Re: [Super-tux-devel] Super(Fat)Tux

[Christopher A. W. <cr...@li...>]

    Hello... assuming someone wasn't duping your email address in
sending that, I'd like to give a reply.  SuperTux has begun to take a
different different direction over the last month, and the "geek humor"
of the game is being entirely removed.  I don't expect you'd kept quite
updated with all the SuperTux news, so I understand how you may not have
noticed such.
    Ingo, myself, and a few other artists have been working on new
graphics for the game.  If you would like to take a look at the new
direction we are heading, Ingo has a mockup of the game here:
http://super-tux.sourceforge.net/milestone1/images/supertux-gamescreen.jpg 
This was decided quite a bit ago, but it is a transitional process.  We
have been working on replacing the BSODs with snowballs, the laptops
with ice blocks, and such.  The reason for this is that the team
(mostly) agreed that the game needed to be good in its own right, and
not because it was Microsoft bashing, or whatever.
    So you asked, what would Tux be doing once he got to Redmond?  The
answer is simply, nothing.  He isn't going there any more, and in fact,
he hasn't been planning to go there for quite a while.  And in regards
to your joke about Tux being very fat, yes, he is very conscientious
about that.  He wants to go on a diet, but he loves herring so much, I
just don't know if it is going to happen any time soon.
    Any way, hope that answers a few things, and sorry about any
confusion.

Regards,
Christopher Allan Webber
