by this time, an age-old question. Anyways, I hope to have this other flash game done some time in the next 2 weeks.

Hey I actually finished something. That's always an improvement. Of course it was just a silly little remake of a type of flash game that's been around for quite a while, but I suppose something is better then nothing. You can see it at http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/359104

Completly changed the color sceme and graphics on the website. My pretty pretty face now adorns the side. I don't really like the picture though, it makes me look so serious. But, it will do for now.

Just laying out the tacking for the website. Making sure the graphics I made look ok. I'll try to start updating the Code Chunks and Design Docs section more when I get time. Hope to have my first game completely done by the end of the year. |
