Recent Project Work

So, recently I completed writing a long…well, I guess you’d call it a short story, or maybe even a chapter of a novella. And now that that’s out of the way, I can get on with doing other cool stuff. (It had sort of been weighing on my mind for a while.)

I’m doing more PHP work on secret projects, and I’m also working in Inform on a project for the TIGSource Commonplace Book Competition. (I’m actually working in Inform 6; it’s more programmer-oriented than Inform 7, but hey, I’m a programmer! And it’s what I learned. Maybe someday I’ll learn 7.) I bet I’ll even be able to finish this one for Halloween.

Oh, yes, Halloween. I always want to have something…special happen for Halloween. We’ll see what I can *ahem* dig up.

I’ve started blending my recreation with creativity in the classic Let’s Play format; look for my threads in the Forum Games section of the Chaoseed forum.

This coming weekend I’m going to ARG-Fest-o-Con 2008 in Boston. Whee!

Working hard on Special Project 2, with a bit of 1 thrown in if I can manage it.

Secret Project 2, Nethack

So…more work on, er, Secret Project 2. Yep.

Today I had a thought. Dwarf Fortress is kind of a roguelike, isn’t it? I like its emphasis on construction. And Nethack is basically open source. Hmmm…

Stuff 2, PNGs

More work on Secret Project 1.

Also, in order to really do justice to the procedural generation idea I had, I have to master creating PNGs programmatically. I started on that today.

Last night I stayed up working on, uh, let’s call it Secret Project 1.

You’re just going to have to trust me on this.
