I'm now blogging on video games at Jeffool.com, so feel free to come by and check it out!

I don't currently have a computer. I'm using a pal's computer today (and was yesterday.) And I currently don't have a job in Games, and that doesn't look to change. After a guy I know did the supremely excellent thing of getting me a shot for a design position I screwed that pooch quite impressively. I was asked to complete an essay on "How ( Read more... )

So, yeah. I figure I'm going to get a 'actual' blog to bullshit about stuff in too. Just to keep this one more focused on actual work I do, which is far less than the number of posts here. So here we go: http://jeffool.blogspot.com/ Yeah, I'll do stuff with it later.

I'll admit; it's obvious. Everyone's thought of it. I don't like to admit to thinking about it, being someone who often laments about lame remakes and sequels. But damn it, I am thinking of it. Especially as games have more capabilities than they did back then. So, how great would it be to remake The Oregon Trail? And I don't mean into a ( Read more... )

So, I've bothered a few folks to give opinions about my control scheme idea. (It's funny, everyone emails or IMs, no one posts.)

One guy fucking hated it. But that's cool because he puts purdy colors on purdy pikshursThe five or six gamers I asked seemed to like it just fine. Well, except the guy who seemingly hates the idea of any first-person ( Read more... )

I realize as an independent developer making my "Citizen Kane" of games in its entirety is a pipedream, so realistic goals must be set for Zombie Apocalypse Game. First the larger idea:

My idea for Zombie Apocalypse Game is, I hope, is a little bit different from other games. You're effectively Ben from Night of the Living Dead. It's an action ( Read more... )

After simultaneously thanking and blaming Steve Rolston (Christ, I can't stop mentioning that guy,) for my lack of enthusiasm towards a Rocket Jockey remake, I've found a new ebullience for loving my own project. Myself. I'm just like anyone else. Sometimes I hate myself, and sometimes I love myself. But overall? Damn do I love me. Anyone who ( Read more... )

I haven't programmed in a few months now. I'm going to be rusty as fuck. I may forget it all if I'm not careful. I've been slacking. This after Steve Rolston (, who is an excellent fellow even if he is currently contracted with Electronic Arts,) did two pictures for me, for the game idea Rocket Punks. After another guy named Jeff modeled a ( Read more... )

Alright, I'm back. Not having a computer sucks.

I've written more entries for my Zombie Blog. A total of only five, I believe.

As I've not had any way to communicate, no work has been done on Rocket Punks, aside from the wondiferous artwork of two logos by Steve Rolston. He's got a spiffy blog over here. Though he should post more work ( Read more... )

As this is a work-blog, I'm going to ask your professional opinions on something. And I want the brutal truth. This isn't fun and games, this is my livelihood, damn it! (There, now that I've set the mood. :D ( Read more... )
