Thanks for the shout out, and glad you liked it. Though I should really add proper instructions to the actual blog post, instead of making people go all the way to youtube to read the instructions.

Its kind of interesting you are a video game designer, since I'm studying to be a game programmer, and am into Open source and so on. Hopefully my MMO is the first quality MMO written entirely in Java and OpenGL. :)

Hey Alufei; small world! Are you studying game programming in school, or on your own time? I'd love to see a well-built Java/OpenGL MMO. The handful that are out there are really give the technologies a bad name.

Well I am studying general programming in school. C, C++, etc. But game programming is what I kinda want to get into. Yes I'm going to try and shoot for a quality Java/OpenGL MMO that I really hope I can get off the ground. Right now with my limited programming knowledge in general (I mean I can program real well and do some advanced things, but nothing on teh level of games yet) I have to wait a bit. I'm going to shoot for a AAA Java/OpenGL game if I can get backers once I start looking. Right now I am going to try and write as much as possible on my own and then probably see if I can get EA to help me or something. I used to QA Test professionally for them, and this summer I might start working as an Intern there as a game developer, so we will see.

I plan to use Project Darkstar, Ardor3D (similar to JMonkeyEngine), and see if I can implement Quel Solaar's Verse somehow to use as my base. Still have to talk to the author of Love to see how Verse works and what limitations it has.
