Wow! Seems like months since I last posted anything here.

Oh, wait. I HAS been months!

So, what have I been up to in the world of programming?

Well, I have begun work on some new games under the Krazy Pengwin Games label. I'll post some more news about them soon.
I have switched game development language to Monkey. This is also by Blitz Research, in fact, it can be seen as the little brother to BlitzMax, but it has a neat little trick that BlitzMax did not. Whereas BlitzMax was cross platform, allowing me to compile to Mac, Windows and Linux, Monkey goes even further. With a single source project, I can create games for, not only the desktop operating systems, but also for Android and iOS. Monkey also supports XNA, but I'm not too interested in publishing to that platform right now. So the upshot is, the games I am working on will also be available to mobile user, firstly Android, but hopefully iOS by the end of the year.
I'm still using RealStudio (now called Xojo) for in house tools, but not much in the way of commercial applications. Once my new web site is up and running, I will be making some, if not all, of these tools available for free download.
Well, that's it for now, so just watch this space for details of new games and stuff.
