The Outer Reaches

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

You know, I’ve had this site for a while and whilst there is a link to it in the blogroll, I’ve never actually mentioned anything about it on here (that I can recall)… I am of course talking about The Outer Reaches – The Second Beginning, the browser based space strategy game Spirit and I created.

PGD Competition 2006

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

At the start of the year, I was convinced to enter the Pascal Game Development “Big Boss” Competition 2006. The aim is simple, to develop a game, starting on the 15th January and ending on 7th May.

Heres the scenario… I play Grand Theft Auto and I love it. Now, I get busted for driving a stolen car and I get taken into the Police Station. Inside I grab a gun from an officer and shoot three people dead. Then, I get arrested (if I’m lucky) or shot dead (if I’m not). At this point, I say “Life is a video game.
