OCTOBER 2012 INSIDE:HOW to SHUT DOWN YOUR DEV STUDIO Postmortem POSTMORTEM THE LEADING GAME INDUSTRY MAGAZINE VOL19 NO 10 OCTOBER 2012 INSIDE:HOW TO SHUT DOWN YOUR DEV STUDIO postmortem 26 RAYMAN ORIGINS How do you take a time-tested favorite like RAYMAN and make it fresh and fun all over again? In this month’s featured postmortem, Ubisoft designer Chris McEntee talks about how a small team building new, artist-friendly developer tools ended up turning into the triple-A team that put RAYMAN back on the map. By Chris McEntee features 7 SEEING DOUBLE Adding stereoscopic 3D support to your game isn’t necessarily a difficult thing to do, but doing it without having to render any given scene twice—once for each eye—is a bit trickier. Insomniac Games’s Jim Van Verth explains how the stereographic reprojection system behind RATCHET & CLANK: ALL 4 ONE produced an impressive 3D effect without breaking the framerate budget. By Jim Van Verth 17 SIGGRAPH 2012 HIGHLIGHTS The 2012 Siggraph conference featured new technologies and trends for current-generation game devs and more affordable development tools, which could offer new opportunities for studios large and small. Game Developer correspondents Carey Chico and Mike de la Flor give us this year’s show floor highlights—and how they may shape your work in the future. By Carey Chico & Mike de la Flor 21 GAME OVER Sometimes game studios have to shut down. Carey Chico walks us through his own experience closing his own development studio (Globex LA) and explains how you can make sure your own closing process—knock on wood—is handled responsibly, respectfully, and as gracefully as possible.

  • Cloud-Based Visual Discovery in Astronomy: Big Data Exploration Using Game Engines and VR on EOSC
    Novel EOSC services for Emerging Atmosphere, Underwater and Space Challenges 2020 October Cloud-Based Visual Discovery in Astronomy: Big Data Exploration using Game Engines and VR on EOSC Game engines are continuously evolving toolkits that assist in communicating with underlying frameworks and APIs for rendering, audio and interfacing. A game engine core functionality is its collection of libraries and user interface used to assist a developer in creating an artifact that can render and play sounds seamlessly, while handling collisions, updating physics, and processing AI and player inputs in a live and continuous looping mechanism. Game engines support scripting functionality through, e.g. C# in Unity [1] and Blueprints in Unreal, making them accessible to wide audiences of non-specialists. Some game companies modify engines for a game until they become bespoke, e.g. the creation of star citizen [3] which was being created using Amazon’s Lumebryard [4] until the game engine was modified enough for them to claim it as the bespoke “Star Engine”. On the opposite side of the spectrum, a game engine such as Frostbite [5] which specialised in dynamic destruction, bipedal first person animation and online multiplayer, was refactored into a versatile engine used for many different types of games [6]. Currently, there are over 100 game engines (see examples in Figure 1a). Game engines can be classified in a variety of ways, e.g. [7] outlines criteria based on requirements for knowledge of programming, reliance on popular web technologies, accessibility in terms of open source software and user customisation and deployment in professional settings.
