well, took 5 hours to write my own morph plugin for max, but then took 2 days to change the pipeline, engine and animation for stream based morphing.
and so the first thing to make was a shalug, half shark, half slug. what else is morphing for, really.
have a lot of the art done, 2 models left to texture, 3 left to rig, then a whole butt load of animations, sounds and mission scripts, but everything is looking finishable, just wish it was finishable sooner. note to self, don't make so much…

The big difference to Monstar Dash, however, is…

Any new game announcement from Firemint is always anticipated, given the high standard of quality titles from the Melbourne games studio and for the fact that they've only released two titles for the iOS devices so far since the launch of their original 2009 hit title, Flight Control. Firemint certainly haven't been sitting on their laurels, however, as they've been preoccupied since with the big productions and highly acclaimed titles of Real Racing and Real Racing 2, as well as the many…
