Two Year Hiatus

I know I haven't said anything for a long time now, and I was going to stay quiet until my hiatus was complete, but I think it's better if I told you about it.

To keep things short, I'll be serving a two year mission for my church. While I'm on the mission, I will not be able to work on any of my projects. This includes the video games that I'm currently developing.

It's a bit unfortunate, but this will give me time to think more about the things I'm getting myself into. I still really want to make a Guyver game for the community, but it's taking much longer than I thought. And when I'm finished with my mission, I would really like to get back to it. I'll probably re-announce the project due to how long its taking now.

I'm terribly sorry for this. I wish I could do something to make up for such a delay. Once I return from my hiatus, I hope I can make the best game that I can possibly do.

PlayStation Support on GameMaker

Taking a minute away from the Guyver game real quick, YoYo Games has announced at GDC 2014 that GameMaker: Studio will soon feature support for the current PlayStation consoles. This includes PS3, PS Vita, and the PS4. At their booth they showed off some games that were running on the platforms, which were made with GM. 

 Now, when I first got my hands on GM8, I saw that there was a game made for the PSP. So I just assumed that this development software could make games for other systems, outside of the PC. Thus, I began to work on a few projects for the PSP, that would soon be trashed because it was very unlikely that it would be published. 

 Imagine my excitement when Sony comes out and says that I can now develop for the Vita! Not just the Vita, but the PS3 and PS4! Suddenly, I'm seeing a lot of possibilities for future games. I could bring back some older projects or even create a brand new one and put it on the PlayStation! Right now they are still working on it, but dang, this is something I really wanted a long time ago. I would have to become a registered developer for Sony before I could get it. I'm still thinking about it, but I might just go ahead and do that. 

 Let me know what you think about this news. Are you excited for what might be brought to the table? 

 I'll make a new post about the Guyver game this weekend, detailing some new information and even some new screen shots. A few levels are near completion, so I'll show those off as well.
