All other project are put aside now.
AX is going to be a 2d scrolling shooter with 3d graphics. I'm working with D3D for the first time here. I'm actually liking it. I didn't care for 3D that much last time I worked with it in OpenGL. But I'm guessing that was because it was a school project, a Virtual World thing that I really wasn't that into.
Anyway if you want more details you can check out my site.
Good luck!
