I’m sorry.. I lied. My previous post dated back at the beginning of the year saying I should post more.. and here we are in October and nothing has been posted.

I have been busy though. I’ve been involved in an open source project called pioneer. It is a open ended space simulator set in the milky way in the 31st century. If you have played previous games such as Frontier: Elite II then it should be rather familiar.

What has my role been with the project? Well since my primary machine is running OSX, and at the time (back in April 2011) the project didn’t have an OSX port, I ported pioneer to OSX. I have also done some tinkering with the engine and testing with the dev team.

You can always download the latest version of pioneer (as of this post, alpha15 was just released) – If you want bleeding edge we also do a nightly dev build.

On a final note, I do intend to write more up on my blog.. not that my ‘promise’ means much.
