As always, the ‘Video Games are/aren’t Art’ argument is in full swing, with Roger Ebert (seriously?) apparently as the newest celebrity to chime in. You can read his latest rant on the subject here if you haven’t already.
Ebert frames his blathering as a critique of a speech by Kellee Santiago of thatgamecompany in which she [...]

Relocated the website to a dedicated server. Now it's time to write some tutorials. #
Time to write some tutorials! #
I decided it was finally time to move the site off of shared hosting onto a dedicated server. Foolishly I also upgraded all the software the keeps the site up and running, which made the task at least twice as hard. I couldn’t get the wiki to share the site/blog/forum authentication, but I also don’t [...]
I’ve been rewriting the entire framework code and am just about finished. I have a couple more things to do in the GUI module and I still need to redo the homestarrunner menu demo, but after that I can finally release everything to the public.

As I was working on my procedural tree tool for Bonk, I realized I really needed some GUI items so I could manipulate the variables for each tree in real time. I’ve been putting off the GUI system in MUA for a really long time and this was the final straw that got my ass [...]
I’ve continued my attempt to round up some interested artists from my groups of friends, but with no luck. I still have the original few who claim they are interested, but that really means nothing. I even got a fairly harsh rebuff from one friend essentially telling me to stop asking and to get new [...]

SVN
Since the last post, my second machine (which had the SVN repository on it, among other things) kicked the bucket. I obviously still have the current source on my dev machine, but all the prior code and changes were lost. Anyway, this isn’t the first time I’ve lost a repo, so I finally caved and [...]
