I had an idea of a flash site. A huge one, so huge that it’s unlikely possible for me alone to finish it in a reasonable amount of time. I will have to do not only coding but a lot of 2d/3d graphics, design and music composing. I don’t believe that one person could ever do something like that until I saw these movies.
The first one took 8 years to be complete.
The second one took 7 years.
Both of them were done by a single person. Now I believe that it IS possible.
Though, animation is not like flash sites. Flash is evolving too fast…
I know a bit of Erlang but decided to learn Scala. So I researched a bit comparing these two languages. These links might be helpful if you are deciding Erlang or Scala.
This (unlike the previous game I posted) is a really nice flash game. It is safe for work and has unique atmosphere. Just to relax a bit without violence.
I don’t understand internal algorithms. Most of codes are just rewritten from NyARToolkit.(Java ported version of ARToolKit)…
This quote is from private mail and probably shouldn’t have been published, but anyway this is so funny. The guy talks at conferences, thousands of flash developers use his library but he has no idea how the stuff works. That’s sad.
BUT, Saqoosha did great job promoting Augmented Reality within Flash community. So we can forgive him.
Well, I just leveled up to 25 in MMO game called Life. Yet another birthday, I am too old already and this day seems less and less of a holiday for me. I think that it’s not really a good idea to try to summarize what you have done since the last birthday. Probably because usually there’s not much stuff you can remember and be proud of, but anyway I’ll try.
This is the second time in a row I’m celebrating this day far from home. But if last time I didn’t see anything good coming in the nearest future, today I’m inspired and filled with creative energy. I can say that I’m 80% happy no matter what.
During this year I learned a lot in almost every field I’m interested in. I definitely was an information sponge, I don’t know when I will have time again for that. But in the next few months I will be able to use for good this information I stockpiled. I traveled a bit, I met new friends and lost some weight. But what’s really important I learned several life lessons, some of them were tough and painful, though I had to go through this. And now I feel that I really grew up.
This year passed too fast but it was really important for me. And I want the next ones to be even more important in my life till the age of 35 when I can finally rest.
Can you imagine that there were times without blogs? Nowadays everyone and their grandma has a blog (or 5 blogs like me). During 2000-2004 I’d been trying to invent blogs and failed. Yep, if you didn’t know I had one of the best inspiration blogsnews sites on the web at valyard.ru and valyard.com…
My main problem was that I tried to post news issues every day with new cool sites. There just wasn’t that many flash sites around. During that period I didn’t have much time and heavy flash sites required a lot of money to download on a modem connection. What’s more I didn’t have much feedback. As like nobody cared. But later I found out that they did care…
Several times during that period I had to stop posting and close the site. If only I got the concept of modern blogs… If only there was RSS widespread at that time… But blogs and RSS became popular only when I gave up and stopped posting at all.
I remember I saw TheFWA growing. I bet my site was at least as popular as Rob’s, but where is TheFWA and where’s me right now…
And now googling my nickname you still can find posts on other old blogs about me.
One of the coolest Flash blogs disappeared because of lack of feedback a while back – and is back now: valyard|ru
Lets try to keep Valyard inspired, the work he does is so good for showing the united creativity of the Flash community – we can’t afford to loose him again :-) February 22, 2003 on jdb
I’m happy to hear that valyard is back with a new site. As you might remember he has a great talent for finding those special sites that make your jaw drop. Welcome home! February 17, 2003 on Quasimondo
So, the site that went down to much dismay of the Flash community is coming back. The site used to sport many interesting sites, cool design sites, useful ones and entertaining ones. Valyard was down for quite sometime and it is making a come back soon, it says 2 days in its countdown. February 15, 2003 on Brajeshwar
I wish I could go back to year 2000…
And what’s about you, do you remember the old valyard|ru back then?
I didn’t even know there was a review like that of the site I launched early 2008. Huge thanks to the guys at Jivemug blog though it seems dead.
All-in-all this is a beautiful site! Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, and an amazing use of ActionScripting that makes you want to scream give me more! We give this site two thumbs up and suggest you visit it now if you haven’t already! Hope you enjoyed the review!
