A new chapter of HIGHWATER, entitled "The Ark Adventure" is now live on Netflix games. Another major content update to the game comes in the Fall, completing the Nikos & Co story. A MAZE games festival in Berlin just posted my talk on worldbuilding, which is the shortest version of my usual hour-long rambling. If you're interested in a quick digest of our approach to storytelling, watch here: https://lnkd.in/dZtU7ib3

The cynical modern narrative around the Olympic and Paralympic Games tends to focus on the financial burden placed on the Host City and the opportunity cost of building new and expensive sporting infrastructure at the expense of other much needed projects. It can be alluring to think this way; these short term problems need fixes, but this isn’t a zero sum game. If there is a clear plan about what legacy outcomes from the Games are absolutely critical to the future prosperity of a city, region or state, then fundamental, long term improvements to housing options, quality of life and access to jobs and business opportunities can be created. Barcelona 1992 proved that aspirations for international tourism exposure, urban regeneration of the inner city and creation of new housing typologies could be achieved through an Olympic and Paralympic Games. Similarly, Atlanta in 1996 was able to use the global media coverage generated by the Games to attract major corporations to headquarter themselves in Georgia and create a powerhouse for employment and jobs. It is not unreasonable to expect the same level of legacy benefits for Brisbane. The critical task of the next 12 months will be for Games organisers to agree with all levels of government what is non-negotiable in terms of legacy outcomes and then set about achieving these with drive and passion.

A 3D cinematic game based on the classic Star Fox games... except it's a cute squirrel with a cute pink tail. I did level build, ship/environment models space music, SFX, narrative and U/I. #csharp #gamedevelopment #gamedesign #madewithunity #blender3d https://lnkd.in/gVywNT3z

The booths are back on stage at The International 🔕 But why? Some perks of them are: ▶️ having airconditioning ▶️ non-reflective glass ▶️ and being sound dampening Last year Valve did not use them at TI. Which didn't have the most positive result. Sound is such an important element of most esports titles, you wouldn't (and shouldn't) be distracted by noise for the outside. Should soundbooths be the golden standard in big arena's? #esports #gaming #sound
