My NZGDC talk about Starship is now live πŸ˜€

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkF-...

This talk explores the design intentions behind our DICE award-winning game and how we used #MixedReality to not only build a full narrative game, but to inherently involve the player and their space in it.

Games for me are a form of creative expression and with the whole genAI thing, I really don't know where this will lead creativity as a whole.
My hope is that it could be a great tool, but it also could be the end for most of us. And I swing wildly between the two from moment to moment.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

The led frame itself is made out of four ws2812b panels, a 3d printed grid and a sheet of clear poly carbonate that I spray painted with privacy frost effect paint. The effect is hard to capture, but looks a bit like neon tubes if they were pixels. There is a warm glow and brighter middle.

And it's a bit of a wood working/machining project as well. I used my CNC to build the frames and cover plates. Last pic is the mini PC powering it

The first game I made for it is a 2 player dungeon crawler where you need to collect all rainbows. One player walks, the other shoots and each time you pickup a rainbow, your controls switch over.
Also notice the ammo counter on the arcade stick itself, also ws2812b leds (this time over serial)

My biggest issue was to drive it at a high enough frame rate. Serial was too slow, so now it uses UDP packets.
