Crystal Space has been nominated for the SourceForge Community Awards 2008. There are multiple categories and Crystal Space has been nominated in the ‘Best Project for Gamers’ category. If you like Crystal Space then I would like to invite you to take a little of your time to vote for us. If we win it would be a huge publicity boost and I think that would be in the benefit of anyone who would like to use Crystal Space for games. However, if you DON’T like Crystal Space then you can still vote for us. I’m not going to stop you 🙂

Dariusz giving a short demo of Apricot powered by Crystal Space, coming soon!

NLGD expo in Utrecht was very successful. People likes Apricot and our tools. Most important thing was that organizers supplied free beer for us ! Also we meet some cool guys from other teams/companies (cheers!) so it was very good experience. We have some photos, and also movie with current work-in-progress Apricot powered by Crystal Space 3d engine.

Thursday afternoon (06.03) Pablo gave a presentation on the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, department game design. There was a international workshop and conference on the art of effective communication through games for their students.

The students had to form project teams and would be supervised by game professionals (like Pablo) and visiting lecturers participating on the program and the conference. The games they made are presented at the project fair at the end of this International Week.
