Update on Youtube channel

Earlier this month, I announced that I would launch a lets play Youtube channel. Unfortunately there has been a change of the plans and I have scrapped the project. There were a few reasons for this; the main ones were that I was not motivated that much and that I did not have the time.

I did play and record a few games, such as Isra's Wings. I also did learn a lot about video editing, it is a useful skill to have.

Forever incomplete: Crappy RPG

In December 2011, I started this project with a friend. The game never had a name, but I kept referring to it as "crappy RPG." This is because the whole point of making this game was to make something, even if it was crap.

"Crappy RPG" was the first time I tried to use 3D in a game. In the beginning, this was more like a 3D engine rather than a game. Fun fact, the engine re-written numerous times, at least four from memory. In the end, it was actually reasonably good.

Whilst making the engine, my partner was designing more game related content, which was mainly the story. However, the game never got past the engine stage before it was scrapped. The reason being was due to a dispute between me and my partner, which was unrelated to "crappy RPG."

It is ironic that I have this game has been labeled as "forever incomplete," even after the dispute I intended to complete the project.

GMC Jam #6 winner and future Youtube channel

Its taken me over a month, but I finally played the winner entry from the most recent GMC Jam, being Isra's Wings by Joobs64. It was a very nice game. It's unbelievable what was achieved in the 72 hours in which this game was made.

I am also happy to announce that I will be setting up an personal youtube channel, in which I will be doing lets plays. I just finished recording and editing Isra's Wings, which will be the first lets play uploaded to the channel. I intend for this to be more of a hobby than anything else. However with that said I want it to have some structure, having a schedule for example.

Current plans are for the first video to be uploaded sometime in July.
