The Journey Ends...Or Does It Begin?!?!

I felt I had to post this one last time (Not saying I won't carry on), but its been a year now so...Anyway, we finally made a game. myself and Dan was in one group while Liam was in the other but we both produce two great games which put the previous years to shame and has made a bench mark for the nearly years.

Three years us bloggers have seen, done things which I don't think normal people will ever get themselves into situations like we have been in, but because of the strange stuff we have done, this has helped us make and produce some great Third Year projects. Also, we have met some great people along the way, who we never thought we would be hanging with or even make conversations with (Which I am great at by the way).

From looking through the blog now, I can possibly conclude that we are strange people but we have had a laugh doing it and how the hell have we manage to come out with Firsts and pass our course!

Us Bloggers have now graduated (18/07/2013) and part of some Uni cult now apparently...And would I personally change anything over these three years? Well all I can say to that is "Everything happens for a reason".

Where are the bloggers now?

Ryan
He now works for a well known Games Company doing QA which he hopefully will later on do Game Art. His sandwich business is still going strong, in the way that no one is ordering since they don't like the 5 weeks in advance scheme.

Dan
Also works at the same Game company with Ryan in QA which he has children working with him for work experience, and every time he hears them say a characters name wrong, he dies a little. His love for cereal is still going strong and hopes that skill will make him determined to learn C++ and be a games programmer.

Liam
Ahh Liam...Or Barry as he is well known now. Barry, Barry, Barry...He went into business with a well known and close pal of his called Tyrone, and trying to create the Barry engine which one day will be the known engine to use. You may also see him doing business with Ranjit.

So in the words of the Narrator from Pokemon. Where will these young heroes be going now?

To Be continued...Hopefully

Let The Third Year Begin!

So today was the first day as being a third year and in a years time, us three Bloggers will be coming out as Game Developers (Gasp). We've had our ups, and downs, mainly downs but we never knew this blog would be still going (I know, i know, we always say it). You can still buy our book and we still do the casual appearance at your local book shop, you just got to look for us. But apart from doing that, we have a year now to make a game and present it. We even met our Design teacher again and he is totally opposite from how he was from the past two years. We think this good twin finally broke out and killed his evil twin, could happen.

Anyway, this is our last year, and no doubt strange, funny, but strange things will happen. So stay tuned.

Did he just say he didn't want us to do documents?!?!

The Game Makers - Seasons 5 & 6

Hi folks! Sorry we took so long doing this post. We left the lights on after we left last time and now the bulbs have gone and we've been having to work extra to pay off the electricity bill.

They say good things come in threes. Back to the Future, Toy Story, Busted, Community (well, that's now got a fourth season)... and us! There's 3 of us! But there's also 3 years of University for us and we're just beginning this final year. It seems like yesterday we were put together (although, originally Liam's place was taken with Albert). Actually, I lied. It seems like yesterday that I watched a weird film with my new flatmates and that's because it was yesterday.

Anyway, this is just to say we are Still Alive (Portal hasn't got a third game yet, but then again Valve can't count to three). And also we've dug through the archives and found three unreleased photos of us.

We can't even remember this day.

Still Here...

Hello there Viewers!

Sorry we have not posted for a while - we've been rather busy. Of course it seems like Blogger has too. I don't even know if this post is going to reach you guys; this interface is more confusing that the words that Simon (friend of the Bloggers) comes out with.

In our time away from blogging we've been making games. Corgi Rider, that Queen's Head thing, Gnome Patrol, Duck Nukem, Hat Tricks, Time Punch and Twin Paradox. That's 7 games that us 3 have all been working on in the past few months, 4 of them made in less than 16 hours collectively. But, of course, we must continue to make games! Our third year projects are now entering their opening phases. And what a thrill they are going to be...

The Bloggers be Jammin!

So last weekend we wandered in to the laboratory of madness in Manchester.

this adventure lead to the creation of 3 games only the bloggers and and a couple of mystery guest could be involved in.

First up is the Queen after a night on the town!

Corgi Riders

The Queen riding Monty under the table

The Queen Jumping about

The main menu created by the one and only Ryan


Here we have the news bulletin of the queen on her wild night

After encountering a wandering duck Liam thought it would be funny to brick and burn the duck which lead to the creation of Duck Nukem yes that's right hail to the quack baby!


Here we have the ducks that Liam decided to brick

The environment were created by the bloggers very own Ryan which were then deposited into unity by Dan

What first started out as a simple brick incident lead to the jammers getting a bit peckish and so was created the flame thrower so that we could get some crispy duck
