Well no updates on orbis today. I have been thinking a lot about game development tho. One thing I have been looking into is using SVN to make a repository on my external SimpleTech 1TB USB2.0 Hard Drive. I would use TortoiseSNV for this obviously. Another thing I have been thinking about as of recently is Unit Testing in games using NUnit or XUnit. I have never done unit testing before but it seems like it can be a lifesaver is some major code refactors and such.

On another note I have 2 more ideas for games however, they are both 3D. I really don't want to say much about them because I am hoping I can get atleast one of them done for XBLCG which is going into effect Q4 of this year. I really hope I can get orbis out of the way to work on one of my real projects I have been putting alot of effor into mentally. For me 2D is just a steping stone to learn game concepts. My ultimate goal is 3D. It kinda sucks because I am not putting much thought into orbis because of this. Instead I have been reading up alot on 3D development to get the concepts in my brain.

On another note I have been playing a lot of diablo 2 lately. It is quite interesting how a game 8 years old tickles my fancy more then crysis does or even oblivion. I have been playing D2 since launch and the element of suprize is totally gone. It is sad when you know what the item is before you UNID it. But on another note the game still has a lot of fun factor to it.

I know I know I can't give up on orbis. I won't give up on orbis. Next journal entry should have quite a bit done.

Remember life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what u'r gunna get.
