The official blog of SavageShore Creations. Here you will find updates about news in gaming, reliable reviews ranging from new game releases to a number of TV shows, videos which will primarily consist of machinimas, and maps and games that I've created in either Halo 3 or Halo: Reach. You will find that the majority of my work will be oriented around the Xbox 360 as that is the console of my choice. This site will also be serving as my online portfolio, so everything I post here will contribute to that, and I don't frankly care whether any of it gets views or not. For those who are tuning in for entertainment, I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

November Update

I'm aware that I haven't been updating this blog as much lately and there seems to be less viewers as a result. University is the main reason for the lack of action around here. But that doesn't mean that I have stopped making projects- I have a fair few currently planned that I'm excited about and anxious to complete. First off is my Mind Snare Machinima which is nearing completion and is likely to be done and uploaded either by the next update or the one after that. And here's a list of the other projects that you may be seeing soon (in order of appearance):

Videos

- Mind Gouge Walkthrough: A quick and standard walkthrough for my latest puzzle map. This type of video is easy to do so expect it soon after the Mind Snare Machinima.

- Chief's Journey Episode 1: I've got many great ideas for the pilot episode of this comedy series. It should be better received than UNOH's pilot episode since it doesn't require me doing any shitty accents.

Maps

- Infection Colliseum: Long have you heard about this map, long have I planned it, and long have my friends over Live bugged me about making it since I told them how it was going to work. Don't worry, it's coming soon. I just want to make sure that it's reached it's potential when it's released. It will revolutionize the Infection gametype.

- Vent Space: Yes I have planned a sequel to my hit infection map "Work Space". Work Space was only the third map I made so I am curious as to how well of a vent-themed infection map I can make now with more experience under my belt. A few ideas have welled up in my head and I'm anxious to translate them to the Forge. I was originally planning to call this one "Dead Space" but after I thought of it EA released word of their horror game with the same title. Who knows, maybe I'll still call it "Dead Space" as it will share the theme with the game of zombies coming out of the vents. The only thing is that people will think it's a rip-off when I actually thought of it first!

Also, I have become friends with the creator of Black Light Productions (makers of the "Phil" series on Machinima.com and Youtube), and would recommend for you guys to check out their work if you haven't already. They're pretty kickass so I've put a link to their blog on the side of mine under "Affiliates". Check it out.

And there you have it, some things to look forward to seeing on this blog in the near future (I hope to complete them all before the new year). Thanks for tuning in.
