I've finally got a concept, still ironing it out but the gist of it is:
My villain was a cyclist, obsessed with performance and will do anything that will give him the edge. He was very frail as a child and was looked down upon by the other kids. Now the tables have turned and his hate makes him strong. That and the drugs, witch are the reason he doesn't compete anymore, having been banned for life by the Anti Doping Committee. In his quest for performance he has succumbed to performance…
Hello to all of you guys. I am not in area (not yet should I say) but I wold certainly love to move there- that's why I joined community in first place.

I've just completed re-encoding our entire footage of Free Play 2007 up on youTube for easy access. Looking back at the sessions and keynotes that Next Wave and ACMI organised, I have to say that there's an incredible wealth of information to be gathered, making this absolutely essential viewing for those into independent game development. Yes, we have the *entire* conference with all the sessions and keynotes on there for viewing!

Tom Crago, Tantalus CEO and president of the Game Developers' Association of Australia (GDAA), has written a great article up for ABC news on the absurdity of our games classification system and includes some thoughts as a game developer. Tom looks at the reasons for why an R ratings system is needed, the recent Fallout 3 ban and the cluelessnes of the policy makers during the discussion of it in the Q&A program, and picks apart the argument of South Australian Attorney-General Michael…

fun things included writing my own vertex shader to get the lights/ material to behave as i liked (i REALLY want to be able to have alpha in vertex colours from geometry and diffuse material colour with alpha and have lighting, this is not a permutation opengl…
It was really only a matter of time that the winning formula of Infinite Interactive's Puzzle Quest was duplicated by another games developer. Kotaku reports that Legacy Interactive and Paramount have done the deed utilising a license of Lindsay Lohan movie "Mean Girls" and making a more or less shameless clone of Infinite Interactive's outstanding puzzle RPG hybrid game.
