We have introduced hours of new and fully voice-acted missions, new characters, new cutscenes, new monsters, and of course tons of new loot to discover.

To celebrate this special anniversary we’ve put together a video giving you some highlights of our twenty-five year journey. Download from Funcom’s FTP | Embed from YouTube We’ve done pixel platformers on the Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis (including Pocahontas, Casper, and Winter Gold). We’ve done racing games such as Speed Freaks for the PlayStation 1 and Racing Impact for the SEGA Saturn. We’ve made three major PC massively multiplayer online games where we’ve pioneered new gameplay mechanics such as auto-generated dungeons (Anarchy Online), dynamic combat (Age of Conan), and investigation missions (Secret World Legends). We’ve done The Longest Journey, one of the most critically acclaimed adventure games of all time. These days we’re finishing up Conan Exiles for the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation, and we just announced that we are publishing Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and will be demoing it for the first time ever at GDC in San Francisco next week (you can still secure a spot for a demo: https://meetme.so/funcom2018gdc). Since those humble beginnings back in March of 1993, we’ve released over twenty-five games across a wide range of platforms. We’ve survived major shifts in the gaming industry and we’ve had to adapt to an ever-changing market. We’ve had our ups and we’ve had our downs.

Hugo Cabret, la tentation du mythe Christel Taillibert Université Nice-Sophia-Antipolis Introduction Le nom de Martin Scorsese évoque irrémédiablement le « nouveau cinéma américain », mouvement de renouveau impulsé par un ensemble de cinéastes qui, à partir des années soixante, surfaient sur l’émulation qu’avait constitué la Nouvelle Vague française dans le monde entier. Pourtant, contrairement à un John Cassavetes qui fit de l’indépendance son style et son credo, Martin Scorsese n’a jamais caché sa fascination pour les studios hollywoodiens, qui financèrent la plus grande partie de ses projets cinématographiques, et cela dès Mean Street en 1973. Tout au long de sa carrière, il alterna des œuvres extrêmement personnelles et d’autres qui apparaissent clairement comme des concessions faites aux studios et aux besoins du box office. Cette double facette lui permit de développer une œuvre toujours personnelle, cohérente avec son propre univers, tout en évitant de tomber dans les ornières de la marginalisation qui, aux États-Unis, menacent inéluctablement qui s’accroche trop obstinément aux idéaux de l’indépendance.

  • All but War Is Simulation: the Military Entertainment Complex
    1 THEATERS OF WAR: THE MILITARY-ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX Tim Lenoir and Henry Lowood Stanford University To appear in Jan Lazardzig, Helmar Schramm, Ludger Schwarte, eds., Kunstkammer, Laboratorium, Bühne--Schauplätze des Wissens im 17. Jahrhundert/ Collection, Laboratory, Theater, Berlin; Walter de Gruyter Publishers, 2003 in both German and in English War games are simulations combining game, experiment and performance. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has been the primary proponent of war game design since the 1950s. Yet, commercial game designers produced many of the ideas shaping the design of military simulations, both before and after the advent of computer-based games. By the 1980s, the seeds of a deeper collaboration among military, commercial designers, the entertainment industry, and academic researchers in the development of high-end computer simulations for military training had been planted. They built “distributed interactive simulations” (DIS) such as SIMNET that created virtual theaters of war by linking participants interacting with distributed software or hardware simulators in real time. The simulators themselves presented synthetic environments—virtual worlds—by utilizing advances in computer graphics and virtual reality research. With the rapid development of DIS technology during the 1990s, content and compelling story development became increasingly important. The necessity of realistic scenarios and backstory in military simulations led designers to build databases of historical, geographic and physical data, reconsider the role of synthetic agents in their simulations and consult with game design and entertainment talents for the latest word on narrative and performance. Even when this has not been the intention of their designers and sponsors, military simulations have been deeply embedded in commercial forms of entertainment, for example, by providing content and technology deployed in computer and video games.

An honors colloquium engages students in scholarly research and discourse involving thematic elements of academic life in popular culture . An interdisciplinary approach to race, class, the professoriate, Greek life, and foreign experience is espoused .

In a world where music has become increasingly sanitized and unable to venture beneath the surface clichés of human emotion, Shane’s songs stand out in ever greater relief. None has bared their soul like Shane McGowan. His unique ability to plumb the dark recesses of the human soul, while in the very same breath celebrating its capacity to find healing transcendence, in both love and the sublime mysteries of existence, goes a long way to making sense of who we actually are.

Large flotillas of ships passed north and west, rising slowly like grey whales drifting to the ocean surface, seeking to avoid the storms by crossing over them. To the east, there was the faint silvery gleam of another flotilla returning from the mines. While the storms were still much too remote to be heard – even with the most sensitive of implants – Philip Ross felt them. Rubi-Ka was, after all, his world. Not a sparrow would fall to the ground without him knowing. Figuratively speaking, of course. There were no sparrows on this planet. Ross focused. The windows darkened, and the panorama before him grew dim, leaving his office in a comfortable gloom.

  • The Video Game Asset Pipeline a Pattern Approach to Visualization
    The Video Game Asset Pipeline A Pattern Approach to Visualization James Lear Student ID: 91002002 [email protected] The University of the West of England Faculty of Environment and Technology This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2021 Director of Studies Supervisor Professor Richard McClatchey Dr Simon Scarle [email protected] [email protected] a Abstract Video games consist of virtual worlds modelled as an approximation of either a real or imaginary environment. The amount of content required to populate the environments for Triple-A (AAA) video games doubles every few years to satisfy the expectations of the end-users. For this reason, the art and design discipline now constitute the maJority of those employed in a video game studio. The artists use Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools to design and create their content; tools not originally designed for video game asset creation. Ultimately the artists require to preview their content in the form of source assets in the runtime environment, the game engine, to ensure they provide an accurate rendering of their original vision. However, there exists a barrier to achieve this workflow; the original source assets are persisted in a proprietary format, information rich to handle future edits, and the final runtime environment requires the assets to be lightweight ready for fast and efficient loading into the game engine. The video game industry has solved this problem by introducing a fast and efficient workflow known as the asset pipeline. The asset pipeline is recognized within video games technology as a general reusable solution to the common problem of converting source assets into their final runtime form as expected by the runtime game engine.
