Big Brother IS watching you

Here at Moviestorm Towers, we're always striving for greater realism. And as we stroll innocently through the streets of Cambridge, minding our own business, we can't help noticing the way our benevolent rulers and retail environment owners have placed cameras everywhere to keep us safe from the foul miscreants who would destroy our civilisation. It makes us happy to know that our every action is being watched and recorded so that we can prove our innocence should we need to, and it makes us feel good to know that we are doing our bit to help our heroic law enforcement officials in their fight against terrorrorororrism. And we know you feel the same way too.



So here you go. Security cameras. Moving, blinking, and remembering everything you do, just like the real thing. So no more excuses of "I didn't touch anything, it just crashed." We can see your keyboard, so we know you hit the magic CTRL-ALT-7 combination that causes everything to go slow.* And we can see what you're doing while you wait for your movies to render.



They'll be part of the Criminals pack. Which will be out... altogether now... when it's ready!

*Oh come on, don't tell me you actually tried it, did you? You did? Mwahaha!

Back to work, minions!

The guys and gals have had a well-deserved half-hour off after getting 1.0.4 out the door, and we even kindly gave them a celebratory packet of chocolate biscuits (apart from twak who's not allowed human-type food). While they were out enjoying our phenomenal largesse, this is what we wrote on the whiteboard for them to do next.
  • Complete overhaul of camera system
  • Mark's sexy walks
  • Make the men look as good as the women
  • Face morphing
  • Character shop redesign
  • Improve the improvisor (Or is that improvise the improver?)
  • Better facial expressions
  • XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (That one's still a secret, sorry! We have to have some surprises up our sleeves!)
  • Crime (That's a content pack, not our new business model. Probably.)
That should keep them busy and out of that nasty sunlight for a while!
