It’s been a little while since I posted anything about what we are doing, so I thought I’d give a quick update. First off, I applied to some Computer Science grad programs for this fall. I applied to three PhD programs and one MS program, and only got into the MS program. While that was pretty disappointing, the good news is that it made the decision of where to go really easy! I was a little concerned about not having enough time to continue working on Crown and Cutlass in a PhD program, but I think I’ll still be able to contribute and take my classes (and continue working part-time). I’m really excited about this program and going back to school. It even looks like there may be some classes that may help me figure out how in the world you actually write a game!
In other news, Collin and I talked today about what we still need to do before we can start rewriting Crown and Cutlass game code using our new Protocce engine. That’s a significant milestone! I mean, it’s not as big a deal as actually using Protocce in Crown and Cutlass, but at least we are talking realistically about it. We are getting close to having something workable, and we are both really excited about the foundation Protocce will provide. If you are interested, you can take a look for yourself at our (slightly outdated at the moment) Protocce doxygen docs or at the Protocce SVN repository directly. If you really want to keep an eye on what we are doing, you could even subscribe to our SVN commit mailing list. I’ll try to boil some of that down into some specific things we are excited about in a future post when I have a little more time…
It’s great that you’re going to grad school. Where are you going? Grad school is awesome. Actually it’s really hard and frustrating a lot of the time, but it’s still awesome.
