But Kendall has a huge assembly project due, I have an assembly project, a networking project, and a QT project due every week now. College is starting to kill us.

We work on ES whenever we have a minute to spare, though. And yes, we have started recording ESR2. And no, we don't know when it will be done.

Thanks for the update :D

Glad to hear that :D

Status: Pleased with update

Engine is virtually done? Wow that was fast... I was expecting to see some videos here and there as the engine was being worked on, but then again I expected the process to take much longer. Awesome, can't wait to see some of the results.

Yeah, that was the original plan.

...but as time went on, things changed. I decided that I would rather record things that people hadn't seen before, and introduce new features rather than "here is <insert here> implemented in the new engine." Nobody can see any difference in an engine rewrite unless it provides something that the old engine didn't.

I want to do take the project and the videos to the next level. In order to do the engine rewrite can't just be done. We have to show you the reason we wanted to rewrite it.

That's really amazing progress, well done. I hate to see ppl bitchin at you guys about not releasing videos when they have no idea how much you've actually got done. Well i'm impressed anyway

Sweet! This was a lot more than I expected to hear. Thank you very much for he reply... Was it becaus that was officially a bitch? And yeah I saw your facebook status about the four projects, that really sucks...

You have no idea.

And people wonder why I'm an asshole to subscribers sometimes.

It's pretty hard to constantly be bitched at to release a video when you're working your ass off on the product to get it to a point that you're proud to show off. Even worse yet is that 90% of the people bitching at me are either kids or people living at home with their parents who have no idea how hard it is to pursue your ambitions, make it through engineering school with decent grades, and enjoy your life with your girlfriend.

I'm not sure about other people (mainly the non-programmer subscribers), but I would definitely be interested in a comparison video showing off the code improvements in the new engine over the old one along-side the actual visual results of the rewrite. Of course I'm not expecting you to post a bunch of source code, but an overview of your implementations would be sweet IMO.

Like a list of what's running faster/better in the rewritten engine.

I'm wondering if/how much PSP you got implemented, I do recall from the Rev vids that you were concentrating on DC/PC first. Either way, a show of how the Gyrolib is being used etc, would be much appreciated and popcorn worthy. :D

GOOD.

I worked my ass off on libGyro, somebody had better looking forward to hearing about it. As for what's running on what... my mouth is closed. I'm not saying anything.

The rewrite wasn't really for speed. As a matter of fact, the new engine is probably going to run slower overall (despite doing lots of things more efficiently) just because of all the new/complex things. 60fps is 60fps.

yeah cant wait to see the updates and new stuff you have added.

Yeah, well, we did come to the decision to post like, textual bi-weekly updates in the news, but we keep letting that slip. Probably because you want things in the videos to be new, not a video version of the news page... which I totally get.

Just wanted to say that the engine and libGyro sounds sweet

Looking forward to a new video when ever it comes

Keep it up and good luck with school and ES
