Hello. My name is Václav Vančura.

MumboJumboT: Day 1

Ok, here’s the last day’s news digest on the MumboJumboT project.

Unfortunately on the first day I was not really working as hard as I would need. Mainly because I finished a large project yesterday morning and I was not so fresh. I need to concentrate more during next few days, so I won’t be a promising looser.

But there were few things I’ve successfully done. First, I made a Twitter account. Pretty sweet, huh :]

Then there was the logotype. The application is based on a concept of a robot blabbing nonsense. Because I’ll use Away3D library, everything will be somewhat raw – boxes and angles everywhere. That should be OK for a robot, except Eva from Wall-E nearly all robots are made of boxes.

Logo

I was not entirely happy with boxy look, so I needed to make it softer somehow. Hence I added the key to the right side. My robot, MumboJumboT, will have a similar key, hopefully rotating while playing.

Twitter

Then I needed to come up with a Twitter background and of course an avatar. Here’s a screenshot of current state of MumboJumboT’s Twitter home:

As promised, here you can have PSDs I created.

Source code

Yesterday I was also happy to prepare a functional AIR source base I can use now. It’s deployed to the GitHub repo I’ve prepared for the project.

So now it’s the second day and I need to continue. Today I want to prepare all graphics assets I will need. Watch the MumboJumboT’s Twitter stream at @mumbojumbot for more information about the progress.

Update

MumboJumboT project is done. Read more here.
