SAGD is a site dedicated to the South African game development community. They strive to bring the community the latest news and a place where they can discuss game development and related topics. It is very fascinating that South Africa has a high level of technical content to have a site dedicated for games and not just watching movies. This is the future because making games is not easy. You need to master a lot of things and this seems to be moving to the creative side of entertainment. A brief exploration of some of the games are:

 

  • UnChaos and CSS

    UnChaos can now generate a CSS file for the sprite sheet. A class is created for each image on the sprite sheet. Go here to download the latest version (or to find out more about UnChaos): http://www.diorgo.com/v1/?p=198 Below is an example of a sprite sheet and the CSS file created by UnChaos. The grey rectangles in the background represent the transparent […]

  • Beasts Update: Rook and Pawn

    Ok, the Rook and Pawn meshes for the Beasts side have been finished for a while and sitting around begging to be shown, so I finally decided to finish off the HD renders and actually post them. here we have the finished Ogre (Rook) HD mesh: This guy has all the finesse of a drunk elephant. He’ll obviously enter into diplomatic discourse and use that menacing […]

  • Thursday Art Update

    Art time again. The main thing this week is an illustration of my mate’s Darksun D&D character. Bit of a (fun) challenge, as it’s a break from my usual regime of studies (drawing from life/photo refs etc) to construction from imagination (where you can/should look to refs for inspiration, but not directly copy them). So it’s essentially a test of of what […]

  • Street Sorcery Build 0.03

    Build 3 is up. http://www.scarsofwargame.com/downloads/StreetSorcery/Builds/ Not a lot to see this time, most of the work I did this last week was non-coding. I reworked the card game design quite a bit. I’d gone too kitchen-sink with it, there were a few too many stats for a card game. Card games need strategic depth in terms of what combos you can setup an […]

  • STASIS in the IGM Magazine

    I was lucky enough to have a preview of STASIS in the IGM Magazine a few months ago. Here is a copy of the article. A very big thanks to David Bruggink for the opportunity! IGM – Stasis Preview DOWNLOAD ME. http://www.indiegamemag.com Here is the unedited interview. Some info has changed since this, but it does give some nice incite into the game. . What are […]

A bold experiment in distributed education, “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” will be offered free and online to students worldwide during the fall of 2011. The course will include feedback on progress and a statement of accomplishment. Taught by Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig, the curriculum draws from that used in Stanford’s introductory Artificial Intelligence course. The instructors will offer similar materials, assignments, and exams.

 

Artificial Intelligence is the science of making computer software that reasons about the world around it. Humanoid robots, Google Goggles, self-driving cars, even software that suggests music you might like to hear are all examples of AI. In this class, you will learn how to create this software from two of the leaders in the field. Class begins October 10.

 

Details on the course, including a syllabus is available here. Sign up above to receive additional information about participating in the online version when it becomes available.

Apple Increases Production of iPhones In Anticipation Of Massive End Of Year Sales

According to reports from Taiwan Apple has just increased its orders for manufacturing iPhones in anticipation of massive sales at the end of the year. Earlier this year Apple had ordered the production of 50 million iPhones, including the 3GS and iPhone 4, but has since informed its suppliers that it would like this increased to 56 million.

 

Some of these new orders will be for the new iPhone 5. Apple is expected to order around 26 million iPhone 5?s into production by Christmas, although only around 6 million of them will go on sale in Q3. This seems to be a tactic Apple is employing to create huge demand for the new phone to start off with by limiting supply, and then flooding the market in time for Christmas.

 

Q3 production levels for the iPhone 5 were initially going to be 1 million higher although they have been dropped with the recent revisions. However, they have not simply been pushed back a few months as Q4 production levels have been increased by about 6 million, much more than the Q3 reductions.

 

In contrast, older models of the iPhone including the 3GS and iPhone 4 will see a spike in production in Q3 and then a huge drop off in the last quarter. This increase in production will mean that roughly 95 million iPhones will have been shipped by the end of 2011 and seem to suggest that Apple are expecting great things with the iPhone 5.

HSBC agreed to sell its U.S. credit-card unit as it tries to focus on emerging markets. Capital One, which recently agreed to buy ING‘s U.S. online bank, will pay a $2.6 billion premium for the acquisition above the value of the unit’s existing consumer-loan balances.

 

The sale continues the pullback from consumer banking by HSBC, which on July 31 agreed to sell almost half its U.S. retail branches, largely in New York. HSBC acquired the credit-card in 2003 when it bought sub-prime lender Household International.

 

HSBC Holdings plc is a global banking and financial services company headquartered in Canary Wharf, London, United Kingdom. As of 2011 it is the world’s second-largest banking and financial services group and second-largest public company according to a composite measure by Forbes magazine. It has many branches in Africa and other emerging and developing markets.
