It seems my focii are constantly changing. Despite what I have said before I have stumbled on something truly inspirational. I am working on bringing lurkyr.com to fruition as I truly feel it has a lot of potential. I've spent the last year working on a formula for bring to life this incredible project and as of late many aspects have been coming together perfectly.

I seem to have hit a snag point though. I cannot focus on making the content without the design done. It's nagging me, distracts me. I can't get my mind to more forward without this detail taken care of. I want to be able to reveal the site and content at the same time, not be done with the content then have to wait on the site.

So, this is a plea: anyone with any design experience or any sort of skill with design, I need your help. I've recently had a lot happening in my personal life and it's really made me reanalyze my priorities. This project has been something I've been wanting to do and instead I filled my time up helping other people create their ideas. Those who I have bailed out on, I apologize. It's no offense to you or your idea. I just realized that I need to focus on my own. I need to be selfish because if not I'll overencumber myself with various projects and this will never get done.

To those that I left hanging, again, I really apologize. You know what has happened to me and in part that has to do with this conclusion. If you still need help I don't mind stepping in and offering advice but I cannot attach myself to anything other than this. I can't give my heart to it and in the end I'll resent myself for not doing this. I don't want that to come out on you, I tend to displace my blame.

To get to the point though, I need help designing this site. I need help designing the WordPress blog I have installed. Following, I need help creating a consistent design for the portal and phpBB forum. I'll need help with a logo as well. I just need photos and jpgs/gifs and I can piece it together myself. If you want to help e-mail me. Thank you very much.

So, I've recently taken it up on myself to learn AS3. While I'm excited, this desire is very unfortunately placed. I've seem to have hit some sort of gold mine. I've got a lot of projects I'm working on that require lots of attention but there's always time for learning.

My last post is really out dated, and since then my goals have changed. I'm now working on redeveloping a game previously released to NG along with it's sequel. The game promises to be entertaining and gloriously random. While I'm not too hot for the whole random thing, it's a very cute game so I don't mind it.

I've also got large plans for some old friends over at the AAHC, an old club that used to be based out of NGs. I'm working on a large scale project that will hopefully get their name out there and help them crawl out of the hole that inadvertantly have fallen into. With time, effort, and a bit of investment, the club should be back on it's feet and back in a position to offer something to new users. Make people want to come and stay.

To top that list it seems Max Games is having a competition, and what better time is there to reveal a true product of my labor? I've put some stuff on NG that didn't really deserve my making, I hope that with the help of some talented artists, I can finally put my skills to the test and earn a B.A. worthy of not only my skill but longevity with NG. I might be the oldest NG member with competance with flash who has yet to submit quality work. That'll change though.

Last, but not least, I've got a lot of potential ideas in reserve that will hopefully allow me to quickly output games, not only winning lots of mulah, but also expanding my portfolio quickly, allowing me to catch up to my peers. Hell, I'm a year away from getting my degree, I think it's about time I had something to show potential employers.

So I'm happy to finally announce, to those who care even though I know nobody does, my pipeline is coming to fruition. I've got a couple of games that I'm working on that have some good progress and hopefully will see the light of day. It's been five years now of learning flash and teaching others and it seems the time has finally come for me to contribute to the portal an actual project (Annoying Asteriods doesn't count :3).

RPG Project '08- Still fresh out the noggin this project has the most progress. The user controls, dialogue, and battle functions have, for the majority, been completed.

DOA Project '08- This was a stale project resurrected. If you can puzzle out the initials then you'd know what the project is about. Hopefully it'll be key to bolstering my popularity in the portal and improve my RPG's reception.

Skellies- This project is just being born but already ideas are flowing out of my head for this beautiful throw back. For those who know, Skellies is a game played in New York and goes by other names through the big cities of america. It involves bottle caps and flicking them to different boxes on 6x6 foot box chalked on the ground. It'll be a very niche game but it's being developed purely out of a desire to put the out there. The game play is very addictive and hopefully a lot of people will have a lot of fun with it.

I'm just jumping onto the actual development stage with a lot on my plate but I shouldn't have much trouble with it. I have the skills required and sufficient spare time to get it done. Hopefully within the coming months I'll be able to put names to my two unnamed projects, as well as possibly submit Skellies to the Portal.

If you're interested in my RPG project, please drop me an e-mail or PM and I'll be able to give you a sample of the engine. If you're interested I can work on a list of assest I'll need. As it stands the list is going to be long. Long enough that most leisurely artists won't want to divulge in the project so please only e-mail/PM me if you're serious. Also, I require at least a couple samples of your work. I'm looking for an appropriate style to complement the narrative of the game.

If you're interested in my Skellies project do as above. I've got a style I'd like for this game as well but it will be less intensive since the gameplay is very straight forward.

That's all I have to say for now. I'll be sure the update the status of each project and hopefully be able to submit an Alpha as soon as i get some artwork infused.
