So I’ll caveat this up front by saying that there might be a little voodoo math going on here; however, be that as it may it’s still good food for thought. In short: Diablo 3, as of today (5/25/2012) has now hit 6.3 million in sales. Quite impressive! Huge congratulations going out to all my [...]

Ultrabook Work, Create, Play Challenge - 15mm of Game Dev Goodness

At CES2012 will.i.am expressed that when he grew up, music was made in a music studio then played on records, but how cool it is that today music is created on computers and played on computers. I've been thinking about this idea. Can the Ultrabook be versatile for other work/create/play scenarios. So why not game development? How well can you both create and play games on an Ultrabook?

Here's the task I've challenge the Ultrabook with
- Create concept art
- Model game objects from concept art
- Code sample game
- Play sample game

Porting existing Game Engines to Metro

By Steve Hughes (Intel) (2 posts) on March 26, 2012 at 2:19 am
Comments (2)

I’ve been looking at Windows 8 Metro, wondering what issues may arise when developers try to port existing games to Metro and DX11.1, as well as converting to Visual Studio 11. As we’ve seen already, some old favorites have disappeared from DirectX so I started looking at porting my “half an engine” (we all have one, right?) over to Metro to see what would happen. I’m going to describe some of the hoops I jumped through, and some of the epiphanies I had while getting it all working.

By now you’ve probably heard about Ultrabook and this next evolution in personal computing. Like me, you are probably curious about all of the cool things you’ve been hearing; they’re really light and thin, fast, and have longer battery life than traditional laptops. Well here is your chance to hear what other developers are saying [...]
