Life. It is .. rather insane at times. Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to have an on-again, off-again approach to my projects, and to my web presence in general. I am pretty sure I am a moderator at a few different communities around the web, some I have not visited in years, some just not recently (ones I REALLY should be staying active in). For this, to those of you who are reading this that know me online, I apologize. Luckily things are slowing down a bit, which gives me a chance to schedule out my time.
It may seem sad, but yes, I am going to schedule out time to visit certain communities on the web each day. Otherwise I won’t visit those communities at all – and not because I don’t want to, but rather, because it just slips my mind or I get too involved in other things.
Recently a good friend of mine reminded me of a project I was (supposed to be) working on. And although I have many graphical resources I have created for it up to this point, I lack the time to put those resources to use in the form of a Game Maker created game. Not to mention I am getting a little rusty in my GM programming, and there are things about GM (even with the new version) that I don’t quite like anymore.
So, I am seriously considering turning one of my larger projects into a web based game, built on either Java or just JQuery and PHP with some advanced graphical stuff thrown in. No Flash, that is worse than trying to create this with Game Maker. Today I am going to sit down and really think out exactly how I could create this game in a browser based environment. I have a big story to tell, and I want people to be part of that story. So I guess we will see how this goes ..
More updates to follow.
