AT&T is Being a Big Poo-Poo Head

You know that whole thing where people have a bad experience with a company, and they post on their blogs hoping enough people read it for the company to do something about it? Yeah, I’m gonna try that.

After finishing up my XNA game, I wanted to play around with iPhone development. To do this, I needed an iPhone, and since it was close to Christmas at the time, I figured it was as good a time as any to pick one up. Below is the story of my unsuccessful attempt at purchasing an iPhone from AT&T that started in December and is still causing me headaches to this day. More >

Snow in Atlanta: Everyone freak out!!

The current record for snowfall in Atlanta is about 4.2 inches, recorded in the fabled storm of 1993. Some parts of Atlanta have well over 5 inches of accumulation (Centennial Olympic Park, for example), and others are around 2. The fact remains that it has indeed snowed in the south, and therefore everyone should run around and scream like crazy people until it melts away so that we can return to our normal lives. In other news, I spotted this by the World of Coke while walking through the “thundersnow” storm, which pretty much says it all:

Random Art #1

Here are some more random designs I made last year. The events they were made for have come and gone, but hey, it can’t hurt to put them on the blog, right?

Finishing Pre-Production, or Starting Development?

It’s one of those “half-full, half-empty” things, you know?  I’m getting into the full swing of the next project from Indiecisive Games. We’re still waiting for Audiball’s sales results, but it’s never too early to act on a good idea. I’m excited about working on a new game. On the other hand, I’ve enjoyed being able to relax, catch up on sleep, and have a social life over the past two months and the nature of the job means I have to give some of that up (most likely the unimportant stuff like sleep).

Theme Update

Just installed a new theme to the site, one that shouldn’t have any problems in IE7, Firefox, or Opera (image alignment was rough in the last theme). I’ll be making some of my own changes to it over the next few weeks, so if you encounter any problems displaying the page, please let me know. This blog is also now being streamed to the new D-Pad Network homesite, so here’s a shout out to all the regulars over there.

Winding Down

Just finished my last week of classes for the semester. It’s been a busy one, so busy in fact that I completely forgot to post about Audiball when it was released. The game has been out for three weeks now on Xbox Live Community Games, and we’re getting great positive feedback from players. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Audiball & IGF

Indiecisive Games’ debut title Audiball was entered into the Independent Games Festival today. I’m still working on content for the upcoming XBLCG release, but since I hadn’t posted anything about the game on my blog yet, I figured this was as good of a time as any. Please let me know what you think of the trailer we’ve released, and feel free to email me any questions you may have about the game.

New Game – Flying Fighters

No, this isn’t the big new game announcement. That’s coming on Friday, and this probably won’t be the first place you see it. Flying Fighters is a GBA game I made for a CS class. Check it out here.
