(AP Photo/LucasArts) (AP) -- The Force will be with the Xbox 360. Microsoft Corp. unveiled a limited edition Xbox 360 console at a Comic-Con panel on Thursday that will be modeled after the character R2-D2, with a wireless gold-colored controller resembling his droid pal C-3PO. The console will make the character's signature beeping sounds when the white-and-blue console is turned on and the disc tray is opened. It will also feature a 320-gigabyte hard drive, the largest available for Microsoft's gaming system. The "Star Wars"-themed console, available later this year, will cost $449.99 and come with a white Kinect sensor, headset and "Kinect Star Wars," an action-adventure game utilizing the camera-based controller system. "Kinect Star Wars" developers also confirmed that a pod-racing mode based on "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace," would be featured in the game.

The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Legends Clone Wars Supplement 1
The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Legends Clone Wars Supplement 1 THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD The Old Republic. The Galactic Empire. The New Republic. What might have been. Every legend has its historian. By Nathan P. Butler - Gold Release Number 56 – 85th SWT Release - 08/11/18 ___________________________ starwarsfanworks.com/timeline _facebook.com/swtimelinegold __________________________________ LEGENDS CLONE WARS SUPPLEMENT “The chronology of the Clone Wars is confusing.” --Luke Skywalker Dedicated to all of the fellow Star Wars fans who remain frustrated with the lack of clarity in how the pre-2008 and post-2008 versions of the Clone Wars in the Star Wars: Legends continuity are meant to fit together, if at all -----|----- -Fellow Star Wars fans- The document you are reading was born out of necessity. After the release of Attack of the Clones in 2002, Lucasfilm’s various fictional licensees, including Del Rey, LucasArts, Dark Horse Comics, and others, produced a stunningly detailed three-year saga of the Clone Wars that brought us directly up to the opening of Revenge of the Sith in theaters in 2005. It became one of the most well-orchestrated periods in all of Star Wars: Legends publishing. 2008 changed all of that, then 2014 shifted things yet again. The Clone Wars materials that were produced from 2002 – 2008 were part of the “Official Continuity” (now Legends Continuity) of C-Canon that was meant to expand upon the G-Canon films. When The Clone Wars launched as a multimedia project in 2008, centered around a new film and television series with the direct involvement of George Lucas, the era of the Clone Wars was thrown into disarray by a new level of canonicity, T-Canon, and numerous new assertions.

We identify a convergence between everyday bodily actions and activity within digital environments, and a trend towards incorporating natural forms of movement into gaming worlds through mimetic control devices. We examine recent literature in the area of immersion and presence in digital gaming; Calleja’s (2011) recent Player Involvement Model (PIM) of gaming is discussed and found to rely on a problematic notion of embodiment as ‘incorporation’.

Introduction Disney's Purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012 Heralded a New
To Disney Infinity and Beyond - Star Wars Videogames Before and After the Lucasarts Acquisition Douglas Brown Introduction Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012 heralded a new direction for Star Wars, firmly aimed towards Disney's new character-led diversification strategy which CEO Bob Iger had begun with its purchase of Pixar in 20061. It also had some unexpected fallout for the world of videogames both within and beyond the franchise. The absorption of Star Wars into Disney entailed a new approach towards transmedial content creation. This involved the integration of its characters into the macro-transmedial world of the broader Disney ‘meta-franchise’, already expanded beyond the company’s own works by the addition of Marvel Studios. This new approach became apparent, as is explored throughout this volume, through the integration of Star Wars intellectual property (IP) into Disney branded content from movies and TV shows to theme parks, advertisements and merchandising. For video games in particular, the Disney buyout was greater than the Star Wars franchise only. The Lucasfilm portfolio also includes Indiana Jones, the special effects house, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) and – most importantly for the purposes of this chapter – Lucasarts, a well-respected game development and publishing company with a string of classic videogame IPs attached. Trepidation from gamers over how Disney would deploy and monetise the new IP came tempered with hope that classic game series both within the franchise’s universe and outside of it, including long- dormant IP such as classic adventure games Maniac Mansion2 and Day of The Tentacle3 could perhaps be revived or rebooted.

Creando Universos : La Narrativa Transmedia
Después de todo, se pone mucho en la creación de un universo y todo lo que va con él, y parece una pena usarlo sólo una vez. Terry Brooks El universo no sólo tiene una historia, si no cualquier historia posible. Stephen Hawking ! II Creando universos la narrativa transmedia Trabajo inal Grado de Comunicación Universitat Oberta de Catalunya Alumno: Joel Pérez Pérez Tutor del TFG: Fidel del Castillo Díaz Curso 2015/16 Resumen La convergencia mediática ha supuesto un cambio tanto en el modo de producción como en el del consumo de los medios. La multiplicación de canales ha supuesto el nacimiento de un nuevo modelo narrativo: la narración transmedia. Esta nueva narrativa utiliza todos los canales disponibles para hacer llegar al consumidor partes diferenciadas de su historia para que éste las interrelacione. Este proceso plantea nuevas exigencias a los consumidores y depende de la participación activa de las comunidades de conocimientos para conseguir desentrañar los misterios planteados. Esta tesis aborda tanto los elementos relacionados como el mismo proceso de implementación de una narrativa transmedia con el fin de detallar cuales son las características que hacen que una historia atrape a sus seguidores de una manera tan eficaz. Palabras clave: convergencia de medios, cultura participativa, inteligencia colectiva, narración transmedia, guión audiovisual, cultura fan, interactividad. ! III Abstract Media convergence has meant a change in the way we consume and produce the media. The channels multiplication has led to the birth of a new narrative model: transmedia storytelling. This new narrative uses all available channels to reach different parts of the story so consumers have to interrelate them.

Simulating Behavior Trees a Behavior Tree/Planner Hybrid Approach
8 Simulating Behavior Trees A Behavior Tree/Planner Hybrid Approach Daniel Hilburn 8.1 Introduction 8.3 Now Let’s Throw in a Few 8.2 The Jedi AI in Monkey Wrenches … Kinect Star Wars™ 8.4 Conclusion 8.1 Introduction Game AI must handle a high degree of complexity. Designers often represent AI with complex state diagrams that must be implemented and thoroughly tested. AI agents exist in a complex game world and must efficiently query this world and construct models of what is known about it. Animation states must be managed correctly for the AI to interact with the world properly. AI must simultaneously provide a range of control from fully autonomous to fully designer-driven. At the same time, game AI must be flexible. Designers change AI structure quickly and often. AI implementations depend heavily on other AI and game system implementations, which change often as well. Any assumptions made about these external systems can easily become invalid—often with little warning. Game AI must also interact appropriately with a range of player styles, allowing many players to have fun playing your game. There are many techniques available to the AI programmer to help solve these issues. As with any technique, all have their strengths and weaknesses. In the next couple of sections, we’ll give a brief overview of two of these techniques: behavior trees and planners. We’ll briefly outline which problems they attempt to solve and the ones with which they struggle. Then, we’ll discuss a hybrid implementation which draws on the strengths of both approaches.
