Joining the Journeyman Project Tribute Team

I was contacted recently by Andy Curry, the project leader for a remake of The Journeyman Project game.  Their needs seem to align with the goals of my Aware Engine so I have agreed to collaborate closely with them.

Andy is working on some cubic panorama renders that we can use to create a first tech. demo.  For now I'll be working on:
  • Supporting cubic panoramas in Aware Engine.  This should be easy as my envmap_viewer can already do it.  Perhaps the challenge will be minimizing the appearance of hair-line seams where the cube faces meet.  Some video cards seem to be more prone to this anomaly than others.
  • Getting Aware Engine compiled for the big three platforms (Win, Linux, Mac).  This is always a big time sink.  Eventually I'm thinking I'll even bundle JamVM to insulate us from Java installation and misconfiguration woes.  But not yet.
