Since I think coding practice should be a higher priority in my life, I’ve scheduled two days out of the week to program. Monday and Tuesday evenings after work, I will spend at least two hours programming. Four hours of the week can easily be accounted for there, and I could always do […]
Today was the Chicago Indie Gamer Club meeting for April. I was not able to accomplish my goals for this month before the meeting.
As bad as I may feel for failing, I’m really glad this meeting exists. In the past, I’ve had spurts of game development between periods when I didn’t do anything. […]
It’s April 19th. The Chicago Indie Game Developer meeting is in less than six days. My goals for this month were to continue programming for 5 hours per week and to complete a simple game. While the month isn’t over yet, I haven’t accomplished these goals at all.
Last month was […]

Four members of the list were on the panel at the seminar, including this past year’s David Marco and Mike Domek, as well […]
I already knew that I had reinvented the wheel when it came to writing my automated backup solution. I spent some time researching this topic, and I found a number of resources.

At the end of last month, I mentioned that I had bought a new hard drive for the purposes of backing up my data. I just now installed it in my second computer. Was getting the backup system in place important? Yes, absolutely! I don’t think that a hard drive might fail. […]
Awhile back I had sent a letter to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. I received a generic form letter that didn’t address any of my concerns. I sent a second email to Safe Games Illinois asking someone to answer my questions. I figured I would receive a response from someone other than the […]
This past weekend I went to a LAN party at my friend’s dorm. For those of you new to the term, you basically take your PC to this party and everyone connects to a Local Area Network (hence the LAN part) to play games for hours on end. This party was in the […]
I’m going to be making the greatest MMO game ever! It will be cross-genre, so people who like first-person shooters, real-time strategy games, and role-playing games will all enjoy it.
It will have an amazing story that spans many arcs, but it won’t be linear at all. The entire world will […]
