Looks like I didn’t exactly speak the truth in my last post ;). Yeah after that post I moved on from Graduate studies and moved to Boston to take a job at a startup called FreeCause. Since then FreeCause has sold and I am looking for the next big thing. I’m not sure how long I am going to keep this site around, as I have since made a new portfolio website: http://ryansandor.com.

We’ll see how it goes, you never know… perhaps this could one day just be my personal blog :D.

Regards,
Sandor

A long time gone…

Hello! Since starting this website I have found little time to keep up with it (my initial posts were the only posts until this date). This regrettable incident will now be remedied. After starting the website I worked full time at Sandstone Digital, graduated from college, and got accepted into Graduate school. Thus my life has been a hectic one, but that is no excuse for neglecting sandorsoft.

Today is the day the problem becomes “fixed”. First by publicly addressing it in this post, and second by writing a new article each week in one of the many categories that are offered on the website (Games, Sound, and Web Design). Saturday seems like a good day to do something of this sort, so why don’t we start there. Hopefully I can generate some interesting and useful commentary for you all to enjoy!

Thanks, and have a great weekend.

The contact form I was using was a little buggy, so the contact page will be down as I test and install a new contact form plugin.

half-life 2 development textures

When it comes to making maps in Half-Life 2, one has to tread carefully. The two most basic problems builders run into at the beginning are:

Spacing (how long is 128 units anyway?)
Level Leaks

To combat these annoying problems many experienced designers will tell you to “Compiler Early, Compile Often.” This is absolutely sound advice. But there is another basic problem that can sneak up on a novice designer: texture mapping.

Working as a freelance web designer can be tough. Working as a freelance web designer in Houghton, MI? Well that’s a piece of cake! Luckily there are a couple of web development firms in town, and Sandstone Digital is the best.

Hopefully I can stick with my update schedule and really get some interesting articles on the site.
