Restart
Hi,
although I have this account since 2006, I did not really post any entries. Hopefully this will change since I would like to share some of my experiences I make during the development of my spare time applications and games.
To give you some backstory: I've been in games business since 12 years now. Throughout this time span I was a simple programmer, translator (german->french), senior developer, lead developer, project manager, head of technology and freelance developer. I had the fortune to work with some of the best German game developers and some of the most talented German graphic and sound artists you might encounter. It was (mostly) a pleasure working with them although I managed to upset one person to a point he won't even talk with me anymore (at least one of whom I know).
The game genres I worked on were wide spread: from turn based strategy games through sports games up to casual games. The only thing I never programmed was an FPS.
In the recent years I sometimes turned away from game development to jump into the area which is called "serious applications" by the game developers. In fact, I made some quite interesting experiences there. I had the chance to contribute to the research and development of embedded hardware, wrote (mostly as a sole developer) the voice recognition, client-server based picking solution for one of the biggest spare part warehouses of Europe and contributed and still contribute to the development of a business application for a German music label and the planning and maintenance of an industrial CAD software.
Some month ago I published my own lib called SSCXML which is the first publicly available implementation of the SCXML draft (state chart XML) by the W3C.
In my spare time I started working on a small game called "Prohibition". It'll be a turn-based strategy game where the player must lead a police squad in it's fight against organized crime in the early 20th century. Since I'm working all alone on this project, progress is slow. I also tend to research and experience some programming ideas I have with this project. The game itself will be fully multiplayer targeted. Currently I'm working on the very base of the game: network layer, client-server structure, object management, ...
I think I'll post some of the things I do in this project in this blog :)
Have fun,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I'm based in Tokyo and I am working on a project using Scxml to implement state machines. I find your SSCXML very interesting. And I might suggest to my client to use SSCXML. Do you have plans on supporting the latest version of Scxml?
Hope to read more about SSCXML as well as Scxml itself.
