Well its here again this year. and i have been invited by my dear old friend mr shane hudson (website, twitter) to join him on a project for this years global game jam.
So not many people really know me but i’m usually quite media shy, I’ve only got onto twitter in December last year. I started my blog last year so I’m quite slow to adopt these type of social things anyway as a result this year is my first hackathon / jam.
A little back story of how i met Shane i believe was 13 and he was 10(i think)? i was looking in an IRC Chat for beta testers of a Pokemon game engine I was working on. he joined me on this project and eventually took it over then…… ran it straight into the ground and lost the source code 😀 (you’ll never live this down man) but never the less over the years we have both grown as software developers and i look forward to collaborating on a new project with him.
So what are we doing, well this year we will be working on a bank robbery game we have some very unique ideas regarding game play and opposing views on art style so it will be very interesting to see how this plays out and what we end up with.
If anyone else is doing GGJ2013 then shoot me a comment or a note and let me know what your doing this year 🙂
