The people from glass magazine invited me to write about space and distance in relation to my project80Days (oehm) project. Read it here

Yes, 2nd October is a week back and the launched site is in full go.
The lauch event ws a blast and thanks again for all attending and supporting.(see photos below)

Still quite a few tweaks ahead, mainly to the unsuspected pull of google-maps’ support of AS2 just a week before launch (really , what?)
Features are constantly added, the travel tool got a complete revamp and for now, we are using Bing-maps. Possibly will swap back to google or maybe even try to head for the development of a complete self-made tile set, who knows…

So without much further ado, please enjoy the new project80Days.com, test and comment and enjoy like hell….

Friday beta launch at the fleapit in columbia road , London from 6:30 pm

See you there!

Since a few hours ago, the beta is live!

project80Days.com

is fully functional and ready to receive travellers who can take a challenge.

Just to let you guys out there know, the gamma is developing nicely, including a complete revamp of the diary (code – wise) and new featires have been added (like referential messaging, etc.) So stay tuned, I am pretty sure july will see the beta coming out.

yes there are still bugs left right and front, but thankfully most of them are on a visual level. So for everyone, who is following this, yes i am talking about you Tyrone, the beta should easily be coming for july, how cool is that?

My fellow readers, (you still there?) yesterday at about 20:00 May 13, 2009 I finally had my first finished trip around the world in-game. It was a moment of joy. It felt very strange after such a long time (and essentially about 70+ developers days only though), to have it all work. Now the only thing thats left is all details to make it more user-friendly, add heaps of design and work heavily on the community presence of the site and then it’s “hello beta!”. I hope to still get the ‘gamma’ version out this month.

A very nice blog not to miss reading, strangemaps.

Interesting article about the liberality of APIs , google’s in particular.
How free is free, from a design point of view
