Typical crap, typical solutions... Todays Rant!
Although my mood is rather sick i can not really give a rant right now as there is too much to rant about at the time. But maybe a major rant out to the current world is not bad. Have a look once at the number of environmental catastrophies (hurricanes, floods) that happened in the last couple of month. Now come tell me this is really not happening due to how we pollute the air and the rest of it. Oh yes, it has nothing to do with cars smoking dirty the athmosphere and global warming is simply a joke of WWF fanatics. Fortunatly people wake up soon enough to see that no effect exists without cause, and the cause is mankind itself.

2000. yeah. not a year but page views. I have no idea when this happened nor did i pay any attention to it until a couple of minutes ago. Personally i don't know who i should thank for that as 99% of those people i have never seen before and after leaving their mark in the visitor statistics vanish into the oblivion of the dasphere once again unnoticed. A little bit sad how this place works as this is not really what i expected it to be in the beginning. But anyways, it's now 2000, however it happened. Looks like i now the next number is 3000. Oh cool, numbers... One of the reasons this place looks to me like a grave filled with zombies lacking any vividness i found in other communities. Maybe this changes... although... i witnessed many forums and comunities turning bad as the number of newbies increased like hell, also bringing along many n00bs. Judging after this old rule DA can only become worse, not better. A bit sad... really.

People somehow related to the Epsylon Project
This section devotes to people who showed interest in taking part in the Epsylon Game Projector that are already part of it or are otherwise affiliated with the project. Many thanks for the interest in contributing work at this place. The world needs more people doing something to share and building together a great project and not simply sitting egoistically on their work. I started this project as community project instead of yet another commercial project and it did already attract a couple of people and interest which I did not think at the beginning. to the helpers in the background who make this all possible.

==> Possible Future Contributor: Mapper
==> Possible Future Contributor: Programming, Interface Design
==> Affiliate: Has his own Mod-Project. Have a look at it.
There are still jobs open. Currently we are in need of people able to Skin 3D Models and/or creating World Textures (things like urban textures, nature textures, technical textures). If you are interested just send me a Note.

The Good People
I always hatted those icon collections of good people as it somehow puts the 'bad' stamp on all the other people that know you. Still some people really stand out of the mass that floods DA on a daily basis and as I have been mentioned on other peoples lists already I think it is just fair to give some credit back. If you are missing on the list and think you really belong here send me a Note so I can add you.
==> Nice guy to talk with. Is engaged in a Game-Dev project too.
==> Besides doing concept art for the Epsylon Project he leads his own Mod-Project.
==> Besides producing really nice Beasty-Series he devotes to promote Backyard Trees. This deserves to be mentioned especially.
Clubs
Major reason for this journal entry to place credits to the clubs I am in. Just a shame DA ruins all with their fucking stupid limitations. Here it goes in no particular order.

As time goes by...
Typical crap, typical solutions... Todays Rant!
Like always there's more crap going on in the world than it's save for the people in it. I'm thought not going to spend time on ranting about it here since most of it is technical and is related to games development. Too many bad developments in the last years. The bad awakening is going to happen soon but while others just follow the Lemmings over the cliffs I'm more into doing something against it. So in contrary to me usually not bringing personal projects into a journal like this: support the Drag[en]gine Project! Support a free game engine project with AAA qualities to give back the power

A long time ago ( 10 years if my memory serves me well ) a game called "Spyro" hit the PS delivering some fresh graphics, funny game mechanics and a lovely little dragon which you just had to like. After three installments the bonds between the developers and Spyro got severed and a new team took over the franchise. From that time on the franchise went downhill... fast. The last installment of this dead dragon falling down into a bottomless pit continues on both the Wii and NDS. While the Wii version of the same title I can not review I can do so for the NDS version... and I repent to have to t
Dragons on the run!

Not much to rant about this time. Yathzee does a better job at ranting... and a funny one. So if you have never seen Zero Punctuation go screw yourself ;)

The game itself has been a bit slowed in progress so the game engine can be pushed. Release is slated for somewhere this year so time is burning :D . Nevertheless I could test a new few things like a new way to create realistic dragon skins and fiddling with the Sculpt Tool in Blender3D. Things are taking shape now. Hopefully soon the first game dragon is fully finished with all the bells and whistles :D

Where did the dragons go to?
Typical crap, typical solutions... Todays Rant!
I don't know if it is lack of imagination or simply the futile struggle to impress all people around with super techniques and tons of colors and what not else but like 99% of dragon images you find on DA are simply lacking. Yes the techniques is very good and somebody spent a lot of time to draw something... that lacks expression. I'm really tired of those cranked up dragon images where the dragon looks more like Arnold Schwarzenegger with skin cancer after being dumbed in green paint. All these piles of colorful muscle and deformed spines sporting "things" have the expression of a stone. Damn
