Gameware Studio Diary

Fri Mar 05, 2004 - Hi, Dylan here!

This is my first entry on the diary. As you may be aware, we've had our heads down working solidly on the BAMZOOKi project for as long as I can remember; only now have I got a chance to say "Hi!" out there.

We've completed the BAMZOOKi Zook Kit and it will be available for free download from the BBC website on Monday. We're quite pleased with the results; both the TV series - which is an excellent laugh to watch - and the Zook Kit. People in the UK will be able to judge the series for themselves. As for the Zook Kit - everyone will be able to download that come Monday afternoon and start creating. Although only kids can participate on thc CBBC website I'm sure sites will pop up for everyone else (me included!) to exchange hints, tips, ideas and even Zooks. In fact we're bound to provide a load of useful information here on our site and maybe you'll find some interesting chat in the forums. You're going to need a reasonably decent PC and graphics card to run the software on but, hey, we're talking cutting-edge technology here, so that's not too much to expect, is it!

There's certainly an air of expectation here at Gameware that is palpable. We're all very excited at the prospect of seeing our hard work make it onto the television screens. It's actually been a long and tortuous journey that we've been on to get us here but I won't bore you with the details ;) Many have come and gone along the way; however, the core are here and more dedicated than ever.

... all I have to do now is sort out one of these new fangled digital aerials and, with a bit of luck, I'll be able to kick back in the office and watch the series from my desk.

Catch you lot laters,
Dylan
