It's all fun and games...

It's been quite the casual week in most regards. After still getting over the hype of what happened at E3 and looking more into next gen games/consoles it somewhat slowed my learning process - But more on that after.

I've been very interested in the Project Spark that got announced by Microsoft. This is a game/program that I've always wanted and it seems to create a simple learning curve that holds little to no limitations on the creators imagination - Though most companies often over sell their games (Here's looking at you Fable). The more I've seen of this project the more ideas i've had for several different mechanics and game ideas that i want to create, But as i have to wait til its launch i have gone to the old methods of jotting them down in a notebook for now.

On to business. This week i faced a decision, to learn Unity 3D or UDK for design aspects. Ideally i want to do more research into them both on which is better than the other and for what merits - Mostly though it's a tough choice as i don't know what we will be learning at university next year as several rumors are going around saying X over Y.

Learning both would be advantageous and something i should strive to do. I often see people that seem to have countless ambition and skills in the design aspect of things already and it often deters me from wanting to create anything as i feel i'm far behind already and struggle to get started.

I've been toying around with both programs for the past few days as i find experimenting often the easiest way to learn/pick up things but often times programs can be quite daunting for new people.

I will look more into and make my decision by the end of the week hopefully and can finally start getting my ideas out there...

...What took so long? Right?!
