Hello World!

For starters, this blog is intended for myself, as a notepad where i can remember and come back to all those quirky nasty thingies ive come across when programming videogames. In particular, the horrible path from PC / Linux 3d game developing to IOS 3d game developing.

I am cofounder and CTO of Hollow Games, a small videogame company, Mexico City based.
Elias Kuri and I started this company in 2011, with nothing, except some experience at VR and a few grand (MEXICAN PESOS!).

We started out programming for PC, but in the midst of that development, we were forced to move all out technology, and develop and all new 3d game for IOS.

Ive never been to fond of apples products (nowdays I live and sleep surrounded by them), and I have never despised them that much, but surely enough, Ive never been to close to them. I had programmed 3d before in SGI, Solaris, all flavours of Linux, and Windows, BUT NEVER in an apple product. So, migrating my technology and developing an all new 3d game in IOS, was, PAINFUL, to say the least.

All those problems, big and small I have come accross, all that boureaucracy that you must face when programming for iphone, wants to be written here... for myself, and if it may help somebody else, what the better!


As this is a Hello World blog entry, I will give some details about myself.

My name is Daniel Rodil.

I am mexican and live in mexico... in fact, im in love with my country... i lived in UK for a few years, and have travelled as far as i have been able... but still my home is and will be mexico.

I am not a native english speaker, but my blog will be written in english, that way, more people can access it... so any misspellig or gramatical error, is completely normal.

I am and have been so since the beginning of the project, the only programmer and visual designer of Hiperbolia, a VR Mathematical application, that is basically a hyperbollic space renderer. HIPERBOLIA WEBPAGE

My first videogame, was an edducational videogame for kids born with HIV.

Ive had many jobs and projects during my life, most of them are not worth talking about, but my basic skills aside from videogameprogramming are:

drawing/painting
digital painting
video editing and institutional video
3d modeling and animating
2d animation
architeture software
automatic data cleansing

and thats basically it....

 If you ARE reading this blog, do let me know, coz honestly, i dun think anyone will read this first entry.
