<br />
It is time to change our webpage!<br />
<br />
On the other hand we have finished a Tool for Unity users called 3DNotes, it is really cheap and i think users can manage its projects much better with it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://u3d.as/content/astute-games/3dnotes/aEa">3DNotes Asset Store</a><br />
<br />
See the video to understand what are we speaking about:<br />

<br />
Now, we have enough money to keep working in our new game <b>Snitcher</b>, we are designing it from 1 year now and we are very excited to see the results.<br />

<br />
Finally i just realized i need a Windows 8 to have the choice of making a Windows version from Unity. Well, the good news are i just purchased time ago the amazing Parallels Desktop 8, so i can emulate without problems any Windows.<br />
<br />
Well, Microsoft has apparently changed lot of things, for the first time i have used Windows 8 and im not scared like in old times with Windows Vista. Lot of tools are now free like Visual Studio Express 2013. The own Windows is really cheap.<br />
Also, i found Visual Studio has a direct connection with Windows Store, it is like XCode and iTunes Connect, so all seem more Apple style and it sounds good to me.<br />
<br />
I think the only difficult part in deployment of game in Windows was to change all things doesn't work in .NET core, it is quite similar to Mono but some code doesn't work like XDocument, BitArray and other some. But luckily there are tons of information on net about all these issues.<br />
<br />
And yes, we have now our game in Windows, check it:<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Finally i decided to make this new blog dedicated to all related with my own personal project from more than 10 years now. It is not a company or something else, it is just an illusion from me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Im a videogame programmer since 1997 and always i have a job in this industry, but i always had the feeling of own something about video games, because of this i just "founded" Astute Games when i finish my career at <span style="font-size: large;">Pyro Studios</span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I remember perfectly the day i start to search a name for mi virtual company, i was just preparing a video game for a contest in 2003, the first mobile video game contest organized by Nokia, Discreet and other guys. I just make the game demo with my awesome gfx artist Laurent Samani, very famous in demo scene in France. The game was targeted for <span style="font-size: large;">Nokia N-Gage</span> mobile, so the resources were very limited. Anyway i feel very very proud of this work, we got the 3rd prize.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After this demo, i don't remember why but the game was stopped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will discover in next posts a bit of the past of Astute Games and of course lot of things running in my head.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now, 2013, i just want to continue doing things by my own because i love this kind of feeling about having a dream meanwhile i just work for another companies. I would love to share with all of us my ideas, projects and all related to Astute Games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
