Well, It's been a few days, haven't posted any progress, but I have some now. The editor is coming along well. I updated the GUI, it's alot prettier now :P Any objects in the proper folders will now load and get placed into the proper menu bar. You can place, rotate, and scale each object. Also I fixed the entity buttons and fixed a large bug that popped up on me when I tried to add in some objects on different menus. It's a good thing though, I think it streamlined my code a bit more and made things a bit easier on me. Attatched is a screenshot of most of the editor features. The big blue box is a trigger object which you will be able to attach dialogs or scripted sequences too, such as when you enter a cave, you may want an old hermit to jump out and scare you with some classic dialog boxes saying "AARaaeeERRrrrrghhh!! GET OUTTA MY CAVE!!" It could then start a battle or something. I also put a picture of a possible hero penguin in the gallery below. I say possible because I have a few other hairstyles I wanna try out on the penguins. The hero of course will get the best one :) That's all for now

Progress on the editor is going very well! I can now spawn all my pieces at the click of a button on the side menu. Button placements in the pic are a tad screwed up, but that's real easy to fix. I was too stoked once I got my object placement system working. Next big step now is to save and reload my map file. That should prove to be a few hours of difficulty to get just right (5 minutes in any skilled coders hand), but once that is done I will be well underway into my project. Soon I will probably start up a game page for this project once I can justify it with some screenshots and videos.

Well, I have been making progress on my RPG map editor. I have the the camera controls, and alot of object position / rotation features added. It's being created with alot of things in mind, so progress is slow. I'm sort of planning as I go. So far it seems to be working. Hopefully by next week I will be able to spawn any object I want and be able to save the map file. After I get that main functionality in I will need to add in extra controls for NPCs, quests, items, collision detection, etc. It's coming along nicely so far though. I have a water placeholder and snow effect in also. The snow will probably be a random event in game in the arctic regions. Well, that's about all for today!

I haven't had much of a career to speak of in game design. Right now it's a hobby and a future goal. I hope to one day create 3d and 2d art for a big games company.

Right now I do "real work" which includes landscaping and HVAC work. I call that real work because, well, I don't look at game design as work (yet). I really enjoy it. One day, I may change my tune under the stress of a job, but right now I thoroughly enjoy it.

I have worked on various projects over the last 4 years for myself and other people. My current endeavor is a cartoony, 3d isometric view adventure/RPG starring some of my own characters that I dream up.

In no particular order... these are my favorite games. I was slightly disapointed to find Dark Forces 2 : Jedi Knight and Terra Nova weren't in the list of games on this site.
