Blogathon Part 2: Deep Space 9

Office Yeti!

Blogathon Part 1: Alex Austin in Miracle World

For those of you just tuning in, this is the second part of our spectacular series of daily blog posts; the first part (part 0) is here.
Yes, daily updates.. it’s exciting!
Today’s post was really meant to precede the events on which it is based, however we unfortunately weren’t able to find time while [...]

N Other News…

A few years ago, at Slamdance, we were introduced to a game we liked very much, called Rumble Box. A beat-em-up game with characters made of cubes and spheres, cel-shaded graphics and a cool mechanic whereby the parts of your bested opponents assist you in your climb to the top — what’s not to like?

Robotology: Metaphysical

Apologies for the continued infrequency of posting, it’s been non-stop deadlines for the past several weeks. woooooo! exhausting. By mid-September we should be able to move N+ work to part-time and return to Robotology in earnest.. finally! Writing this post is somewhat frustrating as it just serves as a reminder of what we should have [...]

Robotology, the end of the end of the beginning of the story thus far.

Assuming you’ve read the first post in this gripping two-part tale, we’ll just get straight to the goods: how things went.
After some very brief tests, we rejected (1) methods altogether. To be fair we didn’t really give them an honest chance, as past experience with (1a) made us feel that that sort of system is [...]

Robotology, the beginning of the end of the beginning of the story thus far.

This will hopefully be the final “retrospective” Robotology post, with future posts concerning what we’re currently working on rather than what we have worked on. EDIT: this post was too damn long, so it looks like it will have to be a two-parter.. hence the absolutely hilarious title.
Previously we mentioned the first of our physics [...]

Robotology: the story thus far, part the third.

Time’s starting to get tight around here due to a bunch of N+ related deadlines.. however we’re going to do our best to keep this delicious blog from getting too stale.
Let’s just backtrack a bit. This was almost exactly a year ago:

we made all sorts of soft-collision/simple physics experiments (as mentioned previously)

we banged out [...]

Robotology: the story thus far, part deux

One caveat on the following: it all seems to be written in the past tense, but this shouldn’t be mistaken as an indication that things have changed in the present! Past tense just seems more suitable for telling a tale that’s over a year old. Once again, apologies for not starting this blogging process sooner!
The [...]

Robotology: the story thus far

This post is the first of a series wherein we’ll try to get everyone up to speed on what the hell we’ve been doing in the 3 years which have elapsed since we made N.
Also, we’re new to this whole blogging thing, so please bear with us as we attempt to find a suitable writing [...]
