Plan for Joe Maruschak
by Joe Maruschak · 12/31/2002 (4:43 pm) · 14 comments

The big news for my team here in Eugene is that my wife Jill and I had our first child on December 13th,2002. Her name is Anya Rain Maruschak. Look Below to see a little picture.
I also uploaded some footage of the development build that we had running at the IndieGamesCon to the BraveTree website.

ThinkTanks is moving along well. This past month, our programmer Clark Fagot did a bunch of optimizations that increased performance 50% to 100% (depending on the machine). We added the last of the planned features, including turret auto-leveling (makes aiming easier). We also have a few small graphical enhancments to the Torque that we want to share with the community. Information on how we plan to do this should be forthcoming very soon.
