Wanted: Focus

As the year ticks quickly onward, I find myself realising that we've made little, or next to no progress on game development. Primarily due to the fact that the majority of the year passed so far was spent on full time education. However, summer break is now upon us and I have more time to dedicate myself to releasing a game as soon as humanly possible.


BUTTTT there's a problem. Through college, I spent time procrastinating by working on games, programming, researching sciencey stuff, anything to get away from actually doing my work. Now I have my results, and I no longer need to do any college work, I'm drained. I can't find my buzz to work on games. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, I most certainly do enjoy it. I just can't find the motivation to push me forward. Waking up late in the morning has led me to being stupidly tired at night and I'm no longer able to stay up until sunrise like I used to do - which is an inconvenience since I work best alone at night.


It has always been a problem with me. I can never finish what I start. I've started many games, and finished very few. I've started to read many books, and finished very few. I've started working on many games, and finished very none. Well that's a lie. I've made simple games, but the Marshmallow Zombies team needs dedicated offices with a set up to help me focus on what I'm doing. Sitting at home with a bed close at hand and the ever-increasing distraction of the wonderful Interwebs is not a good recipe for working. Ever.


I'm not even bothered to finish this blog post but you're reading it which is a sign that I can at least have the energy to hit Publish. It draws me in with it's orange glow. Urging me to publicly roll out the post in the middle of a sent-

I'm back!

College work has gotten in the way lately, but I'm pleased to announce I'm now back in a position where I can carry on working and blogging ^_^
I'll be sure to let you know when I have a beta to release for my game. In the meantime, our co-founder (David Smith) is close to a beta for his project. I'll be sure to post when it's ready.

Damn you, Elder Scrolls!

So ever since 11/11, I've lost my development crew for Marshmallow Zombies to Skyrim. The design doc for our MMO has been left untouched for 3 days - not good news.

I bet by the time they're finished we'll have lost all motivation to finish, but there we go.

Come Christmas, I'll have the game! Hopefully...

Then you must all wait for me! Deal with it :3

Yet Another MMO

Although that would make an excellent title for my up-and-coming project, it shall not be.

So yes, I'm working on an MMORPG. Maybe first of all it won't be massively multiplayer, just multiplayer. I guess I'm just making a MORPG ("morp-guh").

I've a team of a couple of people helping with the art and storyline. Seeing as I'm the logical side, I'm just doing the programming. I'd post a screenshot but I haven't actually got anything to show right now.

(Maybe in the future O.O)

I'll keep you updated. But it's 1:23 AM now. Nap time.

Thank you and good night.

Blogger > Tumblr >= Other blogging systems

So I've decided to go change from tumblr to blogger. Tumblr seems to be full of reblog tards, and since I love Google so much what better place to turn to than BLOGGER!

You'll see my game development progress here, perhaps we can be best friends and I'll show you all of the cool things I can make!

Or maybe I'll just sit here like a bum, typing, whilst you read all of this - giving me the illusion I have someone to talk to.

EDIT: I have had a blogger for a very long time (2009 believe it or not!). I just figured I'd put it to good use at last.
