Sony has just released the new PS3, and Chris Remo has just now his PS3 preview/review on the Shack. The semi-surprise is that the PS3 browser does run Flash content; see an screenshot here. This has been the center of a recent discussion on Flashcoders: whether or not the PS3 would run Flash. It seemed […]
Continue reading →Gamespot has an article by Mike Verdu (of Electronic Arts LA) where he explains the pitfalls involved in designing the new interface for Tiberium Wars (the new version of the Command & Conquer real time strategy series) and how they were addressed. While targeted at players, it does have some interesting tidbits about the usability […]
Continue reading →Mainly fixes to the previous versions – and yes, in case you didn’t know, AS3 is supported. Get it here.
Continue reading →A new beta Flash 9 update adds fullscreen functionality to Flash Player. This raises two concerns: first and foremost, the ability for malicious developers to exploit the feature (specially for ads). This seems to be well addressed by way of the security features and rules that you have to follow when triggering the fullscreen mode. […]

So get your vector programs going – in the communist open-source spirit, I recommend InkScape – and draw nice polygons for […]

This news’ bomb has been just dropped and it’s bound to change the way independent, hobbyist and amateur game development works: by using C# and Microsoft’s XNA technology (a DirectX of sorts), people […]
Continue reading →Yay Hooray has a long thread on redesigning famous logos in Web 2.0 format. Interesting and funny. The thread has been slightly hijacked by advertisements, and as any other Internet fad it’s bringing the server to its knees, but the logos are still there. Alternatively, you can view them directly through the collection on Flickr. […]
Continue reading →Well, here it is: the third version of this blog. The first one was done with MovableType; then I moved it to WordPress; and now, I’m still using WordPress, but created a new template and moved it to a new location. In fact, it’s not as if I changed the site, but rather it was […]
