Sorry for the lack of updates here. I have been quite busy with the development and recent release of LicenseKeeper.
I do have plans to start the initial design phase of my next game soon. But, I need to get through the next release of LicenseKeeper as well as some Cocoa consulting work for [...]

Server Down

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Announcement: Just in case you were looking for the company website or Bullfrog download.

I’ve accomplished a ton since then.
I have learned Objective-C and some Cocoa. I have dabbled with The Allegro Game Framework but ultimately chose something else. I committed to competing in the 2005 Original Mac Games Cup which directly lead [...]

The spammers finally found this site.
So I’ve implemented spam prevention for the comments section. If you are a logged in registered reader, there is no change. For unregistered readers, there is now a security number to enter in when commenting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Catching Up

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

I forget how fast the world moves these days. So much can happen in only a few days.
I remember as a kid, I could waste away an entire summer vacation without the sense that I missed a thing. When I returned to school the next fall, life continued just as it left off [...]
