Welcome to Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots — a weblog about development, business, design and technology — written by thoughtbot.

Quake + Java = Jake

Once upon a time, I used to want to program games. And then I realized that I wasn’t really all that good at telling a story, making 3D models, and especially texturing those 3D models, so all I’d be doing is making an engine that probably spun some cubes at blinding speeds (if that). That being said, I wish I could get paid to write games in Java, or at least translate them from the original C.
