Dust: Part 10

The Start Previous Part Rick got a bit more sleep, but not much. He was just too excited. Keegan was, like, a superhero! He was going to need an outfit and some catch phrases and some crimes to fight and some signature moves and… Did Keegan know any fighting moves? Rick decided he would have […]

Dust: Part 9

The Start Previous Part “So now what are you going to do?” Keegan asked as Rick finished setting up his dad’s old microscope. “I need to take a blood sample.” replied Rick. “How are you going to do that? What are you going to do with it?” “Needle, and I’m gonna look at it under […]

Dust: Part 8

The Start Previous Part Keegan awoke at a little after midnight. Any sickness he had earlier had subsided, and due to the time he went to bed he was unable to go back to sleep. Thus he decided to play some games and browse the internet for a while. It was almost 4 and he […]

Dust: Part 7

The Start Previous Part Rick knew he shouldn’t be checking over his shoulder for government agents every five seconds but he couldn’t help it. I’m, like, a fugitive! He thought. He looked over his shoulder again. Gaaa! This is it… Wait no, that’s just the mailman. He also knew he was probably blowing the situation […]

Dust: Part 6

The Start Previous Part For a moment he just stood there, staring blankly into space. “What was I just doing?” He asked himself upon snapping to, and for a few seconds he tried in vain to produce an answer. “Hold on…” Much to his befuddlement, he once again found himself in the woods behind his […]

Dust: Part 5

The Start Previous Part “I’ll meet you on the roof.” Rick told his friend as he entered the bathroom to care for his hand. “Alright, don’t take too long.” Keegan replied. The flat, empty roof greeted him with a strong, chilly breeze. “Whoof, I almost need a jacket. Heh, good thing I don’t have a […]

Dust: Part 4

The Start Previous Part Rick had just been telling his coworker Keegan about the theories about the quarantine zone around their workplace when he noticed that Keegan was doing his spacing out thing again. “Earth to Keegan, you listening?” Rick teased, and proceeded to give his friend a good slap on the back. Much to […]

Dust: Part 3

The Start Previous Part The building wasn’t far, so they set out on foot. For the first couple blocks Rick recited some theories about the accident. There was something about a UFO crash in transit to a top-secret government facility, something about a large illegal drug shipment that spilled all over and intoxicated a few […]

Dust: Part 2

The Start Previous Part ”Hey man, you home? Where’s your bike?” Rick inquired as he knocked briefly and opened the door. “Huh? Isn’t it out there?” Keegan always kept his bike in the shared garage area of the apartment building, as he didn’t really have anywhere else to keep it. “Nope, no bikes.” “Did I […]

NVIDIA Shield Controller on Linux

I got an NVIDIA Shield Controller with my Shield Tablet a while back. I’ve used it some on both the tablet itself and via USB on Windows, but it doesn’t work out of the box on Linux and until recently I didn’t care because my wireless 360 controllers worked just fine. However, I left the 360 […]

Dust: Part 1

Previous Part It was rather surprising, waking up refreshed even after how late that sick stomach kept him the night before. Wait… There is altogether too much sunlight… “Crap!” Keegan exclaimed. “11:38?!? I never sleep in!” Rushing to the phone to try explaining his situation to his boss, he noticed there was a message. “I […]

Dust: Part 0

For a moment he just stood there, staring blankly into space. “What was I just doing?” He asked himself upon snapping to, and for a few seconds he tried in vain to produce an answer. “Keegan, you’re getting so absent minded.” He liked to voice his thoughts. Especially here, in the woods where he often […]

General Update

So, I haven’t posted here in a while, and I feel really bad about that. Recently I have been preparing to go to a different college to study Game Art and Design, which I leave for in 3 weeks. (Previously I had been taking a few generals at a local community college.) I’m sure that […]

Photon Mechanics #1

With the Unreal Engine 4 version of Photon I have made some fundamental changes to the gameplay. This is still early work in progress stuff and I’m still not completely sure where I’m going with this game yet, so some constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. So without further ado here are some of the main gameplay changes in the […]

The History of Photon

On Saturday I announced that I have started to work on Photon, an old game concept of mine, once again. I’ll talk more about the new version in another post, for now I will, in a couple paragraphs, tell the tale of what I have done with the concept in the past for anyone who may be interested. […]
