Anthony Daniels - November 2nd , 2010

It was our pleasure to have Anthony Daniels sit down for a playtest on The Cube Game and The Bubble Game (almost time for proper titles) .

It was great to hear him laugh out loud – while enjoying – the games.

Some feedback we’ll be taking into consideration as our games come closer to completion.

2 weeks to softs !

Halves - October 21st, 2010

Halves are done! - Now back to work!

We feel good about the way things went in the presentation. Some great reactions to the look of the games.

We would have liked more EA staff for playtesting but we’re thankful for those who did take the time.

Pre – Halves - October 18th, 2010

Gearing up for Halves Presentations.

Much has changed since Quarter Presentations. Our Three games are taking shape.

We’ll be playtesting after the presentations. But now trying to squeeze in as much rehearsal time while still working on the games!

Johnny visit #2 - October 8th, 2010

Heeere’s Johnny !

Johnny Wang is in town from China for a progress report on our games.

We talked about a possible trip to Beijing and briefed him on our upcoming presentation.

He assures us the SDK will be in our hands soon – as well as an updated prototype!



Playtesting !! - October, 2010

Busy playtesting with our classmates. Mostly on The Bubble Game.

Informative results. We’ll be implementing the game mechanic changes and very useful suggestions!

Thanks ETC-SV !

September 29th, 2010 - Three Games

We’re going ahead with 3 different games. The Cube Game, The Bubble Game and The Light Game.

Each of them incorporates 3D in a different way.

We’ll have some artwork up here soon so check back again when you can!

September 22nd, 2010 - Quarter Presentations

Not nervous at all! ;-)

We’ve got our presentation all ready to go. We’re speaking today at Electronic Arts in front of a sea of people interested in hearing all about our group and the 2 other groups here in SV.

We’ve got our games narrowed down to 4!

We’re busy prototyping The Cube Game and The Bubble Game. Next week we prototype The Light Game and The Tunnel Game.

We’ll see how testing goes and decide our future from there.

Sept 15&16th - 3D Summit

Mark was in Los Angeles at the 3D Entertainment Summit.

There were two days of panels and new technology to try out.

There were other auto-stereo screens being shown off. Similar to Nintendo’s new 3DS.

There were reps from Ubisoft, Crytek, Nintendo, Double Helix and Nvidia all speaking on the future of 3D in gaming. Very optimistic about the future.

Many people at the conference believe it will be 3D gaming that brings 3DTVs to the homes in big numbers.

M. Night Shamalayan gave a talk about 3D as an afterthought one of his films.

Jeffrey Katzenberg spoke passionately about the attention that needs to be given to doing 3D properly.


Sept 10th, 2010 - Five Games

We’ve been wracking our brains, planning out some interesting game ideas.

We’ve been looking at the examples Johnny Wang left us and researching what games work well with 3D.

We’re trying to make the best use of the added depth. We’re thinking, cubes, lights, bubbles, planets and bunch of other things.

We'd love to do them all but we'll have to take into consideration schedule and work load of each.

Stay tuned!



August 31st, 2010 - Client Visit

Client Super D VP Johnny Wang Visits Silicon Valley Campus

Our client Johnny Wang came to visit today. He left for us one of his remarkable 3D Laptops with auto-stereo display. That’s right folks… 3D without using glasses.


We’ve got a bunch of content to inspect in order to get to know the technology. There are some examples of 3D games which we’ll be looking at, learning what works and what doesn’t.


Our assignment is to put together 3-4 games that show off the use of 3D. – The added dimension.

Here we go!
