Just a small update. I am going to my first GDC Europe (or any GDC for that matter). I will be there as a Conference Associate. Hope to see you there.

So I Am A Game Developer Now…
I quit my job yesterday. I said goodbye to my comfortable paid job at Innovation 1st to try out and become an indie game developer. Maybe I am foolish, or maybe it will be one of the best decisions I will ever make in my life. Only time will tell.
You remember the announcement I was talking about several weeks ago? Well here it is. Announcing Hut 90, my business for developing and selling video games. And… that’s it for now I guess.

Year End List: 2014
2014 was quite a year. Many things happened, many things I learned. Now is not the time to talk about that. Now is the time to reflect back on 2014 and talk about what I enjoyed best. Some of the items on this list were not released in 2014 but I have still added them to the list as I got a chance to experience them this year. Therefore, without further ado, here is my list of the best of 2014.

Subconsciously Solving My Problems
This is just a small post for everyone who has difficulty solving arithmetic (or any other) problems. Instead of trying to work on the problem to solve it, try doing another mindless task. This can be anything from eating, having a shower or even sleeping. This way while you are consciously doing the other mindless tasks, your brain will subconsciously work on the problem and solve it (or at least lead you in the right direction).

One Year On
Today marks a special day. It marks one year since I finished my final year report and more importantly, one year since I finished my first ever video game. The video game I created was called ‘Warrior Of Normandy’ and it was used to answer the academic question “Can video games teach basic educational principles to primary school children without them being aware that they are learning?”. I enjoyed creating the video game so much that after I graduated I started to learn Unity and GameMaker. I believe this was the first time I got interested in video game development and believed that I actually could succeed at it. The download links to the video game created and my final year project report can be found below:

EGX Rezzed 2014 Review
So EGX Rezzed 2014 is over. It was my first ever games convention and I loved every single day I went. In this post I am just going to talk about what I enjoyed on all three days while I was there.

EGX Rezzed 2014
So today I found out EGX Rezzed 2014 is happening tomorrow. Thankfully because my boss is a good guy he let me have tomorrow off. This means that I will be attending EGX Rezzed 2014 for all three days. This will be the first ever games convention I will have gone to. Hopefully I will be able to see some great games and meet some nice people. Sadly by going to EGX means that I will not be able to finish my Mini Ludum Dare Demake game. I will try and finish it another time instead. If anybody wants to meet up at EGX (would be nice since I don’t know anybody going) then leave a comment on this blog post or contact me via Twitter.

Website Version Four
If you are reading this post, it must mean you have noticed my website has been redesigned. This was a major revision compared to my old version of the website. Here is a list of some of the updates about my new website:
- It has pages to showcase my work, information about myself and most importantly, a way to contact me.
- Used Bootstrap as the framework so the website is responsive and looks nice on any device.
- Used flat design.
- Designed the WordPress theme from scratch so it works as I want it to.
There are more things I have done redesigned and developed for my website which you can read more about by clicking here.
