I am at the Flash On The Beach conference in Brighton, and right now at the “Game Development” workshop, the morning started with some overall game design followed whit some graphics, now the graphic part was not really me, but now we are doing the coding for the game :-) it is a bit basic bow man type of game.
My colleague Barklund has just blogged about our project “DexGames” :-)
True to that, and I am really looking forward to “Dex Empire” the only thing that I can add to the description is “World domination” ;-)
