With the release of Ubuntu Gutsy an updated package for Ogre 3D has been included so I have now been able to easily do game development on my main OS. Since my last posts I have been busy with life (as most people are). I moved to a different country and have continued on my university course. As always progress is slow.

Anyway, I like how elegant Ogre 3D is as an engine and although I have been making mistakes along the way (as you do in any development) I have enjoyed the ride.

In total I have probably only put in about 24 hours development time (minus the days the days of wondering why the models wouldn’t load properly) but in that time I have been able to recreate the Alpha crater and fly around in a silverY.
