Mario Marathon!
Jun 28th
This weekend I have been obsessed with watching the Mario Marathon. Each year these guys have a marathon playing all the Super Mario games and raise money toward the Child’s Play Charity. They have certain levels you can unlock with your donations and they keep playing until they catch up to those donations. As of this writing they are up to 57 hours of play time, 667 of 809 levels unlocked, and have raised over $38,000.
Game Design Portfolio
Jun 14th
I’ve decided to go ahead and start using this site for my different portfolios of things I have created. Whether they’re web design, coding projects, or game design projects I plan on posting them here.
My first portfolio I’ve started to put together is my current projects I’ve been working on – Game Design. I’ve been working with a program called Game Maker Pro to learn the ins and outs of putting a game together and plan on moving soon to XNA with my C# knowledge. Right now my knowledge in this are mostly deals with design and programming more so than art and sound. I’ll also be posting my game design documents I have put together like proof of concept documents, concept design documents, and simple design documents for games I have thought about. These are games I have no intention of ever putting together and was merely put together solely for exercise purposes.
You can view my portfolio in it’s current state now – I will be adding more soon.
