The Return

It's been a while since I've posted here. Why is that? I just honestly haven't made it a habit to write here and I've just gotten caught up in life in general.

To start off I'm now officially working in the video game industry (for more than a year now). I started off at a company by the name of Phosphor Games as a QA tester working there on two different contracts for 9 months with a 2 month break between those contracts. At Phosphor I started off testing a game called WARP for Android and iOS that was unfortunately cancelled prematurely ending my contract with Phosphor. I returned 2 months later to work on a couple games one that was recently released, Gemini: Heroes Reborn for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, as well as Heroes Reborn: Enigma for Android and iOS that was released last fall. I also did a little bit of testing when needed for the game Corpse of Discovery, released last August for PC.

Ludum Dare #28

I've been a little busy lately, so there hasn't been any progress with Heart Realm.

This weekend I participated in the Ludum Dare competition for the first time; Ludum Dare #28. I went in by preparing the days prior working on little warm-up projects using the various software that I planned on using for the competition.

For this project I used Unity3d writing the code in C#, using Paint.net for graphics, Audacity and Fruity Loops for audio.

This current competition had the theme "You Only Get One" so I decided to make a little game where you're driving a delivery truck, think Postal/UPS/FedEx type truck with the goal of delivering a heart for a transplant to a nearby hospital in a crowded city. You are given one minute (this is where the theme comes in) to reach said goal, but you have to avoid pedestrians and other vehicles on the road that get in your way. There isn't any difference in what happens at the end of that timer or upon reaching the goal except for a single Game Over message, questioning your decisions if you ran over some pedestrians and whatnot.

You can check out my submission HERE.
