We'll never forget our friends and family who were lost in any of
the 9/11 flights or at the twin towers. I (Forest Handford) was
personally a co-worker of Carol Flyzik who died on one of the
flights. I had not intentionally planned to post today however if I
did not post today it would be because the terrorists won and that
the terrorists succeeded in creating a long lasting terror that
deeply hurt us. Instead of that we must move on. We can't be afraid
to live our lives because some people don't like us.

Today's post is about two topics. First I recently reviewed The Cg
Tutorial. Take a look in our reviews. It's a great book for artists
who want to try technical work and graphics programmers.

The second portion of this post is to inform you of the future of
this website. This website was started by me, Forest Handford, in
1998 as a way to teach novice game developers. Over the years most
of the tutorials and work have been done by me. However from time to
time we have had the help of some excellent volunteers. Because this
was strictly about game development it lost some attention as I
moved on to other projects. I'll get into more details about those
projects in the next few weeks. Right now what I want to say is that
East Coast Games, Inc is now inactive and the website is being
turned over to me to use for multiple topics. It's not my intention
to make this site a "blog" however in some ways it may start to
appear that way. The works I will soon be featuring here will not
for the most part relate to game development, like work I do for
IGN's EVE vault. Also there is a major project I'm working on that I
am 1/6th complete and I will announce the details of this project in
the coming weeks. To all the fans of this site, I'm sorry if this is
a let down. Please stay a few weeks longer to see what will be
happening before unsubscribing from the mailing list. The tutorials
will remain here as they are. As you may know they are a bit out-
dated, I would like to update them but I don't foresee a time when
that will be possible. In any case those tutorials will be there
forever as will most of the works that will be added in the future.
The only question I think that may leave open is, will I be the solo
content creator for this site. The answer is yes . . . and no. For
the time being yes, however if any work is sent my way that you
might want to see I certainly will do my best to get it added.
Thanks,
-Forest J. Handford
