Ogre 1.6.4

New Ogre version! It is time for 1.6.4, with the usual load of bugfixes and still no Code::Blocks SDK. Seems that CB users will have to build their own Ogre.

Mocap lib

This post in BlenderNation has led me to a few motion capture libraries with hundreds of files. They are in several formats, specially bvh, which is Blender compatible. You will also find in the links a tutorial explaining how to use them.

Linux users buys more?

Linux Gamers has published an interesting post, which shows that Linux users are more willing to pay for indie games than Windows users. I consider this great news, but the study is not wide enough to accept this as a fact.

Bullet with OpenCL

Interesting news in BlenderNation got my attention today: AMD offers to supports porting Bullet to OpenCL. This means that withouth effort, our Bullet based physics will be accelerated using GPUs, extra CPUs, etc.

Cyphesis 0.5.21

This is the official! Im glad to announce that we have Cyphesis 0.5.21, the small to medium scale server for WorldForge games, with builtin AI.I see no mention to persistence, so I guess that after 0.5.10 and 0.5.20 we can safely assume that we have it.

Torchlight, an example

I have been aware of this game since a long time ago, as it uses Ogre engine. But important media seems to have discovered it just now, mostly because it is much like diablo, and part of the development team actually worked in Diablo titles. Gamasutra has a couple of articles, here and here, that you should read.
Yes, an small team can make an RPG. A good one! By the way, Venetica was released a few days ago, another interesting title made with Ogre.

Blender 2.49b

When I arrived this morning from my travel I thouth: "Im sure I missed something interesting while I was disconnected". Well, Blender 2.49b isn't such a great thing, but it is worth to mention.
Also, i will soon announce a new, very promissing project, from a developer I admire a lot.
