Tuesday Morning Polyhacker -- Mar. 28

Net & Web not Ball & Chain
A surprising and wonderful but not completely unexpected thing has been happening over the past few weeks. Some of the folks who have contributed a large amount of work to the open source libraries have started up their own projects. Check out Nibbuls' new Genesis RTS and Terry's long talked-about collaborative map-building project. This is as it should be and bodes well for the growth and ongoing health of our steadily expanding network of like-minded artists. It'll be great to see where their passions take them and I will definitely be contributing where I can.

Round Up
I was deep in texture land again this week. Tightened up a few I have been working on for a while, and worked on my first model from Nibbuls' aforementioned new game.











I should be doing a clean run-through on all the WIP packs in the next week or two. Stay tuned.

Thousander Club Update
I did it! I passed the 100 mark. Now I just have to do it 9 more times. On a good note, I think I may have finally gotten into the new rhythm and gotten over the end of winter colds. Now if the rains will just stop I could get back on my skateboard and arrive to work happy and free of tension. Also, the loose network of Thousander Club participants may have just grown again -- more on that next week.
