GAME4TRESS


When i started "IClick" i confess that developing in an IDE, different than Microsoft Visual Studio came as a problem to me.
I see many people blaming Microsoft for everything, but honestly, i'm Microsoft fan number 1, not just because of Visual Studio, but everything else also. Ok, blame me, but there's no other software like Microsoft's,... Everything in the tip of your fingers,... absolute control of what's happening in your code. Ok, i don't work for Microsoft, but i really respect their work and i believe they are serious on what they do (that's very important, specially these days).
Like i was saying,... it's hard to change from and IDE to another specially when certain tools that i used to use does not exist in the other IDE. This slowed down my game development process, really hard, but even though i loved the final result, the final task, that was the finished game.
In the Game4tress web page
http://www.game4tress.com
i announced that a new game would be finished at the end of November 2009. You can see the reason why this didn't happen in the Game4tress blog
http://game4tress.blogspot.com/
but the lack of experience with the IDE and AS3 were also important in this matter. As the time went by, i started knowing the best practices and sollutions, the correct way of doing things. That brought me to nowadays, where what was once a simple game is now something elaborated and specially engaging.
Why all this explanation when the title of this post is the name of the web site? Well, not only to e xplain the reason why the announced game, in the web site, wasn't finished, but also to explain why http://www.game4tress.com hasn't been updated.
Working 8 hours a day, more 6 hours a day for colledge, studying, making games (whenever possible) , makes my life very difficult to do anything else. Making food, cleaning the house, socializing and house shooping makes also a weekend seem like a flash. Trying to run against the clock or making more than one thing at a time defines my life.
Of course that i have enough content to fill the web site, of course that i have plenty of ideas to implement in the web site, but,... no time left. First of all, making games, after all, its what Game4tress is all about. I'll update the web site asasp, but when ill it be? hope asasp,...
At least i've created the blog
http://game4tress.blogspot.com/
that i'll update with every news and hoppefully, at least once a week!!! remain alert!!!
