Followed by the recent success of my game Flyer being licensed, I spent much time away from my laptop and computer to focus on my school studies. While this actually had taken me away from the time I would have liked, I came up with quite a bit of new ideas to integrate into HTML5 games and actually planned them out to a point where I could start developing them. I'll give you a little bit more information below about this adventure.
Recent activity
So I have spent the past 2 months studying for school tests and exams (which I am currently still busy with at the moment) and getting things ready for a Non-Disclosure Agreement(NDA) to a large project that Pixel Wizard Studio have agreed to collaborate on with a private company which is a MMO game. Now I know what you are thinking "Oh another MMO project that's getting ready to fail" or "I bet he doesn't even know what is waiting for him with the amount of work a MMO game takes". Indeed, but we have two full teams that are dedicated and passionate about games who are working on this project, not to mention that development is coming a long swiftly. And well that's all the information I can provide with regards to that.
Development progress
I wouldn't say I have made the most substantial progress on any of my projects that I had planned to work on but I can say that I have made a lot more progress on planning things out of how I would like them to be. I also have to balance my time with my priority being my development team coming first when doing any game development, so that does play a big role at the moment.
While this hard work is taking up my time (Studying and the MMO) it will definitely pay off in the end. I have planned out all my previously mentioned HTML5 ideas and think that they hold many different experiences while developing them. These I will be getting to when I have time that is not dedicated to other projects but it is one of my priorities at the moment..
The development log of the Omnipotent World sequel will be up once I have developed the game a little bit further than it's current state. I am still developing the engine so that development can run as smooth as possible. A lot of things are subject to change within the game such as the name, game play, story and more features but these are just few of the major changes that are going to make this game better than the last.

Pixel Wizard Studio
Since I have a role in Pixel Wizard Studio, I will be posting my progress that I do for the team and some team progress (this cover up will move to the official Pixel Wizard Studio website once it is neatly polished and finished).
We have not yet released the Infinite Runner HTML5 game since we have one of our team mates adding some extra features. After the finalization of the features, we moved on to working on a puzzle platformer, it was soon interrupted by the MMO project and we rather had a look to working towards that. We have all taken the turn to make this MMO project a priority and work as hard as possible on it with all the spare time we have. You can follow the team on twitter here, @PixelWizStudio

Business plan
I recently started off a business plan in my local community for HTML5 games which actually only involved more socializing than anything else. This business plan has had a kick start over the past week and it will may just be a very good idea which will involve more games being added to my portfolio and creating more partners. This business plan was thought of to help my community bring in extra income as well as income for myself. It also gives the youth a break through into the business world which is lacking upon the youth here in South Africa.
I will disclose more information of this business plan when it reaches a point of succession, in my next blog post.

Website changes
I am making a few changes to make my website more appealing to all the visitors I have and hoping that they will enjoy their stay and the content that I provide. I have also changed my name to Luminous Wizard, which I think will give a positive look on my games as it indicates that they will be unpredictable and bright making them appealing to users.
In the future I may also be moving away from this sub domain and have my own domain to myself as my personal blog. I will notify everyone by means of a blog post and newsletter if you have subscribed to the sidebar.

Future plans
So my conclusion of this blog post is my future plans (which, as you can see, I always do at the end of my blog posts). I usually always take what I have mentioned before and make a small summery of what I have to do so it gives a transparent idea of what you can expect from me.
When exams are finished I will most likely be making a lot of progress on all the things I list as I have a nice 3 week holiday which is enough time to dedicate to all of these (well I'll see when it gets there as game development can always be unpredictable in my opinion).
Right now I have the following planned out to do:
This concludes my blog post for now! I trust you have all had a welcomed and enjoyable stay, check out my games and my experience with development engines.

Right now I have the following planned out to do:
- I have to work on the MMO project as a major priority with both development teams.
- I would like to have the Infinite Runner finished and polished for sponsorship.
- Create and publish some more HTML5 games which I have planned out.
- Finish up the engine for the Omnipotent World sequel and start the development log.
- Finish creating the Pixel Wizard Studio website.
- Make a success out of my business plan.
- Make changes to my website to create diversity between my projects and make it more appealing for visitors and clients.
This concludes my blog post for now! I trust you have all had a welcomed and enjoyable stay, check out my games and my experience with development engines.
