-I am now working on several projects but i dont want to run off and squeel about a few of them because i honestly dont know their current status. But i can tell you what i know, or am at least convinced that are solid.
RealFaction's show, The Dish Out , is going to have a segment on it where I, Captain Carrion will interview underground bands! YaaaaaY so cool right? We are actually having problems getting camera equipment for me to use though so if you know anyone in the Central Valley who would be willing to maybe lend some camera gear out please shoot me a message.

-Ive been getting alot of Private Messages from programmers interested in making a game with me, and im more than humbled that people actually want to work with me, i am just very exclusive with my projects at the time.

-Although, i have been in the process of writing/designing a game. And im just about ready to start working on it, so any programmers or people that know programmers, that would be intersted in working on a game with me please send me a message and add me on skype: zombie-eskimo.

The game is going to be a side scrolling exploration game with platforming and puzzle solving elements. I would like someone with enough experience, but i am also more than willing to work with programmers in the learning process as well. So send me a example of your work, and ill talk to you more once we are through that.

-Im reading a book about Writing and Designing for Video Games. And as a person that does not learn well from reading i have found myself taking alot more notes than i originally anticipated. So something im going to be doing is writing a weekly C Blog over on Destructoid.com on what i give and take from the book. I will update you guys on that once i get the wheels rolling on finishing these notes.

That's all i have for now, ill be pooping out another news post once i get some more of this stuff organized.

Here's some of my recent art work, please feel welcome to leave comments and tell me what you think:
Press B to Exit. A 4 colored palette experiment.
In the bark. Mostly just me dicking around with water and black.

Ill have some big news coming up once i get different shit situated. For now keep calm, and carrion.

Sounds awesome. I'd love to play a game with your asthetic/design in it. It's gonna be something really creative and fun, I know it. Game design is something I've thought about, but never really knew how to go about it...maybe I'll learn flash or work on an indie project or something--if it's really something I want to do, anyway.

Do it man! Designing games is really fun even if its just a hobby. Just make sure you have your head in the game for it or else you'll end up like me!

What's the book you mentioned?

The Ultimate Guide to Video Game Writing And Design.
If you already know a bit about game development its not going to be very hard hitting but it does provide some useful analyzations that i think alot of aspiring developers over look. It also has a good list of design terminology and examples on how to make writing/design documents as well as ways to get jobs in the industry.

You fucked up the links to your art lol
