Chronicles Of Zenorth
Well, since I just got my computer June 13, (Yesterday night) I havent had much time to work on it. I got the hang of TGE in just a few hours, and got started perfectly. So far Ive got done an Island level, with a lighthouse, a volcano, a working fireplace, docks, a house, and 2 ponds. This doesnt sound like much, I know, but for a 13 year old who has only had about 6 hours of time to do it, I'd call it good.

Those are some images from it, I made the map, all the effects, but no shapes. Heres a movie.

Well, thats where I stand now. You can count on future blog posts.

Hey, Ive just started work on my Chronicles Of Zenorth project. Ive been working on the outline for weeks, and I finnally bought TGE, so Im ready to start working. Some problems ive run into are my peice of crap video card. It doesnt run DirectX 8 or 9, so before I work any further, Im going to have to buy a new computer too. I'd take some screen shots of what I have, but I can only run dedicated for now. I should get a new computer within this month. Until then, await the work of CoZ
