Why a gaming startup? FirstSeed!

I write occasionally. This time I would like to share about why I started game development studio FirstSeed.

Many of you might wonder why this guy chose this field? I would like to add reasons for selecting game development as my core business. During my school days, I played "9999999 in 1" handheld console games. It was interesting those days. Later got an opportunity to play TV Console game. I got to play games like Mario, Contra, BaseBall, Bomberman. I loved these games to the core. This was the first time I felt so much connected to something. I got a feel of myself jumping there. Whenever I pressed Jump button, together with Mario me too jumped a little bit. So I was always finding excuses to play games.

During my higher secondary education, got into PC games and played Need for Speed, Road Rash, EA Cricket. These games entertained me very well. But Age of Empires II and Red Alert 2 are no more just games during that time. They were life during those days. Actually, we(with my friends) used to devise strategies to win campaigns and frame new tactics to follow during LAN match. At this point of time, came this thought! "I would like to build my own game" Because these games created so many interactive experiences to me, so I wanted to create a similar experience or more than that through my games.

Answer for that thought = FirstSeed

Tabs at the bottom of TabActivity

Tabs at the bottom of TabActivity By default tabs in Android are displayed at the top. It is a general guideline for android developers to keep the tabs at top of the Tabs based application since lot of Android mobiles are having their home, back,search buttons or touch interface at the bottom But its purely our decision :) There are two ways to achieve this. Using RelativeLayout Using "android:layout_weight" attibute  1) Using RelativeLayout: .xml will look like the following. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@android:id/tabhost"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent">     <RelativeLayout         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="fill_parent">    ...

Why I have Quit my job?

Why I have Quit my job? A plain answer would be "I don't like to report when leadership fails". Five major reasons are there. Reason 1: "College Dream" It is always my dream to run a technology based firm. Reason 2: During my school days I have attempted to write code using OpenGL with no knowledge or limited knowledge on game programming. I love playing games and developing games. Reason 3: I would like to build an organic firm where leadership with vision will be the essence, people matters more and process matters less. Reason 4: I thought it would be the right the time to pitch in and build the world I have dreamt. Reason 5: Technology is a powerhouse and it should be used wherever improvement and inclusiveness is needed. So, to build businesses powered by technology that enhances wellbeing of people directly/indirectly. More updates on the way ... Follow @logickumar
