What a proposterus idea!! No one programming for the Yaroze??

I am trying to get a half decent platformer game up and running both for the
2D Tutorial and hopefully as a release (my first ACTUAL game). MonkyRegs has
taken a back seat because I'm at the stage with it where I need to get
animations into it. I'm going to write a TMD and TOD exporter from MilkShape
(maybe even 3ds max) so that I can get the models straight into my game. I
was also thinking of doing my own 3D animation routines instead of using the
TOD ones (which I havn't even looked at yet - but I believe they use
multiple geometries of the same model to implement animation, I'm going to
try skeletal animation).

I suppose we have some consolation in that fact that the PS2 can play
ordinary PSOne games so at least we could try to convince some mag to put
our games on a PS2 mag... or is that already the case??? Hmm...

Max
