Its a really exciting time for Flash with me right now :) I have a load of stuff to release into the portal within the next month, some older projects ive been working on for a while, as well as some quick smaller games ive put together with various people just to make some cash.

Penguinz should finally be finished fairly soon. Ive been working on this game with Vengeance since this time last year, but its been delayed for a load of different reasons. I started my first year of Uni this year and didnt have as much time as I would have liked to put towards the game. Also, Vengeances computer died so he hasnt been able to work on anything for quite a while. Plus, we're both just lazy bastards.

But yeah, the game is looking awesome so far. Ive been working really hard on the cutscenes, trying to concentrate on practicing my full body fbf skills, which seem to be really improving. Im really happy with how they have come out so far. The trouble with spending a year on making a game is that my art skills significantly improve over that amount time, which makes the quality a bit inconsistent. This isnt really noticeable with Penguinz though as I made sure all the characters fit the same style. The only difference you may notice is the improved animation quality in the cutscenes!

Anyway, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the game, I really looking forward to releasing it!

Another game I just finished is Fowl Play. A few people may have played the beta for this, basically its a short fast fun arcade game where you get revenge on birds - by shitting on them. The game is actually 100% completed, we are just waiting for our sponsor to give the go ahead - for some reason they want to wait until mid august to release the game. I am sooo happy with how the art turned out in the game, I feel I managed to finish everything off to a really high standard. Ive set myself a new bench mark for future projects!

Ive also been working on atop secret personal flash movie. Really happy with it so far and it should be finished really soon so keep an eye out for it, you might like it :D

As I said ive also been working on some smaller games, I just did all the art for a real simple game my friend knocked up today. Chaz also asked me to do the graphics for a simple little last-stand style defense game he's been working on, It shouldnt be a lot of work but just something nice and small for me to get stuck into! There should be a real small amount of artwork so I might just go all out and make it look shit hot... But tbh I dont think I have the time.

All this, and ive also set up a design/media agency thing with some mates from uni. Its called Grindhead and basically we are just going to make flash games, websites and other media productions while going through uni - its a good way to make money while practicing and learning skills, and itll also be brilliant to come out of university with a degree and a load of professional contracts on my portfolio :)

So yup, ive been designing websites as well as doing all my flash work!

Exciting times :)
