[casual_games] Procedural proceedings

[Jónas Antonsson]

Hi Tom.

 

I would take a good look at virtual worlds that are already running. I would
start by looking at Second Life (http://secondlife.com/).  That virtual
world is built specifically for customized and expanding interaction between
people in a virtual setting. Susan Vega is performing live in Second Life in
August, for instance. A “live” virtual concert that people can attend by
signing up and logging in.

 

I am pretty certain that we could set up a conference using an already
existing virtual world like Second Life (there are others out there as
well). It just takes some planning and perhaps a little 3d modeling and
programming on our behalf.

Actually the IGDA Board has been discussion a way to do virtual lectures and
roundtables...but  we have not yet considered a full conference.  I if you
have any idea of how we can effectively and cheaply get seminars and
discussion groups in real time over the net, I'd love to hear about it.

I was working on a
similar tool for the audio realm for a while, but it really took gobs of
time to maintain.


Yeah, I'm dreading the day when I've got the architecture and all the  
interfaces in place - that's when I usually lose interest in projects...  
This time I hope to get beyond that; if I can make the plugin interface is  
simple enough then there's a chance I can find others to work with all the  
boring details of specific tools, filters etc.

BTW, audio / softsynth processing is next on my OpenBlackBox TODO-list,  
and with Shader Model 4 I hope to be able to accelerate quite a few audio  
algorithms on the GPU. I'll post something when I get there, in case  
you're interested in testing or helping out in some other way!
