One + One = Two

I have another member of SAD Games, my best friend Matt Davis has decided to jump on board and lend me his graphical talent and I can tell you it’s been a massive help and provided me with huge inspiration for our next titles. We both have the same mine sets in regard to realism, we aren’t going to set unachievable goals, but this does open up a lot more opportunities to develop games that I’ve shied away from through lack of man hours and lacking artistic skills. I’ll post some screenshots of his work here soon.

We both like the idea of our next game (SADGames second game) to be an Isometric grame, I’ve been learning a lot with this view expecting it to be difficult but it has so far proved much harder than anticipated. I’m going to approach a second tutorial which can be found here.

Wish me luck!

Introduction into SADGames.

Hey well this is my first blog post ever, I’ve never had a blog before so bare with me!

SADGames is a one man game development team specialising in the Indie section. We..errr “I” basically do this as a hobby and since SADGames has its first game currently surfing around the wonderful world of Xboxlive, I felt I should provide some sort of communication into what goes on here, I hope to provide tutorials for beginners, screenshots of current games, information of upcoming games/ideas/stupid things like hamsters with Nazi helmets.

I’m always open to comments whether negative or positive preferring the latter of course and I’d consider extra help in developing computer games, I will echo this in upcoming blog posts if I was to ever gain more than one reader.

The ultimate goal of SADGames is to develop games that are fun and original, if it can make a few quid on the way even better but it has to stay a hobby, if I feel it’s becoming a drag then I wouldn’t enjoy it leading me to not bothering, however since finding programming 12 years ago on a simple language known then as Div game studio and not looking back since I doubt that day will ever be upon me.

 SADGames first game is 360 Video Poker which I will go on to describe in my next blog. I'm currently working on a few games hoping for one to shine enough for me to focus on full time but right now I'm enjoying 3 game ideas, I'll keep you posted when "The One" makes itself known.
