Quick update

So if you've read some posts before you know that I have been working on making games. Originally I was going to be making these games in Javascript but I soon realized why people don't do this, it's just not practical and to be blunt... it sucks. So I decided to think of what kind of game I really want to do first which would be my text based open world game. I also want to make some mini games with gravity effects maybe and some card games or something just so I can build an online mini arcade or something.

After deciding what type of games I want to do and realizing that I want a really wide variety to choose from I decided I'm going to learn Java programming. I did a couple practice runs and have already figured out how to make my text based game. Hopefully I can put it up for download but it's just so hard because I want it to be open world as in...

"walk north"

YOU FIND A HATCHET

"pick up hatchet"

"walk north"

YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A ZOMBIE

"attack zombie with hatchet"

All this is in my head and I can't wait to be able to bring you this game and show you what I can do. I am writing the story with one of my best friends Alberto who is pretty smart and I think will definitely help make this game awesome!

Remember if you guys donate to us it will really make the process go faster. Thanks everyone for checking out the blog, be sure to check out the Youtube Channel and check back here every week for at least one new post and video!

Thinking of the Future

So lately websites haven't really changed too much over the past three or four years. I noticed how quickly it went up while during the 2000's but it hasn't really changed the web layouts, or designs very much. So here is an idea, we need to stop looking at the blank white page seeing something 2d when really it is an empty room that can reach miles deep.

I will be creating a 3d web layout that will hopefully catch on because it is time for some changes to the way we browse the web. Everyone has been focusing on tablets and Applications but not so much the layout of the web itself. It's time for a change.

I will post a video sometime soon of me coding the page and showing the example of how I feel websites could be created in the future.

If you want to see the website and explore it yourself when it is finished click the donate button to help me build a website. Blogger really limits the coding I could place in here so there isn't much I can show you at all. 

This was all just a thought so let me know what you think in the comments. Check out the Youtube Channel (link below), like and subscribe to the channel for more updates and videos

Text Based Games

So lately I have been trying to master Javascript which a lot of people would say is not a hard language to master which is true I've been working on this language for about six months stop and go but the last couple of weeks have been nonstop which is good because I am working on making my first Text Based Game through Javascript and CSS


The game is a zombie game but I don't have a website that I could upload it to. I would like to create a bunch of games eventually and maybe host some from other creators but I really need a website so that I may host it. So go hit those shirts guys click that donate button all the cool kids are doing it! 

Anyway about the game, I have seen some text based games where you choose an option A or B and one will lead you to victory and the other will lead to death, my game on the other hand will be much more complicated because you can die but not just by choosing an option but you actually have a health bar, you have weapons to choose from, bandages to heal yourself when needed, and loads of zombies to fight that have different classes. 
There will be many routes in the story to choose from and they all lead to the epic ending but who you are and how you got there will all depend on the choices you made.
It is a turn based game which means you decide if you are going to heal yourself this turn or attack this turn, you will need a strategy. 


This game is not going to come out for a while but if you guys donate I could make this game even better and have much better features because right now I am limited on what I can do with this game, I can't have a user login, save game, or even post scores at the end. These are all things I would love to add to the game but right now it's just not practical.


I'm open for ideas so let me know what you guys think and maybe post some tips on how I could do certain things for the game.


Remember if you donate or buy a shirt it will really help with the production of this game =]

Windows Surface and what is means to YOU

We have all seen the tablets, if you don't have one chances are you've seen one and whether or not you like it this is where our technology is leading. We have to keep up with technology as Developers, Designers, Photographers, and Artists this really plays a big role in our life styles.

We have seen Adobe come out with some programs usable as apps however with the new uprising of the "Windows Surface" we will all be seeing these apps more commonly used.

Some people ask what is the difference a tablet does everything a computer does but in reality tablets are much more practical in the sense that you can carry it with you wherever you are and still be able to perform tasks, watch videos, play games, and even read books BUT never before have we seen a tablet come with a case that is also a keypad. This is going to make the life of a Developer so much easier considering how hard it is to type on tablets. Building programs, apps, web pages and more will be so much easier now that the keyboard is brought to tablets. Not to mention that it's Windows!


With this being the first tablet to include a keyboard we will also see more image editing apps such as adobe products come up and be very useful on the tablet.

A lot of people are saying that this is what is going to kill the PC but I honestly don't think so. I feel that PC's are more useful and secure when in a set position in the household or business place. It also allows for more use of addons like more memory storage and I don't think I could ever give up my PC Gaming!


I do, however, believe that this will make lives easier for both the ability to carry this around wherever you are or to a meeting, and the ability to write using a keyboard. I know I am very excited about this and as soon as I have enough money to spend on this I will.
