Salsa_Shark

Mark joined Jan 1, 2009

Salsa_Shark is a screen name I started using in December of 2004, it comes from the 1994 movie Clerks. I'm Australian but my family's Italian, I'm named after the Roman general Mark Antony, I live in southeast regional Victoria. I'm a programmer by trade, but I also do modelling and texturing, as well as everything else in between. I'm a real firm believer in open source software as well as philosophy; I've always believed that knowledge is power and that knowledge should be free and shared amongst others. I'm a huge Rammstein fan! Just PM me if you want to know more... ;)

2011... *Ugh,

So it's been quite awhile since I made an update to anything, nothing much has been happening on Moddb lately, I think I remember seeing someone say; the communities become a bunch of lurkers, which I’ll admit I’m guilty of, I blame Facebook, from which I was recently conscripted in to signing up for. (You can add me if you want just pm me) I wish Moddb would update its comment/notification system.

EDIT: I think they are currently in the process of doing that :D

I’m in the middle of a thunderstorm; I just lost all my work >:(

Anyway, moving on, this is what I got up to in 2011,

I started work on a small Jet fighter game using the IrrLicht Engine.
Currently, you can move the jet with the mouse, and the background picture moves, the shadow effect is really cool.

I decided awhile back, to make the whole game using nothing but free software, as well as platform independent; I have also added a Multi-language user interface, and support for mods.

I haven’t committed 100% to it yet, but I was thinking if I was to continue with working on it, I might actually get it published, and sell it (since I’ve been out of work for quite awhile now), it might also prove to other company’s that open source software is profitable, from a small end business perspective...

Other projects

Oh yeah, so these were some screen shots from a game project I started back in 2008, it runs on a modified version of eduke32, the last time I did a build on the game was back in December of 2010, one week before my last computer died :(

The game was only one week away from alpha, I did do a fair amount of work on it, and I’m seriously considering going back to work on it, but I wanted to get the communities input, first, I’ve got heaps more screenshots of it.

So what do you think, is it worthy of its own Moddb page?

Somebody asked me about my computer,
