The Game Plan

Though there isn't anything at this moment to unveil, I'm gonna go ahead and talk about the future of Deviant Core and how thinks are running at the moment. First of all, The GYZ compressor for iPhone port has a release candidate available from our repository. The release candidate is of course command line, as will be the final application. The first original release of Gyz4iPhone will include an API so to speak to allow for others to develop GUI applications for Gyz or incorporate it into an existing one. Next up, the Beta site is gonna be including some cool new features soon such as a login page, registration, account activation, profiles, statuses, and many more.The new features are most likely the closest to come, as I'm writing this while on a break from working on them. As for a more long-term goal for Deviant Core, we'll be developing a full-fledged 3D video game. Our current plans include the usage of the Unreal 3 engine but there is a possibility we will use the Source engine. The game itself is expected to be released in late 2010 or early 2011 and is running under the name "Project Deviance" being as the expected release title at the moment is "Deviance." The title is, of course, subject to change and we're sitting at the drawing board right now so there isn't much to talk about. For the record, the completion of this game was the New Year's resolution of all the Deviant Core developers. Speaking of which, we now have an official staff count of 3, all of which will be working on Project Deviance. Our new developers are Mitchell Andrews, who has been with us in spirit since he made our site a few months ago, and Steve, who though his last name shan't be revealed, is referred to as "Shadow" by myself and Mitchell (Mitch being referred to as "Grimm"). These changes have already been added to our site and with the coming of the New Year, our copyright information has been changed to 2010.

Well, I think this is the shortest post I've written... back to work on the site!
