Plan for Chris Newman (ChazCross)

I just had a long vacation away from my comp. Something that was very much needed.
My motivation is back!!!!!!!!!!!!

I joined a team a while back and started on a project called Mythos: The Demon Hunters. A 3d platform game in TGE.
After dealing with some issues mainly the lack of 3d artist we decided we needed art or a different project, so we started talking with a Detroit based art studio about exchanging services: programming for art. But it seems to have fell through. I was going to design and build whatever software they needed along with a few of my friends who I have worked with on a few other contract jobs.

Well in short, Mythos is now on the back burner.

But now for the great news!! We have started work on a 2D RPG / Stragety / Tatics type game using T2D. I now have the time and energy to finish my updates on the T2D Image Datablock Tool and begin work on the T2D Animation Editor.

I even have a super secret 2D project i just started working on again. One just for practice and to better learn T2D. This one will never see the light of light of day and will only be shown to the outside world as pics. I present to you the beggining of...
Doom T2D

This lil guy is fully animated. He walks and runs every which way and can fire his pistol, chaingun, plasma gun and Rocket Launcher. I will develop an original 2D shooter off of what i have learned from this when its finished.



Now for the best news of all: I bought another car. An 88 Shelby Z. This baby can run the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds and its a 4 banger!!!!!! Ive been spending alot of time working on this and making it better. Im going to be off to the track at the end of the month to see how much i have improved.

It sounds like you've got your hands full with those games and that car. :)

Keep us updated on the Doom thing!

The best of luck!
