We just realised. None of our programmers has a beard. Not one.
That can't be right, surely?
Still, the Art & QA teams make up for it.

Children, children!
Whose clever idea was it to label one section of the issues database Features Awaiting Redesign and Testing, purely so that all suggestions for improvement can be labelled FARTs?

Triangles of Power!
How to make life complicated for your development team. Give them conflicting instructions.
The pictures on the walls were taken from the Web. Everything else in this scene is made with standard Moviestorm assets and 1.1 preview 3. It's not about taste, it's about testing.
So they came up with these neat little triangles on the main control buttons that access the tools you need less often.
Attached to the "save" button, the "save as" feature makes a very welcome return. You have no idea how much you miss something like this until it's gone, do you? Along the same lines, we've also brought in a feature to copy a scene, which is great for experimentation or anything involving match-moving. And one more subtle change we've made is that we don't create a saved movie directory until you actually save it, so you don't end up with My Movie, part 97 cluttering up your hard disk.
- Simplify the user interface.
- Give me more functionality.

You can tell release is near when...
... you overhear the following exchange.
Ben: Rendering isn't exactly going as well as I might have wished.
Dave: In what way?
Ben: Like Matt said, but without so much French.
Dave: Hmmm. Any ideas, anyone?
twak: No, but I suspect I'm guilty... It's all gone a bit Friday.
Moviestorm's new look
Every time I fire up Moviestorm these days, it looks different. Here's how the main menu has changed over just the last few weeks. It feels like using a whole new app. Great work by Mitch and his crew.
Moviestorm version 1.0.4 (18 April 2008)
Moviestorm version 1.1 Preview 2 (July 4 2008)
Moviestorm 1.1 Preview 3 (current dev build, 11 July 2008)
What you can't see is that the "film strip" in the middle moves. It's cute.
