Even though 48Hours’ results have been announced, I got an email yesterday from Steve the Christchurch’s 48 manager, that our team have won the best animation category in Christchurch, and so we are still in contention for the nation-wide animation award. It’s great news, though I don’t know, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is largely due to the fact that our team is the only animation team in Christchurch. Anyway, still feel quite lucky.

On other fronts, the development of ZenCub3d still goes on, even though losing some traction due to the random happens in entrepreneurs’ lives in the last month or so. We have identified the cause of a few mysterious bugs that have eluded us for a while, so the debugging team is dispatched, fully equipped and on their way. The next release mainly focuses on bug fixing, so not much changes in terms of features is expected. Oh yeah, curved waypoints have been in our development branch for a while, so if it reaches a stable enough status you guys might see it in the next release. We’ll certainly post some videos on it when it’s ready.

Lastly, votely on BitFilm is slowly coming to an end. I got an email from them inviting me to attending the award ceremony in Hamburg, and as much as I ‘LOVE’ taking 40+ hour flights to Europe, I had to turn it down since alot of ThinkingCactus internal stuff is happening this half of the year. But nevertheless, have a look at our nominated entry and consider voting for us if you think we deserve it
