Skip to the other bold bit if you're an impatient turd.

Well, now that I have ZERO free time again (thanks to a huge quantity of important exams, and hence a huge quantity of important revision), I have officially chosen the moment to break my lengthy break from flash and have started work on both a chunky new flash game and a smaller side project.

The bigger of the two projects is going to be a platform game with , but this is in very early stages (at my end of things at least), and we're both already taking a short break from it. Once my exams are over with though, I'm thinking that I'll start plowing through it pretty quickly, especially now that I'm getting more used to Actionscript 3 =]

The side-project is just a crappy little defence game I decided to make while I'm taking a break from the more headachish project. Now I know that to anyone who knows me, the idea of me making a flash defence game probably sounds somewhat akin to the pope pissing on the shroud of turin, but I'm only really doing it to familiarise myself more with all of the new stuff in Actionscript 3, and a lot of the stuff i never used in Actionscript 2 that might come in handy now (makes sense to do so before starting a big project). I didn't just pluck the idea out of thin air though; Greg's using his break from the big project to make a defence game too, so I suggested that we both make one and have a contest XD

Anyway, I'm not really very far with it at all yet, but I got bored, so I'm going to post a couple of pictures. I won't explain them, but they might give a hint to the lame gimmick that this particular crappy defence game is going to be based around.

That won't look even vaguely like what the final game will look like, it's just what I've been playing around with so far. With a bit of luck, I might actually not forget that this exists in two days time and never touch it again. I get the feeling that one of the many many silly side projects I start might finally see the light of day =]

Well, I should probably run off to bed now. I really do have an obscene quantity of revision to get done in the next few days =<

Just before I go though, I demand that you all go here:

She hasn't got a huge amount up yet cause she only joined today, but I've seen enough of her art to know that she's a total badass, so keep an eye on her
