Spoiler:
[19:56] <Bigcheecho> Hallo
[19:57] <Bigcheecho> Is mat^2 actually the one and only Mathias Kærlev?
[19:58] <mat^2> the only one!
[19:58] <Bigcheecho> PROOF
[19:58] <ThisFrickinSite> Why would it not be?
[19:58] == Triplefox [~chatzilla@172-6-83-15.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net] has joined #buildandshoot
[19:58] <Bigcheecho> Fine, I believe you, Mathias.
[19:58] <Bigcheecho> Why did you and Ben sell the game to Jagex anyway, mathias?
[19:59] * Triplefox starts the campfire o-o
[19:59] <`10se1ucgo`> i dunno i heard ben had financial problems.
[19:59] <Bigcheecho> The one and only mat^2 is here!
[19:59] * ThisFrickinSite douses it as there probably isn't going to be an answer.
[19:59] <Bigcheecho> K.
[20:00] <Bigcheecho> Darn city boys and their NDAs!
[20:01] <Bigcheecho> So, Mathias, do you have a download link for the Ace of Spades OpenGL (not Jagex's version, but your actually good one)
[20:02] <`10se1ucgo`> doubt it
[20:02] == `10se1ucgo` [~10se1ucgo@the10se1ucgo.users.quakenet.org] has quit [Signed off]
[20:02] == Purple [webchat@ip72-208-67-234.ph.ph.cox.net] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[20:02] <Bigcheecho> OK...
[20:04] == AcornSpades [webchat@host86-159-241-80.range86-159.btcentralplus.com] has quit [Ping timeout]
[20:04] <Bigcheecho> So, Mr. Kærlev, what are your future plans for Ben and your's company?
[20:04] <Triplefox> i didn't know they had a company
[20:05] <mat^2> we don't
[20:05] <mat^2> I think Ben is out travelling somewhere
[20:05] <Bigcheecho> Oh... it got bankrupt?
[20:05] <Bigcheecho> Oh.
[20:05] <mat^2> are you referring to SoCa? that was a studio owned by Jagex
[20:06] <Triplefox> ben went to the shaolin temple, when he returns he'll be like one-punch man
[20:06] <Bigcheecho> No, I mean Fort Point Studios
[20:06] <mat^2> oh
[20:06] <mat^2> that was Ben's one-man studio, I tihnk
[20:06] <mat^2> *think
[20:06] <Bigcheecho> I mean Fort Point Solutions
[20:06] <Bigcheecho> Oh.
[20:06] <Triplefox> i think it was just a consulting shop yeah
[20:07] <Bigcheecho> So, how did you get involved into Ace of Spades?
[20:07] <mat^2> pyspades \o/
[20:08] <Bigcheecho> OK.
[20:08] <mat^2> I joined the devteam while SoCa was just starting up
[20:08] <Bigcheecho> So... what's life been like since Jagex fired you and Ben?
[20:08] <mat^2> "fired"?
[20:09] <Bigcheecho> I mean when you two left from Jagex
[20:09] <Bigcheecho> Misworded, sorrt
[20:09] <Bigcheecho> *sorry
[20:09] <mat^2> I left to focus on Knytt Underground
[20:09] <mat^2> and some other projects
[20:10] <Triplefox> I should turn my heartbreaker remake into a team project...that'd make it a lot more "real"
[20:10] <Bigcheecho> Awesome. I'm watching the trailer for Knytt
[20:10] <mat^2> I think Ben was fairly stressed out in the end, and he didn't really feel comfortable with Jagex
[20:10] <Triplefox> as it is i spend too much time on iceball
[20:11] <mat^2> Triplefox, oh?
[20:11] <mat^2> I still don't understand why Iceball doesn't use a hardware renderer
[20:11] <Triplefox> gm is very nih
[20:11] <Bigcheecho> I wouldn't blame Ben for being angry at Jagex.
[20:11] <Triplefox> that's basically the only reason why
[20:12] <mat^2> ah
[20:12] <Triplefox> however he responds to criticism so i think it'll change eventually
[20:12] <mat^2> it just sounds like you want to make an engine rather than a game :p
[20:12] <Bigcheecho> Jagex added a classic mode to their version of Ace of Spades, which is not that bad.
[20:13] <Triplefox> basically my goal was to get the stuff behind the scenes started in the right direction
[20:13] <Triplefox> but all the early tech decisions turned into a lot of reinvention
[20:13] <Triplefox> kind of frustrating, but we're most of the way through it
[20:13] <Triplefox> oh and i regret ever recommending lua, don't want to use it in a game again
[20:14] <Bigcheecho> Hopefully they'll continue to keep classic mode like it's meant to be instead of adding some ridiculous OP thing, like... I don't know, an airstrike?
[20:14] <mat^2> oh?
[20:14] <mat^2> I've tried Lua before for a few game projects
[20:14] <mat^2> I don't like the language
[20:14] <mat^2> so I stopped using it as well
[20:14] <Triplefox> the language is consistent, but it requires too much discipline from the dev
[20:14] <Bigcheecho> I don't know any programming languages, unless Scratch counts as a programming language.
[20:14] <mat^2> it's good because it's small (and fast with LuaJIT)
[20:15] <Triplefox> it'd be the bee's knees if this were the 1970's
[20:15] <Bigcheecho> Yeah... an era without the internet which was invented by the British.
[20:17] <Bigcheecho> I wonder why nobody else is talking to the one and only Mathias Kærlev?
[20:17] <Triplefox> when someone is here all the time they stop being a celebrity
[20:18] <mat^2> is that my new title? it's probably a little pretentious
[20:18] <mat^2> :)
[20:18] <Bigcheecho> Maybe, maybe not.
[20:18] <ThisFrickinSite> I just don't have anything to say.
[20:18] <Bigcheecho> My dad is watching Howcast in the background, BTW.
[20:19] <Bigcheecho> Something to do with economic collapse or something.
[20:19] <mat^2> I'm working on a voxel editor by the way -> http://mp2.dk/st17.png
[20:19] <Bigcheecho> Anyways, back on topic. Why did you leave, Mat?
[20:20] <Bigcheecho> Nice...
[20:20] <Triplefox> pretty nice. did you get in contact with voxatron guy?
[20:20] <mat^2> ah, no
[20:20] <mat^2> I figured I'd just do something myself
[20:20] <Bigcheecho> OK, then.
[20:20] <Triplefox> heh. ok
[20:20] <mat^2> Bigcheecho, I left to work on Knytt Underground and some other projects
[20:20] <Bigcheecho> Bye, then
[20:20] <Bigcheecho> Nice meeting you!
