Colour Matching - In a Major Way

Posted by brutalexcess - October 11th, 2013


Where should I start? There is a lot to talk about in terms of the progress of Colour Matching and its foundations. They are coming along, assuming the code works. The foundations I have yet to test, by drawing a few bitmap images to the game screen.

First off, I just want to say that Colour Matching is going back to the original idea - that is using C# with XNA and then porting it over to MonoGame to be playable on Linux and Mac as well as Windows, so that's one thing I have considered, especially since my laptop screen broke and lost all the progress I had with the game previously in Stencyl.

Secondly, I would also like to refer you to my youtube channel which consists of a particular video in mind, this is a video going through the designs of the interfaces. You can check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he92KUbujZ8

Another thing that I want to talk about is my actual progress. I have returned to college and have been attending now for the past 2 weeks, so coursework is second to the top of my mind. The reason this is, is because I am also looking for a job, which is at the top of my mind. I have been recklessly going to websites, walking over to the center of my town almost every day to look in windows for job advertisements and have been applying to as many opportunities as I can, so progress of Colour Matching will be minimal while I am looking for a job.

Despite this, I should be getting my harmonica soon. I want to be able to play it again. The last time I played a harmonica was in front of 2,500 people at Colsten Hall in Bristol, that was when I was aged 10 or 11. That was just before I started my years in Senior school. I am considering playing the Harmonica using my condenser microphone and then, without any editing, uploading it onto here for your enjoyment. Honestly, in times like these, I want to look back at my past and I think of the harmonica and how that made me think the way I do now.

I think without the harmonica I would be looking at life from a different perspective, because the mood of a harmonica is not only unique, but in a spiritual sense I feel it is somewhat a connection to my own love and passion for unique sounds - particularly from the harmonica. Once I get back into it, I really want to share my knowledge and skills of the harmonica with you, so stay tuned!

With regards to Colour Matching, it will no longer have a Web-based solution, so sorry NG. However, it will still be developed just in a different environment to Flash, and I hope that you enjoy it when it is finally in its playable Alpha state. For now, I will continue looking for jobs until I am financially confident in pursuing that business career I really want.
