London Game Career Fair '08

Hey dudes and dudettes.

It's that time of the year again! Last year I got to be at the London Game Career Fair, talking to several people from some awesome companies, i gave them business cards and portfolio CDs. First time I left the country alone and first time in London. This time I have better things to show. If you want to know more about the event, here's the official link.

How did I get the money to go there?

Well, let me show you what I was doing one year ago:

Which one am I?

That's right, you just know it from the bottom of the heart.

We have lift-off!


After some weird experiments involving html, xml and a weird ftp method, I bring you my website! It is basically an online portfolio that will be constantly updated.

I will try to improve it so it's a bit more functional, but right now it's enough. It only needs better art and that's what I am doing right now. I'll show it when I can.

Simple website, simple viewer


After researching I found the best solution for a simple website is to use something like Simpleviewer, a lightweight (17kb) flash gallery. It has its limits but there are ways to get over most of them. There's a free version and it works just fine.

Pros:
-Simple to use and customizable
-Good-looking transitions and loading animations
-Free

Cons:
-Doesn't take up more than 50 pictures per gallery
-You have to create the thumbnails manually

One of these days I'll have a gallery website made using it. So, for people who are looking for a quick way to have a gallery website online there you go. Hosts are an issue for another post, I still have to deal with that.

Now I have to keep on texturing. See ya!

Achievements


I was writing a post on how Achievements are just sand thrown in the eyes of the "hardcore gamers" but this image captures it in a way I wasn't being able to put it. Thanks internet!
