    been back for a few weeks but I have been spending most of my time doing r&d and other not so glamorous work. Most recently me and my partner have been experimenting with the Unity engine to see if it might be a better option than rolling our own engine from various open source bits and pieces.

    I wish I had more hats and stuff, but all I have to offer is a skybox for spaghetti west:

    played with the editor for this when it first got released, it looks really nice. I'm going to try and get my karts running in it with my programmer buddy this week.

    there are literally a million cool ones you could make. Some ones I have slated:

    * big military general hat like this: http://www.thepeoplescube.com/images/So ... al_Hat.jpg

    * full metal jacket style soldier helmet with flowers/peace sign

    * old school big metal dive helmet

    * some cutsey animal style ones like this: http://slog.thestranger.com/files/2007/ ... d_frog.jpg

    frog, panda, etc

    * jester hat

    * knight helm

    * tiki mask like this: http://www.rattanparadise.com/tikimask.jpg

    really there is no plan though, I just sit down to do one and pick something that sounds good at the moment.

    had a work session last night, we spent more time tweaking the vehicle physics model and actually got it driving around half way "kart-ish". Spent a good amount of time studying mario kart and trackmania for what to add next (acceleration curve, camera system ideas). Once we got the kart driving somewhat I realized the western level needs to be about 4 times as large as I had guessed to not feel cramped driving on it, so I have some work to do re-scaling a lot of props and the mine in particular to look appropriate at the new scale. I probably need to re-create a couple textures at a higher-resolution as well.

    If work continues at a good pace I am thinking about starting some kind of development blog since there is a lot more going on besides WIP models.
