  • Audio Middleware the Essential Link from Studio to Game Design
    AUDIONEXT B Y A LEX A N D E R B R A NDON Audio Middleware The Essential Link From Studio to Game Design hen I first played games such as Pac Man and GameCODA. The same is true of Renderware native audio Asteroids in the early ’80s, I was fascinated. tools. One caveat: Criterion is now owned by Electronic W While others saw a cute, beeping box, I saw Arts. The Renderware site was last updated in 2005, and something to be torn open and explored. How could many developers are scrambling to Unreal 3 due to un- these games create sounds I’d never heard before? Back certainty of Renderware’s future. Pity, it’s a pretty good then, it was transistors, followed by simple, solid-state engine. sound generators programmed with individual memory Streaming is supported, though it is not revealed how registers, machine code and dumb terminals. Now, things it is supported on next-gen consoles. What is nice is you are more complex. We’re no longer at the mercy of 8-bit, can specify whether you want a sound streamed or not or handing a sound to a programmer, and saying, “Put within CAGE Producer. GameCODA also provides the it in.” Today, game audio engineers have just as much ability to create ducking/mixing groups within CAGE. In power to create an exciting soundscape as anyone at code, this can also be taken advantage of using virtual Skywalker Ranch. (Well, okay, maybe not Randy Thom, voice channels. but close, right?) Other than SoundMAX (an older audio engine by But just as a single-channel strip on a Neve or SSL once Analog Devices and Staccato), GameCODA was the first baffled me, sound-bank manipulation can baffle your audio engine I’ve seen that uses matrix technology to average recording engineer.

  • Opera Acquires Yoyo Games, Launches Opera Gaming
    Opera Acquires YoYo Games, Launches Opera Gaming January 20, 2021 - [Tuck-In] Acquisition forms the basis for Opera Gaming, a new division focused on expanding Opera's capabilities and monetization opportunities in the gaming space - Deal unites Opera GX, world's first gaming browser and popular game development engine, GameMaker - Opera GX hit 7 million MAUs in December 2020, up nearly 350% year-over-year DUNDEE, Scotland and OSLO, Norway, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera (NASDAQ: OPRA), the browser developer and consumer internet brand, today announced its acquisition of YoYo Games, creator of the world's leading 2D game engine, GameMaker Studio 2, for approximately $10 million. The tuck-in acquisition represents the second building block in the foundation of Opera Gaming, a new division within Opera with global ambitions and follows the creation and rapid growth of Opera's innovative Opera GX browser, the world's first browser built specifically for gamers. Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera, said: "With Opera GX, Opera had adapted its proven, innovative browser tech platform to dramatically expand its footprint in gaming. We're at the brink of a shift, when more and more people start not only playing, but also creating and publishing games. GameMaker Studio2 is best-in-class game development software, and lowers the barrier to entry for anyone to start making their games and offer them across a wide range of web-supported platforms, from PCs, to, mobile iOS/Android devices, to consoles." Annette De Freitas, Head of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships, Opera Gaming, added: "Gaming is a growth area for Opera and the acquisition of YoYo Games reflects significant, sustained momentum across both of our businesses over the past year.

  • 21 Miscellaneous Companies
    Chapter 21 Miscellaneous Companies Space restrictions simply do not permit me to go into the depth of detail I would like on every company that participated in the early days of the CAD industry nor cover numerous in-house systems developed at major automobile and aerospace companies. Readers will have to be satisfied with the brief descriptions included in this chapter and even then, I have only been able to cover what I consider to be the companies that had the biggest impact. There are hundreds if not thousands of companies that at one time marketed engineering design software. Some of the companies described in this chapter offered just software while other provided both hardware and software. While many have changed names, I have decided to list them alphabetically based upon the name they are best been known by along with earlier and subsequent name changes. Adra Systems (Matrix One) Adra Systems was founded in Lowell, Massachusetts in July 1983 by William Mason, who had been at Applicon from 1973 to 1983, most recently as vice president of operations, James Stenzel, who had been vice president of engineering at Hastech, Inc., and Peter Stoupas, who had earlier been a regional sales manager at Adage and had also worked for Applicon. Mason became the president and CEO, Stenzel the vice president of product development and Stoupas the vice president of marketing. Between 1983 and 1986, the company raised $11.6 million of venture funding from a number of firms including American Research & Development, the company that also provided the initial funding for Digital Equipment Corporation.
