Trent Polack — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:25:54 +0000

I’ve let this site languish for far too long. I don’t necessarily promise I’m going to update it more frequently or anything, but I did give it a visual and textual update! And that’s what really counts, right? I have Continue reading →

Starhawk

Trent Polack — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:25:50 +0000

As of tomorrow, May 8th, 2012, you’ll all be able to buy your own copies of Starhawk! I think you should do this. I’ve been working Starhawk since I left Stardock almost three years ago and moved out to Utah Continue reading →

Low-Level Systems

Trent Polack — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 01:38:51 +0000

In my absence from writing and independently making games, I’ve been doing my best to play as many as varied games as I can get my hands on. The game combination which has specifically spurred this set of pieces (and Continue reading →

The game I’ve been working on as a designer for the last couple of years was announced last night; the game is Starhawk. The official site is at www.starhawkthegame.com and there are some good screen shots and videos there. Basically, Continue reading →

GDC 2011: Day 3

Trent Polack — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:27:55 +0000

Day 3 started, much like Day 2, at 5:00am, because for some reason I’m under the false assumption that I should continue waking up at my normal time all week. That is a poor assumption. Day 3′s sessions started with Continue reading →

GDC 2011: Day 2

Trent Polack — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:19:01 +0000

GDC 2011 – Day 1 entailed me getting into San Francisco fairly late, grabbing dinner and beer with some bros, and then pretty promptly heading to sleep. At 8:30pm local time. INTENSE. So, that was Day 1. This is Day Continue reading →

The Systemic Integrity of Expression

Trent Polack — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:39:16 +0000

Games of 2010

Trent Polack — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 00:09:28 +0000

In years past, I would have dedicated an entire entry to each of the games that I liked the most over the span of a year, but I know I don’t have the time (nor particular love of that format) Continue reading →

New Project: Civility

Trent Polack — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 05:25:03 +0000

I’m going to start up my game of the year posts soon, but I also wanted to post my first screen shot of the new project I’m working on: Civility. This is going to be a decent-sized project and, unlike Continue reading →

Balance Source Release

Trent Polack — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 05:23:36 +0000

Around a year ago, I released the first of what became four straight particle-only games in Unity. The game, Balance, was both my first attempt at a more rapid design and development cycle as well as an attempt to treat Continue reading →
