Open Frag

Thursday, May 22, 2008

I joined the openFrag team two days ago (didn't take me long to move, huh?).

The fact is I found this project some time ago, when I was looking for help with Yake.
I contacted those guys, as they are probably the only project that really uses Yake.
I was watching the progress of the project ever since, and they had quite a progress.

Anyway, the openFrag initiative is a really cool place, they have quite a lot of projects going simultaneously.
The main one being an open source game engine and the first game on it will be their own Broken Alliance.

The entire project is open source so it's a bit chaotic, not really structured like I'm used to, but they manage, as they told me.
I'll start by helping them out with GUI stuff, which I probably can help most in, but I hope to branch out later on.

Anyway, that's the update for now, have a good weekend.

I QUIT!

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Well, not entirely, but definitely from Assyria.

As you might have noticed, I haven't been really working in the project lately, and to tell you the truth the entire project wasn't moving all that much.
Anyway, a few days ago the project leader announced he found the funds to open up a real studio in the UK.
The plan is to put Assyria on hold, create a casual game, to pay for more stuff there and then continue with Assyria.

Personally, I don't really see myself participating in that, maybe if I was in the UK, I might have gone for it.
So, I wished them all the best sent in my leftover code, and parted ways.

Now I'll be looking for the next project, I already have some projects in mind, but none that hired me yet.
Wish me luck...
