Its' been awhile since I've done one of these, I really haven't had time in the past ...year... (oh the joys of graduate school)

Anyways- I had the opportunity to work with some outstanding guys on Depth a stealth action game where sneaky divers with high-tech gadgets and weapons attempt to steal treasure from large and powerful sharks. I got to work as a UI programmer, mainly in Scaleform, AS2 and Unrealscript.

As a side project over this past summer, I started working for The Somme I managed to work on some cool parts there (still under NDA, so no details :( ) but I did work as UI dev again.

And now I'm working on Network; a great F2P first person shooter that I'm extremely excited for. The team seems knowledgeable and confident, and I'm pumped to be working on (you guessed it) more UI dev.

So there's a bit of a theme; UI developer. I'm thinking I may have found my niche, but I'll still do some gameplay dev when I get a chance :D

I've also gotten a bit into animation; nothing pretty, and I'll spare your eye by not posting anything, but

So a few days ago I tried out, and was accepted as a trial developer, for Project Stealth; an indie game that pits a team of two spies attempting to quickly and quietly complete an objective against a team of two mercenaries who lay traps and have heavy weapons to defeat them.

I'm super excited about this game; so many sleepless nights playing the Splinter Cell games... haha

Every model, skin, sound and bit of code is original, and the concept art alone is something to get excited about (check it out: indiedb.com/games/project-stealth/images ).

The Project Stealth dev team (obviously long before I arrived) was even featured in an article in PCGamer (UK) magazine; projectstealthgame.com/public/misc/projectstealthpcgameruk.jpg

Needless to say it's way too cool to be working with some people who have been doing this for a few years, I'm super stoked to see where this goes
