COG Developers

As some of you may remember, I wrote a blog a few weeks back about starting to work on a new website. Well, Champions of Gaming (COG) is officially under development. I am working on it with Mark Fedor (papasmurf786) and Chris Tuvera (eviltim11). They are both people I play videogames on a fairly regular basis. Mark I have only known for the last two and a half years as I recall. I grew up knowing Chris since first grade. Mark has some pretty impressive graphic skills and is starting to learn some basic programming concepts. Chris is constantly getting better and better with his graphics skills. He also has some programming skills; though, he has yet to delve too much into web development. For the moment, I am doing most of the backend development while working with Chris and Mark on the frontend.

As for how the development is going, we have officially bought the domain now. We are hoping to pick up a few similar domain names, but that is still hanging in the air at the moment. The look-and-feel is pretty much set, and I must say it looks pretty sexy. We have mapped out a few placeholders for some features we think will be cool. No real functionality has been put in place yet, but a lot of ideas are being thrown around and decided on. I do not know how much will get done before Thanksgiving as all three of us are in college at the moment. However, hopefully, we will make some significant progress over winter break.
