Well, I was so impressed with how well you articulated these issues that I have just been to Amazon to buy your paperback: 'Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences '. What interests me is to simulate a system so that you only pay the computational cost for what you ...
It is unfortunate that the tone of this article makes you come across as nauseatingly entitled. Calling your potential customers 'wasters ' will put you in an adversarial stance with them. I for one will deliberately avoid all of your companies games on principle and buy those made by developers ...
Whilst a video can selectively show the parts that work, or emphasise cutscenes, a demo will allow a player to evaluate the efficacy of the controls, the robust quality of the code and the actual pacing of the game. In the past, I remember that all arcade games had attract ...
Kitbashing is both a well established method for rapidly prototyping a physical model... r n r nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitbashing r n r n...and a way to recycle 3D assets within a comparatively small team: r n r nhttp://vimeo.com/57776919 r n r nWhat interests me is the potential to use parameterised Constructive Solid ...

Open worlds require too much content to ...
The lack of backwards compatibility on the Xbox One is a fault. A minor fault, but a fault nonetheless. Sony 's Gaikai streaming system may not work for everyone equally optimally without lag, it all depends on a cash strapped Zaibatsu investing in infrastructure in everyone 's geographical locales. I ...
@ Mr Chmielarz r n r nThank you for the reply. Actually, since I made my post someone I live with took an interest in the conundrum and took the view that I should stay in-character and act as Captain Grayson Hunt would. I am not playing as me as ...
Games are systems of rules within which interesting behaviour may emerge, often with some aspect of challenge, or competition for the player to measure their performance against. The percieved veracity of a simulation can be a sufficient hook to keep the player engaged without recourse to throwing problems at them. ...
May I recommend you take the time to download and study this large .pdf of the original game manual for Super Mario 64: r n r nhttp://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/b3a3fbf02b2af80bcae8c46335703a37 r n r nI feel that along with your actions being reinforced by feedback cartoonish, Chaplinesque, 'over-sold ' animations , the more sophisticated ...
