About Hunter

Hunter has been working in the computing industry since 1993 (a hobbyist/enthusiast since ~1980) and specifically on software since 1998. He was classically trained in the art and science of software development and graduated with honors (2003) and went to work in the defense industry building visualization software. CodeWorx Studios was formed in 2008 initially working on real time GIS empowered visualization software as sub to the prime contract (his former employer, none of that will be discussed here.) That work does continue, but the CodeWorx Studios primary effort moving forward has transitioned into making games (his true passion all along). He officially started that quest of game making as an independent game developer July of 2011. A self professed jack of all trades, near mastery of some. He considers himself rather platform agnostic, but has preferences based on experience tempered by the task of the moment's requirements, and thinks people who talk about themselves in the third person to be silly...

An interesting indie game dev blog (Marc-André) to follow?

I stumbled onto a blog by Marc-André at http://exludis.tumblr.com/

He had some great media and thoughts and ideas I believe are worth spreading:

 

His post on obsession and passion (the original item that drew me to his blog in the first place) was thought provoking: http://exludis.tumblr.com/post/23227103235/from-passion-to-obsession

and the two games he found inspiring I found intriging as well: http://exludis.tumblr.com/post/22778740998/two-inspirations

Ira Glass on Storytelling [but this applies to any creative venture]: http://vimeo.com/24715531

 

Jesse Shell on information flow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y92-vkyHKbY

 

That leaves very little else not linked that he has shared on game development... Just go check em out and form your own opinion... 

I post in the spirit of sharing something I found interesting, but I really don't think I am will add anything to the overall discussion... at this point in time...

Steve Jackson's Kickstarter is almost off the charts!

I really want to see this Steve Jackson kickstarter succeed. It already has, BUT it was so successful they are going to REDO CarWars! One of my all time favorite tabletop games. I spent WAY to much time playing that when I was in high school... I am certain it is why my grades were lower than they could have been!  There is 22 hours left people. Do not hesitate to help them take top position for a board game ever! I am very excited to see him succeed.
