Wow what a week for Blue Castle Games!

Recently Capcom invited numerous people of the press to join them in a sneak peek of some of their upcoming games in beautiful Monaco! They all were treated to an all expenses paid stay at the wonderful Monte Carlo Bay Resort. Not too shabby!

Have a look at some of the links below and be sure to read the threads of the excited gamers eagerly awaiting the game's release.

Great week!

The studio has been hard at work getting things done and the projects are looking fantastic! I am extremely impressed by the sheer amount of work done by these very passionate professionals.
I can’t wait for the rest of the world to see this stuff. Unfortunately they are going to have to for now…but the wait will be worth it. Trust me.

BCG website upgrades are starting and we are busy shooting new video content to upload. This is going to take some time but it’ll be a lot of fun to do.

Keep an eye on it here: http://www.bluecastlegames.com/

It’s getting close to the end of our current Co-op work terms, less than 2 weeks to go. These students are phenomenal and I can say with ease that the entire studio appreciates each and every one of them and we were happy to have them as members of the team. Thanks again Skyler, Akshay, Kamil, Bronson, Ryan, and Luke – you guys rock!

As far as personal stuff going on, my wife and I are picking up a 2009 Mazda 3 GT tomorrow morning. I never thought of purchasing a Mazda before – until I sat in one. Very nice car!
Zoom zoom.

The Vancouver Canucks are in the playoffs and the city is experiencing hockey fever again. Cars with Canuck flags, and tons of people sporting their favorite team jerseys can be seen everywhere. It truly is a cool sight to see. The weather has been great the last week and more and more people are going outside to take advantage of it.

I am in complete BBQ mode now!! Mmmmm.

First Crack

Hello to Everyone!

This is my first crack at getting a blog up and running. I have been thinking about this for quite some time and have now broken free from my lackadaisacal chains to finally put this in motion.

I have lots to share about the games industry and I also want to help great talented peeps find homes within the industry as much as I can through my numerous contacts.

I also will take the time to be selfish on my blog too. That's right. I plan on putting up stuff regarding my personal life here too, which will of course be accompanied by photos and video when necessary.

So here we go! Hopefully some of the content can prove useful to others...
