Graduated

I’ve finally graduated from Champlain College and have a Bachelors of Science in Electronic Game and Interactive Development and an Associates of Science in Multimedia and Graphics Design.

So now begins to process of fully developing my portfolio. I am currently working on designing and implementing a concept document for an MMORPG called Battletech Online. I’ve always been a fan of the Battletech, and thus the Mechwarrior, universe and have always thought that the universe could be turned into an MMO. With MMO’s popularity soaring it is only natural that at some point in the future WizKids or Microsoft or Smith and Tinker (not sure who owns the rights to Battletech these days, buts its one of those three) that they would develop an MMO of some sort to take advantage of the intellectual property that is Battletech.

So far I’m just making a concept document because it is my understanding that that is the easiest form to show your work other than through a video or game demo.

[UPDATE] Smith and Tinker apparently own the rights to produce video games based on the Battletech universe as licensed to them by WizKids.

On the Road to Graduation

There are about five weeks left until graduation here at Champlain College. Between now and then I’ve been concentrating on getting my portfolio website up and running. I’ve been attempting to get a flash website up so that I can dynamically load images and other content through the use of an external .xml file so I can easily edit the website as I further develop my portfolio. Imperium Solaris, a space RTS that I designed, is in its second semester and coming along. Its a team project that six other people, including myself, are working on. I’m also working on a mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion with another student and its also coming along. Though it is far from done as we still need to learn how to script in the Construction Set so we can set up some quests.
