Offspring Fling Revealed!
Hey internet! Today I am very happy to show you the official REVEAL TRAILER of Offspring Fling!
Offspring Fling started as a game jam game back in May of 2011 where the theme was motherhood. I was incredibly happy with the way the jam version of Offspring Fling turned out, so for the next several months I slowly picked away at the game turning it into something bigger and better. The game became so big and awesome that I decided to turn it into my first non-freeware game! WHOA!
The game's soundtrack is provided by none other than Alec Holowka who pitched in the original track for the game that was in the game jam version. It's also the same track used for the trailer.
So get HYPE and spread the word about Offspring Fling if you would be so awesome! Oh and also stay tuned for more updates about it. The game might be coming out sooner than you think!

Namiko Quick Preview
Yo! I went to a game jam last weekend at the University of Advancing Technology, and I made a game! (Again!) I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it, but for now here are some screenshots.

Goin' to the PAX10!
Earlier this morning me and my crew at Retro Affect finally got the green light to finally announce to the world that Snapshot is going to be in the PAX10, YEAH!
Check out all the games right here. There are some good ones in there, so I am super excited that Snapshot was able to squeeze into the selection somehow. Snapshot was also featured in the Boston Indie Showcase back at PAX East, so it also being in the PAX10 is some sort of back to back penny arcade super game selection combo, I think.
So now it's back to work on Snapshot to make sure it's looking good for the showcase!

Cool Arts!
Hey! I haven't been posting a lot of entries in the old blog but I have been posting some new stuff in my art gallery thing. Here are some rad previews, but why don't you check em out RIGHT HERE!
I don't really get a lot of time to just chill out and draw, but lately I've been trying to make more time for it. Most of my time now is spent with Snapshot and other side game projects, and the occasional marathon of Starcraft 2 laddering or Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition online matches. Hopefully I'll have some cool stuff to post about in the coming weeks regarding one of my games, but for now this is all I got!

Here we go!
YEAH! After a million years of not having an active website, I finally got a new one up. It only took months of working on it to get it going this time. Now you can find all my games, websites, and artwork in one place, yay! I ended up writing a whole 'nother back end system from scratch for this website since I'm too stubborn to use Wordpress or anything like that.
Aside from the basic php, mySQL, html, css, etc, here are some nifty things that I used on this site that are super cool!
jQuery
A super awesome light weight javascript framework or something like that. It makes a lot of stuff a lot easier to do, and a lot easier to understand. Most of the other effects on the site rely on jQuery as a foundation.
Colorbox
A pretty rad light box type thing. I always have a hard time getting light boxes to work on my sites but this one actually worked right out of the zip file on the first try. It looks nice and loads pretty fast too.
Slides
An image slider that makes cycling images really easy for most of the entries on my "stuff" page. Very simple and easy to understand, with lots of options to modify it. It's also really easy to style with css, which is a big plus for me.
960.gs
A css framework that I live by these days. It makes arranging websites into a clean grid super easy to do and takes a lot of the stress off of figuring out css voodoo to get stuff aligned in columns. This site obviously uses a custom size, which comes from the css generator on 960.gs.
Smarty
A php template engine from beyond the stars. If you work with any sort of php code for makin' websites, then you need to be using Smarty.
Alright, that should do it for the grand opening post. And yes, I know that the background illustration is too big for your monitor. I like to think of it as a bonus if you stretch it out across two monitors, or if you just have a really huge wide screen single monitor. DEAL WITH IT. ;D
