I get my news from WBUR - my local NPR station and it's pretty level headed and factual. Alot of the reporting on Japan has been about the rescue efforts and how the disaster is going to effect Japan's economy - and debunking the OMG radiation freakouts going on. The sensationalist news here is also responsible for the…
I was thinking. Maybe a way to sedate the pirates would be to release a non gimped version for them that might display ads in game. And/or has a note in further level loads, that if they like the game, why not consider buying it and support the developer? Sorta.a PBS/NPR model. After all if they are playing later levels…
I saw several NPCs in Story last night that I said "Why can't I look like that guy/girl!?" The NPCs are 100x more unique than any character you can make for online.

With this, I wanted to take a illustration I had and turn it into a full body portrait presentation, similar to what I found from EA Dice Mirrors' Edge. All these may seem like a de-route, because I reference multiple styles, but now I'm trying to add a…
Finished it yesterday, 10hrs in total, which is not bad for todays games. Homefront is like 3. I enjoyed the game for what it's worth, but when i compare it to the original i'm pretty disappointed with game tbh after being spoiled by Cryteks original games that were designed just for the PC. The game is full of…
Another update, put in the cart and made some terrain changes around it, I'm thinking zone-wise it could be an opportunity for a mini quest-hub where an npc would interact with players maybe giving them a reason to explore a bit and take the path less traveled :) Next up I'm going to do another pass on the mill textures.…
I believe it is a hit-or-miss type of thing. Sometimes cut scenes fits perfectly into a game, and really plays their part in bringing the story to the next level, others would fit better with perhaps something like Half-Life 2 type of storytelling where it lies more in the environment and walking through it rather than…
