New WordPress Theme

I’ve been developing a new version of my wordpress theme for quite a while now and finally have it to a point that I like and have installed it on my site (you’re looking at it right now). There are a few artists using the theme already, and I worked with a design friend to [...]

Taking the pain out of game development

Very cool!  Unity now adds Flash export to the platforms it will support. This is great news for Unity developers and should allow the production of gpu-driven Flash games.  Just having the ability to code in C# and deploy to Flash is going to be super-cool!
