Today I woke up to the sound of thunder and rain and instantly knew that water was probably leaking in somewhere around the house. Came downstairs and saw that I was right :) What a nice way to start the day. Electricity kept cutting out and coming back on at 5 second intervals, so I [...]
Read moreLatest WordPress update broke my theme. Just my luck. I was trying to modify this page when all of a sudden all my posts disappeared. Took me two hours to fix it all. I have integrated the new better lamp into the animation. Below is a before and after image. I’ve also spent some time [...]
Read moreStill no word from the fax guys. Today I looked at my credit card statements and saw that there have been no withdrawals. So that’s maybe why they don’t answer my emails. I have no idea actually. When stuff like this happens I really wish that every company used Paypal as a payment processor. I [...]
Read moreI woke up at 4pm :) Pretty early to start the day. I was out of food so I started cooking. Ate. Played some Starcraft 2, which I suck at BTW. Then started working. I have finished modifying the online store (Http://store.vivec3d.com). It looks ok. Not great, but not so lousy that people will get [...]
Read moreToday was another exhausting day. The SSL setup is done, so is the store. Most of the day was spent on two things. The first was software research. I’m looking at some middleware solutions for games. Most software and gaming companies use middleware solutions rather than reinventing the wheel. There‘s quite a lot of middleware [...]
Read moreStill haven’t heard from my web host about the SSL, which makes me think that they forwarded my support ticket to billing, which only works on weekdays. I’m also waiting to hear from the fax guys about my fax number. I’m going to be so cool with my fax number; chicks dig guys with fax [...]
Read moreI’ve spent the better part of the day organizing both my real and my virtual desktop. My real life desktop had 6 coffee cups, 3 large plates and a whole lot of paper on it. When I’m working on a project I don’t usually spend time cleaning and organizing. This, unfortunately, goes for personal hygiene [...]
Read moreWow. I slept for 13 hours straight. I had the weirdest dream about a giant piranha landing in a spaceship next to me and pursuing me while I tried to escape. In the end it caught up with me, gave my hand a little bite then told me that I had high blood sugar and [...]
Read moreI’m extremely tired. I’ve spent at least 12 hours on the website today. Not having programmed in php for 5 years, plus the fact that I never really learned css in the first place, made it very difficult to customize WordPress, which this site is based on. I also spent a considerable amount of time [...]
Read moreToday I spent a considerable amount of time getting frightened by a storm. It was as if the house was in the eye of the storm. Hearing growling thunder every other minute can become very distracting when you’re trying to code. This house has only recently been built, so this is its first true winter. [...]
Read moreI honestly don’t know what I did today. Mostly errands I guess.
Read moreWell, today I haven’t been as productive as I wanted to be. Running errands has been constantly distracting me from my work. And it always takes me a while to focus my attention back on the work again. I’ve been working on feature animations today; the ones you see at the top of each page. [...]
Read moreToday was a productive day. I finished the Chapter I logo sections of the trailer for both Vivec Entertainment and Shadow of a Soul. I like both of them but I’ll probably modify the Vivec Entertainment logo a little bit more when I have the time. I’m very pleased with the Chapter I logo. I’ve [...]
Read moreToday’s task was to figure out a way of creating a 3d logo for Shadow of a Soul. The current trailer only has a text showing the name of the game. I’ve decided that I need something flashier and more gothic-looking. But I can’t figure out how to do it. I thought about having an [...]
Read moreCouldn’t help myself. I signed up to a bunch of forums again. Some of them have no link posting policies. By the time I get to posting about my game on forums I probably won’t remember which ones allow you to post links and which ones don’t. I’ll more than likely be banned from a [...]
Read moreStarted the day with some business emails. Hope it turns out to be ok on that front and I can give some good news, technology wise. Other than that, it’s been a long day of forum registration. I’m trying to find some game forums to get the word out. After today, I think I’ll be [...]
Read moreContinuing where I left off, I’m signing up to forums where I’ll post in the future. I’m also revising the final draft of the press release. For the press release to be effective, I’ll need to work on the press section of the website because that’s where the editor’s going to look after reading the [...]
Read moreThese days I’m working on promoting the game. I’ll be asking people in forums to check out the website and trailer. Hopefully the response will be positive. Frankly, I have no idea what’ll happen. I’m also working on changing some stuff that I don’t like in the trailer. Unfortunately, that’ll probably have to be in [...]
Read moreHello folks, my name is Ferzan Kanat Aygen. I would leave if I were you because I’m a very boring person. Here’s the bullet-point version of my biography. *Born: 08/16/82 in Istanbul Turkey * Had a nice childhood with great parents *Always had at least 4-5 pets in the house while growing up. As a [...]
