So at my college i'm in project dev as lead programmer. which sounds like an epic position to be in. and on day one they hand me this book on programming and working with the Torque engine. unfortunately, said book is 2 years old and as i'm told Garage Games releases new versions about twice a year. so the book is almost completely worthless. as are the tools that they apparently purchased. well they're not COMPLETELY worthless, they're great if we were planning on making a game like metal slug, but we're supposed to be building a sort of training sim for teachers about what to do during a school shooting. i know, fun right? so i'm in here with... about 8 other people, only 3 of which are actually in any way talented with anything relevant, and we're supposed to put this thing together with no engine. now we're 5 weeks in and a solution has been found. we've decided to make it in XNA (XNA is Not Acronymned) which is microsoft's development platform for making games for pc and Xbox 360 and "Zune" apparently. which i would like to add is FREE and fairly awesome.
blah. anyway that's how my last month has been. i'm gonna try to update this thing more often.
