Bye Piers!

This is Piers, camera man to the stars (of Dare) and also Akon (who actually is a star). He wields the awesome power of the video camera, and after a brief bit of e-digging, also did loads of other interesting stuff.

Today was our last video shoot as it were and having seen the other guys causally lent against burnt cars and against demo pods, were quite relieved to have ours in the EA shop. Ross was actually trying to get us to do it in the toilet but thats... well creepy.

It went really well and was a nice little look back on our time at Dare and gave us the chance to say thanks to people as well as call out fellow honkies zerO.One to a drinking contest. I mean they're Irish how hard-core can they be :)

It'll be really cool to see the result. We promised Piers a post Dare exclusive should we win anything and / or a "Dare: Behind the Game" style documentary, he also seemed genuinely interested in games which was cool so hopefully it wont be the last we see of him.

Oh yeah the whole making a game thing - well today we were a bit fractured in the morning as we all decided to drop our stuff off over the weekend to avoid it being a mare this week, so myself and Rowen missioned it about doing A) ghetto laptop repairs (compressed air and heat board ftw) and B) looking into getting our promo materials sorted. Mmmm 2040 + packets of Love Hearts.

Other than that its business as usual, island is now completely tied up, weighing in at 20% less polys thanks to Ross. We also have a textured and signed sea world and other bits and pieces. Vegetation keeps going in as well as all our awesome nudgeables and epic crab.

We've been having a bit of a mare with Visual Studio 2003 and its phantom first disc and we had another visit from Ian from Lionhead to add to our fantastic weekend focus testing. So were still going, to quote the Zapper:

If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!
