Shiny New Blog

I'm starting up this new blog to chronicle my development efforts.

I have lofty plans for an über retro game creation system, along the same vein as VERGE, Sphere, RPG Maker, OHRRPGCE, MegaZeux, and ika.

I'm calling it FORCE.

Lofty as it is, I'll be putting the majority of my current efforts towards getting a VERGE 3 map editor out the door, which I've titled MOME RATH. I've been friends with the VERGE crew for a number of years, and among other things I have a lot of VERGE code lying around.

A more proper introduction will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead as I carve out a home for the two.

I've recently registered this domain, www.choosetheforce.com, and my new primary e-mail address is aen@choosetheforce.com.

My posts are going to be programmer-oriented for the most part — mulling over implementation decisions, documenting my findings and experiences, etc. My goal is to provide some useful, informative, and fun content for other game-flavored programmers who enjoy fooling around with code as much as I do.

I'm kicking things into forward gear, so expect a lot of changes in the near future as I figure out what the hell I'm doing. I'm learning how to use this fandangly blogger (Serendipity), how SVN works, and thinking up clever ways to trick myself into posting as often as possible.

So! Pardon, while I go put a boot where it'll do some good.
