That's alot of dust...

Yes, that picture is a two minute photoshop job by me, but you get the idea. It's been an incredibly long time since i've posted on this blog, but i have not been inactive by any means, i now have three complete blogs under my belt from the year and have just started another.

Given this, i thought i would make a quick post to say that no, my programming venture did not take off, my new interest is now in animation, and you can see why on my team brief blog!

I make no promises for constant updates this time, but keep an eye on the list to the right of this column for any new blogs i make, however i'll post the links below for your convenience:

Drawing for Games

Narrative for Games

Professional Team Brief

These are the blogs i have created and finished, i have more that are works in progress that i won't be linking to but given i've just started a new blog i thought i'd let you all in on the ground floor. So here it is:

Summer Show Project

Interests in Integers

So i'm back at university, and my first two weeks of lectures are over!

I'm enjoying being back in the classroom and although my attention span doesn't seem to have improved at all, i am still very excited about the year ahead.

The new year has brought with it a new forray for me: Coding.

Now, you may remember a post about my taking a dive into app development a few months back, and how that particular experiment was never seen or heard of again. The reason for this was that i didn't have the programming knowledge to create even the most basic of apps, it was a little disheartening to say the least but at the time i simply got lost in my life away from my computer once more, rather than trying to learn.

This is what i plan to do now.

I have downloaded the necessary software, and am already 12 videos in to a 200 video playlist on youtube that will hopefull teach me to program in C# with a degree of confidence, or at the least let me make the app i want to make.

Knowing me you probably wont hear of this again (unless i make something i'm particularly proud of) until i have managed to go and make that app that is currently just out of my grasp, but i look forward to showing it to you nonetheless.

For now though, i'll just ask that you wish me luck.

Ciao!

CLEAR!

So after nearly two months of inactivity, i am back, and bring with me once again the news that i should be using this blog far more often than i have been, although given what i've managed to post so far that shouldn't be hard!

The reason i have returned this time is because i have begun the second year of my course in Design for Games, and will as a result be making use of my personal piece of the internet a lot more. You'll be seeing the majority of the work i will be doing posted here, starting with some work from my first session in the Drawing for Games module (don't expect much!)

I will be keeping this page up to date with any interesting thoughts i have or just anything i feel the need to make a post for, but for now set your sights on the link below:

Drawing for Games - Year 2

Keep an eye on that banner for more blogs as the coursework comes in.

TTFN!

A stirring beneath the dust...

Hello, dear readers.
 
I just thought i'd post an update to let everyone know that i am still here, i realise how long its been since my last post and that i am failing spectacularly to meet my goal of keeping this blog up to date but life (and for the most part "life" can be exchanged for "work") has taken over in these past few weeks, keeping me busy. Although i have had enough time to think of a few topics that i feel i could discuss on here in proceeding posts.

Unfortunately the news regarding these potential proceeding posts (try saying that really fast) isn't good as far as the next few weeks are concerned as i will be busy visiting a foreign land (nowhere exotic, but i believe i will be having a fun time with my husband while i'm there) and spending some time with my newly gained significant other either side of that. Even then i hope to keep up my hours dispensing various items around a supermarket to improve my financial situation which has been sitting at the back of my mind, quietly nudging me to the point i felt i must do something about it. After all this it will most likely be September and i'll be starting the second year of my course, i find it slighly worrying just how fast it's come about, however with that you will hopefully see more activity from me and be able to follow what im getting up to during my studies.

...studying i hope!

'til next time!

Education begins with a "T"

So it seems this is the week that i set out to do one of the things i planned to this summer...

This is the week i dip my feet into the murky, seemingly overwhelming depths of app development...

I know what you're thinking.

Due to my inherent lack of wealth as a student, i cannot afford an iPhone, hence why i will be learning to create apps for Windows Phone 7.5 for now, despite the apparent redundancy that it now faces. Still, i wont let that put me off just yet. I plan to to spend the majority of this week completing tutorials, in the hope that by the end of it i'll be able to create a very simple yet functional app.

Wish me luck!
