We are alive! (Sep 2008)

29 September, 2008

To be honest, when I last said we was busy, I would never have guessed that for ALMOST A YEAR, we would not be posting anything on this weblog. But we are most definitely alive and there is no need for the word 'comeback', since we actually never died away! So here's a short list of what's gawn on at micron developers:

Game development

Me and a bundle of fellow uni friends are currently (every now and then) developing a 3D table football game, featuring some nice engine features. We got only limited experience in this very field, so it is really uphill work, but maybe one day we'll pull off with a really amazing game (but maybe not).

Software development

Menu Inventor
After careful consideration, Menu Inventor is coming back! And not just that, it is going to be COMPLETELY REWRITTEN and versioned 1.2, introducing an even friendlier user interface, better editing tools (improved Drag'n'Drop, batch editing) and much more, with the still same large emphasis on small and memory CPU requirements.
Chemix
Plans are currently vague, but if I ever get to work on it, it will surely be done in Flash 8.
Disc broom
Support for Disc Broom is now definitely being dropped, as there are much better tools out there that do the job.
Future project - Trace
As a future project, I was thinking of a node-based compositor for modelling and analysis, currently codenamed Trace, which I could use as a university project. The program makes use of nodes to create models of situations, animations etc. Now I know you wonder how this is ever going to be interesting for an average-user out there, but the bottom line is that nodes are fun to use and very flexible. Have a look at the concept.

Web design

I'm currently working on the Oxford Psychology Website. The site is medium sized and is probably my first web project that uses strict XHTML.

Graphic Design

Lately, I have been concentrating on developing my design skills, this year I will be designing the Warwick Vietnamese culture show poster again; and that is also one of the reasons why my time spent on programming is thinning quickly.

I shall be posting on regular basis again, now having fixed this weird PHP issues on this weblog. For now, keep it real!
