(note the 2 (!) exclamation marks in the title, i’m excited)

yay! I hated that green background 😀
The other day, talking with Chris about ApriStuffs, we agreed that the old theme wasn’t the better, at this moment we all know that its gonna be a Frankie’s game, so.. why we have 3 rodents in the banner? lets give Frankie what he deserves! a big and *rendered* header 🙂

Was all made in The GIMP, Inkscape and Blender, was just playing around with the old logo in Inkscape, then imported the .svg in Blender as curves, added a material, rendered, and composited.

I’ll be making a splash for our brand new and shiny ApriBranch! we have our own branch! like the one that the Orange project had years ago, we will be adding and testing lots of features we need in this project, before going to trunk.

That’s all for now, hope you like the new theme, is not a big change but i just don’t like white-eye-killing backgrounds.
If you find a bug or something weird just drop a comment please.

So that’s it, all the institute for us, is Apricot Time!.

Here follows some explanation of how we’re working on the game logic.

The idea is to give an initial picture to the uninitiated, so that you’ll get the basic jargon we use, while also talking about some apricot specific stuff more towards the end of the post.

We picked VenomGFX from Airport. On this picture Dariusz, Chris and Pablo waiting for him (together with Margreet making picture) near Gate 1 carrying original Blender(R) labeled sign made by Ton.

According to Murphy’s law – he arrived from Gate 2 and surprised us from back 🙂

Then we went to Blender Institute with pizza, beer, watching anime movie, and we had cool party.
