First blog entry here. Just testing this place out a bit.

Ok, been using GM since February 2002 (most of those years going by the alias 'Wolverine' or even for a few months 'Green Arrow') but never released anything. This is down to a few reasons. One being that I used to get a new idea every week and tire of it by the end of that same week. Two being that I don't have a logical mind and find coding difficult. And three being I'm such a damn perfectionist even when I've achieved something I then redo it, a lot, til I finally think it's as good as I can possibly do it. And then I still don't think it's good enough.

Time's changed. I have one main project I've been working on since Nov 2006 ('Hero - Celestial Force', middle of my banner pic) which is really making a lot of progress. The other two images in the banner are 'Into The Eagles Nest' (remake of an old 8 bit game, I started this back in 2006 too, and rewrote the engine from scratch earlier this year, it's a top down shooter that does not use mouse aiming and never will and has the highest res graphics out of all my current projects), and 'Booze N' Balls' on the right (single screen arcade platformer with a theme chosen because I was just getting sick of cutesy crap in games at the time, and also wanted to do a game that feels British). Both of which are also coming along nicely. All three games are intended to allow 2 players on one machine as I like a bit of social gaming but find no fun in playing online.

Out of the three I'd say while 'Hero - CF' requires the most work, it's also the closest to having a level I could perhaps release as a demo. I'm hoping for this to be in either September or October.

Anyways I think that may be enough text for a first blog entry. Right?
