The Troublemaking Terrier

Hey guys! I have been hammering away at writing my book series "Prissy Little Chloe" these past few weeks, well months - actually technically years, because they're based on my journal entries from when I was six. Anyway, I have two books I'm releasing this weekend "Prissy Little Chloe" original and "Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year".

The series are funny little cartoon novels about my blonde Yorkie Chloe and all the trouble she gets herself into! Chloe always wants to be the centre of attention; she makes up her own rules everyday - gets herself into tons of trouble running through the neighborhood - setting me on wild goose chase, every single day, without fail. She slips through the gate in the yard or runs through the door when she gets the chance and then runs across the street into peoples' backyard, homes ... or into their car.

This book in the series - Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year - centers how I ended up with a little troublemaker for Christmas, after four years of begging for a puppy - and her evolution from nice to naughty over the course of a few days.

I'm also releasing a FREE audiobook to follow along with this book that will be uploaded tonight, at this link: http://jaden28.wix.com/plcaudiobookfree

Level Design in God of War (Part 1)

Becoming the God of War God of War is one of the most-critically acclaimed franchises to ever hit the Playstation market. In this pipeline deconstruction, I will refer to elements of the series as a whole. Dominus the main character in concept, needed to be summed up in a single word -- wrath . Covered in the ash of his wife and child, the character is a demigod who seeks revenge on the gods who betrayed him. Once the artists stripped away his armor and shield, the character’s true raw, animalistic side was exposed. Tall with upper-body musculature, covered in ashes and hunched over with his signature Blades of Chaos, Dominus was a force to be reckoned with. Dominus set the stage for the today’s Playstation mascot -- Kratos. Level Design Mood and exploration is a staple part of level design in God of War . Areas that are more open are also relatively barren; while many objects are placed around smaller areas like rooms. I think this encourages the player’s sense o...

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...

The assignment is an effort to repel North Korean forces from advancing into South Korea. They mission is a success, but at the cost of 6000 marines’ lives, including Will’s own from an explosion that severed Mitchell’s left arm.

After killing its leader Hades, it turns out the Atlas CEO Irons’ intentions were corrupt all along and he declares war on all world governments. Instead of the peace and security that was Atlas’ illusory purpose, Irons stands for total domination, as the only standing political power. Atlas later develops Manticore, a biological age...
