miniTip jQuery Plugin I discovered the wonder that is jQuery during my development of Leet Media, and I have decided to convert all of the sites under the GoldFire Studios umbrella to use jQuery instead of Prototype. However, I've been using Prototip on both BC Wars and PokerRPG, which as the name suggests only works with Prototype. While jQuery has many tooltip plugins (including the very nice Tipped, a newer version of Prototip for jQuery), none seemed to quite meet the needs of my own projects. Many are... Read More [] |

Why HTML5 is the future of online gaming If you are reading this blog, you are probably aware of the massive shifts that the gaming industry has gone through over the last few years.

New Project: Leet Media There haven't been many updates on PokerRPG, BC Wars, or this blog for much of this month, but that is for two main reasons. The first of which is that I started a new project that I've been alluding to for the past month or two (if you missed my hints, it isn't a new game as you are about to find out). The other reason is that in conjunction with this new project, I've been learning about a lot of great new technologies to really improve both games and anything in the future. One of these...
