Jordon McClain is the Founder and CEO of a small indie game company called Steel Cyclone Studios. While working full-time to support himself, Jordon is a self-taught Game Artist, Designer and Developer in his spare time. Jordon is creating several video games built upon his in-house engine known as the Cyclone Game Engine. The Cyclone Game Engine is a 2D/ 3D game engine built upon MonoGame and the XNA Framework to help make it easier and save time creating games. The game engine is not perfect by any means. The game engine is still in its infancy stages of development which is why its not available yet to the community. The Cyclone Game Engine is primarily built to serve the needs of Steel Cyclone Studios' game projects. Once it is further developed, Jordon plans on releasing it. Jordon's ultimate aim is to make it into the video game industry and join the greats of game designers. In the meantime, Jordon is trying to hone his skills and learn as much as possible.

3D Buzz was a company dedicated to providing the world with quality technical education over 3D animation, programming, game design, and much more. As a parting gift due to the death from cancer of one of the principal partners, Jason Busby, 3D Buzz has made all of their courses available for FREE.

Jdawgg25 - - 158 comments @ FX Composer

FX Composer is no longer in active development and will not receive any further updates. Version 2.5 is the final release of this product. I mainly use it for my XNA and MonoGame projects. FX Composer (similar to ATI's RenderMonkey) is completely free. It provides a visual development environment for creating shaders. You can use these shaders in XNA, but the transfer is not automatic. In XNA, you'll need to set the program constants that are used by your shaders. And add code to handle things like rendering multiple passes or rendering to textures and using those textures for something else. You'll basically need to write your XNA program to behave like composer. You can also refer to NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition for your shader debugging/profiling/authoring needs: Developer.nvidia.com

Hello Brian, thank you for messaging me. First I'd like to say my apologies for replying back so late. At the moment, Steel Cyclone Studios is not looking for voiceover work; however we will need help with it once our game projects are further complete. Once my game reaches completion, I will be looking for people to help with voiceovers. I will save you in Steel Cyclone Studios' Contacts. Again, thank you and hopefully we can work together in the near future.

Jordon

The date was not updated in the following screenshot. The character marine model in this screenshot above was created by Carlos Augusto of Floatbox Studios. It was originally used for a demo at the SBGames 2007 Independent Games Festival under the XNA category and contributed to coming in third place. It was used for the book published in 2008 "Beginning XNA 2.0 Game Programming". This screenshot is for demonstration purposes to illustrate armor customization with models I created that are attached to the character. A glow effect was added to the blue areas of the armor.
