I’ll be at the Brighton Develop Conference for the second time volunteering all next week. If I have the internet, I might make nightly posts, but probably my hotel won’t have wifi or more likely I won’t have time. There’s a lot more going on this year out of hours, so I really hope I’ll [...]
There’s an interesting Codemasters series at Bruce Everiss’ site this week, a must read I think.
A new initiative has started within the IGDA Preservation SIG - we’re looking to put up memorials about for industry developers. This is to help preserve history of the people working in the videogame industry, as well as players and important people related to the industry.
It’s currently just starting, but if you know any people [...]
I got my (dead cheap) cards from VistaPrint and, it seems, my background was removed. I have no idea why…odd really, not that it’s terrible, I’ll stick with all-black, blacker then black, the depths of black…duh duh duhhhhh! (click to see them and my original design…)
I’ve received the IGDA Foundation’s Eric Dybsand Memorial Scholarship for AI Development, to go to the Game Developers Conference 2008 in San Francisco!
I’m honoured!

High (315MB, 960×540, HQ audio)
Medium Quality (Usually recommended) (121MB, 480×270, [...]
Not exactly networking anyway, but I posted at AI Game Dev again, and so I thought I’d put it up here to record for my own use!
From the post, like I said - I need to do the advice “do more stuff”. Project work (which is AI based, so some gain from it ) [...]
Will Wright gave what I thought was a good, insightful lecture on the history of interactive media in relation to other types of media, and actually, a lot more, and what it is becoming compared to typical films and TV shows.
What more, with his Q&A he talked quite a bit on a load of topics, [...]
I visited the London Game Career Fair to do some filming today - I basically did a quick interview about each company (me, being like I am, off camera). Once I get them done they should be up somewhere for download, and I’ll put it on the IGDA forums - and should be useful for [...]
