The 21st Century and Beyond

Dang, it's has been a while since my last blog post. Anyway this week I'm going to talk about video games that we have today and what the future might hold.

Rise of the Giants

Ahh the 80s... Probably the most ground-breaking periods in video game history. Not only did it see the focus in genre innovation it also saw the birth of some of the most influential franchises.

As the title suggests the physics puzzle-based game, World of Goo, is celebrating its birthday by having a sale where you as the consumer are in the position to pay however much you want for it.

First Showcase of Work

Damn, so knackered. Second lesson of Visual Design had us to go to an archway nearby to do some more single-point perspective work, so my fellow Game Art students should expect some new sketches to uploaded onto Facebook (don't worry those who aren't Game Artists at De Montfort, I plan to upload some samples here on the blog later).

Blast to the Past

I find it funny how the majority of consumers of today's saturated gaming market don't know about the origins of video games, heck even I'm no exception for my knowledge goes as far back as the early Atari home consoles.

It's Alive!

Alright, now that I have created blog I guess it's time to make it pretty. Considering this is my first time ever using a blog, it does feel kinda awkward as I'm typing this down. Better get to work...
