Comment by Chris Skaggs on September 6, 2011 at 11:57am We just found a great UI prototypng tool called Mockingbird. It's a very useful way to quickly build wireframes for game flow and basic UI layout.
It might be time to dust off your Unreal Engine 3 skills, because it's coming to Flash. This is some pretty exciting news -

As a developer - and an artist, particularly - the opportunity to bring console-quality to something like Facebook is super exciting to me!
As I understand it, Unity's doing the same thing, too.
Comment by Brian Perry on December 11, 2011 at 2:50am Hello everyone. My name is Brian Perry. I'm currently a Full Sail Masters of Science game design student and trying to start a Christian game studio. I currently have about 6 people I'm trying to work with virtually from all over the world and its proving to be extremely difficult to lead. Game Design Masters is pretty much an MBA for game producers. I'm looking for other experienced Christian game developers out there that have virtual team managing experience that could help mentor me. I'm learning some cool game production skills but I'm finding it really hard to translate to virtual team management. It also wouldn't hurt to have a love for open source games either.

Comment by James Lamar Jacobs on March 24, 2012 at 2:39pm Those interested is getting their own mocap capability for "almost" free should check out www.camvfx.com There is a very affordable product there for under $200 that uses your Xbox360 Kinect camera to capture outstanding live action that can be attached to a rigged figure and then exported back to your development program. They also have higher performance products but they will cost closer to $1,000 or so. If you just need basic performance, go the low end, if you have a studio and need Hollywood mocap, then the high end.
Second, on the same site, they offer low-end and high-end facial recognition products as well as Hollywood quality cinematography equipment that interfaces directly into Unreal Engine 3, Maya and 3Ds Max. These tools will greatly save you time as well as greatly improve quality!
