So I have a few points left on my to-do list for things that we need to have established. As I've announced earlier, I've been piling up resources for a discussion page dedicated to foley artists (audio design) and there is still work to do on some of the categories that are already established. However, what is probably news to you, is that I am creating another category within which people can brainstorm and try out ideas, get to apply the things they've learned on actual projects. Obviously it's all just something we do for fun and I highly recommend that you don't post content there that you legitimately intend to turn into something for profit afterwards. View it more as a playground where you can work on random projects to get better at the various aspects of the development process and apply what you've gathered from the toolbox in practice.

But as it always is with me, there's more exams around the corner and I need to get past that speed-bump before I can pick up the pace and really implement this stuff. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going to listen to anything that relates to it and I'm more than happy to take your input into consideration if you have anything to add that you'd like to see take shape.

I do also have plans to actually create a section dedicated entirely to the study of actual artificial intelligence since I believe such knowledge to be incredibly important to anyone wanting to do programming to create something that feels alive (and not just use states and magic tricks to create "believable AI"), but it's a huge undertaking and so it's a bit further down the list.

Ding dong, that was it. Hope you're not melting under the sun, try not to get skin-cancer. Toodles!

I went through the different discussion sections today and I realized something very important was missing. While we do have a section for music, there's nothing there for the rest of the sound! Oh and in case you didn't know, a foley artist is simply a person who makes sound-effects. Well, "simply," since it can be quite a lot more challenging than it sounds. I'm not entirely sure how this will be formatted in terms of guidance, since it's a field that very much relies on you being able to use your imagination, but there's certainly going to be a lot of good video content, plus tips and tricks when it comes to editing. Of course, accompanied by my usual rants and examples that should hopefully make a, if not clear, then slightly clearer picture of what's up and down when you want to make your own sound effects.

So I've been giving it some thought and realized that we need a "disection table" on our forums, where we pick apart and analyze games. Either together - which is the reason I'm making a forum for it - or you can utilize it a bit like a bulletin-board and run down some reviews of a couple of titles to sort of fine tune your journalism skills.

Just rounded off a section on the UDK in programming and that entire compartment is really starting to come together now. Considering covering CryEngine 3 as well, but I have mixed feelings about it due to the problems and non-responsiveness of CryTek in regards to their indie licensing (if you plan on going commercial on a non-indie license, you need to cough up with a whopping 1.2 million dollars).

We have a new logo that I feel is aptly representative of the current state of this group. To do list:
- Create categories for the archive
- Fill in more stuff in programming
- More stuff, stuff in general
- Bulletpoints.
