I'm back!
Like I mentioned a week ago on Twitter, I had a big week at work. 9 days in a row, 12 hours a day.
But now I'm back, so I can code Hollywoood Wars. Also, I will announce something cool in the following days...
Not stuck anymore!
OoOoOoOohhh!
I'm not "stuck" anymore. Progression can now continue!
XCOM
Have you guys took a look at upcoming masterpiece, XCOM?

WoW!
I'm stuck!
For the moment, a major feature is getting me STUCK in the dev... Frustrating. I think I will move on and work on the database editor, for the moment.
A new feature.
It's nothing big, but I added "Nationality" feature in the game. That will have a certain impact on popularity and gross.
Ryland's cult!
I receive a small but good support from Adam Ryland's cult (Grey Dog Software's forums). It's much appreciated!
p.s: TEW2010 is such a good game!
Some more...
Okay, I will give more information about the game so you can be interested in it.
As you already know, it is a simulation / managing game. (Not a Tycoon)
The name is "Hollywood Wars". By now you should already know that it is related to the film making business. I know you may think of "Hollywood Mogul" but you should not. Okay, there will be similarities, off course, but are Battlefield and Call Of Duty the same game? Not! Anyways Hollywood Mogul had something missing... Called the "fun-factor". And it was damn ugly as well.
To me, the best indie managing game is Adam Ryland's "TEW2010". So I must admit that I looked a little bit at it while designing Hollywood Wars.
If you have any questions or suggestions, I would really love to read them!
What's the game?
Some people are asking me what is the game I am developing. Well, like I'm not far enough in the development, I would prefer to not tell much about it.
For what I'm allowing myself to say... It's a simulation / managing / business game. Not a "Tycoon" game. It's the game I wanted to play for years now.
More soon.
edit : I'm testing the "Let people reply" option on this one.
2 Rockstars and 1 Big Mac!
Oh, I've been coding all night long. Thanks to my 2 Rockstar energy drinks and my Big mac! Huge progress have been made tonight. :D
DAMN!
I'm so stuck! I have a major problem in the development of my game. I will get over it... One day, lol.
Java?
Like I was tweeted earlier today, I was looking to learn a another coding language. I wanted something that is mostly games oriented. Flash? Java? Well, I think I'll go with Java. It look's good and powerful. I must admit that I don't know much about it.
Death to Spies = Hitman?
I was looking at some screenshots of "Ghost of Moscow: Death to Spies", the new one in the "Death to Spies" series. And seriously, it look pretty much like "Hitman: Blood Money". Will it be as good? I need the demo.
Who's FRAGz?
I just wanted to introduce me properly to you, potential readers.
I'm known as FRAGz but my real name is Tommy, I'm a 22 years old dude. I live in the "Hollywood of video games" a.k.a Montreal, QC, Canada. (So I'm a french Canadian, that explain why I may not have perfect English writing skills.)
Why do I use "FRAGz" as my username? I started as "DaStinger", back in 2000, because of the American wrestler "Sting". I was a huge fan. Then I started realising that this username was petty much used so I started looking at a new one and I finally chose "Fragger". I know it's ugly, but hey, I was only 11 years old. Then later, everyone was calling me "Frag" so I cut off the last part of the name to make "FRAG". I added the "z" when 1337 speak was popular. I was about 16-17 years old, and adding a "z" to your username was cool at the time.
What are you doing of your life? For the moment, I'm a student in Cinema as a director. I work in a gas station and a CD store. I'm also trying to break into the video games business. I would enjoy to run a game studio, in fact I'm about to try to start one but this is an expensive project. I'm actually developing a small game and I will probably write about it soon.
What games am I playing? I'm pretty much of a FPS player. I started on "Rainbow Six Rogue Spear: Black Thorn" in 2000. Then I started to play Delta Force 2. It was a lot of fun at the time but hackers really f*cked it up at some point. Then Delta Force: Black Hawk Down has been released. It was THE FPS. Graphics were damn good. And for the first time I joined a clan. The KZW (Killing Zone Warriors), a French team that still alive today. And then... Call Of Duty. Yes, that's where I transformed myself into a hardcore gamer. I was playing way too much. After joining some clans, I created my first one. Called RnT (ROUGH n' TOUGH). We was a mediocre clan with not much members, shitty website, 20 slots Teamspeak 2 server and one 12 slots private game server. The clan died about a month before Call Of Duty 2 came out. I've then created a new clan, called QSF (Quebec's Special Forces). That clan was a huge success. At the end, we were more than 50 active players from 16 to 70 years old (yes, we had a 70 years old member, he was the father of a 36 years old member and he was amazingly unskilled), we had the COD2 public server ranked #1 in Canada, #3 in North America, Top 10 World. It was a 30 slots sponsorised by Brainstorm Network. They were also sponsoring our website, 100 slots Teamspeak server, another 20 slots COD2 public server (a moded server) and a 12 slots private server (for scrims, leagues and practices). I really enjoyed the QSF. But every good things must end. Since the QSF, I played Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call Of Duty 4, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Call Of Duty: World At War, Call Of Duty: Black Ops, Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 mostly as a lone-wolf or as 5 members team winning Lan Parties and Leagues tournament. (Always with stupid names like "Team SeXy" or the most recent one, "Fap! Fap! Fap!"). I will buy Battlefield 3, the next Call Of Duty and Red Orchestra 2 for sure.
Look it's 5 a.m.! So that's all for the moment. :D

I'm a huge fan of Manchester Orchestra. I think that Andy Hull is a vistuoso, a genius, a man of excellence. I just really love this song he posted on his Tumblr.
I'm on Tumblr!
Hello world!
Finally, I'm on Tumblr. And it was about time, I was feeling like the only one around to not use it. As far as I am, I like it!
For the ones who are still reading, this blog is gonna be about me, my way to the video game business, my development and some interesting stuff.
I should be writing more about me in the next post. (And that's gonna be so freakin' interesting that I will probably be your Internet hero for the couple next hours.)
