Finally, my time is starting to get stable. I'm used to traveling every week now, and both the projects I'm on is beginning to get over the "startup period". This means I will get a bit more time and be able to create some tutorials and make some updates to this blog again.

 

I also have used a lot of time writing a long article for a magazine about XNA Shader Programming. More info about this will be written later, but the article is finished and is in the publishing process. Quite cool! :)

 

Anyway, the book "3D Game Development with Microsoft Silverlight 3: Beginner's Guide"( using Balder ;) ), by Gastón C. Hillar, is published and can be found here. The book contains a lot of samples, witch can be downloaded from here.

I got a copy of the book myself and have read a lot of it and it's really great. A good read, clear, good examples and very easy to follow. If you are in to Silverlight and want to look at the Silverlight world from a 3D perspective, I would recommend this book.

As some of you know, Dark Codex Studio and Tumbleweed is creating the game myBeast for the popular iPhone platform. After a long process, Dark Codex Studio was one of the selected companies to get support from Norsk Filmfond, for the myBeast project. With a sum of 100.000 NOK, the development of myBeast will be a lot easier as Dark Codex is a new DA company.

I got my copy of Dragon Age Origins this other day, but are still waiting for the release on PS3..

 

So far, the game is really great. Back in the earlier days I played a lot of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter nights and I'm sure this game will be just as great. At least I'm hooked so far.. The graphics is awesome!!!

 

I'm playing as a Human Rouge, going for archery for a start, but guess I will try all the start stories to see what's the most fun and then move from there.

 

Anyway, I spent a few days in Finland earlier this week as I'm on a project for Nokia, and will be going back there tomorrow so it won't be much time for gaming.. Guess Dragon Age got to wait a few more days..
