Rogério Perdiz is an animator from Portugal. After 19 months and 7 days of work on his animation ‘Orion Tear’, he has now published it. It’s an impressive piece of work, and even more so if you realise this was all done by one man.

Blitz3D is a “simple yet powerful environment for game creation – simple, because its based around the popular and easy to use BASIC programming language; and powerful, thanks to a highly optimized underlying 2D/3D engine.” (marketing blurb from their website).

So far, the results have always been both surprising and inspiring.
