06.04.2009 monday

thinking about nice dynamic view-space volumetrics effect and coding first tests for that. i haven't heard of this kind of approach as it's basically free (and totally fake, of course) in deferred systems. we had a long design discussion of F: demo "you must drown" in a bar with hth/flo. maybe we'll still create a demo for breakpoint, now we just need some means of transport.

 

07.04.2009 tuesday

ok this is my last day on work, more time to code! too bad we didn't start it earlier. except that igda (international game developer's association) has this meeting at bar today. damn, 23:55 ceo sents me sms "plzzzz come to work tomorrow" i replied him i just bought 3 more beers and already wasted. guess the rest

yeah, better objects for the main scene. now demo starts to look better, except that we haven't got a clear vision for the correct mood of demo. new tune by nosfe/flo might be too hardcore but some ambient soundscape, although could suit it better, would be way too boring. mov/flo has party which ends up in bar, things get awkward after hth starts buying most annoying drinks bartender can make. now we have a ship to take us to tallinn (est). breakpoint, here we come!

 

09.04.2009 thursday

  coding symbian at work & got pissed off as my application said the server didn't allowed the connection. (later i heard my test site called google was down for couple of minutes) 1 beer after work, 1 beer after another and when unclex joins us i got thrown out of bar and they called me a cab to home. now we _might_ also have airplane tickets to either london or amsterdam, can't remember which one.  i wonder if anyone has the slightest clue who, if anyone, paid those.

 

10.04.2009 friday

  unable to get my phone on so no idea of those tickets. nobody on irc either, except abho/flo who invited me to tampere to get flight from ryanair. finnair seems to sell saturday/monday tickets to/from frankfurt for 350e but i want to get there earlier. who cares, i'll just take a case of beer and go to check how long it takes to get a standby ticket towards bingen.  

11.04.2009 saturday

what the hell, i'm at home again and been "fixing" the demo since the small hours. but hey, ferries seem to be quick, i can still manage there by the evening if i move on quickly.

 

12.04.2009 sunday

  it turned out that that ferry would have taken 26 hours to rotterdam. or whatever. we ended up boozing at the shore with hth and couple of hangarounds.  now heading to my local bar to heal this hangover with megamies/flo  

13.04.2009 monday

  i'll go back to sleep this was absolutely the most brilliant breakpoint ever! see you next year!

 

Go back
