The Hype Machine

Apr 23, 2003

It's been a LONG time since I've been so excited thinking about a future project that I can't sleep. Reminds me of designing the Sphere spriteset editor while lying in the guest bedroom at my grandparents' old place in Pittsburgh.

I'm not gonna give details, but I'm thinking of working on the sequel to a common geometric shape for my Master's thesis. ;) It'll be like nothing you've ever seen... Which means one of three things:

It's too ambitious and it will never be more than vapor. -or-
It will be way ahead of its time and nobody will understand it. -or-
It will completely rock our world.

I'm betting on #2, but maybe a little #3 will peek through. Only time will tell!

I really hope I'm given a green light from my boss-slash-advisor. I want to start this summer. Actually, I want to start tomorrow, but this semester isn't ready to let go just yet...

CVS is a Scheming Mistress - NextPrevious - Nintendo does it again.

Ooh, is this that kiddie porn project you were telling us about? Hope it works out well for you. ^_^

Or, crap. I forgot you were keeping it a secret. Sorry, man.

Can't... fix... spelling... error... DYAAGH!

Good luck on that, honey. I hope that Ace gives you the green light for it...as you seem really excited to start. Remember that I am behind you 100% in whatever you decide to do...so I'm excited that you are excited.

I think there's only one way to reply to this: YAY!!!

Please consider calling your project the anti-antediluvian sphere. I can't find a single necessary purpose for the word antediluvian, and thinking about hyperspheres gives me a headache.

Cool! If you're looking for idiots to write some code, I'll be around to help. :)

It'll probably have some non-geometric shape name. :)

aegisknight on Apr 23, 2003

Considering I'm thinking about using it for my Master's thesis, I'll probably do it all myself.

I guess I fall into category #2, cause I don't think I get what you mean by [HTML_REMOVED]"sequel to a common geometric shape"[HTML_REMOVED]

But hey, good luck - I'm sure you'll do great!

"sequel to a common geometric shape" read sphere, the game designer he has been working on for like 7 (I think) years...

aegisknight on Apr 24, 2003

Hey! Bean spiller! ;)

I'm not sure how true of a sequel it will be... It may not fit Sphere's audience at all. We'll see.

iagirl1984 on Apr 24, 2003

like most people didn't know what you were talking about... :P

Good luck!

God I'm an idiot. I was thinking "a sequel to Cube?"
