Hello

This is the personal site of Ciro Durán. If you want to look for the indie games blog in Spanish, go to El Chigüire Literario.

The last weeks have been quite exhausting. This site relaunch, its upcoming fixes, the creation of CuteGodChigüire (a prototype proposed by Danc from lostgarden.com), a Spanish AGS tutorial (for which I found a collaborator for the next part, fortunately), a possible trip in August, and other projects have occupied almost all my free time, making me staying late until 2a.m. or 3a.m. Let’s add to this that my normal job has fixed hours, the result is that my sleep hours suffer greatly.

The consequence of this is that during this week, and maybe next, the usual weekly 8-9 posts in El Chigüire Literario will go down to 3 or 4, though the posting frequency will not change. You even may have noticed it already. This is a temporal situation while I put some affairs in order and, in particular, take out CuteGodChigüire from a very stagnated situation caused by some problems with Pygame.

So if you were expecting to read a lot from me, I recommend you to exercise some pacience. I’m very happy with the number of comments lately, most of them very interesting. Some of them are not answered yet, but those ones require some time to search for an answer, and time is what I need know. Anyway, I still love your comments and I read them all.

Well, that’s it for now. I’m out.

Always looking to improve the access to the information available here, and making easier its manipulation, I’ve done the migration from Drupal to WordPress. Drupal is an excellent CMS, but I concluded that I do not need its flexibility. In my opinion, WordPress offers a simpler alternative, with plugins with more concrete objectives.

So, welcome again to ciroduran.com. This site contains some samples of the work done in my professional career. My areas of interest are Computer Graphics, Actionscript programming, and videogames programming and production.

If you’re a Spanish speaker, please visit El Chigüire Literario, or The Literary Capybara, an indie games and games programming blog, written by me. It has some time rolling, with a good deal of information and news about the indie games industry and some projects I’ve been involved with.

Regarding this space, I do not have plans to update it as frequently as the previous one, only for new stuff published here. Anyway, if you wish, you can subscribe to the RSS feed in this site so you can first in the line when something is published.
