I don't know if many of you have noticed, but I haven't been on D*S or Tremulous in quite a while. Some of it was due to finals/final projects, some due to my thesis, some due to TremFusion development. Well, I've finished my coursework at school and I'm trying to finish up my thesis in the next couple of months. But, most importantly, I've taken a full-time job developing a graphics engine for a company that does some really sweet multi-channel (as in 3-5 screens) simulators. The work is really interesting, I'm loving it, but mostly it means I have much less time for free projects. Sorry.

Anyways, I'm not gone permanently, but I will need time to settle. Don't be surprised if you don't see me much.

TremFusion, of course, will continue going strong. And I'll continue doing work on the project, as I can.

No, I'm not that Ender. I'm the other one.

  • It's good to hear Ender. Life and family are more important than anything.

    Like I always say, nobody ever leaves Tremulous, they just take a break from it.

  • Ender good to hear things are coming together for you.

    I really hope the thesis works out. I personally feel doing a kewl open source project is very noble.

    I was thinking the other day about when you made the choice to do the now named Tremfusion project. I still remember I PM'd you on when you were going to put on a clinic on Trem playing and you really ran with it. One thing lead to another and next look where you are.

    If you show this type on enthusiasm in whatever career you head into, it can only mean good things for you.

    I wish you all the best and it's been a pleasure ............. well no goodbyes just see you out there.

    Sincerely Opus

  • Thanks Opus. It's pretty crazy to look back at how this all got started for me. It all began with a new laptop and wanting to see how well the graphics would run on Linux with an open-source 3D game - and Tremulous popping up first. Then finding Dretch*Storm and the people here. Then creating guide pages to get D*S evos. Then starting a clinic. Then wanting a mumble server. Then wanting my own dedicated Trem server. Then wanting a better admin system. Then wanting a new release of Tremulous. Then merging with DnC. Lol. NOW look what we've done.

    Anyways, yeah, thanks for the well-wishing. Work is going pretty well, I'm still loving it. Maybe I'll convince them to go to an open-source engine that I can contribute back too Smiling

    Well, here's wishing anyways.

    Hmm you reminded me I have to move those guides over. There's over a 100 guides which should give some people a boost of credits.
