On today, the 30th of January 2005, a new Blog was born - Slade on Game Development. And it is a good day, here at Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. It is a day that began at 00:00AM military time when I continued work the night before on a real-time Macromedia Flash computer game.

Before we get on with the games, it is very important that I do a one-time introduction of myself. My name is John Tan Ching Tsan, or just John. I am born twenty years ago in Assunta Hospital, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. I am now a university undergraduate, freshman of Multimedia University, Cyberjaya campus, pursuing a degree in Software Engineering and Games Design. To cut myself short - I see myself as a thoughtful, unconventional and multifaceted individual who finds it difficult to express my thoughts as articulately as I wish and need.

And to further cut myself short I would like to get on with what this blog is all about. I have thought about what to write here – and it won’t be just anything. I will try my best to only write about game development here. Here you will find my opinions, rants and raves on the world-wide and Malaysian game industry. You will occasionally find links to tutorials I found or wrote about game development in different platforms and systems. Ultimately this blog is a journey of my long pursuit of a career in this amazing field.
