This is a test...for a top secret project...but this happens to be the only way I can view it on this computer...more coming soon on this matter...

Update: This was a test that I did for a game idea that I had. This is actually turning out to be a very very complicated concept. I have been struggling with this for YEARS now. I have this ideal game idea in my head, and every time I write it out it seems to get harder.

The hardest thing about this idea is the way that this blob of goop is supposed to move around. I am almost going to have to draw every single frame for every single possible scenario for this blob. I know that is super vague.. just imaging that he can move in about 16 different directions, and every direction has a set of actions. Most characters in games really only move in 2 directions. Forward, or Up. Then they have transition actions to fill in those gaps, like turning, or walking backward. This guy is just too complicated for now.

So, I have been working on other game ideas, and trying to teach myself some code to get a game out there on the app store.. we will see how that goes. And there is another thing that I can write about on this blog thing :)
