Wijitmaker Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 This individual has been awarded the following due to outstanding accomplishments as the 0 A.D. Staff Member for the month of October:Jan Wassenberg (aka janwas): Jan has always been a sure and steady hand in the programmers department, doing the work that seems to be rarely mentioned in these monthly reports because they are mostly bugfixes and numerous additions to the low level code that is hard for most readers to grasp. Yet, without his hard work we would be frustrated beyond belief. Jan also played a large role in the hiring process for the latest recruitement job. Thanks Jan!

Wijitmaker Posted November 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Why thank you We probably won't post a screenshot of the ship because we are still working on issues of scale for ships and we'll wait till our water can do some neat sky reflection effects and bump mapping (which it doesn't at the moment).
