-<DoC>-

I have successfully created an exporter script for HAS that exports to the Half-Life smd format. This means both that you can now play as a Roman soldier in Half-Life, and that the game engine can now display ~2-5 times as many troops. This also means that the DoC demo is again on the way to completion.

-<Contests>-

I didn't win the narfco contest (this time… muahahaha)

Thanks to all that voted for me, though. I know there were three of you, but I only know one name (Kilin). Abacus gets in the credits because he tried to vote.

I recieved my prize from the 4E5 contest in the mail today - a copy of Gates of Troy, signed by the creator; as well as a letter saying that they're interested in any strategy games I (or any of the other contestants, I assume) want to release upon the unsuspecting public. That is a big opportunity for me, as I've been thinking about going commercial with DoC.

-<Concepts>-

Watched a bunch of Halo cinematics on gamespy earlier; came up with the crazy idea of making an FPS. Did some concept sketches and a model or two; tried to piece it together into a working engine; took a picture of the concepts; and gave up. Woulda looked something like this, though (the models, not the game):

I've also been thinking about making a TBS with a focus on simplicity in the lategame; nothing much in that direction now, though. Just a hasty concept engine and some placeholder stuff.
