Bungie to look at Reach at GDC
Kornman00 was kind enough to collect the Bungie-related talks at this year's Game Developers Conference, coming up in early March. Let's see what we've got...
- David Aldridge will be talking about Reach's Networking in "I Shot You First: Networking the Gameplay of HALO: REACH"
- Joe Spataro and Tam Armstrong will be discussing in-game characters in "The Animation of HALO REACH: Raising the Bar"
- Marty O'Donnell's Adventures with Adaptive Audio, Creative Collaboration and Geese! will be given by (surprise) Marty O'Donnell
- Chris Tchou will delve into the atmospheric stuff in Reach in "HALO: REACH Effects Tech"
- Xi Wang will introduce Reach's Level of Detail system in "Automated Level of Detail Generation for HALO: REACH" (kornman's looking forward to this)
- While he's no longer with Bungie (he's moved over to 343 Industries), Seth Gibson will be part of a panel called "Technical Artist Boot Camp: Lessons in How to Create and Be an Effective TA"
All in all, a pretty exciting lineup! (Louis Wu 22:21:53 UTC) (permalink)
Ding! Ding! Ding!
According to Bungie's Comm Chatter, the next Running Riot podcast will take place on February 16 - and the guest will be our very own Miguel Chavez! Mark your calendars. (Louis Wu 18:50:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Special Projects Division Pages 25-38
Hedgemony continues his Special Projects Division comic with another dozen pages (plus a couple) - as always, great story, great art! More tomorrow. (Louis Wu 17:02:22 UTC) (permalink)
Pixel Force Halo Released
Pixel Force Halo (a 2D project we first heard about in December) has been released - it's free for download on your PC. You can read an interview with its creator (and find a download link) at Piki Geek - thanks, Blaidd Drwg. (Louis Wu 17:01:53 UTC) (permalink)
The Flaming Ninja Challenge 2
pete_the_duck's back with another Flaming Ninja Challenge - he says it's his last. (I don't buy it. He's too good at this.) Check out the pics, download the map and gametype, and try it yourself! (Louis Wu 17:01:35 UTC) (permalink)
Grab Bag Changes
In sad news, Firefight Arcade disappeared yesterday off the 'Grab Bag' playlist. Its replacement, however, will bring joy to many - Grifball is now live. Go see how Reach has changed this beloved favorite! (And Firefight Arcade will probably be coming back in the not-too-distant future...) (Louis Wu 17:01:16 UTC) (permalink)
Timelapsed Star Construction
If you liked watching that Forge timelapse video last week, urk highlighted a new one yesterday - VIP Lounge built a star in Forge. Fun! (Louis Wu 17:00:55 UTC) (permalink)
