Digging My Hands Into Game Development

I've been quite busy since my last entry here. I've finally made the push to really get into game design and development. I'm still very new to this however, being that I only started doing this about two weeks ago. I'm currently working on a scrolling shooter game, which is meant to be fun, but challenging. The longer you play, the more challenge the game brings.

I've been reading and watching so many tutorials, and I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far. The current name of the game is "1945: Endless Skyfight" and at this moment, the third beta is available online. I had plenty of kinks to work out of some of the enemies, and the planes. The fourth beta will be a huge improvement on the third. If I knew flash coding, then I'd just upload it here, but I'm not that good just yet, hopefully though, it won't take me too much longer. I've got plans for a few game ideas I have, and I know that I'm going to need artists, spriters, and coders in the future, but for now, I want to do most of the work alone.

If anyone plays beta 3, let me know what you think so I can inform you of beta 4 when I upload it.

I've also been writing articles dealing with the game industry more directly. I'll link them here for if anyone feels like reading them.
