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 [...]

The video game industry is expected to reach $82 billion in sales by 2015. To take a piece of the billion-dollar pie, your video game needs to get users interested and excited. How do you do that? Gamers are visual people, so a great way to get them excited about your game is a video game trailer.
With today’s technology, you don’t need millions of dollars or professional equipment to get thousands of fans. Here’s how to get started on creating an exciting game trailer with a few inexpensive tools.

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

Right now we have 4 PC laptops in our house; 5 if you count the iPad 2 being a ‘personal computing’ device. There’s my work HP Pavilion dv6, my personal Alienware M11x, her former Dell XPS M1530, which just got replaced by the Asus Zen book UX 31. In my sixteen years of being in [...]

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 [...]

Working with Consumer electronics and being a Techno Geek I find the evolution of our Radio and TV Viewing habits an interesting commentary on our connected world. In the early days of Radio, shows were broadcast at a certain time, and the family would gather around the radio in the evenings to listen to their [...]

So I’ll let you all draw your own conclusions; but I’ve been mulling over a few articles released earlier this month around the piracy statistics released via TorrentFreak. The first article I read was Tom’s article on Gamasutra titled “Report: Crysis 2 named most-pirated game of 2011”. That article led me to the link he [...]
