Then I grew another year older (boo!) which involved going away for a day and playing with tanks. I ended up sitting in the gunners seat of a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Challenger_2\">British Challenger II tank<\/a>, which was surreal, awesome, and when the guide starts talking about its planned role in nuclear war, kinda scary.<\/p>\n<p>Then&#8230; I went away another night to nottinghame game city, met up with various people from game dev that I&#8217;ve met over the years, and bizzarely took part in a panel-discussion thing with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feargal_Sharkey\">feargal sharky<\/a> and phil oliver from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blitzgamesstudios.com\/about_us\/\">blitz games<\/a>. I&#8217;d link to a video of it, but I haven&#8217;t seen it on the web yet (pls post a link if you find one).<\/p>\n<p>In between all this GSB got updated to version 1.20, which was buggy, and immediately afterwards today to 1.21, which I trust is less buggy.<\/p>\n<p>That version is very very very close to what I hope is the &#8216;final&#8217; release version of the game. I have a playable demo setup running already (although it needs work). Don&#8217;t panic, that doesn&#8217;t mean the game will not continue to get updates and improvements, and expansions blah blah, it absolutely definitely will.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in about a weeks time, I move house and knowing the incompetence of UK companies, I&#8217;ll lose internet access for a few days.
