Hey, I have excelent customer service abilities, this doesn't mean I allow stupidity to pass without the most subtle of admonishments. My wrath against the lazy is unmerciful.

Yes, I made this....

True.  People are assholes.  And I almost assaulted that sixteen year old emo jackass.

   Well , been hanging around you site and decided that i should introduce myself.
I'm a 34 year old guy living in London and have been wanting to try create a 3d game myself for some time.So I fired up my copy of firefox and started checking out CS.

   Looked at the related projects and found precursor which seemed very much like the game I wanted to create, it's at an early stage and seem to have being making steady progress.

   While I have experience programming its mostly database and VB/PHP,while I am not a total stranger to C++ I have little experience programming with it. That's likely to change as I start getting into CS.

   Currently I have precursors/Cel/CS and blender loaded and working.I am doing the tutorials, built my own walktest app from the doc's and have moved on to a little bit of modelling with Blender. After I get more of the basics down I plan to have a closer look at precursor and see if I can be any help. Probably be a while before I get up to speed but am making good progress.

   My plan at the moment is to get basic modelling down ( read ugly ships ) and then to get more into CS, My current goal is to create a small trader/explorer type ship with several seperate weapons(read crew positions), and some form of damage system. Not going to try get any multilayer functionality as i think that above is plenty to work on to start.

Anyway,I will be in and out of the forums regularly to seem how you are getting along.

Regards

Since it's been a while since I've posted in this thread, let me extend a warm welcome to the following people:

Trendykill: I echo Caenus's BDT. Good to see you here! (How'd the LDay at Dawn's go? Sorry I didn't make it...)
Xentither: Your insanity impresses me. Welcome to the team, and looking forward to seeing your work!
Recon: Awesome to have interest from another programmer; I know you'll fit in well. And a forum member from London = fricking cool, IMO.

Welcome to all of you!

Hey, I'm Amy.  I like to paint, and I'm going to collaborate with John on some of the artwork.  I also know Keith (hi Keith)

I was a physics major for a while with a concentration in astronomy (I had no life), so I like space related things.  If you need information or ideas for star or planetary systems I can definitely help.

Other than that I like art, sci-fi, and occupying myself so I'll be around - hi everyone  :)

Hi Amy.

Oh, hey, as soon as I get off my ass and get productive, I'll send you specs on the damphyr if you feel like painting.

Hey Amy! Welcome!

Just a note: we're going to need to design litterally hundrewds of planetary systems... and the problem is, we don't know how to (from a code stand point) handle the shear sizes we're talking about. Having one or two 'toy' systems would be truely excellent, and might get us off our collective asses, and make a more interesting map... :-p. So, I guess I'll post some general ideas I have for some star systems, and let you have some fun with 'em, eh?

Name's Ed.

I heard about this place from Contingencyplan, but I also know Amy and John.

I just dropped out of grad school for computer science.  It was no longer fun for me. 

I'm here to hang out, maybe contribute ideas, watch and participate.

Welcome aboard. I also dropped out of college (was CS too.) I did it for almost the exact same reasons. Feel free to comment, chill, or even do some work on something you think will be fun. :)
