Before and After

A fellow indie recently came to me with a level that he had done, but needed some fine tuning. The above is a before and after screenshot of that effort. The whole level ended up having to be reconstructed from scratch because the DIF exporter for Torque couldn't handle a lot of errors in the original model. I think that after lighting, the final product came out quite well.

Note; I used stock textures for this project and modified them as needed. This greatly reduced the time and effort needed to complete the level quickly.

When It Rains....

When it rains, it pours. Within about 48 hours of election day, I got 4 new contracts. I'm wondering whether the changing of the guard made people feel more optimistic at some level.

At any rate. Tarly has been helping us test the Weapons pack for Realm Crafter and pointed out that some inventory icons would be very helpful. So, I whipped up some icons and they will now be included in the pack.

We have yet to hear a word back from Solstar Games (The folks who make Realm Crafter) so at this point I can only assume they are not interested or did not get the email. That means finding an alternate store for the product.
