Ages… Oh and Cubescape

Yes I know it’s been ages. But whatever. It’s my blog. I can not blog for months on end if I feel like it.

Spent literally 5 hours yesterday afternoon doing a deep clean of the big blue bus I live in (moving EVERYTHING, rearranging MOST THINGS including removing a large chair, vacuuming EVERYTHING…..even overheated mum’s vacuum cleaner twice). 10 times nicer in here now.

Anyway the main reason I’m posting this now is because I have to tell everyone I’m starting a new blog (stupid? maybe) that will keep track of my progress in the development of Cubescape. It’s sort of a Minecraft “clone”. I won’t reveal too much here because it’ll take too long to type and I just to do a quick blog here before I have to get ready to go to a AAFC parade night (google AAFC).

Trust me this is no joke; I’ve spent many weeks and even months working on internal systems to make chunk loading as fast as is jolly well possible. It’s not multithreaded yet, and it already runs about 2-3 times as fast as Minecraft (it’s programmed in C++ which helps enormously). Not much to show visually, but more info in the new blog. Will post again here when I’ve got the new blog actually going.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading from beginning to current in Lee’s FPSC Reloaded blog (http://fpscreloaded.blogspot.com.au/), so I’m going to follow his example somewhat and do a day-by-day blog. Also I’ll be switching over to Google Blogger because I prefer it over WordPress.

Also, my writing style will be considerably less cringe-worthy in my new blog. I re-read my last two blog posts (my only two, as it happens) and hated what I’d written. It was as if I was trying to sound dramatic or something. Anyway that’s out the window (well it would be if my window actually opened).

Back later with the address of my new blog. It’s not actually up yet.
