Our work from the last project was an excellent learning experience and I can't wait to hear if we'll be able to get the final touches on the project to get that game out.
In the meantime, the office is the next focus of Adrenal Studios, it needs some tidying. As well we need to get to work on the next project. Something I'm tentatively calling the Adrenal Studios Midnight Oil Kit. The goal of this current project is to create and open and free tool kit using XNA to help programmers get the boring stuff done quick and easy, so that they can get into making gameplay and possibly levels. The intention, for programmers to use during game jams. But if they want to use it other places, who am I to stop them.
Today is mostly about organizing for the first hour and a half. Getting the office organized to the way I like it. Then getting my user stories together for the game tool kit. Any work accomplished towards the midnight oil engine today, will most likely be in the graphics and level creation end of things.
Come next week, the sky's the limit. Also finding a neat place to put the tool kit. Git Hub is probably a safe bet.
In the meantime let's talk about the title there. One of the tricks in certain industries is to keep working. In the case of game programming, you really want to focus on constantly making things and staying busy. This career is one where you don't actually pound the pavement and knock on doors. You carpet bomb the industry with résumés electronically and hope get called. If you don't get called wash rinse repeat. So with downtime, you really have nothing to do. My goal with Adrenal Studios is to continue to produce while I look for a job in games. If something we create happens to do well, bonus!
That said thanks for reading, tomorrow, and update on the Midnight Oil Kit, and a few pics of the tiny closet office!
Until then: WIRED IN!!!!!!!!
