Almost there... !

We're on the final stretch of The Darkness II project and it's coming along quite nicely. It's so cool to read everyone's positive responses to our preview build (Kotaku, Shack News, Twitter, etc.)! Makes me really excited for release day.

On the personal project front of Battle Balloons (no, I have not forgotten about it!), I finally found a bit of time to work on the editor. Still putting together the UI framework/widgets but at least some real progress is being made. Will post something up soon...

For now, enjoy some actual gameplay screenshots of The Darkness II, the game I slave away at during the day. :-) Look out for the cover art on a retail store shelf soon, too!

The Darkness II Announced

What have I been up to at work since releasing BioShock 2? Well, it was just recently announced: The Darkness II! I wish they released more screenshots and information (we've been up to so much!), but I'm just a programmer and not in marketing. :) Keep an eye out for more reveals... I'm super excited!

Go to the dark, JACKIEEEE!~~~

Lego Robot Love

It's been awhile and I don't have anything to announce, but I thought I would post *something*...

Been working mostly on my real job lately. We will have something to say about it soon, which makes me really excited! I was looking at some old, internal videos the other day and it makes me feel so proud with the progress we have made.

Amidst all that are only brief moments of spare time to work on Battle Balloons. Not long enough to do any major work, so I have been spending it cleaning & dusting bits & pieces. From an OCD-coder's perspective, it is looking swell. :)

I will sign off this post with some awesome Lego art by Chris Giddens and Ted Andes, which I saw featured on on The Living Brick. I don't have the skills to make super-detailed 3D art (been meaning to learn it though), so I find great inspiration seeing people create interesting pieces from basics. Check it out!

P.S. Anyone going to GDC (San Francisco)? Going for the first time this year... I am sure it will be fun, but not really sure what to expect!
