Home-ful again!

Hey... What can I say, its nice to have a home again!

I really should have taken some pictures in order to flesh out this blog a bit :)

Anyway, I don't know if you all saw it recently, but there were a group of us (including quite a british indie slant weirdly) who took part in a group blog thingy.

Essentially we kind of ripped off the "So you want to be a games journalist" blog-thingy from a month or two back and did an indie version.

You can read about it from any of the blogs in the blog-round-table format we did. My blog is here. I really should have gotten some breezy images in there showing how sales might look with different scenarios. Sadly my excel skills were lacking.

So what am I up to apart from blogging? Well my research year got off to a pretty slow start, in that I have been doing contract work for the last few weeks. But with the news of the NVIDIA 8800 release and impending DX10 things coming along. Well, it opens up some new areas for my research. Read my profile on the great games experiment site for more (I'll post it to my blog sometime soon).

Air Ace took a bit of a beating time-wise this last month or two, being homeless definitely puts a crimp on game dev fun! although we have some great new stuff in place to show off when I finally get back online next week.

If you followed the first link in this post, you'll see that there is a new site going up.. It obviously isnt even started yet. But I thought I'd link it already. I'm starting a site for "british indies". Basically its a means to an end. You'll be able to read what its like to be an indie specifically a british one. The purpose is to actually give people a flavour of what real life indie-life can be like in britain. We are distinct in many respects because we live in a very expensive place where there is almost NO support for indies. Hopefully one part of the site's purpose is to change that a little by lobbying regional development agencies to help indie developers get thier start. More on that soon.

Also just started, is the University of Bolton's games society. This is basically a student led site that will be going up next week sometime. I'll post the url when we get it live.

There's an absolutely ton of stuff going around now.. so I'll sign off and get on with it. Updates to follow next week!
