Let the term commence.

Wow, so we have been back for almost two full weeks already and it is going crazy!

Right now I am focusing mainly on one of our new modules, Applied Games Development, henceforth known as AGD. I am part of a team of four programmers and five artists and our task is to create a racing game using the Gamebryo engine. Which is pretty awesome. To give you a brief idea about what the game is aiming to be, think racing around in Borderlands buggies and death race (we are original, honest :P).

My personal task for the time being is to try and figure out tyre physics, which to be honest scares the bejesus out of me as I have never really attempted anything that sounds as intimidating as this does. After spending a day or two reading around the subject, I feel like I am ready to try and implement a basic physics module to our game and see how that works out, failing that it is back to the drawing board!
