Another sketch for my Flickr Gallery:

Might be worth doing a scan of this one, since it's photo-quality at the moment and I've made some amendments since I uploaded that.
GCSEs went pretty well. A*s in English Lit, Maths, Science, Additional Science, and Philosophy & Ethics; As in English Lang, French and Business Studies. B in Art (haha, maybe I should give up on my Flickr gallery. :P)
As far as games go... I've been working on a commission for my brother's school, which uses a MySQL database and accounts system (now that I've worked out how to do this, I could potentially use it to make games such as RPGs that save character stats to the server) for an educational game. Semi-finished, but lack of communication is making it hard to get off the ground.
I started trying to get some interface elements into Invasion 5, but it's not fun to do that in AS3, especially not with the custom buttons I had in mind. I've now also completed the switch to what I think is a Flash 10 development environment in FlashDevelop (believe it or not, I don't think there's any way for me to check if it's working), so in theory the game should be able to use GPU acceleration on a small handful of lucky computers. Development should be slightly easier now that I've got a bit more RAM (I have to run FlashDevelop in a VM, which used to be pretty taxing for my computer).
I think I've realized how to make a mode7 3D engine now (a post on Flash Kit pointed it out to me). Not only that, I think I know a way to extend it to support hills, which would get past the main limitation of this graphics mode. Not sure that I'll ever get round to trying it out, though.
