Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a little miniseries of games which heavily feature rotoscoping and different ways in which that technology is used, starting with Another World (1991). We set the game in its time, talk about rotoscoping, and discuss a lot about the world and games which seem descended from it. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Whole darn thing (well, almost, Tim) Issues covered: swinging back and forth in cages, starting and stopping the game, rotoscoping and some places it's been used, the basics of rotoscoping, how far Tim got in the past, baffling fluidity, echoes of other media, excellent character design, a "yes" game, other influences, thinking of this in terms of Mario, a cinematic moment, not making the movement a goal, choosing moments over systems, a fork in the lineage road, doing a project of this length solo, having a singular vision, hinting what you should pay attention to, the limits of tech and whether it can do anything for you, working on games that you wouldn't necessarily play.

fWotD Episode 2410: Doom (1993 video game) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Sunday, 10 December 2023 is Doom (1993 video game).Doom is a first-person shooter game developed and published by id Software. Released on December 10, 1993, for DOS, it is the first installment in the Doom franchise. The player assumes the role of a space marine, later unofficially referred to as Doomguy, fighting through hordes of undead humans and invading demons. The game begins on the moons of Mars and finishes in hell, with the player traversing each level to find its exit or defeat its final boss. It is an early example of 3D graphics in video games, and has enemies and objects as 2D images, a technique sometimes referred to as 2.5D graphics.Doom was the third major independent release by id Software, after Commander Keen (1990–1991) and Wolfenstein 3D (1992). In May 1992, id started developing a darker game focused on fighting demons with technology, using a new 3D game engine from the lead programmer, John Carmack. The designer Tom Hall initially wrote a science fiction plot, but he and most of the story were removed from the project, with the final game featuring an action-heavy design by John Romero and Sandy Petersen. Id published Doom as a set of three episodes under the shareware model, marketing the full game by releasing the first episode free. A retail version with an additional episode was published in 1995 by GT Interactive as The Ultimate Doom.Doom was a critical and commercial success, earning a reputation as one of the best and most influential games of all time. It sold an estimated 3.5 million copies by 1999, and up to 20 million people are estimated to have played it within two years of launch. It has been termed the "father" of first-person shooters and is regarded as one of the most important games in the genre. It has been cited by video game historians as shifting the direction and public perception of the medium as a whole, as well as sparking the rise of online games and communities. It led to an array of imitators and clones, as well as a robust modding scene and the birth of speedrunning as a community. Its high level of graphic violence led to controversy from a range of groups. Doom has been ported to a variety of platforms both officially and unofficially and has been followed by several games in the series, including Doom II (1994), Doom 3 (2004), Doom (2016), and Doom Eternal (2020), as well as the films Doom (2005) and Doom: Annihilation (2019).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:21 UTC on Sunday, 10 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Doom (1993 video game) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Arthur Neural.

Anfang der 1990er war das Shareware-Modell eine beliebte Methode für kleinere Entwickelnde, um ihre PC-Programme zu vermarkten – von ASCII-basierten Anwendungen für MS-DOS bis hin zu veritablen Spielekrachern wie "Doom" oder "Commander Keen". In der Ära der 3,5-Zoll-Disketten mußten PC-Nutzende diese Shareware mit Bedacht auswählen, doch Mitte der 1990er trat das CD-ROM-Laufwerk seinen Siegeszug an. Auf einem Silberling fand plötzlich das Äquivalent von 460 Disketten Platz und das bedeutete Goldgräberstimmung für Firmen wie Topware, Starcom & Co., die – mehr oder weniger kuratiert – riesige Shareware-Sammlungen auf CD unters Volk brachten. Christian, Simon und Sebastian haben im Internetarchiv gesucht und präsentieren euch heute nicht bloß ihre Shareware-Highlights von damals, sondern experimentieren auch mit reichlich obskurer Software.

John Romero is an award-winning game designer, level designer and programmer whose work spans over 130 games, 107 of which have been published commercially, including the iconic works Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake. He has worked in the mobile, hardcore, mid-core, casual and MMO space.  John has co-founded eight successful game companies including the likes of id Software, Gazillion Entertainment and, most recently, Romero Games which celebrated its 7th anniversary in 2022. He is considered to be among the world's top game designers, and his games have won well over 100 awards.  One of the earliest indie developers, John began working in the game space in 1979 on mainframes before moving to the Apple II in 1982. He is a completely self-taught programmer, designer and artist, having drawn his inspirations from early Apple II programmers. He co-owns Romero Games.  John's autobiography DOOM Guy: Life in First Person is getting released in July 2023. Industry-redefining breakthroughs in design and tech during his time at id Software made DOOM and Quake cultural phenomena, and this thrilling story recounts every step of the process, from collaborative, heavy metal–fueled days spent crafting the industry's most revolutionary and cutting-edge games to a high-profile falling-out with id cofounder John Carmack. After years in the gaming spotlight, Romero is now telling his story—the whole story—shedding new light on the development of his games and his business partnerships, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, sharing insights about design, code, the industry, and his career right up to today. Sharing gratitude for a lifetime in games, Romero reveals the twists and turns that led him, ultimately, to be called DOOM Guy. A copy of the book can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Doom-Guy-Life-First-Person/dp/141975811X. In this Podcast, Allan McKay interviews John Romero, the legendary Creator of DOOM and Co-Creator of id Software, about his start as a programmer, overcoming life struggles, getting his start as a programmer, launching id Software and the success of Commander Keen, the cultural impact of DOOM, transitioning to 3D – and the release of his first autobiography DOOM GUY: LIFE IN FIRST PERSON.

Industry-redefining breakthroughs in design and tech during Romero's time at id Software made DOOM and Quake cultural phenomena, and this thrilling story recounts every step of the process, from collaborative, heavy metal–fueled days spent crafting the industry's most revolutionary and cutting-edge games to a high-profile falling-out with id cofounder John Carmack.

Anfang der 90er der Vertrieb von Spielen noch kein feststehender Markt, den Versender oder Handelsketten aufgeteilt hätten. Es gab den Einzelhandel, monatlichen Diskettenmagazine und den Underground-Bereich der Shareware. Einem technisch innovativen Team namens id Software war es vorbehalten, kurz den letzteren ins Rampenlicht zu befördern, indem sie mit diesem Geschäftsmodell kurz nacheinander drei Hits landeten: Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom. In dieser Episode geht es um Wolfenstein 3D, das nicht id Softwares erster Ego-Shooter, aber eine maßgebliche technische und spielmechanische Weiterentwicklung zu Hovertank One und Catacomb 3-D, die id nur ein Jahr davor rausbrachte. Wolf3D brachte den Durchbruch für die junge Firma, legte den Grundstein für Doom und war wegweisend für das entstehende Genre der Ego-Shooter. Christian und Gunnar sprechen über Wolfenstein 3D und Spear of Destiny, die Geschichte von id Software und die halboffiziellen Vorgänger, die Wolfenstein-Spiele von Silas Warner. Hinweis: Für Unterstützer auf Steady/Patreon gibt es in Kürze eine spannende „Wusstet ihr eigentlich …?“-Bonusfolge mit Trivia zum Spiel sowie eine exklusive Sonderfolge zur Historie der Shareware-Spiele.

Guest Anthony Ronda Panelists Richard Littauer | Eric Berry | Ben Nickolls | Eriol Fox Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. Today, we have an amazing guest, Anthony Ronda, who is one of the leaders in the League of Extraordinary Foundry VTT Developers. Foundry Virtual Tabletop is a standalone application built for experiencing multiplayer tabletop RPGs, which helps you play games like Dungeons and Dragons and other games virtually. Anthony fills us in on the history of the League, the background of Foundry, and the open source module that was created. He also tells us about a really cool game he made, how he found it easier to make friends through the league, more about the Open Game License, and advice on how you can get started in this community. Go ahead and download this episode to find out more cool stuff! [00:01:40] Anthony explains Virtual Tabletop (VTT) and gives us the history and background of the League. [00:03:53] We find out the background of Foundry and how it's geared more towards Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop role-playing games, and Anthony tells us how the adoption has been over the past couple of years. [00:07:29] In talking about the API developer community, we learn how this relates to open source and what type of contributions exist. Anthony mentions a book by Nadia Eghbal that helped him make sense of what was going on, especially with making sure games run smoothly. [00:11:15] Anthony tells us about a cool game he made in Foundry. [00:14:30] The topic is gaming communities and Richard is curious to know more about Wizards of the Coast and what their involvement is with open source and Anthony explains how his league is doing newer novel things. He also explains the Open Game License. [00:19:05] Anthony shares his thoughts on the barriers to entry. [00:21:32] We learn from Anthony how he found it easier to make friends through the league than other open source communities. [00:22:47] We find out how many people in the open source gaming community are there on behalf of their company. [00:25:17] Anthony tells us how you can get started in this community. [00:29:24] Find out where you can follow Anthony online. Quotes [00:15:09] “First off, rules aren't protectable by copyright. However, a specific implementation of rules into texts are protected by our copyright.” [00:15:33] “Being a market leader doesn't necessarily mean that you're the best game, but it's the game that everyone knows the rules too.” [00:17:47] “You can at least see the correlation if not show causation, that open licensing allows your game to be more popular and go everywhere.” Spotlight [00:30:20] Eric's spotlight is an open source project called Voxelmade. [00:30:55] Ben's spotlight is an open source astronomy tool called Stellarium. [00:31:27] Eriol's spotlight is The Homebrewery, to turn pages into parchment and Dungeons & Dragons formatting. [00:32:19] Richard's spotlight is the computer game Commander Keen. Also, if you know John Carmack, who is one of the creators of this game, please let him know we are very interested to have him on this podcast! ☺ [00:32:57] Anthony's spotlight is Codidact.

Hello fiends and friends, woe is upon us. We have tried (unsuccessfully) to join the now current generation of gaming (Xbox Series X and PS5) and we have been cursed to live the lives of previous generationers. Join and share our tales of sadness and woe. Games played: Gears Tactics, Hearthstone, and Classic Arcade Gaming. News discussed: Fortnite discusses going the monthly sub route, Remasters are in the cards for the recent console releases, and some backwards compatible games have issues on the PS5. Topic: Is Sony giving up on Japan? Much more was discussed, but unless you have a (Commander) Keen ear, you'll never know. Till next time. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Welcome to episode 57, where I'll be discussing the 1997 Bullfrog business simulation, Theme Hospital. Firstly, I make a small correction regarding some facts in the last show about Indianapolis 500: The Simulation. But first, a bit of news: Frontpage Sports Football is coming back! Commander Keen has been open sourced! Elite: Dangerous Beta 2 is releasing this month! Blizzard has cancelled their long-running project Titan. This Monkey Island Lego set needs your votes! We then discuss the main topic, Theme Hospital. Gameplay, dev story, tech focus, etc. Buy Theme Hospital on GoG: http://www.gog.com/game/theme_hospital?pp=1106a1dda2d680438ecfb0bb70fd479c55a1791f Next time, we'll be discussing the 1986 sci-fi adventure/RPG, Starflight.

In this episode of DCI we talk to Greg McKnight of Wonderfling about their brand new game, KR-17, a platformer inspired by Commander Keen and Mega Man. If trailers are good indication of final quality, then Terrian Saga: KR-17 maybe the game of the year. Seriously, watch this trailer then listen to the podcast then watch the trailer again.
