## DrupalCon New Orleans * Where is the DrupalCon going to be?     * New Orleans convention center * When is it?     * May 9-13 2016 * Why New Orleans?     * We are seeing an incredible rebirth of a Great American City.  Hurricane Katrina was such an unbelievable disaster, 80% of the city was flooded.  Surrounding Parishes even worse, (we have Parishes instead of Counties), St. Bernard Parish, just down river, 99% was flooded.  In the last 10 years we have overcome seemingly unsurmountable rebuilding, and have plenty more in the works.  DrupalCon coming to New Orleans is great affirmation of progress we have made.  It has a vibe like no other city, you can feel the life. * Why were you so driven to bring DrupalCon to your town?     * It’s such a great place to be!  Growing up 5 miles from Bourbon Street, we tend to take our City for granted.  We do things that are rarely seen in the world!  Food, Festivals, Family activities, Music, and of course you can drink in public!  The general attitude across the whole city is very inviting and laid back.  Really, a perfect place for a crowd like the Drupal Community! * What does the tech community look like there?     *Growing in leaps and bounds.  The entrepreneur landscape is one of the top in the country – we lead the nation in startups per capita by 64%, and we have a growing network of capital, which is important for startups.  Game Loft, GE Capital, High Voltage Software have all chosen New Orleans because of our deep incentives, unique culture, and low cost of living. And our tech community is coalescing with the formation of TechNO, a coalition of local tech companies who meet regularly to promote the presence of the industry, New Orleans Entrepreneur Week hosted by the Idea Village, and NOLA Tech Week, which attracts national speakers and provides a great opportunity to showcase the industry. Finally, many local community colleges and universities are developing curricula to meet new digital workforce demands. There is no better opportunity in the country for tech companies than New Orleans. (from GNO, Inc. can be summarized) * What does the Drupal community look like?     * We just had our Second camp! :-)  Small but dedicated!  We have had Meetups Monthly since 2010. * How important is the local community with the regards to putting on a DrupalCon.     * I think now that the Drupal Association has taken the reigns of the Cons, the local community plays a part, but not like say, 2010, when we were in San Francisco.  The local community had to shoulder the brunt of the work.  And frankly, it was a lot, plus we probably had a limited number of cities with that size local community.  That’s one of the great things about the Association, organizing DrupalCons! * What’s the Drupal adoption look like in New Orleans?     * Growing, like everything else down here!  The larger Universities have adopted Drupal, Tulane, Loyola, LSU up in Baton Rouge, plus the WWII museum, WWOZ (a great radio station, you should listen online), Cafe Du Monde, The Chef John Besh Restaurant Group, Audubon Nature Institute, Dr. Tichenor’s, maybe more….(or we keep it short??) * Who’s going to be the “boots on the ground” in New Orleans playing “host”?     * Hopefully, us!  We are both born and raised in the New Orleans area.  I am involved in the local civic and business community and the entire Tech community are excited to host Drupalers! * How is it organized compared to years past? (Level of community and association involvement)     * Again the Drupal Association has done a great job of spearheading the Cons.  We worked closely with them to develop the logo and overall branding of the Con.  In the coming months, we will work with them to look at venues and locations for events.  Sponsors have reached out to us to help them organization of their specific needs for parties and meeting. * How will you be choosing who is selecting sessions     * Each Con we put together the Track Team which is comprised of global track chairs (people who have evaluated and selected sessions for a Con at least once before) and then we work to assemble the Local Track Chairs who work in conjunction with the globals.  We get these people from recommendations from within the community, people reaching out to volunteer and people expressing interest to Global Track Chairs.  They go through an interview process with the Drupal Association and then the team is assembled and starts working to get out the call for content.  It’s quite a ways away planning-wise but the Drupal Association will start putting together the New Orleans Track Team in the late fall, so if you’re interested or know someone who would be a great addition please reach out to amanda@association.drupal.org.   You can read all about the session selection process here: https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2015/session-selection-process    * For those that want to have a future Con in their community, do you have any advice?  * We heard interest from the Drupal Association in having a New Orleans Con about five years ago, but we didn’t have a local community to support it. We started up a small meetup in Baton Rouge in 2010, then it slowly migrated to New Orleans. We didn’t lobby anyone to win the conference for the city. We just tried to establish a community and show consistent interest over the years, and trusted that New Orleans is a destination that the community would want to visit. Eric: you were at that first meetup and have helped to coordinate the growth of the group, what are your thoughts?     * Have a consistent Meetup!  We decided at our first Meetup we would meet on the First Thursday of the Month, even if it was only two people.  And barring that occasional conflict with a carnival parade we have done that.  Then organize a Camp, start small and be consistent! * Before we started recording, you mentioned that you wanted to talk about possible afterparty locations. Do you want to do that now?     * Everywhere!     * Crawfish season   ## Questions from Twitter * [Ryan Gibson](https://www.twitter.com/ryanissamson) What kind of festivities can we expect during DrupalCon NO? #MUP139 * [Carie Fisher](https://www.twitter.com/cariefisher)   #MUP139 best place for drupalcon parties? any places we should try and visit in NO? * [Robyn Green](https://www.twitter.com/robynlgreen) Question for Jeff, What amount of LSU attire will I be required to have for Drupalcon, and where can I get a 'I

We received an inquiry from a fan and it inspired us to discuss how to use music and sounds in video games. Brian and Ike tackle this topic with great detail using some of their personal experiences. So, enjoy! Today's Developer Diary Ike's watching movies and Brian talks about his experience at E3. This was much different than PAX which was all consumers, so you're audience and players and you can see that they really are interested in what you're doing. But the main difference at E3 is it's more of everyone sizing each other up, more of a competition. It's basically media and industry professionals at E3. The fact that the game is made by just a two person team is getting some attention. The One Room Schoolhouse had been busy and getting pretty close to launching another education game this year and doing some contract work as well. He does contract work during the day and at night works on his own stuff just to have enough fuel to get through the day. Game development involves a lot of momentum. We just want to thank you because we've received a bunch of great reviews on iTunes! "Keep on killing it guys! It's like Christmas opening up my podcast app and seeing a new episode." Thanks so much! It means a lot that we're resonating and hope to live up to your praise. Sound and Music In Video Games Many of you may not know this, but music is Brian's first love. Before he was an artist, programmer and video game developer he played the guitar and music is in his blood. He's currently playing in a band too!  Brian's love of music certainly shows in his games and trailers as he uses it as a centerpiece. In the film industry they say score, but in the video game industry it can be broken up into two sides: Sound Effects:  Put onto a jump, a bullet shooting, button sounds in your UI - those are usually a one off, you just play this and it plays a sound file and of coarse there's some tricks to the trade Soundtrack: You can do a lot with it like have different soundtracks for different levels like classic Super Mario Bros. or blend from one soundtrack to another like Journey did and make it very composed. Music and Soundtracks in the Mobile Market When people play games on their mobile devices, there is more of a tendency to play covertly and the player might not want a ton of sound and music. So how much effort do you put into your sound on a mobile game if a lot people are playing it silently? Keep in mind people can play with headphones on and there is something to the sound. It would be a huge mistake to not give your sound the attention it deserves. Obviously you wouldn't give it as much attention as art because that's visual and how you get your foot in the door. So, you'll want to get your art style down first and then make sure your sound can support it. Ike remembered the game EverQuest and how the game had a sound when you leveled up that was the most satisfying sound on the planet. Never forget how impactful sound can be. It can do so much for your production and if you put the effort into it, it will just pay off ten fold.  Putting Sound in Your Game It's really part of the basic core feedback to the player. If you think about a game mechanic, there's three things to think about as far as your core gameplay mechanics: A visual of the gameplay - show the actual mechanic There's a sound to go with it - put a sound to it A visual component in the UI - somehow draw attention to it in the UI as well Brian shares his experience when he worked at High Voltage Software with the lead audio guy. He said after the game was prototyped and they're ready to start putting sound in, he would look for anything that looks like it would add some sort of a sound like if something moves would be the first thing he would look for. If it moves, does it make a sound, then let's get a sound in there for it. So, if in doubt put a sound in there for it.

Una noche en Atomix, llegó Artemio y gritó “Ahí viene Aftasher con Pidgeot y su Score” Hoy con el dia de muertos, celebramos todo aquello macabro y escalofriante en la oficina mientras nos aventamos el show entero con las luces apagadas y en disfraz a la luz de las pantallas.

Actually there is very little discussed about E3, despite the fact that one member of the SHFTS crew is actually going. Instead, we start with Alphabox chatting about a beer you can only by once a year, Kropotkin playing loads of games and trying to figure out Inception, Hendrix going nut-bag crazy over DiRT 3, and not in a good way and BloodShot Robot chatting about his experiences with The Witcher 2.
