... continued from previous .plan.
... T2D .plans.
... T2D .Discussions.

It's the GID weekend and this is the first time I've entered, so on Sunday, my mate Craig and I will be officially going for it. No artists unfortunately but we can sort that afterwards; not really interested in the art for now. We may ask Jordan (Strategem artist) if he'll do some art post GID which'll make our GID an official "Skunkworks" project! (Sorry Jordan if you're reading this and it's the first you've heard of it). ;)

It looks like we've got from 10am until 7pm (GMT+0) to do everything so it's gonna be tight. We'll be on IRC during that period and we'll take plenty of screenshots as we go.

Our toolsets will be Visual C++, TGE+T2D, Coffee/Orange-Lemonade, Pizza and Music.

Not sure who'll exactly be entering it this weekend but we'll take tips from anyone who's done it in the past. :)

We're both pretty excited and hyped about our game so lets hope it's as fun as we think it'll be. :)

Melv,

Early indications are it's going to be huge by GID standards ;-) Glad to hear you're definately going to make it !

Huge? Cool!

How many mad scientists are attending then?

... also, do you know what's a decent secure IRC client for windows? I don't do much IRC'ing.

Melv,

Confirmed: ~7-8 T2D beta takers, a large chunk/all of 21-6, most of the regulars, you guys, John K said he might stop by, i'm probably forgetting some people too.

If you want a newer build of TinyIRC then what's on the site, drop me a mail (fos2k4 @ gmail.com) and ill sort it out. I'm crunching on it at the moment, aiming to ship new stuff by next week, so the build on the site is wayyyyyy out of date now.

Nic,

That's ok, I forgot to email you too :) Will talk to you about it soon. You're on the T2D list anyway.

Xavier,

Haha, thanks ;-) Shame you can't make it. You haven't GIDed for ages :/

Melv,

good luck at GID.

Just out of curiosity what is happend with strategem ? Did you release the game and I missed it (shame on me) or do you canceled (set it on hold) the project for the T2D project ?

Melv May (Nov 12, 2004 at 17:38 GMT)

Thanks everyone; I'm really looking forward to this. :)

@Xavier: Shame you can't make it. :(
@Tom: I'll give the one on the web-site a go for now.
@Sven: Strategem is due to recommence probably around Feb next year; it's most certainly not dead. Well has been the plan for the last few months anyway. ;)

GID ... bring it on!
