Back from the GDC and experiencing a bit of jet lag for first time. :-) The event was great! Additionally I went to the Khronos OpenGL ES coding challenge demo festival to find out that I won the 1st place in the Demo/Special FX category! My entry was an OpenGL ES version of the San Angeles Observation 4 KB intro I contributed to the Assembly’2004. Also source code is included in the package!
GDC 2005
I’m travelling to GDC 2005 in a few days, ready to attend in tutorials, sessions, meet new people and so on. If you want to meet me there, contact me asap (by saturday), since I might not have time to check my mail during the conference.
I also submitted a contribution to Khronos OpenGL ES coding challenge, and will do my best to attend the prize ceremony held during the GDC week. My entry to the compo is an OpenGL ES port of the 4KB intro San Angeles Observation, and it will soon be released with the source code.
Studies and work
After a few weeks of vacation time, it’s time to continue with work & studies. I just started attending a seminar about “Software Production and Computer Games”, after having successfully completed last period’s “Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in Computer Games” seminar.
But the really great news is that the game Stuntcar Extreme® has now its own web site www.stuntcarextreme.com, which has just been launched! It’s now available for multiple Series 60 phones and PocketPC PDAs as well in addition to the existing ones, with still more to come. Go get it. ;-)
UPDATE: Nowadays the web site has been abandoned and it does not exist anymore. Check out Fathammer pages (Another update: even those are gone now).
Blight Warrior awards in 5th Ludum Dare
Got the results from the 5th Ludum Dare 48 hour game development competition. I won the 1st place in both innovation and production categories, which is two out of three of the main voting categories! I have now added the game to the creations Blight Warrior page as well.
Other nice news is that the Gizmondo is shipping, and the Stuntcar Extreme® is available for it as well.
