Beta update

The beta is going extremely well. Playing with Archa and Pineapple yesterday, and Pineapply and Wedge today; just a massive amount of fun. The sword arc has made the game very very playable. Still a long way to go, with blocking getting especial attention next week, but everything is looking very good indeed.
As is mentioned on the forums – a place every beta tester should inhabit – I’m getting beta testers to do their own taunt-poses. Want to put your character’s hand on his chin, glance to the sky, and look generally contemplatative in the midst of battle? Go into the pose editor, make that pose, and put it in the pose list. Lots of fun, and I’ve no doubt Archa will manage to come up with something that scares me in a very real way.
The Drayton St Leonard Village Tennis Tournament is tomorrow. It’s a big deal. I will be playing during the day and drunk during the evening. Normal service will resume on Monday.

Hey, does this Tennis torunament mean you ain’t coding in the weekend? :O
Oh well, if the server works, it’s ok. ;>

Good luck with the pose editor guys. Good luck.

What are you rambling about music boy? That thing was a piece of cake. Sure using the dynamic IK is a bit wonky, but just manually rotating nodes is easy.

Mode 7 is proud to welcome Wedge to the fold and would like to announce the following corporate restructuring with commencement immediately…
Paul: Director of Music and Sound Design.
Wedge: Director of Manual Node Rotation.

WordPress has also been demoted to making tea. The Pose Editor has been given its own office.

I would like to come on and congratulate our HR department for finding someone with such natural Node Rotation ability as Wedge. This kind of thing can be trained, but when you find that rare player – that rare natural talent – you know you’ve got something special on your hands.
Note to Paul: Pose Editor is unhappy with his office – it’s not big enough. Man, he’s gunning for you man.
