Dude don't make me break out my 1st edition of Hyperspin from years ago. Hehe:)
Lol I didn't mean to sound like I was the first to do it. But I admit it was a shock to see another FE using Flash animation. The difference is though I don't use flash I wrote all the animation routines in DirectX from scratch using Flash as my inspiration. So as to the first person to do it it's obviously you because you released a beta and I haven't
I think we are on the same page which is good, and as I said I want to take Razor down a different road and I certainly don't want to be a HyperSpin clone. The animation engine helps but it's not what makes it unique anymore. So as any other creative person like yourself would do, I'll be trying a different angle. Maybe I'll be an inspiration for you
As for the artwork, well I have made quite a collection of png's myself which was alot of work. I don't really see skins the same way I see logos and characters. I think skins are a personal expression that should stay that way for the medium they were created for. But logo's and things like that I think are something worth sharing and working together on. That being said I personally wouldn't mind if Cakemeister wrote an importer for my skin format. In fact I'm sure I would help him out if he asked. I just think that is what he wants to do with his FE and I support him on that.
BTW I think it was quite amusing that we both mentioned a "one way street". Hehe so again we are definately seeing eye to eye here. I don't want people taking my hard work and expecting nothing in return. Communities should not work like that.
My bottom line is I want people to get along and enjoy doing what they do. Things like CPWizard and LEDBlinky are purposely written to support any FE. And I really like how it bridges the invisible barrier people seem to make when it comes to FE's. I like to think we can all get along and contribute together. Sounds gay I know but it's how I feel (maybe I was a hippie in a past life or something) lol
