Today I have started to explore the unreal engine and have some tutorials on how to use it. I like the idea of creating an environment I know quite well in 3D and then using the Unreal to navigate and interact with this environment. I would like to do some form of 3d work for my final major project possibly.. Although I quite like the idea of using flash again. I need to think about this more extensively.

An animation possibly? I'm really quite undecided as of now. I intend to update this blog more regularly from this point I believe it could prove a useful tool for developing any ideas for project that may come about and is an excellent place for pooling research. As of last week I am without a computer at home, hopefully I will have one next week which should

I would like to come out of this current unit with some knowledge of programming. I have started looking into using visual basic and intend to complete a few tutorials over the next few days. Hopefully by the end I should gain skills that would enable me to make a game level as outlined by Microsofts Imagine '08 brief. Whether of not I will be able to achieve this in the time frame which is currently unknown to me is yet to be discovered. I fear I may be being a bit ambitious, as I have very little knowledge of coding other than that involved in Flash and the construction of a website. Theres no harm in attempting to do this however and it in turn could turn into something I could use in my Final Major Project.
Currently I a, without a computer at home, hopefully this will be rectified next week so I can start delving deep into the world of visual basic and beyond. Hopefully the college machines will have a copy installed soon which will of course be a great help.

I have not been playing many games in recent months, my games log is suffering as a result this is something I need to sort out. It could prove useful inspiration wise of course.
