Yep, it's true. I've been playing and creating games all my life. There's some serious games, like math and programming, and games just for the enjoyment of participating, like skiing and playing piano. There's also coin-op games like pinball and classic video games like Centipede and Crystal Castles. And then there's the crazy world of being a video game developer in 2011, which is a game in itself. As you can see, I have a very broad interpretation of the word "game".
This is a free-form blog. The only rule is that I have to write something game related in it every day. I got inspired to do this by watching "Julie and Julia" a very good chick-flick, even for guys. In this movie Julie starts a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child's famous French cookbook. It's a mammoth undertaking to cook over 500 recipes in 365 days. I don't have such a well-defined goal yet, but there is a goal.
I'm planning to develop a brand new video game from scratch, so some of this blog will be about that. It's truly from scratch and mostly a solo effort. I'll be doing the art, music, sound effects, and of course the design and the programming. It's sort of like an author of a novel looking at a blank page. It's very exciting to know that anything is possible. There's no name, no publisher, no boss, just the vague notion that it's going to be something new and fun.
