Welcome to the Merry Prankster Games Blog. GameDev.net is my latest attempt to run an ongoing blog to chronicle my development efforts.

Introduction: I'm Geoff Dunbar, a long-time computer programmer with occasional indie-game flurries of interest. Merry Prankster Games (http://www.prankster.com) is my one-man indie development effort, specializing in single-player RPGs (at least lately). My most recent game (demo, really), was "To The World Tree" (http://www.prankster.com/ttwt), a mediocre entry in the Independent Games Festival. More recently, I've been working on updates to the TTWT engine, with the intention of making a full game at some point.

My goals for this blog are two-fold. To detail my progress on Merry Prankster Games development projects, for the people interested in the nitty-gritty progress on our games. Second, to discuss interesting aspects of game development that I run into in the course of my projects, for fellow indie developers and other interested parties. I will update the blog at least weekly, on one or other of these topics.

So, welcome again, and I hope you enjoy reading!

Oooh, you managed to get prankster.com! Good one! I've been hunting nice web domains for ages and have never found a nice single word domain.

Welcome to the journals! May I ask what a SENG game is, as described in your journal blurb?

Well, I managed to get prankster.com in 1994, when it was actually possible. Lucky for me!

SENG is my code-name for my (proprietary) RPG engine. Single player, party-based, 2D tile maps but 3D graphics. Heavily influenced by the Infinity Engine.

Thanks,
Geoff
