We are happy to release so-needed update to our first game – Mars Miner. It fixes pretty common bug connected with Zip.dll library we were using – which was stopping a lot of players from trying our game, specially on newer OS like Windows 7 or Windows XP 64 bit.
Also, it adds a couple of smaller balance and misc changes.

I have done new version of video for FDMPro.com online football manager. It’s more dynamic and twice shorter (that was needed to save some time for whole presentation).
We didn’t win at SeedCamp this time, but still it was great experience for our team.
A little more than week ago I with my friends from FDMPro.com have taken part in Seedcamp.
It was really nice, filled with great experience two days in our native Kiev town. We had a chance to meet a lot of interesting teams from all over the world and masters of their own business, which were our mentors for that period.
Here is video presentation of FDream online football manager I have done for Seedcamp. We had really tight deadline, but I like final result:
BTW, we have won it (in Ukraine it was a selection part) and our team should show polished FDream project again in September in London.
At last I have some free time to prepare and upload my animation online.
It’s CG music video for song “He is Hacker” of Ukrainian music band “Bottle Green”. Leader of the band is the friend of mine so I created this animation almost for free in my spare time.

Almost everything was done by me during last year and rendered in December. Final cut with some post-fx was done in January of 2008 with help of my friend Vadim.
Update: my video was mentioned at 3DTotal.com which is really popular 3D resource.
Some additional details and Low-resolution YouTube variant of the video are under cut…
