Photo Dump!
Sunday September 28, 2008
Time to clear out some photos from my phone. As I said on Monday, we celebrated the announcement of Rugby League 2: World Cup Edition, my first game at Sidhe Interactive. The company took us out for some nibbles and drinks. Meet the team!
Those Wellingtonians seemed pretty happy that they beat Auckland for that Ranfurly Shield, so they held a parade for the players.
I was owned by the bus strikes on Wednesday and arrived at work 30mins late, so that night, I planned to stay at the Hub and walked to work the next morning. Good weather for it as well! On Friday night, I met with Jono and Dave at this Malaysian restaurant where we had the awesomest grilled prawns. A bit pricey, and not very big portions, but delicious.
Today, music at church - daylight savings meant I had to get up at what was really 7am. Then I met Laura for yum char at Majestic. I need to stay awake and not nap to keep this sleep schedule intact.

SHIPPED
Monday September 22, 2008
We got the announcement that the game we've been working on for the PS2 finally got the green light from our publishers.
So that means that at the end of October or the beginning of November, you can go out into New Zealand stores and buy a copy of my first game.
That's right, you can play the game, flick to the credits and point and shout when my name appears on screen.
While personally, it's not my kind of genre, I wholeheartedly endorse and promote this game to give you a fantastic gaming experience.
And without further delay, Sidhe Interactive presents...

I Blame Casey
Wednesday September 17, 2008
An extremely challenging set of puzzle games where you're in a room and you have to escape. It reminds me of Phoenix Wright - go around collecting things and use them to solve puzzles.
I've beaten:
- Sphere
- Vision
- RGB (BOTH Secret Doors)
- Switch
Yay that's all of them! \o/

Bad Start to the Week
Tuesday September 16, 2008
Some things I forgot to mention last week: I saw Hamish Carter, Olympian, Gold Medallist and Auckland Grammar old boy, at the BNZ Food Court. He was buying sushi. I wanted to say hi to him but I was too shy and he was talking to someone else and it would have been cool to get a picture with him in retrospect but there were so many people around I would have looked really stupid and touristy and Azn.
Speaking of Azn, I got interviewed by some Azn magazine so if you see my mug somewhere, you'll know why. She asked me if the Government should be spending more money on the defense force.
Anyway, it has been a pretty bad start to the week. Yesterday I spent the whole day battling with freaking Metrowerksfail over some stupid access paths problem. Apparently, if you have two files of the same name but in different directories, and each of the directories are in your access paths, they are treated as duplicates. What a load of fail.
Following that, I played pretty badly at badminton. I was just smashing the shuttlecock in anger most of the time :p
Today I was just fixing some stupid sound problem and it boiled down to nothing to do with sound, but rather the directories in which the resources were located. Blah.

Websites
Saturday September 13, 2008
It's been a very busy week in terms of the two websites which I am responsible for.
Firstly, the Ignite Youths website was released to public eyes at the beginning of the week - a result of some awesome collaboration between myself and Reuben.
Secondly, Pokemon Platinum was leaked three days early, much to my surprise, so I moved into emergency mode and started hacking for information as soon as I could. That involved ringing the flat during work hours and getting Andrew to email me some of my programs. ¬.¬
In any case, Psypoke's got some great information for the time we've spent on it. I've been browsing some other websites and they're very far ahead in the game, but I know WPM from PokeBeach spent 28 hours continuously playing the game. I wouldn't be surprised if SPP had some slave doing the same for him.

Spring Time is Here
Monday September 8, 2008
I've apparently survived my first Wellington winter, and to remind me of the days to come, we were on Oriental Parade with Nats and Ben, who were visiting from Auckland.
Of course, Oriental Parade immediately implies The Parade Cafe.
Which rounded out an awesome weekend of food.
I've been recovering from a cold lately. I had to give a presentation to my team at work on Friday, and that was extremely difficult. On the brightside, I got another Show and Tell prize - a Rubik's Cube keyring! Not that I care much for those things anyway. I need to remember to
I finish this post with some muffins.
