The Story So Far...

30/08/10: The End Is Nigh... Time to tie up the series - the first chapter (pre-1982) and final chapter (post-1990 and retroscene) are going to be developed back-to-back. After that, there will be no more! Ten years is long enough to spend on one project :) Plus I'm now looking at more mainstream uses for my animations - I find this animation for Mitchell and Webb rather inspiring. Need to do some work with moving characters though.
27/08/10: 1990's ready for download! Meanwhile, I've been doing some research for the next chapter, The Inevitable Prequel which covers pre-1982. Early days yet, and I'm not sure what format it will take, but the documentary continues.
25/08/10: After a brief delay due to "stuff" (Real Life and otherwise), it's now at the stage where there's nothing else to do but build the soundtrack - and I have the songs I want to use ripped to WAV files already. Just need to edit it all together now - stay tuned...
31/07/10: The draft version of the 1990 chapter is currently being built - nothing more to do apart from the final tweaks and the soundtrack :)
12/07/10: The first screenshot :) ![]()
11/07/10: Things are moving quickly - taking footage of SAM Coupe games turned out to be simpler than I thought, and I'm now at the stage where I have all the in-game footage I need and am powering through the other animations. Can't really find an opportunity for a fancy 3D animation within this chapter as there's a lot of things to show and tell - maybe a very short one towards the end. The intro will be in 3D, of course. Whisper it quietly, but it could be done by the end of this month...
04/07/10: The rubber's hitting the road now! The intro animation is done, the game footage has been acquired and is about to be edited together. Only a few other things to do and then it's ready for an August release. Hopefully.
22/04/10: Three months pass...
30/01/10: As the Xmas Special DVD ISO went down pretty well, I've created another DVD ISO containing just the 1982-1989 regular chapters. The picture clarity is amazing, especially during the 3D sections. The DVD ISO is 1.3GB in size, so is only available via BitTorrent, but I've also uploaded the high-quality videos to YouTube too. More details in the Downloads page.
14/01/10: The regular VCD MPEGs are now available to download via normal means. The DVD ISO and the new all-in-one VCD MPEG will still be BitTorrent-only as they're so big, but you can now download the Special in five parts.
03/01/10: The movie's been finalised, it's 39m11s long, and you can currently download a 1.2GB DVD ISO image via BitTorrent. It'll be a slow download, but it's the option which gives you the best quality image. More download options to come...
