I make games n stuff
School
Fall is Here!
Sep 1st
I haven’t updated the blog since coming back from LA. Quick recap of the past three weeks:
- Finished an awesome internship that confirmed my slight hunch that game design is something I could be happy doing for a very long time
- Started my junior year at Georgia Tech
- Resumed work on the unannounced Indiecisive project
- Resumed work on a freelance website design project
This week is particularly awesome because it’s the start of the college football season! I’ve organized a block for most of my friends and I to get great seats to every home game, and we’ve got a state-of-the-art home theater system ready to go for away games courtesy of a friend who couldn’t fit his 60″ television in his room. It’s also a great TV for gaming, be it rocking out, shooting Nazis, or knocking down towers.
I’ve updated the “Games” section with a bit of what I worked on this summer. I made some levels for Boom Blox Bash Party that you can check out over the next few months as EA releases them as free DLC online. I’ll probably make more in the future, but you’ll find those under the username “IndiecisiveLink” as opposed to the official EA release list. Also updated my resume with some information about the other projects I got to be a part of, but I can’t go into much detail about them. I’m excited to see how the team iterates on the work we did this summer, and I’ll be sure to point it out when I finally can!
Finally, I updated the Audiball page to highlight some extraordinary praise the game recently received from MTV Multiplayer. Honestly, I don’t think the game is worthy of all that praise. So in response, Ian and I are working on making it worthy! We’ll be releasing a free update to the game later this month over Xbox Live to give it improved graphics, increased accessibility, remastered music, and a few more surprises. I’ll be sure to post an update here when it goes up. Take a sneak peek at the new boxart while you’re on the game’s page.
That about covers it…my life is eat, sleep, game with a little bit of class and football in between and I wouldn’t want it any other way. To Hell with Georgia!
I Can Has Moar Composition
Mar 31st
Here’s another composition I made about a year ago for a music class at Tech. I was still learning Reason at the time, but it’s better than the last one I posted. The time I spent on projects in this class laid the foundation for Audiball’s soundtrack, which I’ll also post at a later date. Of course, Audiball’s soundtrack was based around procedural generation, so releasing it as static files is a little harder than it is with these.

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?

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.
A Candidate You Betcha Can Believe In?
Oct 16th
Had to make a “propaganda poster” for a class. The upcoming election was the obvious subject matter. Anyways, I tried to mimic an artistic effect that was done for some Obama posters I’ve seen. Here’s the result:

Ok, so it’s not really a game, but I made a paint program for a class this week. You can check it out here. Let me know what you think!
I Can Has Composition
Aug 29th
Made this for a “music technology” class. This little clip was my first experience with music composition. Although techno and electronic music aren’t anywhere near my favorite genres, it was required for the assignment.

The Honors Potty Chart
Aug 20th

I was cleaning up some old photos off my camera and I came across this. As a joke last year in the dorms, I collaborated with a few friends to pull a prank on everyone living on my floor. The story was that Georgia Tech Dining was trying to conserve water, and so therefore they would be testing a “water recycling system” (taking drainage from the toliets to use in the dining halls) in order to encourage students to flush when they use the restroom. It’s amazing how many people fell for this, putting up a sticker every time they flushed, especially considering it was an “honors dorm.” It’s probably even more embarrassing for Georgia Tech Dining. Anyways, my biggest contribution to the project was the “official flyer” seen at the bottom, complete with a toliet resting against the rotting tree.
Finding an Excuse to Work with Games 101
Aug 18th
So this week marks the beginning of my second year at Georgia Tech. In the past, I’ve said things like I’m “looking forward to this class” or “this could be interesting.” For the first time, I think I’m legitimately excited for a class. Does that make me a nerd? Absolutely, but that shouldn’t be a surprise if you’re reading this blog. More >
