Great edition again, guys.

Love the fact the convention video's are up!

However, due to lower sound quality, and being not of the same dialect, I find it very hard to understand most of what Rick is saying, which is sad*

Any possibility of getting a transcript (painful, I know!)?

* The fact that I can't understand what he's saying is sad. The content of his speech isn't sad. Although, it could be, but I can't understand it to tell

Wow! Quite a bit has changed. I look forward to playing around with DarkGDK. Do I see a future with a mixture of DarkGDK and XNA? I think they would go together quite well, subtracting the Xbox360 crossover.

Time is ticking away.

Very impressed with the new FPSC. Very good issue.


You probably can't say, but when will the next major Dark Basic Compo be?

It's been ready for a while, but we are human, and like to enjoy Christmas and the New Year at the appropriate moment

Having said that, we were ironing out some technicalities approximately 20 minutes into the new year. It will be here shortly.

Hey, sorry to bump an old post, but it needed to be said - your bitmap font code is excellent Scraggle, thanks. I'm using an old plugin from Accode (they all went to prison then died) that can't write over sprites. This is perfect, and you also provided lots and lots of great fonts.


Come see the WIP!

He was the guy that wrote plugins with the potential to be great, but were quirky in such a way as to make them unusable. And the same guy who claimed Psionic's dog model to be his own at one point on the FPSC forum. Then he went to prison and died
