So first things first, I ended up canning my review of ESO. I got partway through and lately I've stopped playing so it hindered my research into giving a good quality review of the game. The game is good, but I've been busy and I'm honestly just looking for a more sandbox style MMO. We'll see if EQ:Next is ballsy enough to be a true sandbox world that gives the player unparalleled freedom to be the type of player they want to.
Anyway, at the moment I'm on vacation out in the mountains of Colorado, which is giving me some time to catch up on my blog and relax a bit. My consulting projects at work are ramping up quickly and I have 3 development projects as well so I've been extremely busy and tanked out during the week, and thus haven't spent any time working on my own projects.
I do have a few ideas I've been knocking around, first is rebuilding my website to be a more solid website and include a database of users to register with my website. I do need to get a better version of Visual Studio on my home machine, but likely I'll rebuild the website in C#.NET ASPX pages with a couple html pages sitting on the front end.
I want to make my website a very interactive, fun place for people to go to and check out my projects. So that's the first task I need to start working on. The second is my next game project, which will likely be a mobile / web project. I'm thinking of making either a traditional Tower Defense in the SBX Universe, or possibly combining Tower Defense with an RTS/MOBA style game. When I say MOBA I mean imagine League of Legends without any champions where you build your towers and spawners and the "minions" have automated AI based on the type of ships you build. Just a loose idea, I'd have to iterate on it a bit to get a solid working plan, and I might release a traditional TD first and then make that style of game after.
These are just some of the ideas and plans I have at the moment. My programming knowledge in C# .NET has been improving quite rapidly as I have 3 projects that are entirely in C# or use C# as the web application back end language, so I've had lots of opportunities to learn in that area. Next will be using Java and Eclipse as I'm less comfortable with those compared to VStudio and C#.
That's it for now, I know it's been a while since I've posted. I'll likely do a 4th of July Sale on Indie Game Stand so stay tuned for that!
Auf wiedersehen,
Jace
