Yup, it's the last day of GDC alright [smile]
So I'm going to make this short, cause I'm not feeling too well after dinner. GDnet had its staff dinner tonight, welcoming along Graham Rhodes as well. We went to P.F. Chang's and ordered up the menu. The food was great, but maybe the variety was a bit …

Well the last day is officially more than half over. Geez it went by so fast!! Anyways just posting a quick update before heading back out. Had a meeting for GI that went really well, and showed GC to Josh at the GarageGames booth and he really liked it. Then I ran into Josh Goldstein from Shizmoo …

That's a tired yawn not a bored yawn, by the way.
But okay so I managed to haul ass out of bed on time today and make it to my 9am session. It was good - not all of it applied to me since I'm not starting up a game company to focus solely on that company (i.e. I have other sources of income) but I d…

Geez I woke up late again, but it was okay because I didn't have to be at the convention center until 10:30 for the Satoru Iwata keynote. Still I had wanted time in the morning to post up the GDCA coverage, and I didn't get to have that time. Well, I did since I still made it to the convention cent…

Well dammit, stupid FireFTP keeps crapping out on me when I try to upload images. It's kinda working now as it uploads the images I'm going to post here but it's poking along at like 4kbps sometimes. Bah! So the bad news to go along with that is that I won't be posting the IGF/GDCA coverage tonight…

Hey people. Just popping on by real quick because I had to sit down, my backpack was getting heavy, my shoulders sore, my legs... kinda tired - but mainly my shoulders getting chafed up. Plus I wanted to write some stuff up so I'm not awake till 4 in the morning. I missed the Booth Crawl but oh wel…

w00t, getting to bed on time again. Yey. Dunno if I'll be able to keep it up after today but here's hopin [smile]. After today the conference attendee count is going to seriously like triple, I kid you not. The hectic part of the conference is only just beginning.
So yea I putzed around a lot today,…

Blah, so today was the first time in my GDC history that I managed to sleep in late. My roomate left his cell phone on vibrate, and although I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I did something with my phone just before going to sleep last nite, it obviously wasn't setting the alarm like I though…

I took out most of the crap, added my Red Storm badge holder, and the result issss
Yes, for the first time in GDC history we have socks. Socks, people! I'm so wearing them tomorrow. Wish I had shorts to wear with them but alas... ok yea so maybe it's for the better but whatever :P So that's the haul…

It never ceases to amaze me. Over 12,000 game developers attend the conference each year and yet it's crazy how many times you'll bump into someone you know throughout the course of the week. I supposed the chances are higher when you're all in such a close proximity, and not all 12,000+ people wil…

I forgot to mention that GDC is moving back to San Fran next year. The convention center was booked solid this year, which is why we're back in San Jose. Personally, I prefer SJ over SF. True, SF offers more to do outside the conference, but seriously - don't we come out for the conference in the f…
March 20, 2006
So it's all set. We're meeting up in the Press Lounge tomorrow at 9am. Tonight we sat down to eat at the Denny's up the street from the hotel and talk over what we want to do for the conference coverage this year. I'm going to be writing up a Preview Report tonight that will go up first thing tomor…

The flight out was nice - tho I was stuck sitting next to a 9-something year-old kid and his mom. Wasn't so bad tho. In fact I had to keep from laughing when I flipped through DirectTV and settled on FX, watching Arnie blast through this hacienda Rambo-style with a BFG and the kid's sitting next to…

Well, here I am, sitting in the terminal waiting for my two slices of pizza to cool down a bit so I can eat em without getting melted cheese all over the place, haha. My flight is scheduled to depart at 8:05, so I have a little time to relax and grab a bite to eat.
I must say flying with Jet Blue is…

Damn I can't beleive I'll be in Cali in just three days time. Isn't it amazing how these things seem to rush up all of the sudden? Two weeks ago it felt like a month away, five days ago it felt like a week away, and now it feels like tomorrow!
So I'm pretty much locked and loaded. My…

Jeez this seemed like such a short day. First off I didn't haul ass out of bed until around 1, although I had meant to get up around 12. Took care of some email and stuff and went to Kinko's around 3 to order up my business cards for Blade Edge. Went to work and coached till 7:30 and then went back…

Well I had a good time in PA. We played original RISK, Clone Wars RISK and LoTR RISK along with Zombies and some Gamecube and shot some bb's and pellets, watched some movies (Porky's!!)... damn straight.
Oh and the commercial shoot. That was cool too. I got there early no problem, and …

Well, adding wall detection for the missile attacks wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. In fact I still haven't finished it. I'm having the missile collide with the edge of the system tile so that I can use the callback function to check for any walls in the way. If there are none then I just …

Last night I spent about 6 hours working on getting the special actions implemented. I was heading into some new territory with TGB (Torque Game Builder, previously known as T2D) code-wise so it was slow going in some spots, but I pushed through. By the end of the nite I had two actions implemente…

Today I woke up at 8am (somehow) and went up to NYC to audition for a stunt job. They were looking for stuntmen to do a commercial for a SpikeTV documentary. The management firm I'm associated with called me up yesterday and set me up with the audition. It went pretty well, I had to…

A few weeks ago I was thinking about other turn-based games and Worms popped into my head. I always loved shooting missiles and watching the enemy worms go flying into the air. The I asked myself, why can't we shoot missiles in GC? That opened my mind up to a whole new side of the gameplay - ranged…

So I got a call tonight from a friend of mine - the friend actually who got me the job at Six Flags in the first place. He calls me up cause he ran into our lead pyro technician and set director Mooch. Mooch was wearing one of the Batman fleeces and my buddy J struck up a conversation with him and …

So I realized that I didn't actually lose the deleted map detection feature since it was implemented in a .gui file and not a .cs file so it wasn't wiped out. sw33tness. That just left the image map exposure, which took all of fifteen minutes. So then I decided to start on the database editor dialo…

Okay so I got special system density re-implemented. It only took me about 45 minutes or so, and I didn't have nearly as much trouble as I did the first time I did it. So that's good. Tomorrow hopefully I'll have time to get the image maps exposed and the missing maps handled. Newslet…

Well I finally logged some more hours today working on GC. I spent a little time on it Thurs too but didn't really accomplish much. I never get any work done on Friday nights (come on, it's Friday night!) and Sat I was skiing all day for the first time this entire season. My Dad got m…

Soooo I got my orange belt presented to me today, I had tested on Sunday. I've been a yellow belt for the past (dare I say it) 5 years, due to the fact that I've missed tests due to scheduling conflicts, taken haituses from the dojo months at a time, and just not being consistent i…

Well, I downloaded Fraps and tooks some captures of Galaxy Conquest in action. I figured it was the best I could do considering I can't release a public demo just yet. It's not the best quality since I needed to keep the filesize down in order to squeeze it onto what space is left on …

Well today I showed off Galaxy COnquest to a highly-receptive audience. Everyone at the chapter meeting agreed that it looked like a really cool game and couldn't wait to play it and see what it's like. So that makes me feel good, having an indication of how the game is coming across to people. I d…
