Things happening…

A fair bit’s happened since I last posted anything on here.

I’ve drawn up a big detailed plan for the future of Among The Storms. Most of it’ll probably never happen, but I will throw out at least one post-jam polish update at some point. Hopefully before we get to the end of the month and I start work on game 2 of OneGameAMonth.

After one irc conversation of encouragement, I’ve been nerdsniped back into working on Static Friction again. The game now works mostly fine on the latest version of the Spring engine (just a handful of things to sort out). The Lost now have a bunch more models and a new overarching plan that I actually like (unlike the last three plans). Someone, remind me in the next few days to throw a release out.

And I now have a midi keyboard, a decent sound card, and a large mound of virtual instruments! I’m a fairly musical person, and I’ve been meaning to have a go at soundtrack composition for a long time, but it’s only recently that I’ve been able to afford most of the kit. I’m now reading through Principles Of Orchestration by Nikolai Rimsky-Korzakov on the train to and from work. We’ll see what happens.

Oh, and month two of One Game A Month is almost upon us. I’ve got an idea, but it’s complex enough for another blog post, I reckon. And I need to get round to installing Fedora 18 now it’s come out. Busy busy busy…
