First post with new material developed at USC. These are some screenshots from my first project for the Game Engine Development class.

Features :

• Render targets and shaders
• Static, animated meshes and camera tracks
• Video textures (wmv) and audio (FMOD)
• Particle systems

PD: Finally, I have updated Wordpress to the newest version.

Yesterday, I went to E for All in Los Angeles. It was a very nice experience but, I think I was expecting more… games, companies, people. Maybe the problem is that our industry has too many shows during the year (It has to be difficult for a game company to present new stuff in each of them). Or maybe the industry prefer to use Internet as medium to attract new clients. In any case, it is clear that something has to change.

Highlights :

• Gears of War 2
  If you liked the first you are going to love this second game! Basically, it is Gears of War * 2, they have improved every single feature of the game.
• Far Cry 2
  The first level is really impressive. I couldn’t play as much as I want because of the line but it keeps the essence of the first Far Cry.
• The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
  Beautiful game created by USC students. Check it out : link
• Others
  Shaun White Snowboarding, Star Wars : The Force Unleashed.

Quick update :

• I moved to Los Angeles last August.
• I got accepted to the Master of Science Computer Science (Game Development) at University of Southern California.
• I am living very close to campus in a beautiful old house.
• More updates coming this weekend.
