I was Discharged from hospital 2 days ago and seem to be doing well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/unorthodoxgamestudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-215 aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"me\" src=\"http:\/\/unorthodoxgamestudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/me-707x1024.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unorthodoxgamestudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/me-707x1024.jpg 707w, https:\/\/unorthodoxgamestudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/me-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/unorthodoxgamestudios.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/me.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Naturally having been ill so long I&#8217;ve fell quite far behind with uni work and everything I&#8217;ve been working on has gone to pot.<\/p>\n<p>Just in case anyone&#8217;s interested as far as my engine is concerned I actually started work on a new Engine &#8220;Nightmare Engine&#8221; Back towards the beginning of this academic year the pure focus of the engine was simplicity more than anything. I was focusing primarily on making all the different modules of the engine independent with next to no coupling to keep the project simple. The irony being is\u00a0potentially\u00a0this engine although far simpler than my previous engine, is more powerful, there&#8217;s less coupling and is far easier to maintain and add new features. Obviously having being ill I\u00a0haven&#8217;t\u00a0really worked on in for a while but nether the less it has a nice set of functionality which I plan to improve upon over the next few years. I had planned to do a lot more by now but due to illness I have\u00a0 been unable. At some point either on here or on its own\u00a0separate\u00a0website I&#8217;ll be putting up some information about my engine and maybe a few demo applications to check out.<\/p>\n<p>So hopefully how I&#8217;m better I&#8217;m going to start writing some random but maybe quite interesting posts again and get back on the development front.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allan.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you noticed I\u00a0haven&#8217;t\u00a0really been around for a while I stopped\u00a0updating\u00a0the website and it was\u00a0hacked\u00a0and taken down and all that crap.
