What's the Hold Up, Yo? [Time is Short]

Post updated 2009-06-12T03:37:47Z

I have mentioned before my intent to post my Black Jack WPF implementation for public use and fun, to showcase object-oriented concepts and full use of animations/sounds/timelines in WPF. Really it's to show how even in .NET you can create games, if you put your mind to it. It is complete in the limited sense of the word, meaning that it runs fine and plays fine but is missing some AI logic.

When I started to teach myself .NET and programming, I think that I did a good job. I've been using .NET since 1.0 and have loved it ever since, with more powerful enhancements regularly released.

New Version of Intrepid Studios En Route [Stay Tuned]

Post updated 2010-04-02T22:59:09Z

We are our own worst critics and I am no exception to that. Since I last released this initial version of Intrepid Studios a year or two ago, I've always been unhappy with a few parts of the site and some of the design in general. This last week, I've been motivated to change that and fix things around here.

Over the past months, I have gotten some feedback on some of my projects that there are bugs, feature requests, etc. etc. and while I am a busy person, some of it is that I am just lazy :)
