I Remember When.....

[Callie Cline]

i remember when equinox and i had a talk and we mentioned making some animals to give away to people, and i said, hmmm, "if i am going to work that hard, i'd want to get paid..." and then i said "hmm how about cats?" and she replied "oh i love cats, i'll ask my friend if they will script them!"

i remember writing her every few days asking "did you ask them yet?" and her saying "not yet"...

i remember being super excited...

i remember thinking i'd hire someone to do all the sculpts and textures...

i remember being scared to death when the "texture" person said they didn't want to, and i "should"...

i remember wondering how i'd ever learn to texture in 3d...

i remember our first "team" meeting...

i remember thinking OMG what have i done????

i remember my first textures of fur and thinking, oh wow this is gonna be harder than i thought...

i remember some quite interesting "discussions" with kittycats on what worked and what didn't...

i remember making a 2d illustration and finding some old ones of cats i did and working tirelessly to make the sculpts look like that FACE!!!

i remember seeing it slowly come into view thru tons of revisions and modifications... and more modifications and MORE..

i remember trying all different ways to make eyes before finally going with the way we did it...

i remember thinking a "fur" wasn't done seeing mistakes and Equinox and Kittycats saying "no one will EVER see that!"..

i remember NOT believing them...

i remember a lot of things like that!

i remember our first born cats... LOL (they did NOT look like a cat)

i remember when we beta tested and people we so excited!

i remember a lot about that beginning over 4.5 years ago...

i remember thinking "we have the BEST community"

i remember a lot of good things...

i try to remember that there is SO much more good than bad.

i remember a LOT more but for now i'll stop!

oh i remember that me and equinox both independently thought of the name KittyCatS probably on the same day and when she told me i was like OMG NO WAY, to myself, and yes!!!

i remember when we made a RL dock that you touched in your house that would bring your SL cat into your REAL house and it would be alive!! (then i woke up)

then end.. for now
