I made a change to the portfolio today.

I lost a lot of files in my last laptop HD failure and didn’t have any website stuff backed up. I’ve had to decompile some flash files and fiddle about. Not a process I’d recommend or like to repeat! There are a few more recent bits and I’ve removed some of the old. It feels good to feel the flow of the projects I have worked on. I hope to work on many more in future.

I’m still doing primarily ActionScript these days, have been for a long while now. I do want to try my hand at some other languages and I have a ton of ideas but I am finding myself too short of time for any hobby projects at this moment in time.

I also want to totally change the site, having this site more of a funky games site than a portfolio. I hope to get that started soon.

Haven’t updated here in forever. I’ve been very busy!

I’ve been working now for a great company in Soho called Mediatonic. Been here over six months and it’s been an amazing experience. I do AS3 coding and AS2 here and there and some occassional graphics tweaks.

Here’s a photo to summarise the past few months

Hopefully I can come back and fix this

There’s a version where you can input your twitter username and password and your friends will appear. I also produced a version using the search API instead, I used SWX here

Version 1 - Using Username/Password
Version 2 - Using Search terms

I’ve been working on an interesting game and thinking about it, I would rather polish it up and release it as a viral game. So I’ve put back the challenge but will get back to rapid prototyping very soon

#3 - Tetris

Very messed up and not really playable! I think it takes more than a day to attempt a tetris clone!

#2 - Magic 8 Ball

Ask away. Any yes/no questions.

Props to Seb for the particles tutorial. The bubble stream is based on that particle class. Many snow particles falling on my head today.

Hopefully, I will be posting one game a day. The first offering is a basic sudoku game.

Many thanks to Paul Hayes who wrote the number generating algorithm

To get me back into gamedev I will dedicate a day (or so) to creating games rapidly.

I aimed for a game a day, but this didn’t quite happen.

About time I upload a game given this is my games blog.

I created it to play fullscreen on my laptop, but I have diabled fullscreen so you can play it within the browser.

Whilst playing guitar hero, the drums broke so I started creating this. There’s no sound though and the notes as yet are totally random…as yet…
Have fun!

Recently my travels have led me to a rather fantastic place called the Werks. People come and go with their laptops for the “cowerking” which is what I have been participating in. Open critiquing is encouraged and people come together to share their experience and knowledge. If you are working on a project that requires specialist talent, there are usually people available who can either lend their services or at least point you in the right direction. Freelancers can find it a struggle to expand their horizons and this organization really helps.

The Werks are also a hub for events in the Brighton area. There are quite a few more networking and coworking groups setting up. I hope the trend continues nationwide.
