The Core Loop CCS has an energy based economy. Players consume one Heart (energy) each time they fail or restart a level. Players are driven back to the game via timer mechanics (wait for Energy to recharge) and a cocktail of virality, which I’ll break down in the virality part of this text. Players can skip the wait by sending requests or buying energy Overflow of Meaningful Virality. Red Bull<br />Race Challenge. Pricing. How does the free plan differ from the paid plans?

It's something we all love to hate. If you're a developer, you know what we're talking about. You wish the data you needed to power your app, model or visualization was available via API. But, most of the time it's not. So, you decide to build a web scraper. We've felt this pain, many times over.

May 2011 What happens when you get a couple of hundred gamers and game creators in a room and ask them to dream up their own conference?

How to write computer games: tips from Gamecamp 4

Last weekend the fourth GameCamp took place in London, a so-called unconference event where attendees were encouraged to set their own agenda on the day. Anyone could propose a talk by writing it on the whiteboard. Anyone else interested could join them in the same room at the proposed time. You might think that’s a recipe for chaos, but there were enough people with good topic ideas, and plenty more willing to chip in during the discussions, to create a sparky and fun conference, fizzing with ideas. There were lots of ideas and discussions on the day, but here are some of the things I learned about games and game writing: The story is important. Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas on the day. Making a 3D Game with OpenGL: Deferred shading and stuff  Lately OpenGL and C++ is pretty much the only thing I do for clients, mostly for installations and iPad apps.

And that’s gowning pretty well. But as a creative code guy, I pretty much stayed in our own tech subculture. But when it comes to cutting edge graphic techniques, we can learn a lot from those other guys, the game developers. So one sunny afternoon, I decided to do just that and I started to make my own 3D game from scratch. Indy Game Development: any GAF'er ever make their own game, or even make money on it? - Page 2.

I met a programmer (and subsequently, found an artist) trolling AOL forums when I was in high school and ended up contributing to three shareware board games. The first, "Trinity" was a Triominoes clone, mac-only and more a test than anything, on which I provided some basic design work, lots of testing and all the sounds. The second, "Eternity", was a weird elemental-themed board game for Mac & PC; I did all of the sound, a lot of testing, and some 3-D 'victory' art when the player won. It was not as well received but still kind of interesting. Gaming Discussion. Relite - Création de jeux vidéo. Learn to code. [battle] Un jeu ça vous tente ? Le blog de quanticbladeproductions.

Featured Portfolio: Shunya Yamashita. Since I can't read Japanese, and all I can find are toy-related articles, it seems there's really only so much one can say about the notorious Shunya Yamashita. Like some of my favorite Heavy Metal artists, all he seems to draw is sexy nymphs. Sure, he'll draw the occasional big, badass dude, or as you can see above, the nymph with a big gun/hairdryer thing, but that's all part of Mr. Yamashita's appeal.
