I originally got into Objective C reluctantly. I had been holding out because I heard that the upcoming Flash CS5 would be able to compile to the iPhone, and because I was well versed with writing Actionscript code, I decided I could wait a couple of months and save myself the effort of having to learn a new language. When Flash CS5 came out, it did in fact compile to an iPhone build but the performance was painfully slow, it was really unusable even for the simplest of games.

Walking In Stations. EVE Online | EVE Insider | Dev Blog. Hi there, I'm CCP t0rfifrans, Creative Director of EVE and current Product Owner of a team called Team Avatar. Following the reorganization that recently occurred within EVE, we decided to scale down development of avatar based gameplay and focus the bulk of our feature teams on spaceships. However, we still believe in the vision to bring your characters fully into the world of EVE, it will simply take longer than we expected at first. To achieve that, avatars need to be making a meaningful contribution to the EVE universe.
So we put one team on a "slow burn" addressing those issues. There are other core duties as well, like UI fixes and things that take priority, such as outstanding defects on Tranquility. Team Avatar is responsible for two things: Defining the future vision of avatar based gameplay based on our experiences Maintaining current avatar related gameplay in EVE, including the character creator and the Captain's Quarters.

Halo Creator Unveils Its Next Masterpiece, a Persistent Online World | Game|Life. [nggallery id="280" template="carousel"] BELLEVUE, Washington — Destiny, the new game from the creator of Halo, isn’t just another shooter.
It’s a persistent online multiplayer adventure, designed on a galactic scale, that wants to become your new life. “It isn’t a game,” went the oft-heard tagline at a preview event on Wednesday. “It’s a world where the most important stories are told by the players, not written by the developers.” This week, Bungie Studios invited the press into its Seattle-area studio to get the first look at Destiny. Bungie was acquired by Microsoft in 2000, and its insanely popular shooter was the killer app that put the original Xbox on the map. Destiny, slated for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, isn’t exactly an MMO. “We’re not doing this just because we have the tech,” Hirshberg said. The enigmatic sphere imparts players with potent weapons, magic-like powers and defensive technology.
Bungie’s malleable team system was also said to increase its output. Death Loop as a Feature. By Olli Tapio Leino Abstract Assuming its premise in the experience of being stuck in a death loop in Fallout: New Vegas (2010), this essay theorises the possibilities of interpretation in single-player computer game play. This amounts to a critical examination of the paradigmatic approach of interpreting computer games as games accessible for analysis and critique through 'research-play'. Comparing the role of rules in the activity facilitated by ‘playable artifacts’ like single-player computer games or pinball machines to rules in traditional, or more accurately “transmedial” (Juul 2003) games, the essay questions the feasibility of considering computer games ‘games’ and suggests that a defining characteristic of ‘playable artifacts’ is to be found from the relationship between materiality and process.
Situating playable artifacts in the context of post-phenomenological philosophy of technology, the essay differentiates between attitudes of player, designer, and a scholar. Introduction. In Bad Hotel, Addictive iOS Game, Composing Music to Tapped Interactions [Behind the Scenes] What if a game made you both player and remixer/composer? What if that music plugged into your gameplay brain just like the interactive elements? This week, we get another try at just that – and find out how the whole thing works behind the scenes, with free software you can use, too. If you’re like me, you’ve loved the soaring, gaslight-style music soundtrack, as it makes its sweep across a film, swelling at just the right moments. Or you’ve closed your eyes and enjoyed the frozen narrative of a great score or great record as it washes over you. But surely, these are something different from a game; they’re defined by the (pleasurable) linear flow from beginning to middle to end.
A game, if it’s to be just as musically expressive, has to somehow compose in the moments of play as they unfold, interwoven with what makes something challenging and addictive. The game is on sale now. And this being CDM, we have patch images. Bad Hotel is all really focused on the hotel structure. More: Eve Online. Eve Online (stylised EVE Online) is a video game by CCP Games. It is a player-driven, persistent-world MMORPG set in a science fiction space setting. Characters pilot customizable ships through a galaxy of over 7,500 star systems.[1][2] Most star systems are connected to one or more other star systems by means of stargates. The star systems can contain moons, planets, stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and complexes. Background The collapsed wormhole called the "EVE Gate", which humanity first traveled through to colonize New Eden.
Set more than 21,000 years in the future, the background story of Eve Online explains that humanity, having used up most of Earth's resources through centuries of explosive population growth, began colonizing the rest of the Milky Way.[10][11] In turn, this expansion also led to competition and fighting over available resources as it did on Earth, but everything changed with the discovery of a natural wormhole leading to an unexplored galaxy named "New Eden". Video Game Audio. “Limbo” – Exclusive Interview with Martin Stig Andersen. It takes a strong game to weave so seamlessly the combination of art contained within. Limbo was a game that so totally embodied itself that it found its way atop most “Best of…” lists the year of it’s release on XBLA.
With the game properly ported and recently released on PC and PSN, DesigningSound.org took some time to catch up with Martin Stig Andersen. When I saw Martin speak this spring at GDC I was struck by how well formed his concept of sound for Limbo was, not only that but how his formative years seemed completely in support of hit contributions to the soundscape. If you have played through even a section of the game you will know that this could be no small feat, as it’s not every sound designer that could inexorably link the flickering black and white images to abstract impressions of sound.
This is a story that follows a complete trajectory. Read on for further insight… DK: How did your education prepare you for interactive media? DK: Was Limbo your first commercial game? Jon Hopkins soundtrack in the video game Vessel. Through the Loop.
