  • This Is the Title
    1 Welcome! If you’re here to learn about some art tools, you’ve come to the right place. While this talk does assume at least a basic understanding of the Unreal Engine, it’s really about the concepts behind these tools, not the exact implementation - So hopefully even non-Unreal users will be able to find some of this stuff helpful. First I’m going to do some quick introductions... 2 Hi. I’m Eric Anderson. I’m the Art Director at Cyan. 3 We are a small game development studio up in Spokane, Washington, and one of the oldest surviving independent studios in the industry. I’ve been with the company on and off for over 15 years. 4 Cyan is best known for the game Myst, which was released in 1993. In Myst, players find themselves trapped on an uninhabited - but visually lush island... ...surrounded by challenging puzzles - and are given little to no instruction on what to do - or where to go next. It was a hit. Myst quickly became the best selling computer game of the 20th century. 5 It was followed up a few years later by Riven. While Riven didn’t quite sell as well as Myst, it was acclaimed for its visual artistry - its rich story - and its immersive world. 6 I joined the company in 2000 to work on Uru… …Our ill-fated foray into Massively Multiplayer Online Games… …which was released in 2003 as a single player game, due to publisher cutbacks. 7 Followed shortly by Myst 5… …which was mostly built from the bones of Uru’s online content… …and sold about as well as one might expect.

  • The Walt Disney Company: a Corporate Strategy Analysis
    The Walt Disney Company: A Corporate Strategy Analysis November 2012 Written by Carlos Carillo, Jeremy Crumley, Kendree Thieringer and Jeffrey S. Harrison at the Robins School of Business, University of Richmond. Copyright © Jeffrey S. Harrison. This case was written for the purpose of classroom discussion.

In your message, state your name, affiliation and the intended use of the case. Permission for classroom use will be granted free of charge. Other cases are available at: http://robins.richmond.edu/centers/case-network.html "Walt was never afraid to dream. That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.

  • 052 – Old Puzzle Videogames — 3/4
    052 – Old Puzzle videogames — 3/4 Here, a succinct review of different types of puzzle videogames published until the year 2000. Not in chronological order. Single character control ● Eggerland (Series) – 1985–2000 Several puzzle games developed first for MSX computer systems and later for Windows : - Eggerland Mystery - Eggerland 2 - Eggerland: Revival of the Labyrinth - Eggerland: Departure to Creation - Adventures of Lolo - Adventures of Lolo 2 - Adventures of Lolo 3 - Adventures of Lolo (Game Boy) - Eggerland for Windows 95. The hero of most games is Lolo, a blue, spherical character with eyes, arms and legs. The story mainly deals with King Egger, the villain, capturing princess Lala, who is similar to Lolo, only colored pink or red, and wearing a bow. Lolo must rescue Lala by travelling through Egger's domain and solving the puzzle rooms laid out before him. His only weapon is a Magic Shot, but he can gain some powers in the way. The player must guide Lolo through a room of 11×11 tiles and have Lolo collect all of the Heart Framers ther. Doing so opens up a Jewel Box, which contains an item. Successfully acquiring the contents of the Jewel Box will clear the room of all monsters and open the way (full of obstacles) to the next room. ● Adventures of Lolo – 1989 A puzzle compilation video game (related to Eggerland) released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Wii's and Wii U's Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch Online's Entertainment System. The player assumes the role of Lolo and attempts to rescue Old Puzzle videogames — 3/4 ● Page 1 of 14 Princess Lala, who has been kidnapped by the evil King Egger.
