In a stunning effort in explaining to a colleague the benefits of CSS, I inadvertadly removed the contents of my stylesheet, which I then suddenly found out was a big no-no in Wordpress as the stylesheet holds the meta-data for the theme.  As such I can no longer manage the theme through wordpress.  So until I can get home to manually upload my stylesheet to the server I have reverted back to the original style design, which is inheritely flawed.

Oh well, hopefully I’ll remember that little tid-bit for the future.

No games development news to speak of.  Aching to get back into it but struggling to find the time and motivation.  In the mean time, I suggest everyone who reads this to go annoy Pocket Watch Games into releasing Monaco.

EDIT: Fixed now, all is well.

Since it’s been a while, I thought it worth updating you on my current progress.  I’ve been working on a terrain system that can hopefully be used in a few of my upcoming projects, particularly To The Top.  Unfortunately, I’ve been sitting on an issue with rendering reflections in my water system.  Although I’ve tried to put it off, I’m not going anywhere fast while it’s still there.  However, once I’ve resolved that I will post a screen shot or two of the basic terrain system.  Then it’s on to object mesh rendering and animating which should be a bit of fun.

Some may have noticed the new Exploding Studios logo, big props to my brother for creating it, I think it looks great!

Here we have it, the first cut of Exploding Studios’ new website. Now it might still be a little rough around the edges, but we’ll be ironing out those little wrinkles over the coming weeks.

Now that we have the site at a semi-presentable state, it’s time to get started on what’s really important. We’ve just started out the primary stages of the development of our new XNA project, code named (for lack of a title) To The Top. As the project gets under way, look out for news and game development tidbits posted on the site. We’ll attempt to make an effort to keep the site updated as much as possible.

Stay tuned, we’ll be posting more information about To The Top soon…

Well, not really, I’ve been a bit busy with a couple of projects, so I havn’t had time to fix up the site. I have decided that I need a logo, so I’m in the process of organising that. Once I have that, I’ll be designing (or getting someone else to design) the site.
